Too In Touch?

Remember 1995-7? You couldn't swing a cat without hitting some guy with a Blondissima-doused barnet. Suddenly, even the boys thought that being blonde was more fun.

And these days, every bachelor pad I visit has a medicine cabinet that seems to hold the entire SpaceNK collection. One friend even gets his moisturiser shipped in. From Australia.

There used to be a time when a girl had to lug her own supplies to her boyfriend’s. No longer. All the men I know have better beauty products than me. And I get mine free. Sure, Becks may have made a half head of highlights more acceptable, and back, crack and sack waxes are apparently de rigueur among the urban male, but I always presumed makeup would be the last frontier.

Seemingly not. Touch Éclat, YSL’s cult concealer/highlighting miracle cream – beloved by alcoholic whores everywhere – has come up with a male version, cunningly called ‘Touch Éclat for Men’.

Whatever’s next? Men menstruating?

Touche Éclat is available at Selfridges

So tired of feminized men... I want to be with someone who makes me feel a woman, not a lesbian.

  • The Experientialist: Carter and Bond

    {mosimage}

    Women-folk love to wax lyrical about their hairdressers, colourists, stylists, et cetera. For us chaps, however, with just the one scissor-wielder to choose for the whole lot the decision can be tougher. So The Experientialist took a spin in Carter and Bond’s barbers’ chair to test out their skills. Could this be The One?

  • Coiff It Up

    {mosimage}

    There’s nothing worse than coming out of the hairdressers and having your nearest and dearest ask whether ‘that’ is on purpose. Then again, it’s not terribly encouraging when nobody notices your new triple-figure do. So we’re going speakeasy with a new crop of secretive salons with star quality. ?
