It's fantastic to see men embracing makeup and cosmetics as a way of expressing themselves and looking their best. In the past, makeup has been seen as something that only women should use, but times are changing! Male celebrities such as James Charles, Mario Dedivanovic and Patrick Starr have helped break down these gender barriers by showcasing bold looks on social media. It has become more socially acceptable for men to wear makeup in public, which is a great sign of progression within society.
At its core, wearing cosmetics/makeup is about allowing people to be confident in their appearance. Men who choose to wear makeup are free being able to enhance certain features or experiment with different looks. It should not be judged – everyone deserves the right to feel beautiful however they like! Ultimately it’s important that we accept all aspects of expression when it comes to beauty standards - there is no one definition of beauty; it means something different for everyone.
