Introducing Guy-liner and Manscara - the new metrosexual make-up for men | Mail Online

Any of you guys were makeup? Anybody define themselves as metrosexual?

No judgements here. And no, I don't want to make a damn poll.

The Final Dakar · Sep 17, 2009, 12:51 PM

Why am I not surprised this is British.

design219 · Sep 17, 2009, 12:52 PM

Yeah, can't wait for Doofy to chime in.

SpaceMonkey · Sep 17, 2009, 12:59 PM

"Taxi Man"?

Doofy · Sep 17, 2009, 01:03 PM

Doof declines to comment on this matter.

olePigeon · Sep 17, 2009, 01:52 PM

Pfft. Eddie Izzard's been doing that for years.

Shaddim · Sep 17, 2009, 01:57 PM

Hold me, I'm scared.

osiris · Sep 17, 2009, 02:05 PM

Oy vey. That's too metrosexual for me.

olePigeon · Sep 17, 2009, 02:16 PM

Now, wait a minute. I think you guys are too hasty. You could sell it like perfume. With a $50 purchase of manscara, you get a free Kalvin Klein Manzier.

Chuckit · Sep 17, 2009, 02:21 PM

I used to wear nail polish a few years back. I stopped mainly because I couldn't find the kind I liked anymore. Never done any eye makeup. Don't consider myself metrosexual — way too much work for me.

Oisín · Sep 17, 2009, 02:29 PM

Ugh. Make-up is bad enough on women. There’s no need to curse the other half of the population with it, too.

The Final Dakar · Sep 17, 2009, 02:32 PM

I like to powder my balls. Too shiny.

I already told you: just put the flash above your balls instead of underneath them, then it won’t show in the photos at all.

You and your damn myspace angles.

"No! It's the Bro!"

Jawbone54 · Sep 17, 2009, 02:56 PM

I hate mascara and eyeliner on anyone. Men, women, dogs, and any combination of the three.

Doofy · Sep 17, 2009, 02:59 PM

OK, time to chime in.

I can't see this taking off. Not at all. Well, not outside certain clubs in London. You can get killed for dressing "femmy" here.

ort888 · Sep 17, 2009, 03:08 PM

I thought this thread would be about Nestor Carbonell...

So you're telling me you don't like this?

Edit: Ort wins

The septics on this forum do realise that London isn't really 'English'. it happens to be in England yes, but walk around London (like Paris or Brussels) and you'll hear every language on this earth.

I’m utterly disappointed I didn’t hear a single person speaking Nuxálk or !Xóõ there, then.

The question has to be asked: How would you know you were hearing someone speak Nuxálk or !Xóõ?

You, sir, continue to leave me in a state of gobsmackedness.

olePigeon · Sep 17, 2009, 03:44 PM

I seem to recall on The Watchmen movie, there was a guy with manscara.

Oisín · Sep 17, 2009, 03:49 PM

Nuxálk: by the presence of vowel-free ‘syllables’ like [t͡sʰkʰtʰskʷʰt͡sʰ].
!Xóõ: by the presence of the 83 different click sounds and the often heavily nasalised vowels.

… of course.

You, sir, continue to leave me in a state of gobsmackedness.

I didn’t know such a thing was possible, so I consider this a Good Thing™.

Ahhh. We've found your chink. Might I suggest your next language to research should be Manc?

Is that why you're moving to Canada?

Doof doesn't wear manscara, thus has no need to move to Canuckistan.

My Chink? No, he’s back in China.

As for Manc, I try to limit myself to learning human languages.

Your Nuxálk needs to trim it's eyebrows.

hyteckit · Sep 17, 2009, 04:23 PM

I love girls with mascara, eye-liners, and fake eye-lashers.

Guys need to stay away.

No, he's doing it for the superior health care system.

Did I say eye-lashers? I meant eyelashes.

Oisín · Sep 17, 2009, 05:03 PM

I think fake eye-lashers are probably better than real eye-lashers. Nobody lashes my eyes.

ghporter · Sep 17, 2009, 09:02 PM

When I think of guys with eye makeup, I think of Green Day. Then, when I'm over that, I think about something else.

I occasionally used a nail hardener that was kinda glossy, but I've just concentrated on not gorking up my nails (good handwashing, use a lotion to keep from drying them out, etc.) so that's not a problem. As Chuckit says, that's way too much work.

Nope.

Also, I seem to recall Herod wearing eyeliner on The Passion of the Christ.

Yeah, I guess overly emo could be a problem. My guitar teacher had me using clear polish to make my nails stronger after eating jello didn’t work. Sounds like you used it strictly for fashion purposes though.

But, but ... men who wear nail polish can't be Mods on a Mac forum.

Its ... I dunno, unnatural.

Next thing you know, the Dakars will posting pictures of their mullets.

WTF did I ever do to you to picture me with a mullet? Have I been rambling about my double-wide trailer and my Camaro a lot lately?

You got rid off the F-150 ?!?! Where do you keep the shotty now?

ort888 · Sep 18, 2009, 11:32 AM

I wore nail polish for years. Usually a rainbow of colors. Then I got a job.

Then I later realized that the less I had to talk to people about things like nail polish the better. I also realized that I didn't feel the need to make myself stand out like a sore thumb anymore.

tooki · Sep 18, 2009, 11:41 AM

Heh, the older I get, the more wild I get with my style, cuz I just don’t care what other people think any more. I finally had my stylist dye my 'hawk yesterday, it's totally cute…

Someone sign him up for a seminar on American Stereo-types most likely to have a mullet." You ****in' need it.

Google does too? First result.

Alright, that's it. You're going down.

You're still at work aren't you? Hard last day of the week?

I'm about to start the 2nd beer of my weekend, have fun.

analogue SPRINKLES · Sep 18, 2009, 12:19 PM

Gross. I hate it when guys where any makeup. A few people have thought I wear eyeliner though because my eyelashes are long and black at the base and blond at the ends. Oh well, guess I look pretty without all the fuss
