Guys Wear Makeup For A Week

[@JudyCZ]

"How do you know how to do this stuff?" "You don't, you look it up on KZbin." I would like to publicly appreciate how well Rachel represents women in the Try Guys videos. This was the most real answer she could have given.

I started wearing makeup before YT existed. I looked at magazine photos but it was hard to find to photos of women of color.

I’m a woman who doesn’t wear makeup, and it broke my heart to hear how the women in the office felt insecure about their natural, beautiful faces! It’d be interesting to flip the script and have them try not wearing any makeup for a week!

[@cmulliner8985]

Thanks for the comment, I was just about to wright a similar one. It's a difficult topic, beauty standards, selfcare, feeling pretty, being noticed or jugded... a lot of things play into the make up game

[@DeathlessOrchid]

Yeah, as someone who, when I do wear makeup, treats it more like art than any kind of "fixing" or "putting myself together", I can't help but be so angry at what the ridiculous standards society has set for people and the "natural look" school of thought behind makeup has done to people. No one should be ashamed of their real natural look, and calling the use of makeup a "natural look", setting it in comparison to the face one was born with, just worsens all of this. It's not even the look I have an issue with--it's the insinuation that that's what a "natural" face looks like.

[@at.myrthe]

Yeah I also don't wear makeup, and that's partly because I wouldn't want that to become my 'normal', like I would start thinking I don't look nice without it. I also have absolutely no clue how I would start, and don't feel like investing time/money in it when I feel perfectly fine without makeup in my life 🙃

[@l.e.v.2980]

I don't wear any make up either because I was asked a few times if I was sick on a few occasions I didn't put any on and I hated that. So I just stopped so that my "sick" look became normal to everyone and for special events when I put make up on, everyone compliments me on my look which I really enjoy! And watching this I am so glad I stopped because it reminds me that I'm saving so much time and money! But it is also sad to see that so many women don't like their actual faces anymore because the "natural" look has become the norm for them.

[@alexwyatt2911]

Jimmy talking about how to put on eyeliner on his Asian eyes is *SO FUCKING RELATABLE* bc SO many youtube tutorials I used to follow, the person did NOT have my eye shape and eyelids!!!

[@greenbeantm1096]

I had never thought about it for things like eyeliner before, just things that involve skin tone like contour. I also love how he started with “this is a very Asian question” idk why but that wording got a nice chuckle out of me

[@KelilaBennet]

I've got a mono lid... And a double as an Asian and I look at eyeliner tutorials and just decide it's not worth it.

[@charispeckxinhui3788]

Watch tutorials by Chinese beauty influencers. There’s a very different technique to eyeliners and eyeshadows for Asian monolids and the Chinese have really mastered it.

[@icymikachu]

Tbh all i do now is follow the (downward) line at the outer corner of my eye. There are tutorials now for cat eyes for asians, but i can't be bothered anymore 😂 for the other parts of my eyes, i also don't bother to put eyeliner anymore. It gets stretched and looks weird, the only way it looks okay is if i tightline which i don't like lol

Also true for eye make-up for hooded lids as well.

[@connie_83]

3:31 As an Asian woman, I CAN confirm that learning how to do eyeliner and eyeshadow on east asian eyes is a definite learning curve, ESPECIALLY when you have monolids, an eye shape portrayed as unideal in eastern culture (fewer videos except on ea specific platforms). I remember experimenting with it as a younger teen and being so frustrated since I couldn't follow the same tutorials as other western tutorials. After years of trial and error I finally figured out what works for me, and even still it's not the most practical lmfao

[@lillyblack5619]

Well, let me tell you I came to care about my make up when the tables had turned and the women having everyone on chokehold were asian. And believe me or not, for a while I lived the same reverse thing as you did. I was so frustrated when he asked how to apply makeup on his lids, because I can still present a whole ass PowerPoint on the subject ffs.

[@sisterkatiefran]

Zach, a thing to consider extra with makeup is doctors! As a fellow chronically ill/pained person I have to be careful about not putting makeup on to make sure that my pain is taken seriously cause with makeup on it immediately makes health care professionals and the world perceive you as “alive” and “awake” and “healthy.”

[@siobhan-rae]

this is so fucked. i’m sorry you have to deal with this shit.

[@jamie1602]

And it's such a double edged thing, too. Can't look too sick and can't look too healthy. If you're relying on disability, if you look "too sick" you get accusations that you're faking. Which is really dumb. Why would I maim myself? Why? How am I inflicting myself with those chronic NEUROLOGICAL illnesses on those papers that just happen to make my skin get crappy? Dunno but it keeps happening and I'm REALLY TIRED of doing my face on those days where it hurts to touch anything on me, just to satisfy these people that I'm a "good lil citizen". There is NO WINNING. Look too healthy, "nah you're fine".

