He said male targeted make-up counters could be a reality in five to seven years.<\/p>\n<p>According to Sharma taboos are changing and make-up is becoming more accepted for men:<br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Today you have a very small proportion of men who want to use make-up products but that proportion is growing and it will continue to grow. I think it\u2019s just awareness &#8211; two things are happening, men know they can use make-up, and they know what it does when you use it,\u201d<\/em> he said. <em>&#8220;The second thing is that the taboos are going, so between my generation and my son&#8217;s generation the taboos are very different.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Last year 26-year-old beauty blogger, Gary Thompson, became the first man to star in a make-up advert.<\/p>\n<p>Featuring in L&#8217;Oreal&#8217;s True Match Foundation advert alongside celebrities including Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Gary talks about finally being true to himself and embracing who he is. At the time he said: <em>&#8220;I think we&#8217;ve come far with accepting men wearing make-up. If you look at it five years&#8217; ago, if you thought of men wearing make-up you&#8217;d think of extreme sparkly eyeshadow but today it doesn&#8217;t have to be like that. You could wear a good foundation, a good contour, a natural base and it doesn&#8217;t have to be extreme.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\nLet us know your thoughts on the growing male make-up trend by tweeting @Marbella_Rocks.<\/p>\n<h2><em><strong>FASHION NEWS<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<h3><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10704\" src=\"https:\/\/rocksmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FOR-HIM-MARBELLA-ROCKS-MAGAZINE-SEPTEMBER-2017-Craig-David-2.jpg\" alt=\"FOR-HIM-MARBELLA-ROCKS-MAGAZINE-SEPTEMBER-2017\" width=\"233\" height=\"131\" \/>CRAIG DAVID LAUNCHES FASHION LINE<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yep he can sing, write, perform (5 times in Marbella this summer) now the music impresario has launched a fashion collection at Selfridges.
