Meet Maybelline's First Male Ambassador, Manny MUA

Make-up isn't just for girls.

As you know, make-up has been a dual gender thing since the times of French monarchy, and soon died down. But what you didn't know is that make-up brands are starting to hire men as the face of beauty products. Some of the male beauty vloggers create looks that wouldn't even look the same on me if I tried them. How awesome is that? Make-up is starting to grow into an item of gender equality. But one other reason why some beauty brands are bringing on men as ambassadors is because they are different than the other ambassadors. They're not just men; they are men who inspire. They are men who are creating an outlet for others who share the same interest as them.

Below is the ad for Maybelline featuring Manny MUA and Makeupshayla.

We were all surprised when CoverGirl brought on James Charles as one of the faces of CoverGirl. But when we heard that Manny MUA became on of the stars of Maybelline's add campaigns, our excitement went through the roof!

Manny stated that "Being an influencer is cool, because you get to be in other people's homes. Someone was watching you, hopefully inspired by you, and you hear so many stories that they've been inspired by because of you."

If you don't know who Manny MUA is, you should look him up on YouTube and watch some of his amazing tutorials. I personally love the "Get Ready with Me" videos with Jeffree Star. 'Cause girl, those liquid lip sticks are LIFE. But back to Manny: It is amazing that we have another man be the face of an amazing beauty brand. What's next? Bretman Rock becoming the face of Revlon? That would be a crazy domino effect.

But guys, make-up isn't just for girls. Why are there gender stereotypes that say one thing is for girls and the other is for boys? Who said boys can wear make-up? Maybe that one hater sitting in the corner, but whatever.

Can I say one thing? Guys do their make-up way better than I can. That's kind of a fact for most of our thoughts on this. However, how many guys do you know who like make-up? None? Or maybe one? The reason you don't know that many is because they are scared of being judged for liking something that is seen as something only girls are into.

Manny MUA, Bretman Rock, James Charles, and Jeffree Star are paving the way for other male individuals to embrace what they love and to be confident about it.

Our society needs to be more accepting of those who have an interest in things that society doesn't see as their gender norm. These amazing individuals are definitely paving the way for those who watch them on YouTube.

In the end, Manny MUA is life and a BOSS.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