[@OtherworldlyOdyssey]

Annoying but true. I learned very early on never to wear makeup on days I have doctor's appointments.

[@lynnstlaurent6789]

My chronic illness causes me to have red marks on my skin and makeup gives me hives so I rarely wear it. Maybe eyebrows and lipgloss. When I do I get the same comments as Zach.

[@fancydeer]

this. I go to the doctor looking the most raggedy and haggard I look in my life just incase I have a complaint, I want to be taken seriously. I'm young and I've always had weird stuff going on with me. Most doctors see a young person, or someone who is afab and dismiss you outright.

[@wateryourcermet]

Yes, and then you’re friends and family get mad because you agreed to dress casual and you wore a sundress instead of athleisure. But the thing is, if they wear leggings and a tshirt, it looks sporty and casual. If you wear it, it looks frumpy and like you’re out in your pajamas. You literally have to go a step above to look equivalent on the “put together” scale.

But I feel like they let a lot of the women talk about "Yeah, I don't like seeing my natural face, it feels incomplete, and I don't feel comfortable walking out of the house with no makeup" and just didn't super.... Talk about that? Question it?

[@wwaxwork]

What you are missing is the "armor" perspective. It's not you don't like your face, otherwise you'd wear makeup around the house too, it's that you feel vulnerable without your armor on in public. It's defensive. This is my outside dealing with other people persona.

[@Michelle-DiPalo]

That's honestly one of the reasons why I've personally never been a fan of makeup. I'll wear it for special occasions and just mascara and eyeliner for work stuff, but that's really it. When I was younger I asked a friend why she likes makeup and her response of "to make me prettier" never sat right with me, because I felt we should already feel pretty.

People get used to seeing you in makeup and thinking that’s your default, but if you never wear any to begin with then there won’t be comments of “you look tired” because people are just used to your face already.

[@Kiterpuss]

I never felt like I needed to until I cut my hair to a pixie. Suddenly it was a very distinct difference in skin tone because my hair had kept some of my neck from tanning as much as the rest. It evened out soon enough but I totally get the instinct for guys with short hair.

[@diediedice]

Sometimes I feel like my pale af complexion is a blessing in disguise lol. Never could find any kind of foundation that matched, so I've only ever been using concealer for my eyes

[@greenbeantm1096]

Nah just blend it a little bit down the neck and your good, especially if you have long hair

[@AnnieBananieGH]

They all did such a good job, and really made the makeup neutral. I love that men wearing a little color corrector or concealer is not as stigmatized today, and can not take away from one’s masculinity.

[@emmaprice3740]

As a woman who only wears makeup to things like weddings, I can’t help but wonder how much added stress most makeup wearing people add to their lives by losing 20-30 minutes a day because they don’t like how they look… It made me sad to hear some say that as their big reason for wearing makeup

[@lindsey6870]

You're being pretty condescending here. As much as everyone should love themselves unconditionally that just isn't the reality. For most people it's hard to love yourself all the time and it takes practise. It's the same as people choosing to cover their roots or wear certain styles of dress so they don't cling to the belly/boobs/butt or wherever. People have insecurities and if spending 20/30 mins every day putting on makeup helps them feel just a little better then so be it.

[@itsasarahh]

The best part of this video was Zach not caring about his carbon monoxide detector and Johnny talking about his ex😂 Boys I love y’all but you’re stressing me out

I hope this means we'll start seeing more of Jimmy, he is such an underrated guest, he's so wholesome and funny. Just adore him. This whole new era is really refreshing, I'm loving it 💜

I love that they've been bringing in friends for the videos and its not specifically the 3 guys. Gives them a break from constantly being in videos lol

[@ivyarianrhod]

They've had to, with Eugene being so busy, and Keith traveling so much...

[@Beefareeno]

Honestly, Zach putting on sunscreen in the morning is 100% impressive.

[@cassidythecat]

I always find it funny that people put on sunscreen for the sole purpose of not having wrinkles when they get older. Like I get it, the sun can cause you to age faster but it can also give you skin cancer??? That's what I'm most concerned about when I get sunburns, and it's interesting that no one brings that up. My ancestors are mainly Irish and German/Polish and I don't have the luxury of tanning 🥲.

[@themaddiemads]

Kudos to the guys for committing to it, I think they all did a great job! I personally find the process of applying makeup super relaxing, and fun, but feeling pressured to wear it never feels good.

[@KxNOxUTA]

Jup, crucial difference, really. I personally resist the pressure (Im unwilling to give external anything that much power over my internal wellbeing) but will occasionally enjoy it like an artsy-thing or relaxation-thing (best with friends n someone else applying it for me).

