Why does Prince wear makeup....

and so much of it? He is delicious without it, but I believe he's been sporting pancake foundation and eyeliner since Dirty Mind or thereabouts.

According to Carmen Electra, he sleeps with it on as well.

What gives? And don't just reply with "Oh, he's eccentric."

Thank you very much. wink
Come here, babe.. yeah...

As a woman that wears make-up, I can honestly say I doubt that. His skin would be seriously fucked up, if he were not removing his make-up and removing it properly.

As for why he wears it, well that's something he "stole" from Little Richard (right Synthia? wink )

Excuse me, but Prince wears a lot of pancake makeup, not just regular makeup... which is understandable when you're on stage, but he ain't living his life on stage (except figuratively).

Plus, I can't think of any other woman star who ever wore as much as he does over so long a period of time.

As for the Little Richard comment... well, he is "fancy free" and that is where the explanation begins and ends.
Come here, babe.. yeah...

People man and women just look better with some makeup. It covers up imperfectinons and I'm sure Prince noticed that eyeliner really opens up people's eyes and makes them look bigger so I'm sure he realised eyeliner was need for that full effect 'Prince look". lol

Why does he were make-up, you ask??

-Cause it's one of his trademarks just like the fancy clothes
and luscious hair.

-Cause it looks good on him (especially the eyeliner-that looks
good on everyone)

-Cause it helps him maintain that "Damn! Does Prince ever age?" reaction
If you will, so will I

lol We actually talked about celebrity makeup habits -including Prince's -today in school! Talk about a coincidence...

It's pretty rare to find a pic of Prince post-1980 without some form of makeup on. Even in the "candid" paparazzi shots that pop up from time to time, he's got at least eyeliner or lip gloss on. Most celebs don't do the pancake look for everyday like he seems to.

My teacher said that constant use of heavy makeup is a sign of low self-esteem. neutral

About the same for me. I own makeup so I can play with it when I've got some free time or want to try out a look I see somewhere. Most days I don't bother wearing any at all though.

I did wear mascara today though, because I'd bought a new one and wanted to see how it heldup under 40 degree (celsius) heat. Not well, as it turns out.

Hmmm. I thought even special products that are designed for people with allergies or sore eyes won't go beyond 38.5 degrees so no wonder.

.... Uhmmm... yes, everybody - I'm a man. Sod off. I like girls' stuff too. I have close female friends. Sod off. smile
