    Are there any circumstances under which it’s muttar for men to wear makeup? Consider the following situations: 1. You’re making a wedding and you have a black eye. All the photos could be Photoshopped (what about videos?) or you could wear makeup to cover the black eye.
    2. You’re running for president and you’re participating in a televised debate. You look more like Nixon than Kennedy.
    3. You’re a clown.
    4. You’re dressing up for Purim.

    Does a charedi soldier’s camouflage IDF face paint for protection reasons count as makeup?

    “clown makeup is fine tho as far as I know”

    Is that all the time, or only for special situations (e.g. Purim, employment requirement)?

    dovidBT- clown makeup means white face, etc. It doens’t mean foundation and lipstick. I don’t think anyone is planning on wearing clown makeup on a normal day to day event.
