if they're straight, it depends why they wear it and what type of makeup it is. if it's for their job (actually lots of jobs require makeup for men at times. if you're a news anchor, on tv at all, an actor, model, a singer, sometimes streamers/youtubers, some luxury store or high end hotel employees, porn actors, etc) i think nothing of it all. their level of masculinity isn't put in question by me. if it's for style/personal expression, it depends if it falls in what could be considered masculine or not. some people might feel like any makeup as part of let's say an alt style on a guy is gay. I don't think so and I don't think most people at least think that. Like if he's goth, punk, emo, alt, that sort of thing, I don't think anything of it either. his masculinity isn't less to me. now if he doesn't look dark/edgy alt, it starts to look feminine potentially. if a straight guy has like yellow eyeshadow for ex, i'd think he's original or quirky, but i wouldn't be attracted to him. it looks too gay. If he doesn't wear makeup for work or for style, but lets say because he's insecure, like for ex he has bad acne (actually knew a straight guy in high school like this) i wouldn't judge him. I wouldn't think he's effeminate, i'd just think he's a 'homme coquet'.
for gay guys couldn't care less. they can look like drag queens i wouldn't judge them.
Well, I don’t know if the two can even be compared. Men who wear makeup for whatever reason, I think is fine—doesn’t faze me at all. More power to them. Trump, on the other hand (pun intended) has applied makeup his entire life like some kind of blind abstract artist, haphazardly and without any discernible skill or technique. He has shown up in a shockingly wide variety of bad looking states, with some crazy and obvious applications. You’d think that fool would pay to have it professionally applied, whereas it enhances his look and doesn’t detract like it always does, especially since he is so notoriously vain and shallow. He always, always has the wrong color and never blends it, and it always looks clownish and silly. He has got it in his demented head that orange is his color or somehow it conveys health and vitality akin to a suntan, but the rest of his bloated weather-beaten ghastly white carcass always betrays him.
ROFL, tRump doesn't use makeup so much as he trowels on a bucket of orange joint compound with the skill of a drunken construction worker. That is just epically hilarious.
But men using makeup in general? I have never known any man who wears makeup. It would be weird for me to see any guy out and about with makeup on. Is that societal conditioning, "makeup is for girls"? Probably in part.
But I think it's also uncool for a man to be obsessed over his appearance to the point of using makeup. Real men just don't care about their looks, LOL. Scars are makeup for men. Tattoos (self mutilation) are acceptable makeup for attention seeking men.
Well, a public figure, sure. They all do that. You'd have to go against the advice of hundreds of people by the end of a year of not wearing makeup. Honestly, I'm not sure how you'd end up on TV on a regular basis without at least getting some powder for getting the shine off your skin. It's like one of those cardinal rules you (a worker on the set, maybe not the talant) could instantly get blackballed for not following.
In public normally?
It's not exactly my thing but I don't know how much it says about the guy. You kinda see a lot of it in nyc even in a place like in the financial districy if you really look at some dudes good.
Gay in most cases. In Trump's case, he's definitely not gay, but it looks terrible on him and I don't know why he does it. Men should not use fakeup. And neither should women. I wish fakeup was banned entirely and people were comfortable presenting themselves naturally.
They're in the public eye like news casters or of course politicians like Trump. They want to look good on camera or on stage. Men don't use makeup for anything else but that. Most women don't use makeup either or not much of it probably because of the price of the stuff. That or for fear men will think they're wearing it because they're actually ugly witch is sometimes certainly the case.
I think if you're a public figure, it can make sense to use some makeup for the camera. but otherwise I don't see a point generally speaking. It's literally the equivalent of men putting bunched up tennis socks in their pants. It's lying about your physical assets.
There's a huge difference between make up applied to help with studio lighting but Trump just looks like a drag queen. No one else TV does the orange look, and why does he need it outside. My guess is it's more of a fetish thing than for the cameras
I think make up is unnecessary on anyone. It shows a mindset of "I do not believe I am attractive so must change myself for other's to believe I am more attractive". That is a sign of vanity and not appealing to me.
Make up on guys is a no but in Trump’s case he does it for TV. Remember he starred in a hit TV series and was even in some movies so this is normal for him. It doesn’t bother one iota me because he is doing incredible things for the nation.
Men who wears make up aren't real men in my opinion, now about Trump i don't know if he's using a make up but even if he is, then it's for medical purposes i think, he keeps his manly look unlike the ones who wear make up to look like women...

It looks like JD Vance wears eyeliner. I’m not 100 percent sure if he actually uses eyeliner but to me it looks like he does.

Makeup tends to make everyone look better, unless it's applied inappropriately, but on Trump it was horrible. I'm glad to see he seems to have toned things down. It makes him look less crazy. Not that he really is less crazy unfortunately.
@zagor The only bigger issue I could find is His take on Palestine and the genocide of Palestinians there. Shameful, but He is still making America great again, so as an American, I would excuse this particular issue. As a Polish man, if He collapses the EU, I will be willing to stress that issue less, either.