I love hearing from the try staff, especially in these “men experience things traditionally applied to women”. It’s just so relatable and almost heartwarming Also (edit) I also absolutely feel lazy and like I’m being perceived differently without makeup. It’s gotten better as I’ve gotten older, but as a teenager I hated going out without makeup

[@nisabizahaloni101]

As someone who doesn't wear makeup and also someone who does not care for it- I have to admit, this gave me a different take on it. Plus Zach's pure enjoyment at the makeup bag and offering it to Nick to use was adorable.

[@TangentialTif]

I am a woman but I am also Zach. I don’t wear make up because I’m lazy. I’m sure I could look better with make up but I just really can’t be bothered. My profession doesn’t require me to be made up, so 🤷‍♀️ I’m going to get 15-30 minutes extra sleep in the morning and also be able to leave the house with minimal effort.

[@starchb0mb]

I am a woman and also Zach, too. I'm too lazy to put on makeup, but I also have all the chronic illnesses and makeup actually irritates my skin, and I wouldn't have enough spoons to put it on regularly anyway. It's also just SO EXPENSIVE; I'd rather use the money for something else. Like paying for my expensive-ass meds, or taking care of my animals.

[@mariee.5912]

Agree. 😅

[@Ailieorz]

[@teddycat2000]

I used to do my makeup every morning to cover up high pigmentation from when my acne was super bad. But then covid hit, and the only people who saw my face were the people I lived with, so I just stopped doing it and never got back into it. Will probably start doing it again when I go back to work (but also having a powder foundation for daily wear and liquid foundation for proper nice makeup is an absolute lifesaver)

[@PinkFlaminglow]

Could we please get a part two to this, in which the guys do their makeup full glam?

I love Johnny's realisation at 15:17 because It's so true! Over the last 2 or 3 years I tried to give up wearing make up every day by changing my routine every few months and doing less and less each time. I slowly had to learn that no one cares 😂 best thing I ever did for myself

I’m dying watching this. It takes me about an hour to two hours depending on the complexity of my eye makeup (training to be a makeup artist) so it cracks me up seeing you guys try makeup 😂 I just had to watch this. Yeah she’s right, 20 minutes is fast for a daily makeup routine! I think it’s good for guys to understand the reasons why a lot of us wear makeup and touching on the insecurities we try to hide. Luckily as a makeup artist to be, I’ve been able to realize that I only want to wear makeup to make myself happy. Not my husband or anyone else. But for a long time, it was a way to hide my insecurities and it felt like a chore. Now it’s an art form for me, it’s about showing my creativity and expressing myself as well as enhancing my natural beauty, I just wish I realized that as a teenager! Anyways, you guys did a good job!

[@qehls]

blue mascara looks so good on johnny! never thought it'll look good on anyone

[@Libbathegreat]

Yep and also wearing make-up everyday is _really_ bad for your skin, it ages you

[@jk7713]

There is no such thing as a ‘cis’ woman. It’s not a medical term. You are either a woman or a trans woman. Stop making up words to describe just a real, normal, natural woman 🙄

[@hhmmhmhm5743]

I'm someone who doesn't wear makeup. My acne, pores, and eye bags are on full display. I get told constantly that I look younger than I am just because of not looking "put together" like an adult apparently would be. We've definitely come a long way in this area, but it is still considered the standard for women not to be seen in society without a full face of makeup on.

[@taradreams3]

Haha, I get the same kinds of comments. My family jokes that I look like a 12 year old and I'm 33. Maybe eventually when I start getting wrinkles I will start wearing some makeup. But not today

It’s strange how wearing makeup can make you look mature sometimes instead of being youthful.most ppl use makeup to look younger, but somehow they look much more older

[@justinejulia6873]

Honestly loved watching this! As a nonbinary person I definitely have a complicated relationship with makeup. I hardly wear my makeup anymore because it felt too much like performing “girl” but I do love playing with makeup. I am starting to get to a place of acceptance with my gender and working to tear down the judgements I place on things like clothes and makeup. For everyone else I confidently state that nothing like clothes, makeup, or activities are gendered, but for myself it always felt like a road block.

[@Palitato]

Yeah, the only time I mess with makeup at all is when I'm going to an event of some kind... I'll pop a little eyeliner on and maybe a little foundation just to even things out. The only time I do a full face of makeup is when I go to a convention and have a cosplay that needs a full look, then I go all out. My day to day though, I rarely even do a full wash of my face. My skin is SO touchy, I've learned it's best to just leave it alone most of the time and let it do it's own thing. The moment I start washing it and messing with it, I break out like crazy.

[@greenbeantm1096]

It was great seeing so many of the staff sharing their perspectives on why they wear makeup and how they feel about it!
