When it comes to cultivating one's "look," women are encouraged to try new styles of clothing and makeup. Men have far fewer "acceptable" options; at most stores they are given just a couple of clothing styles to choose between, and they are not expected to wear any makeup. If makeup is a tool used for self-expression, then isn't it repressive of our society to become uncomfortable at the sight of a man wearing makeup? Here are some pictures of men wearing makeup. They look pretty comfortable with it, don't they?
