For example, your BF
if he does makeup every day, how is it?
If I like him in total including that, I wouldn't mind
If he has good color on the eye shadow, I'll want to ask what he's using
Hey guys and girls, it's Cathy Cat
This time we're going to go ask Japanese girls
what do they think about Japanese boys
doing their makeup. It's a new trend
Let's go find out. Don't forget, hit the subscribe button
and click on the notification bell for more information
so let's go and ask Japanese girls
I'm asking whether men's makeup is yes or no
Please vote first
Should I say yes?
Men's makeup? -Yes
Oh, yes
Yes. Ok
You said yes. Why?
If that person can get confidence by doing that makeup, I think it's no problem
What type of makeup is ok?
If that person likes it, anything
For Visual-K guys....maybe...
A bit scary
If that person is ok, it's ok
What part is scary?
They seem to have a strong personality
and their character looks pretty scary
It's discrimination but
I cannot get close to those people
Whatever that person likes, they should do it
If that doesn't bother anybody around them,
What makeup is ok, what is not?
I don't like really flashy ones
so I think natural ones are good
So for instance your BF
does makeup every day. How do you feel?
Well if I like him including all that, I wouldn't mind but
since I don't spend few hours doing my makeup
so I may feel the feminine side from him
Which mean you have to do better?
I will feel confused if he has more feminine side than I do
I would feel uneasy
I'd think
If he was better than I am, I would hope he does it for me
-Do my makeup? -yes
Why no?
I hope he stays natural
Natural makeup?
No thank you
Compete with your natural self
I like just the way he is..
Don't do makeup and stay clean would be enough for me
What if one day your BF starts doing makeup?
I'd ask "what happened?"
I'd say" are you ok?"
I'd stop him
I'd ask why but
if there is a deep meaning behind it
then I'd do nothing
I hope he doesn't, though
Being fashionable is not just for girls
I don't mind men doing it
I often see men using circle lens so
so I think it's no problem
If it looks well on him, it's ok
even if it doesn't, if he is ok with it, then it's good
If the guy is doing his best?
Yes
Will you put a limit on how much makeup is OK? Let's say Visual-K is too much or?
If the person is ok, it should be ok
If it is what he likes, I won't stop him
If the person enjoys it? -Yes
What if your BF does makeup?
Well, even if my BF does makeup
I think it's ok
I want to go buy makeup goods with him
I would like to learn with him
So kind. True if you go and buy with him
Yes, that way we can both understand each other
On a day when your BF has more flashy makeup than you. What then?
Since I originally don't do that much makeup
"Oh you have quite heavy makeup today"
That would be it
You mean my BF?
I wonder...let's say the eye shadow looked bright
I would ask what he was using
I wouldn't want to deny him
If it wasn't too heavy
and he's satisfied with it, it's ok
Natural makeup is ok?
Yes
How fashionable can I guy be?
If the ideal style has been met, anything is ok
How long does it take to do your makeup?
Me, 10 minutes
10 minutes?
You can do your face in 10 minutes? -Yes
Quite an expert
It takes me 1 hour
Foundation or just a bit of eye makeup is ok
Visual-K?
Visual-K is...a bit no thank you
Why yes?
Beautiful men are better
Good point, good point
How far is ok?
Up to women's level
If you don't make over
Make over with makeup.
If not a face lift
How about my makeup?
No problem
Wow
-Quite free? -Yes
If your partner
or your BF
What if he does makeup?
It's ok
No problem
at all
-and you? -No problem
What if he takes more time in bathroom than you?
It should be ok
So kind
No problem
I go to an art school so
and the boys around me do makeup as well so
There is nothing strange so it's ok
Self awareness on beauty is nice
Even flashy makeup for men is ok?
If not for daily makeup, it's ok
You like natural makeup?
Yes
maWhat if your BF's makeup is thicker than yours?
Oh in that case...
Why don't you make it thicker?
I'll try to align it
Do you know any guys around you who does makeup?
No there isn't but..
There are many people like that on YouTube so
So the dislike of that has decreased
More makeup guys on YouTube?
That makeup...I think you call it beauty YouTuber
There are many women who does that but
but there are some men who are getting popular with that
They do beautiful makeup so when I look at it
They do it very nicely so I want to get better
Makeup YouTuber. Do you remember the name?
Kondo Youji
He's a magazine model, probably
So the person on a magazine teaches you how to do makeup?
That's right. He just does foundation and stuff
I was quite amazed by him and
he looked cool
If he doesn't have a lot of small hair around his face
Beard?
Ah yes, if you are going to shave, shave and don't leave any
At least have some sense of fashion
even without makeup
That's important
Even if he doesn't have makeup on but is clean, then it's ok
What do you mean by "clean"?
Smell?
The artificial scent of mist or cologne is no problem
Also the masculine smell men have is also ok but
smell like they haven't taken a bath is not ok
Eyebrows
and beard
Trim the eyebrows and beard, and if you have dry skin, put some skin lotion on2
I don't think you need anything else
How should the eyebrows be?
Not too thin
and natural
Yes
If they were to compete on something other than makeup
What shoulde they compete in?
Hairstyle and clothes?
Circle lens, yes or no?
Circle lens...I don't want that
Better not
For me, it's cooking since I'm working in the food industry
so I hope they would shave their beard
I don't want them to look like someone who would be rejected by customers
That part is what I least expect from them
I don't think I like guys who are cooking with this much long beard
As a image it's not good
The bottom line is no beard
For me, no.
If at first sight if he looks clean, it's ok
For you,is beard ok?
If it matches his face, ok
Trimmed beard?
If trimmed, yes.
There are more men who is wearing makeup in Japan
What do you think?
What do you think the reason is?
Probably there are more hervibores?
You mean men are not interested in women?
Maybe that's it
They want to show themselves cute as possible
that is my guess
The cute type of boys are increasing so
Instead of the masculine type, those actors are increasing
It's that era?
I guess those type of pretty boys are increasing
Media effect?
I guess so
What if the BF says "Let's go out with no makeup on", what would you say?
That could be a problem
Not possible
I think one big reason is that SNS has widespread
On SNS, the thought that Visual-K men are cool has spread out and people mimic them
That may be the reason
They see Instagram and they think they would do it
I think a lot of the men just go on with the trend like that
I wonder, maybe it's that losing the men and women boundry and going genderless
making all equals as a movement
and that movement is starting gradually
That is all the questions. Thank you very much
And those were Japanese girl's opinions
