Sethie, oh that sucks :( I've heard before that red is *the* hardest colour to remove from your hair.
I'm brunette (sort of a dark ash brown before I starting getting so many greys!) and I could never lighten my hair to blonde, it always stuck at ginger. And when I dyed my hair reddish-browns I was always eventually left with just reddishness when the dark tones washed out.

But the Green Day eyeliner sounds kinda cool. I'm no good at eyeliner. Never understood how some people get it so right. Wobble, smudge, uneven, slight ECG look to mine. Then panda eye within an hour :)

I'm adding to my previous response to the question because I forgot...
Makeup makes me look younger though I don't necessarily feel younger.

It makes me feel more presentable. But I do feel conflicted when I am trying to look masculine because something in me still says "this is girly" - yup as ever the contradiction between what I think when others do something and what I feel when I do it. But then again I think I look more like a cute boy with a bit of foundation and less redness. I flush a lot (with possible a bit of rosacea too, GP thought) and that makes me feel like an obvious woman, bright red cheeks. Or if it's particularly bad, not even a woman but a beetroot with eyes drawn on it ;)

I think I feel less man-like, but more cute-boyish which I'll take because I think I can pull it off better.

Have you ever regularly worn makeup?
I used to wear dark eyeliner every day but as soon as I got my hair cut short I stopped feeling like I needed it. I think it was a kind of comfort blanket for me.

If so, do you still wear it?  Why?
Nope.

Do you feel less masculine wearing makeup?  More masculine?
Less masculine.

Do you feel younger when you wear makeup?  Older?
N/A

Do you feel that men that wear makeup are somehow "less masculine?'  Why?
I think that the men that do wear makeup stereotypically are more feminine. They don't tend to be the very butch, studly gym-goers for the most part. I know some guys wear foundation to cover blemishes and stuff or fill in their eyebrows but wouldn't consider that to be the same thing as wearing eyeshadow and lipstick and things that make it very apparent that they're wearing makeup. There's nothing wrong with a guy being less masculine or wearing makeup though, people can do whatever they want and wear whatever they want.
