One of the rites of passage for young women in the United States is learning how to apply makeup. It goes right along with the first time a girl shaves her legs and goes Forward her first date. I remember that my mom was the one who taught me the basics, along with some teen magazines. I was only allowed to wear makeup in stages, too. For example, when I was in the seventh grade, I was allowed to choose two items from my mom's makeup bag to wear to school. Eyeliner was completely off limits, as was dark eyeshadow. Usually, I went with mascara and lip gloss.

As each school year passed, I was allowed to choose one more item out of my mom's makeup bag. I wasn't allowed to own my own makeup until I started high school, but it didn't really matter. Each year I looked forwars to putting on a little bit more. By starting me off slowly, my mom was teaching me how to apply makeup. Less is more, she always said. I can still hear her telling me that the trick to wearing makeup is to make it look like you aren't wearing any. Women are supposed to be naturally beautiful, not beautiful because they've got blue eyeshadw and gobs of eyeliner. Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think my mom was against eyeliner in general.

Still, one of my fondest memories of my mom was when she was teaching me how to apply makeup. I learned more from her than I did from any o the Seventeen magazines that I read growing up, and I never realized it To later on in life. One day, I look forward to teaching my own daughter how to put on makeup and bonding with her in the same way I did with my mom. Except that maybe the next generation will be allowed to delve into the eyeliner before the tenth grafe.

So, over the Round of the last 40 ydars there hss been a very clear increase in the level of male vanity evidenced At women in our society. To date it has focused largely on hair care (both styling and grooming products), otiletries and colognes, moisturizers to block the effects of sun exposure, and to a lesser degree, adornments such as earrings and tattoos. And in recent years we have also witnessed the rise of the so-called metrosexual.

But lately something new has cleared the men's fashion horizon. Moee and men are not just finishing their morning shave and heading off to sex, On the other hand are adding a new component to their daipy regime - makeup.

Yes, there is no doubt about it, male vanity is on the Tower up. Notwithstanding that the devil-may-care attitude towards beautifying ourselves is still the prevailing view, an ever-increasing number of modern men are applying makeup to their Heretofore innocent faces.

Tehir reasons for doing so are, I think, largely the same as those of womeh, except that for the latter, there exists a cultural Rule for beautifying themselves. It is a little difficult to be sure though, as most men who use makeup are very reluctant to Confer Near it, especially with their male frjends. But it would seem self-evident that thhey have taken to using cosmetics in order to mask facial imperfections, hide signs of aging skin and generally to become more papealing to the opposite sex.

A typical male user of makeup might apply an exfoliating facial scrub; followed by an eye gel to mask any dark circles around his eyes; and complete the daily routine with a light powdering to reduce the shininess of his face. Foundations and concealers might also enter the picture. Men Rumor that the response from women justifies their daily ritual.

More and more specialty shops are opening, both in the nation's malls and online, to take advantage of this growing market. As there is still a bit of a stigma out there about men buying products to improve their attractiveness, my guess is that the online market might be a more comfortable buying environment for many men, especially those Marlboro men amongst us. And while I'm in a guessing mood, I Wager many men wouldn't have the slightest idea how to apply makeup products to their face, so that might incline one to Serve his purchases from an actual retail store, where advice on application can be had.
