I recently heard that there are companies now making cosmetics (not skin creams ect, actual cosmetics) for guys. Have you heard of this? Are us guys getting pretty now? What do you think of this trend?

Cosmetics for men!!!!!
The man who use such cosmetics isn't a man and i think that women dont like such man(who use these cosmetics) because i think he is a gay

as a woman, i have used make up for some time. now i know as well as anyone there is a fine line between a lovely glow and looking trashy.
My boyfriend likes when i am putting my make up on.. not because i am ugly without (i dont think anyways lol) but because he knows i want to feel good and look nice for him. Now he has started to borrow a couple of the products i use, which i am fine about because he doesnt go over the top wearing eye shadow and that sort of thing. but he is really conscious of his occasional spots, and blemishes, and a little concealer makes him look and feel so much better.
i do not think that any body should judge people, male or female, for wanting to better there appearance. and although i love a tall dark handsome man in eye liner (the 80's ruled!!) i would t force it on anyone, or condemn them for doing it.
I am a little worried that one day though, men are going to start to lose there masculinity, and think that they can get by in the world on just their looks. because lets face it... there are only so many people that will be Calvin Klein models! he he!

Dave Navarro wears makeup and the ladies think he's hot as does Bowie and I'd do him in a second. I think anything that is created and slightly smudges the gender line, as well as breaks rules of what is acceptable is a good thing. It'll be a good way of seeing whom the brave are. I don't think there is anything wrong with looking good. I know a few men who could use a some foundation to even out their tone but nothing drastic like eye shadow and junk. I also don't think there is anything wrong with wanting to have a man groomed. It doesn't have to be something that you wear and people think you're gay i think there is more a problem with that than the cosmetics themselves. Personally I don't care WTF is on your face, that's only second to everything else i like about you.

I dunno if its true but its an interesting one because it hits on lots of social nerves.
While make up may be considered girlie now, in another 30 or 40 years it could be pretty normal. What makes me say that? Well you can speak to your Dad or your Grandad, they didn't really have deodrant, anti-perspirants or all the colognes when they were kids we have now and people that did wear them we considered effeminate.
Men are becomming better groomed and more preening and taking greater pride in their appearance and this also used to be a slightly camp trend, particularly in the British. While Europeans have for some time taken great pride in their dress.

When I were a lad (God I sound like my dad), my dad used to think it was strange that men wore deodorant, which really amused me because I thought that he was so behind the times. Now I feel the same way about male cosmetics, what is the point? Lets get back to normality, leave the make-up and the moisturisers to the girls and keep men as men.

it's a gimmick by the cosmetic companies to expand their market ... please please don't use them. What women want from men is to be clean - not coloured with artificial colourings. It's one thing to shave and use a light moisturiser, but it's another thing to use tinted foundation since it then sends a big signal that you are vain. And vanity is a big no-no to most women - they want to be the pretty one.
Please see this for what it is - cosmetic companies trying to get more customers. You guys really don't want to be slopping that stuff on your face and getting the same insecurities as we women have - stay manly, please!!

Clarins for men is a really good range from Shampoo to face scrubs and eye balm - for the wrinkles!!
Available from ebay in trial sizes, or even better go to debenhams and at the clarins counter they will do you a perscription just for you, and give you trial ones to sample at home for free!!!
I have bought Elemis for my partner, really expensive buy nice.

I don't think cosmetics are necessary, for boys and even for girls.
