Do cosmetics maketh the metrosexual man?

Man, I wish these guys would learn English. "Do" takes the infinitive form of the verb, ie., "make". Besides, "Do" isn't either third person plural or singular ("cosmetics" could be either singular or plural) and "maketh" is third person singular present tense.

I've never seen the archaic "maketh" in the slang term "make the man" before. I think the original was "Clothes make the man", so "Do clothes make the man(?)" should be OK(sl.)
