Would you be inclined to buy makeup because a 10-year-old boy is showing you how to create a look on Instagram? If we’re talking about Jack Bennett of @makeuupbyjack, then the answer could well be a resounding yes.
Since convincing his mother to start his account in May, young Mr. Bennett, who lives in Berkshire, England, has amassed 331,000 followers and attracted the attention of brands like MAC and NYX, which have offered products to create looks. Refinery29 has celebrated him as the next big thing in makeup.
He is the latest evidence of a seismic power shift in the beauty industry, which has thrust social media influencers to the top of the pecking order. Refreshingly, they come in all shapes, sizes, ages and, more recently, genders. ......

“What you have now are millennial moms who have grown up in an era where gender is more fluid,” Ms. Friedman said. “Millennials are very in tune with empowering their children.” ......

Child abuse!

How many of them are adult gay males?
>>The glam-rockers were doing that sort of thing in the early 1970s. Not at that age, though.
They were also doing booze, hard drugs, and sharing groupies like Nancy Spungen.
Nice looking dog although he does appear a bit uncomfortable!
Nothing new. Makeup for men was tried back around 1968. In the movie Rosemary’s Baby, in the party scene you will see a man with heavy makeup walk in behind a girl.
I figured this would be a NYTimes paean to Shep Smith.
Actually, his eye makeup is NOT “way better” than mine! My eye makeup enhances my eyes and makes them stand out, without actually looking like I wear much eye makeup at all. Hey, I didn’t get voted “Class Eyes” in my senior class mock elections because I drew clownish eyeliner on my lids. Young man, put your mother’s makeup case back on her vanity, get a bat and ball, and go outside and act like a 10 year old boy.
The kid is going to be an Hors d’oeuvre for the homosexual community........
The fags say "Get them before 8 or it's too late.
The propaganda indoctrination program is in full swing and the Slimes is on board!
Mom’s probably planning on making some money on that venture, too.
I take it this is not a Shepherd Smith thread?
Spungen seems to have reached NYC by 1975, when the glam rock scene was already over and the punk scene had started. She had drug problems long before then, though.
Of course, there were girls like her before that time that the glam rockers were fooling with.

“Nancy was a groupie, trailing after the New York Dolls and the Heartbreakers.”
The latter band resulted from the fallout of the former, which is considered “proto-punk” with a mockery of the glam look (also called “mock rock” in Britain). Glam was pretty much over by 1974.
Beyond disgusting, and yes, I’m sure Mom is behind this and counting her bucks. Or pounds or whatever. And the kid is completely f’d for life.
Son of a gun, I thought this was going to be about Shepard Smith!
These are the fearsome NYC leftist warriors who will kick down your door and confiscate your weapons. They may wear lipstick and eyebrow liner, but underneath that makeup is a 10-foot-tall Rambo who eats nails for breakfast and pees sitting down.
The eyeliner is thick, like he used a magic marker. But, what do I know about today’s trends?
