A lot of the makeup online at the moment is all about perfection and I don't think that's what makeup is about, I think it's about expressing your creativity.

For most of the summer of 2020 I didn't have a clue what I was going to do. I left Cereal Killer Cafe in June and having been a business owner I had lots of little skills in different areas, but there was nothing where I felt:"I am amazing at this, I can get a job doing it." And, because I was broke I had no opportunity to start a new business.The only good thing about hitting rock bottom is that you can start building your life up from scratch again and even invent a new one.

I'd already been doing elaborate makeup and costumes every Halloween for years. I would even start planning my Halloween costume as early as Easter. One year, I decided to dress up as Zoidberg from Futurama so I watched YouTube videos and taught myself how to do prosthetics. On a day to day basis, I would often put a makeup look on and then take it back ten steps before I left the house. Not because I would have faced hate, but I would always have somebody mention it.

Gary"Silver Rox" Keery began sharing his make-up looks on TikTok in 2020 after beginning professional makeup training.But during the first U.K. lockdown in 2020, I was on my own. It was just myself and my mannequin, Toofer. During that time, nobody's opinion mattered apart from my own. So I started creating more elaborate makeup looks and I felt amazing whenever I looked at myself in the mirror.

I went onto YouTube to find more masculine makeup for men, but all I could find was"no make up make up" which is trying to cover, conceal or bronze, or super feminine makeup on a man like you see on James Charles or Jeffree Starr, who I have nothing against. I think what they do is great. It wasn't that I wanted to make my face more masculine, but I wanted to take the femininity out of it. Something I've questioned is whether makeup itself is feminine? Or whether it's that we have all agreed that it is. If I take a pigment and put it around my eyes it's seen as feminine, but if I take a pigment and put it just above my eye it's more of a tattoo. Essentially both are just putting pigment on our skin.
