MEN’S CORNER

Blokes’ ten pros & cons

Or what men (really)
think of women’s make-up.

  1. down The gloss-glue that sticks to them when they are kissed (horrible taste, especially if it’s strawberry).
  2. up 30cm eyelashes, because they say a lot about a woman’s sensuality.
  3. down Coats and under-coats of foundation: no, wall paint has never made a man dream.
  4. down Getting up discreetly at 4 o’clock in the morning to put a face on. Going back to bed immediately afterwards.
  5. no change Lipstick. Men adore it on women. Much less on their shirt collars.
  6. down Drawing an eyeliner line as per Cleopatra, queen of the cheap.
  7. up Coal-like eyes. Nothing like them for lighting (or re-lighting) the flame.
  8. up Men say yes to glitter (on the eyes, the cheeks, the shoulders). Because they want a woman who shines by her intelligence, but not by that alone.
  9. down An overdose of self-tanning: that reminds your man that he doesn’t have the means for taking you to the Bahamas for Christmas.
  10. up No-make up, because for many men, tiny imperfections make great beauties.
