Cosmetics giant Maybelline has been slammed for using men, some with full beards, to promote its new product lines.
The brand had makeup artist Ryan Vita, a 'Maybelline Partner', promote a new lipstick in two promotional videos shared to its Instagram page.
In another post last week, makeup artist Zak Taylor was also used to promote a new summer product the brand had launched.
The move immediately sparked an avalanche of comments from social media users who slammed the brand for using men.
In his promotional video, Vita can be seen applying a bright pink lipstick as part of an Amazon Prime Day advert.
The company captioned its post by tagging Vita, who has 49,000 followers on his Instagram page, and used the hashtag #maybellinepartner.
In a similar post, Taylor is seen applying make up to his face, neck and ears using a 4-in-1 makeup applier.
Again, the makeup brand tagged him in the post and used the hashtag #maybellinepartner.
One person commented on the post showing Vita applying the lipstick saying: 'Enough with these disturbing people's posts!!!'

Didn’t he play the skin flute on Flock of Seagulls?
Nope, nope, nope.
I don’t like men in makeup but if men want to wear makeup and still refer to themselves by the proper gender—male, then I’m pretty indifferent.
Truthfully, some of those men are better at makeup application than some women.
Just keep the kids out of it, don’t try and pressure me into accepting a man as a woman and after that I don’t care.
This isn’t the offense as is passing men off as women.
Blecccch!
Joe Rogan is correct about these people.
Maybelline makeup had helped me in getting my makeup routine down to just 4 minutes max. (My husband never has to sing “waitin on a woman”)
They have these liquid makeups in several shades with an applicator sponge on top. Apply, blend, mascara - out the door.
Now I’ve got to find a similar line of non-woke stuff.
Go woke, go broke, for real.
No. I don’t do Halloween. I don’t know what cosplay is. So, no. Never.
Maybe, if I’m feeling pretty.
Had to wear makeup for a school play decades ago. Hated it. I never wore it for Halloween (used masks, if anything), and don’t do cosplay.
The only concession I’m willing to make as I’m getting older is I’m contemplating a pedicure (harder for me to reach, for one thing). Some tell me you can get a script for it.
I have come to the conclusion, are large percentage of women are utterly stupid creatures.
I understand that sounds sexist, but all of this crap, ALL OF IT, when you dig into it, it’s women tolerating and promoting this idiocy.
I had to because I was interviewed repeatedly on the news.
Apparently normal people look like zombies if they don’t put on layers of goop, at least with the old style TV cameras.
But it was not voluntary.
And it did not involve lipstick or that kind of stuff.
Godless Reprobates are trying everything these days; especially since false prophet & Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama had the Rainbow White House June 26, 2015.
By their fruits 🍓🍑🍎🍏🍇 ye shall know them.
Literally.
Tagline.
Does Maybelline make a penis cream?
I cannot imagine a situation where makeup would cover up my natural beauty.
My daughter teaches in an “art camp”. This year she said that she had two 7th graders tell her they were trans.
She told them A. that having two trans kids in one class was as likely as hitting the lottery twice on the same day. And B, she didn’t care.
They were not pleased. I think they were used to getting more attention.
There's a long history of men wearing makeup, usually to appear scary (e.g., Indian war paint, the "blue men" of Britain, pirates, punk gangs). Richard Brookheiser wrote that men with unconventional hair styles are dangerous and scary, because it signals that the man is unbound by civilized norms (i.e., a barbarian).
Less often men have used makeup to prettify themselves (e.g., decadent aristocrats).
So a man in makeup is usually either a dangerous savage or an effete wuss.
Costume playacting. It's a thing at conventions, where people dress up as their favorite characters from Star Wars, Star Trek, or whatever film or TV show they like. Conventions even hold cosplay contests.
The medieval Renaissance Faire and Civil War reenactors would also qualify as cosplay.
Got it.
Dude. What were you doing at Maybelline?
