Do you personally know any straight male makeup artists?

Makeup as in prosthetic and movie makeup, yes. Makeup as in regular makeup for going out and looking pretty, no. I don't know many makeup (just for looking pretty) artists who are men. I know one salon guy who's gay. The rest are women.

I've known several "effects" type guys who are straight. Your Rick Baker or Westmore types. I'm sort of interested in it (to a small degree) myself... mold making, character design, that sort of thing. It's a very small group of people at all, and a very tiny group of guys in that small group. Maybe two guys. Both straight.

Ages ago, I knew a guy who was terrified of being outed as straight, because that would ruin his career. No women would trust a straight guy touching them to fix fabric or hair without them thinking it was a perverted grope. We haven't kept in touch, as I got out of the business soon after. so I don't really count him.

When I was doing video production, 2/3 of the makeup artists were women, and almost all of the rest were gay men. However, special effects makeup (masks, bullet wounds, appliances, etc.) is almost exclusively straight men.

I mistakenly voted yes, sorry! by the way although I don't personally know any, I have seen them putting makeup on people... just not themselves.

Excluding my boyfriend who I occasionally get to do my make up for business reasons, no lol.

Also he's not very good. Don't hire him.

I don't know any makeup artists, but when I went to Cos school, I was in class with two straight males learning to do hair.

Actor Jeremy Renner was a makeup artist

If they're straight then they're lying.

[Prof_Don]

U sure? Imagine the amount of women this [straight] guy can get exposed to! ;-)

[BoySittingOnTheMoon]

Then these women are into dysfunctional men.

[Prof_Don]

What is so dysfunctional about a man wanting to do art on a woman's face with makeup?

[BoySittingOnTheMoon]

Can you imagine in a Stone Age Period men doing make up on women? We wouldn't survive this long if it wasn't for men being men and women being women.
