I am 41, and all male through and through.
I am very much part of the "natural look" generation, and having said that, i grew up with Gf's and a Mother that delighted in pastering themselves with the stuff.
My mother was a manager at CLINIQUE headquarters in Sydney, so she always had a huge stockpile in the top of the wardrobe, as well as other brands which other compnay consultatants would bareter with each other. My sister and her friends were always raiding Mum's bedroom wardrobe!
I always got a kiss on the cheek from Aunties which meant a huge impregnation of heavy pink or red lips.
It was always a turn off for me getting with a girl who was wearing lipstick as the taste was just to waxy.
It also annoyed me upon venturing out how I had to wait an extra hour for my partner/s to finish with their make up.
I am now involved with a partner is is a very naturally artistic type form Seoul, and I am happy to say that she is not into make up and having long wet kisses just make it all the merrier, even though I now have to contend with the tatse of Kim Chi!
My culture was definitely a macho man's one, the men were men, they were tough, and the women were delicate and beautiful creatures. Make up was definitely a women's thing.
Still, a guy that wears make up doesn't hurt my feelings, and all the best to him if that is what he likes.
