Should Boys Play Make Up Games?


It’s an interesting debate should you ever take part in a discussion on boys and make up. Should boys wear make up?

Some would argue no – that make up games are feminine and that boys who wear make up are sending a message about their gender. “Tough” boys wouldn’t be caught dead in make up, although they might play around with it when a girl they are flirting with tries to put some on him.

Others look to bands like Metro Station and Tokio Hotel and see that boys are wearing make up as part of their punk look. If the hot lead singers of bands are wearing make up, why can’t boys who like the look in the real world who just happen to not be on the cover an album. Do tight pants, punk hair styles and eyeliner make someone less manly? Judging by the number of girls screaming over boys who look exactly like that, I’d say make up games are just a natural part of certain looks and the world will have to get used to it.
