Gareth Pugh says men wearing cosmetics should no longer be a "taboo."
The
British designer, who will soon launch a make-up collaboration with
MAC, has been discussing his beauty habits with The Guardian.
Pugh
has been using cosmetics since his teenage years, and explains his
daily regime typically involves foundation, powder and eyeliner. He
thinks more gentlemen should be proud to follow a cosmetics regime.
"Sadly,
men wearing make-up will always be seen as taboo. But it's something I
believe in; you never get younger, so you have to make the most of what
you've got," he told the publication.
His remarks echo those of
designer Tom Ford, who claimed earlier this month that people would be
"surprised" by the number of men who secretly wear cosmetics.
These
comments follow a recent rise in male beauty products. Although a male
version of Yves Saint Laurent's Touch Eclat concealer has been available
since 2008, the latest products available show males are becoming more
experimental.
British brand Eylure is now selling false eyelashes
for men, which have been designed for "discreet wear." They are
available for sales worldwide at www.feelunique.com.
American
company EVOLUTIONMAN, has also recently introduced a series of nail
paints and varnishes specifically for guys in masculine-sounding shades
such as Pavement, Alter Ego, and Stand Out.
The MAC & Gareth
Pugh collaboration will hit US stores on November 23 for one month
before its international launch in December 2011. It includes nail
lacquers (£15), eye shadows (£20), lipsticks and glosses (£14) and
high-fashion angular fake lashes, inspired by Pugh's runway show,
retailing for £12.
