Sigh...tell me about it.  Honestly, guys...you don't want it.  Really you don't.

Osiris mate: will you upload a youtube video on how to apply faux ear hair? hehe :)

Personally I liked the appeal to evolution.  I'm trying to picture Darwin in eyeshadow now.

It's nothing new.

QuoteAschenbach sat there comfortably; he was incapable of objecting to the process—rather as it went forward it roused his hopes. He watched it in the mirror and saw his eyebrows grow more even and arching, the eyes gain in size and brilliance, by dint of a little application below the lids. A delicate carmine glowed on his cheeks where the skin had been so brown and leathery. The dry, anæmic lips grew full, they turned the color of ripe strawberries, the lines round eyes and mouth were treated with a facial cream and gave place to youthful bloom. It was a young man who looked back at him from the glass—Aschenbach's heart leaped at the sight. The artist in cosmetic at last professed himself satisfied...

It is not surprsing in my country. A poll survey showed that among 2,344 respondents, 105 men replied that they purchased mascara for men, 64% replied that they purchased cosmetics other than skin lotion, 20% purchased creams and powder for women. For mascara, they usually purchase transparent one.

If you worked for a makeup company like say Revlon, its not exactly rocket science to sit in a meeting and think - "Gee, half the people in the world are not in our target market, how could we change that."

I say whatever makes someone look better, just go for it! Some guys look hot with a lot of makeup on.
