Male make-up counters could become a reality within five years, the UK boss of L'Oreal has said, as it is no longer a taboo for the "selfie generation".

In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Vismay Sharma, the cosmetics giant's UK managing director, said that demand for make-up among men was growing fast.

Gaylords like Anderson Pooper and Shemp Smith can’t wait for their makeovers.

;D

I don’t think he shops at a department store.

Well, the statement was made by the UK boss of L'Oreal, so I'm thinking he's referring to the UK people formally known as men.

Ok, then ... the woosification of the world continues ...

[Salamander]

He’s actually quite the little shopaholic.

If he’s not playing golf before his shows, he’s hanging out in the local mall, shopping.

Big fan of Hot Topic and his album credits usually list several makeup companies.

:D

Right... like the male skincare items which keep ending up in the discount store only to be bought by bargain shopping women.

I can just see my mom’s face if he stepped up at the Clinique counter.

" Great, now there will be TWO gauntlets to run when entering Macy’s."

You'll have to learn how to run with a manpad attached to the Crotch of your manpanties. You know, for your heavy flow days!!

You’ll never see me at one. Pathetic

[Salamander]

LOLOL!

[metmom]

Good for your daughter.

[Persevero]

I see this sort of announcement from time to time. It never happens. So far not enough men buy makeup. Except for trannies, who I do see foccasionally, I’ve never seen a man wear makeup in public.

ROFL indeed, some of the most Uber-males TODAY wear
Outs of make-up! LOL

[the OlLine Rebel]

Damn iPad. LOTS, and not the company, just uber.

[discostu]

Could. Probably won’t. There’s just not that much market.

[firebrand]

Sephora already has a men’s section.

[Persevero]

Re sephoras men’s section: I wonder

How long have they had it? And

Is it basically aftershave and skin care, hair products, cologne ...or actual makeup?

[Salamander]

:D

I hate my iPad, too.

[firebrand]

It’s in the NYC stores. I’ll have to take a look at it and see before I answer your question. Next time I go in.

I’ve never seen a man in there, but I’m sure some must buy stuff sometimes otherwise they would get rid of the section.

This reminds me of an SNL “Mabeline for Men” parody commercial from a few years back.
