What would a male need mascara for? Why is he using it? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 93/100. cream97 (8116)   ranked 2 out of 121 in beauty4 weeks ago

I noticed that when I would go into the freezer to get something out of there, my brother-in-law would have a tube of mascara sitting on the bottom shelf of the freezer. Tell me, what would he need mascara for. I know with us females, we use it on our eyelashes. When he uses it, he takes it in the bathroom with him. I have also seen it in his cosmetic bag as well. Why would a male need mascara? I am not trying to be rude, but I thought that mascara was only utilized by females only. Please someone, tell me something new. Am I missing something here? Enlighten me a bit...

Presumably you haven't noticed his eyelashes getting longer? If he is starting to get grey hair, he may be just covering it with mascara. Of course, what he does with it is really none of your business but, if you really feel the need to know why dont you just ask him?

I agree Wizzywig, he is probably touching gray in his hair. I used to use mascara to touch up my roots between colorings. Before I would be judgmental, especially about my own brother I would ask him. As long as he is not hurting anyone, let him live is my motto.

I have no real idea why a man would use mascara? I know some of the teenagers (male) will use mascara. Like the ones who dress Goth or Emo. Do you ever see him wearing the mascara? I am really concerned as to why he would be storing his mascara in the freezer. That is too weird. Freezing temperatures would ruin the consistentcy of the mascara. If you get a chance, ask him why there is mascara in the freezer? Then from there, you could ask him what he uses it for? I would also do some research to see if there is any way mascara can become a drug by being frozen.

Freezing mascara kills any bacteria that might be on the brush.

cream 97 did you not r emember how upset you were with him talking about belly fat, now turn that around,if he wanted you
to know what he was doing with mascara,do not you think he would have told you. maybe its a touch subject with him, and really it is none of your business anymore than your figure is any of his
business. Just because he is sort of kin does not give either of you the right to make cracks at each other. just let his mascara be if I were you. Now days men often use stuff we all thought was ours alone.


myLot reputation of 93/100. cream97 (8116)   ranked 2 out of 121 in beauty  4 weeks ago

Exactly my point. I am not making fun of him. He came and approach me about my belly fat. I am never going to do him the way that he has done me. I have not even used his real name. I am just asking a question about a male using mascara. He would feel bad if I asked him why is he wearing mascara. Then he would have felt what I felt. But, I am not childish to do that..


myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (20144)   ranked 92 out of 121 in beauty  4 weeks ago

good for you cream I did not mean to sound rude either, so I
do apologize if I did sound that way. probably he is a bit
like my happyhusband was with some grey in his hair,he would take
my mascara which I never used as my eyes are allergic to the
stuff, and hide gray hairs with it.he he I told him that
the gray in his hair really made him look disinguished and
that did it.He quit trying to cover them up. maybe your brother
in law is doing something similar. he he. happyhappy

Now I've never heard of putting mascara in the freezer. That just seems really odd as I've gone camping and it's gotten really cold and it's been near impossible to use it cold. I would understand if he was graying and wanted to cover it up. Beauty product makers like Avon make root touch up kits that wash out that look like mascara. Maybe gently bring it up? Or be like "does anyone know why there's mascara in the freezer?"

You need to ask him direct, if you want the right answer. I never heard of anything like this. Does he know that you are aware of it? Perhaps he likes to wear it in the closet, if you get my drift? Good luck finding out.

He's probably using it for the same reason women use it. Mascara defines your eyelashes and makes them look longer, and that makes a person look a little better whether they're a man or a woman.

I have this friend who has really dark and long eyelashes, and I sometimes wonder if he's wearing mascara or if they're naturally like that. I wonder this because if they're natural then I hate him - any woman would kill to have eyelashes like his. Whether they're natural or due to make-up, he looks really good and his eyelashes draw attention to his amazing blue eyes.

Lmfao. My friend is going to kill me for this one. The other day my friend called me up telling me that she didn't know where her mascara had been going. She says that all of a sudden she was running out way sooner than expected. So one day she asked her husband about it. He then replied asking if it was the stuff in the orange tube like thing with a round brush. She told him yeah. She said he turned red and then said that he thought she bought it for him to touch up his grays. I thought it was hilarious and could picture him in the mirror actually trying to do just that.=)
