According to JWT’s new “State of Men” report, guys -- Gen Y guys in particular, are so comfortable with their masculinity, and so insecure about their looks that they too are turning to makeup to enhance themselves. (Moses, 2013)
Skin care is
a no brainer, as Dove realized when they launched their very successful Dove
Men+Care line in 2010, with 60% of Gen Y men agreeing that it was acceptable
for men to use skincare products. But
18% of them also say it’s acceptable to use foundation makeup, 14% are ok with
nail polish and 12% have eyeliner in their medicine cabinets. (Berelowitz & Ayala, 2013)
So what do
you think? Is it time for Maybelline to
reach out to men?
