Any person wearing makeup wants to look
attractive by having flawless skin and strong
eyebrows.
The outcome of makeup is often exaggerated.
Advertisers sometimes employ flattering
lighting or strategic camera angle to make
their images more attractive than they are to
attract more users. In most cases, men are
hooked to the advertising and marketing
tricks.
In our present age when many social
expected are challenged and norms are
broken, identity has been put into some
tremendous pressure. Wearing earrings,
lipsticks, long hairstyle, to mention just a few
examples are no more traditional persevered
for women. They have become common
trends for men. The notion that makeup is
for women is now past tense. People have
gone past the DOS and DON’TS in life. The
emergence of companies producing makeup
for men has proved the naysayers wrong on
who should wear makeup. Unisex makeup
products have become more mainstream as
men try to enhance their facial appearance.
“One of
the main
disadvantages
of makeup is
that it makes
the users feel
unappealing
without them.
Despite the advantages, the makeup comes
with some negative sides. One of the
main disadvantages of makeup is that it
makes the users feel unappealing without
them. They can also cause headache,
eye infections, hair problem, premature
ageing, hormonal imbalance and infertility.
The introduction of makeup for men and
its use by men have seriously altered and
redefined our identity and challenged the
meaning of meaning. Perhaps, by seeing
one’s self as having multiple identities
which are not static or pre-given, we are
equally presented with the sameness of
what we once regarded as different. Call it
gender rediscovery or redefinition, if you
want.
