Oh, well. Who cares?

I like watching men put makeup on. So sue me. I know, I know, you don't wear make up, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. You're low-key masculine and you barely use hand soap to wash your face. Kreegah Bundolo, Edgar! But the thing is, many men do. Like our guide today says, he just wants to change his face today. And he does.

And I'm here for it. I think the gender limitations imposed on make up is something we can do without. The idea that make up is artifice and on top of that, a female prerogative and duty is plain ridiculous. And it stinks of the patriarchy. I'm here for anything and everything that squashes it. Hasn't it always been the duty of the male of the species to be beautiful and court his mate by dazzling him? Look at a peacock and then come back to me.

I see make up as therapy. It relaxes me. When I find myself in times of trouble make up tutorials come to me. I find that the men who put on make up online for their enjoyment and our education is one of the things that soothes me. I zone out when I'm watching a video like this. It's like letting someone tell you a story while you're going about with your routine. I also think that I learn things when I watch these videos. They're like little tutorials on color theory and human nature. These make up artists are low key Discovery Channel instructors.

Not to mention that it is fun to watch obviously attractive men goof it up while progressively looking prettier and prettier. These vloggers are undeniably personable and entertaining and know what they're doing. They make little jokes and are a little self-deprecating and clown it up because they basically can. They also obviously put a lot of thought in their videos. The editing, the little touches that make the videos, well, unique. All of that can be appreciated, too.
