Cover Girl Models

Katcat1 — Wed, 01 Mar 2017 23:18:45 GMT

What is Cover Girl trying to prove? I noticed a commercial on TV with this unattractive model to find out it is a man dressed in drag. I personally don't want men wearing female makeup selling me products. Now I had a few very good gay men friends who sadly passed away so I am not homophobic. But men dressed as women with women's makeup on is going to far even for me.

I respectfully disagree.

They aren't selling to you, so don't worry about it.

Males have been wearing makeup for eons. Look around at different cultures around the world and there are many.

The male CG model is famous on YouTube for his make up tutorials.

KatCat 1 -- I agree with you. I don't want to see men wearing makeup selling it for women.

Oh please. African tribals have adorned themselves with makeup forever. King Tut wore malachite eyeliner. Japanese Kabuki actors are ALL men.

Are you talking about the model James Charles? Isn't he the controversial 17 year old known for his racist tweets?

@Katcat1 It is a whole new area of make up business for them....why not? Nothing new about men wearing make up in history. I guess you need to be a bit more accepting.

oh this is Cover Girl capitalizing....they see dollar signs...they are trend setters...I really don't care about people's sexual preference...I just don't have to accept men dressed as women who identify with being a woman who want to use the women's bathroom....really, I personally think Cover Girl isn't doing anything so unique...they are just taking advantage of a small population to get get rich off of them...3-5 years from now there will be an expose on how they were taken advantage of...don't mind me, I weep for the future...I am super negative today but at the moment I just feel like Cover Girl isn't doing anything so special

That's what companies do. Make money. That's why we have them. The companies I hold stock in had better be doing anything they can to make money.

Especially cracks me me up when people call companies in business to make money...greedy. They are not in business to give products away.

@NativeJax, the bathroom issue is not about men dressed as women.

@SeaMaiden, You might be interested in Caitlyn Jenner's makeup line but she is Trans Gender. You have your opinion and I have mine. I do not want a man dressed as a woman wearing women's makeup selling makeup to me and I won't be changing my mind or be accepting. Men on TV have to wear makeup for TV bright lights but they are not wearing lipstick mostly foundation and something on their eyes (that's a whole different subject).
