Boy teenager wanting to wear make up

Just want to find out from anyone else with a boy teenager wanting to wear make up.
It started with foundation, concealer which is fine to hide spots.. but now moving to eye shadow and nail varnish.
Why? and what shall I do?

Gosh in the 80s this was nothing was it. Grin
Tom Ford has just brought out a lovely make up range for men!

Maybe give him some pointers if he's not very good at applying it? I know my first attempts with foundation were bloody awful, think orange mask Grin.

Also, if he's using foundation and concealer to cover spots, there are formulations that won't clog his pores, otherwise he'll make the problem worse.

i don't think it's a cause for concern otherwise.

Get him some good skin care stuff for xmas so his skin is in good condition to wear it. Nothing worse than claggy caked on makeup.

Seriously though, Just be cool with it.

Make sure he removes it properly every night and uses a good moisturiser. Also if he's old enough book him in for a make-up lesson so he learns how to apply it properly for the best results.
