I grew up in a house absolutely brimming with women. Even our pets wore pink and accessorized their cages. This meant that an unoccupied bathroom was rarer than a solar eclipse, the statement, "Don't borrow my stuff" was as effective as celebrity rehab, and unconcealed chocolate was often forcefully separated from rightful owners.
But there's a perk to living with makeup fiends: At any given time, there were at least four other makeup bags I could raid for supplies. 
And now it looks like I'm about to add another: Man makeup is on the rise! Or, as I'd like to officially name it, Mankeup.
And why shouldn't guyliner be the next logical step in a man-care morning routine that already includes shaving, exfoliating, and moisturizing (not including all the plucking he thinks you don't see)?
Chicas, I think if we all work together, we could accelerate this trend. Besides instantly doubling the number of makeup bags per household, it's always nice to know your fella could help you open that pickle jar, then touch up your chipped mani after.
For the man-icurist: If he's already getting his nails done, why not suggest a brawny shade of lacquer (Or, clear polish = the new starter shade for color-shy men)?
For the man-scaper: If he's trimming the eyebrows, snipping around the nostrils, or waxing his chest, perhaps offer him a nice bronzer or contouring shadow to really highlight his hard work?
For the man-keup artist: Is he really bold? Does he no longer scoff at Jared Leto or Pete Wentz? The best thing you can do here is help him find his colors, demonstrate the art of shadow blending, and show him how to really make those peepers pop. This man is ready to help us lead our beautiful (but tres manly) revolution.

I'm all for men wearing makeup.
There's actually a really great brand of matte nail polish geared toward men, called Manglaze
that I wear and love.
lol...nah. I'd be lucky if I can even get my mann to even shower at all (with SOAP!!!), wear deodorant, let alone maintain his eyebrows and keep those filthy fingernails clean and trimmed (I'd appreciate if he'd even exfoliate those blackheads!)! Make-up is a bit too much, I'm not the most beautiful woman, I wouldn't want my man to look more beautiful than me! Ugh, help please so I can make him a little more maintained? :D
Jerrod Blandino from Too Faced once told me about the term "man-kini line". love that.
Mammas, raise your boys right. Any woman who has just had a son or has one under 15, needs to start the grooming battle NOW! And I'm just talking about basic skincare -- basic by beautygeek standards: cleanser, exfoliant, moisturizer. I'm crying inside for Fabian :-(
