The Men Pen: Concealer for Guys?
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of The Men Pen. All opinions are 100% mine.
In the past, mens cosmetics fell into two different categories. The Halloween category, full of pastes and pancake makeup for ghoulish looks, was the first category. Medical makeup for men with disfiguring burns was the second category. For the most part, guys accepted blemishes or scars just as a part of life.
Now, there is the Men Pen. Sure, it’s a concealer without a pink tube, but is the average guy going to go with it? This sort of mens makeup has been used for years on the stage and in film, but I still wonder if it will truly catch on. To my surprise, there were more comments that seemed to be from average guys, rather than only guys that were models or were into the club scene. There was a Gent named John who uses it to cover up a big scar on his face he has had since he was a kid.
One Gent named Kyle said: I discovered The Men Pen works great for covering Tatoo’s (sic) I have a tatoo (sic) on my arm and It can’t be seen at work. I can actually hide it using The Men Pen. Thanks much. At $17.95, I guess it is a BIT more economical than tattoo laser removal. I wonder if it is a similar item to what was used to cover up Angelina Jolie’s many tattoos for the Tomb Raider movies. One Gent, Kevin, commented that he ran out after a year. Maybe guys should take a cue from ladies and dispose of it every six months, and get a new one at that time, because of bacteria. He probably will find he has to cover up acne less using a clean Men Pen. Just a thought.
What are your thoughts on products such as the Men Pen? Do you think that its something that works for a niche, or do you think it is going to catch on? Some people believe that something like this is just a “gateway” and a slippery slope to men wearing a complete foundation application and curling their eyelashes. I don’t really think that’s the case. I am also wondering if this isn’t just the same makeup that is made for ladies, just in a tube that is a bit more manly? What are your thoughts? Currently, I don’t know of any men who use products like this, but maybe that’s the point…I can’t tell.
