I doubt I'll ever give up the mascara but I'm afraid I'm going to miss those rare occasions where I went all out with it and the feel of brushing powder against my cheeks and painting sugary gloss on my lips...

Am I alone in this?

I would rather eat a 9mm then put that crap on my face again. Could I be any more blunt. The only time I had it on was when my mom or sister forced me and only till I was big enough to stop them. However many men wear make up and it doesn't make them less of a man just confusing.

well i love makeup so ur not alone but maybe im just weird as u may think nero but ill still wear makeup maybe more so after i transition

i hated it.   only time i wore it is when one of my moms pushy bitchy friends made me wear it for a school dance.

I haven't ever owned any makeup except for costume purposes.  Well except for a breif time in middle school where tried to be more girly.

So no not going miss it.  I'll probably use make up about same amount after as before and thats just for costuming lol

To each there own. I never really wore it. I tried to be a girl for awhile and fit in while in high school, but I was just more unhappy. So it is not my thing and never plan to wear it again.

Eh. If you like it dude, keep on trucking. I'm not gonna knock you for it, nor see you as less of a man for it.

Personally though, no, I hate that shiz. I'm still trying to block out the times I was forced to wear it.

Nero, there's lots of guys that like wearing makeup.  Just look at the members of KISS.

I always hated wearing makeup, but I did love painting my nails, and I do it again now, from time to time. Now that I totally pass as a dude I don't worry about it much. But mascara and lip gloss... forget that. I only ever wore that stuff when I thought I had to because that was just "what girls do". But hey, to each his own, and I think no less of a guy who wears makeup than one who doesn't.

I still have never used it really... Aside from eyeliner...

I'd love to be schooled on it actually cause it would help D:

I have never used make-up. Ever. Yuk!

Nope.

Never knew what to do with it despite trying the tips in beauty mags (hey, I tried hard to be a girl; didn't work!).  Best day of my life was realizing I didn't have to even try any more.  Very liberating.

Nope, I'll leave it all to you, Nero. Like the other guys, the few times I was forced to wear it, either parents or peer pressure, are bad memories for me.

I don't know what your style is but a lot of punk/alternative guys wear makeup.  I've never been a fan of it.  I don't know what is what or what goes wear.  But i did wear it lastyear for halloween because i dressed up like a rockstar.  Thank god for girls though, or i wouldn't have known what to do with it lol

I love eyeliner, and a close second would be eyeshadow. My sister gave me these really cool shimmery powder eyeshadows that get all over everything but look really great. I'm saving them for after transition. I wear eyeliner now, 'cause lots of emoguys do it, but the powder would be too much. I went through a "girly" phase where I wore full makeup, like, every day, but I got tired of it pretty quick. I never liked smearing stuff on my lips, 'cause it's just gross, to me, or on me, and the pancake crap I used to wear I now use only in emergencies (like, skin emergencies where I need to cover up, which are rare). But since I have every intention of wearing eye-stuff after transition, I shan't miss using it. I look forward to it.

I love makeup, but I don't know how to apply it (except lipstick and gloss: easy), probably because nobody in my family wears any, except my sister wears it for dance shows.  I don't see why transition must stop anyone.  In fact, I don't I'll wear any until I look a little more masculine.

I never messed around with it so nope... like many guys i only wore it when forced to.

Sorry to Butt in here but i hate makeup and well i went the other direction. Then of course i live on a farm and drive a horse and buggy.

I've never worn make-up, so I'll never miss it either, just like most of the others.

I have on makeup rightnow, actually, to smooth out my skin tone. I think it makes me look good. Whenever I tell people I have it on, they don't believe me, so I don't have to worry about looking like a guy with makeup. I just look like a guy with slightly better skin than I actually have. I've also found if I use it everywhere but above my lip, my faint mustache looks darker. I might keep using it as I transition, but I'm not sure yet. I think I'll always like some makeup, especially eyeliner. I've always disliked lip stuff and mascara, but that's probably because my lips and eyelashes are pretty feminine already.
