Whoever said makeup "is for women only" was wrong because there are men who wear makeup and look so good with it.
They have proven that anyone can wear make-up, men or women, and definitely, know how to colour slay.
Here are our top six men who wear make-up with pride:
Somizi Mhlongo (
Media personality and choreographer, Somizi Mhlongo is the first man in Africa to be the face of a make-up brand, Black Opel.
The Idols judge enjoys pulling off dramatic looks. We love his choice of nails, always short and nicely painted.
