Just when I thought the metro sexual trend was waning, Zac Efron shows up on the red carpet to promote his new movies Hairspray and High School Musical 2 wearing full on makeup. Foundation, blush, bronzer, lipstick, tons of "product" in his hair. I think he looks very plastic-y and (dare I say it?) creepy. WHY is he doing this when he's so cute without it? Anybody out there have a theory? I'm not against makeup on guys. Some wear it well, like Dave Navarro and Pete Wentz. I think there's a strong argument to be made for moisturizer, concealer, eyebrow grooming gel, bronzer, even oil-blotting paper. But in amounts that I wouldn't notice. But, jeez, Zac! As a general rule, you CANNOT wear more makeup than your girlfriend!So, what about YOU? How do you feel about guys wearing makeup? Would you out with one who did?

I don't care for Zac Efron in the first place and maybe he just wanted to look good for the cameras? He doesn't seem the type.

Not to mention that I don't consider makeup a part of being Metro Sexual.

i couldn't agree with you more christen... it's just weird! i would understand if it was a photo shoot...(still! i saw a guy with cherry red lipstick on in a picture and it was just so wrong!) but on the red carpet? i dunno... maybe his agent or stylist came up with the idea and he just went along with it... he is cute and he doesn't need make up at all...

If I was looking for a man I wouldn't target someone who wore makeup. I'd wonder about their personal life and why it was important. Now this is going to sound odd but I do like to see certain men with eyeliner. It highlights their eyes and brightens their faces. I'm a married woman with grown kids and grandkids but still love to look at a good looking male.

i agree about men wearing eyeliners... it's cool... they actually look good especially when Rock stars wear it such as Joel Madden, Billie Joe Armstrong and Chris Daughtry and also who Christen mentioned... Dave N. and Pete from FalloutBoy... it's funny how we used to laugh at 80's pop stars wearing make-up but look who set the trend way back then... (but their make-up were really funny before... i was just referring to the eyeliner thing) lol

I really don't like Zac Efron with make-up on. Well, I have seen a lot of guys using make-up. I do not like the idea of guys wearing that much make-up. If it's for photo ops, fine. Other than that, no way! I don't think I would ever go out with a guy who uses make-up more than I do.

I have a friend who is very vain. He always wants to look good all the time, whether we're at the cafeteria or the mall. He likes to put powder on his face and a touch of lip balm on his lips. He always tells us that he needs to put powder on his face so it wouldn't all be to oily. And he doesn't want his lips flaky so he has to apply lip balm on it.

I'm used to him being like that so it really doesn't bother me at all. Guys can wear make up if they really want to look good, especially on the camera, but too much make up would cause people to misconstrue your reasons on having make up all over your face. So, maybe a puff of foundation and a light colored lip balm wouldn't hurt.

I'm not a big makeup person, myself, but it can definitely accentuate a persons looks if used properly. I personally hate the painted look many women walk around with. There's so much powder on their face you can see it - and it just looks bad.

The point of makeup should be to highlight features. I find a good looking guy or girl wearing a little eyeliner, mascara, or eyeshadow to be very pleasing to the eye.

A little makeup on someone who can pull it off, whether male or female, is pretty hot. However, covering your entire face heavily in makeup is just gross, and, if anything, makes you look worse. I think the word I'm looking for here is balance. Balance is good.

I don't like when either gender wears too much make-up. I also don't like the "orange" look. I don't care if guys want to be groomed, look nice or even wear a little make-up, but sometimes it just looks bad. Product in the hair, highlights...whatever, none of that bothers me. I'd much rather date or be with a metro-sexual guy than someone who doesn't care about his appearance at all or dresses like a slob.

Dave Navarro rocks make up- he's a Sexy MF...anyone else not so much. I would never ever go out with a guy who wears make up. Though I do know some who can do make up and they are awesome!:)

wow that is a bit much isnt it?
i like eyeliner on guys, but they have to wear it well and know how to put it on. Some people it just looks terrible
Pete Wentz looks good on makeup, actually he looks better
Zac on the other hand... not so much.
Id go out witha guy who wore eyeliner, maybe mascara. But then again i like the girly boys so what can i say
