Can Men Wear Makeup? Any Facial Additives?

[Buki]

I heard from Thai gay men that they consider the thai-chinese look handsome. Considered as their benchmark to "male attractiveness".

I´m not gay,married and have 2 kids.But I use regulary a slightly tanning face cream in the morning as I´m "royal" pale.

i dont know why many thais hate their natural tans.

The simple answer is that all people who are "this" would rather be "that". All paleface Europeans would rather be tannned because most Europeans are paleface. All tanned Thais would rather be paleface because most Thais are tanned. I've been visiting Thailand for 13 years and the one thing that I've noticed most of all is that 'stars' on Thai TV have got more farang-like every year. It's possible to watch Thai TV nowadays and not realise that you're actually in Thailand

When watching Thai TV, I'm always remarking to my soul-mate, "That guy cannot possibly be Thai!" Oops. Wrong again.

Succumbing under the pressure here... anyone here know a good lipo surgeon or a facial person for those deep cleanses in BKK?

why not? at the end of the day what is the definition of a real man? would putting make up change on chromosome?

noticed that here in thailand is more common for men in bathroom to check their look and style in the mirror than in europe.

Yeah, as one of the previous poster said ... Gaultier released the 1st ever commercially available line of men's make-up. Men have been wearing make-up for centuries... perfectly fine if you're not into it, but why be intimidated &/or judgemental of other men being less masculine just because of it? It's all a matter of who's got the balls to wear some.

Women today are the real men, anyway. Next!

i came to realize that in Europe if i will put make-up and go out, some people might stare at me or point at me while whispering at the ear of someone with them.

here in Thailand? totally normal, even if i go to a straight place no one will stare at me or look at me like i am coming from outer space.

Agree in Thailand is norm. Applied make up just before going out at a club.
