Cosmetics
The best cosmetic product is water. If you drink enough water, it will support your body's detoxification processes. No acne and similar fat deposits will be anywhere on your skin, no dryness, not even eye bags or dark circles around your eyes. The latter, though, is also related to your sleeping patterns and caffeine intake (which should be sporadic because of adrenal damage). Unfortunately, most people drink only 2-3 litres of water which is not enough for the human body, as we're not all the same size. 2 litres is only enough if you weigh 30kg/66lbs which is no adult unless they are dwarves, 3 litres is only enough if you weigh 45kg/100lbs which is not most adults definitely. Maybe some women weigh 45kg. I don't know. I'm not interested in female physiology. Some fire people are also careless and have issues with basic maintenance skills, especially if their earth attribute is weak. So, they need to force themselves to pay particular attention to their water intake (i.e. apps like Hydro Coach) and to their schedule/routine in general, if they want to accomplish anything remarkable in life instead of burning the candle quickly at both ends.
The quality of water is also important. Dry residue needs to be low, below 100mg. Preferably as low as possible. Hard water is not healthy. The higher dry residue is, the worst it will taste anything. Once they served me a Strathmore water bottle at a Wetherspoons. Dry residue was over 400... I wanted to send it back but I tried it out curiosity: it tasted like someone had spit into (the bottle was delivered closed of course, and is was a glass bottle so you can't tamper with it). Another important factor is the amount of calcium carbonate. The more it is, the more unhealthy the water is, leading to kidney stones over time. Not to mention, it's going to smell bad and taste bad, like most tap water in England. Water is supposed to be colourless, odourless and tasteless. If it's not, something is wrong.
Make-up
Make-up was worn by priests, Pharaohs, royals, nobles and any upper class individual in Ancient Egypt, both male and female. Regardless of personal taste (I, for one, don't like it), one cannot say it's not masculine to wear make-up in general. That would be insulting to our beloved Herr Hitler, who wore make-up too when he was Pharaoh Ramses II. Are you going to say he's not masculine? He was a trillion times more masculine than all neckbeards criticising make-up combined, and has accomplish a lot more than any of you will ever accomplish. In fact, I bet that any of this self-appointed critics never accomplished 0.0001% of what he is, regardless of whether we take into account only one of his lives or all his lives combined.
What's certain is that lounging around dressed like a drag queen is not only extremely retarded, but also an extreme example that doesn't apply to general talks about make-up. If you think about that when you consider men wearing make-up, then you're committing a logical fallacy and should think twice before partaking in this discussion. Learn logic first.
High Heels
I do agree with jrvan on this. To others who have mentioned high heels for horse-riding, I can only say that there is a difference between wearing something for a specific activity and wearing something on a daily basis. But I suppose most guys, especially the youngest generations won't understand that since they want wear pyjamas (literally) and underwear (i.e. t-shirts, hoodies and sleeveless shirts) all the time including for job interviews, in the office, and even at funerals and weddings. I had a flatmate who'd go out in PJ and sliders (with socks! :roll: ) to buy cigarettes and groceries, no matter the time of the day. One should realise that different occasions call for different level of formal/casual (dress code). This wanting to remove difference and make everything bland/the same... I know you know what social engineering programme it is part of.
In conclusion, my take is that high heels are only suited to specific activities, such as horse-riding. Definitely not formal occasions, or going on a city break. And they should not be worn for several hours at once, in order to avoid feet damage. Feet damage is not limited to pain. Pain is just your body telling you you've damage yourself. What damage it is? You'll find out. One thing about high-heels is that it's not uncommon for muscles in your entire posterior chain (from heel to hip on each side) to stiffen. If you feel pain just by pressing on your calves or thigh with a fingertip, your muscles are compromised and you need to either:
:arrow: stretch them thoroughly, preferably multiple times a day until there is no pain (and a few more days after that
+
:arrow: use a foam roller and a lacrosse ball for soft tissue massage (or even a massage gun, if you can afford it)
+
:arrow: inhale energy from your feet chakras, up the legs, then the main chakras and out the crown. Your focus area is obviously the posterior chain(s) I mentioned.
OR
:arrow: see a physiotherapist, which is the most costly option.

Spike heels are suited for nothing and only destroy your feet.
Clothes and colours
Let's make SS great again by abolishing lazy garments such as t-shirts, jeans, hoodies and sleeveless shirts, and also grey as colour. Let the NPC wear them.
Regarding pink and blue. Well, blue is mainly ruled by Venus, so obviously it's a feminine colour, not to mention it's a cold/yin colour in all its hues like Lunar Dance said. Some hues are ruled by Jupiter (royal blue), Mercury (navy blue) and Neptune (pastel/soft variations), but it doesn't change the fact it's a yin colour :lol:
Pink is made by mixing red with white, so it's neither masculine nor feminine. Or one could say it's both or more dominant in one side depending on whether red (yang/Mars/masculine) or white (yin/Moon/feminine) is used more in the mix.
Disclaimer: From now on, remember I'm only speaking about men's style, not women's.
Your hat, your belt and your shoes make the men. People in business and formal settings take notice of what you wear, as do many women and all observant people (like me). Personally, if I see a guy with dirty or otherwise poorly-maintained shoes, I won't give them the time of the day, unless it's strictly necessary to do so. It shows that they have a sloppy personality. Shoes need to be cleaned on a daily basis, otherwise the dirt accumulates and become difficult to remove. Dirty shoes are also not presentable. Just grab a brush and go under running water and brush. Poor personal maintenance level are a huge problem nowadays, and a symptom of immaturity (i.e. lack of awareness of Saturnine energies).
Hats are absolutely necessary when one goes outdoors. In winter, they protect against the cold and wind. In mid-season, they protect against the wind. In summer, they protect against the Sun. Indoors, hats are obviously useless and redundant. A man is expected to put on their hat when they go outdoors, and remove it indoors.
Belts are probably the most neglected item in modern times. I see many guys never wearing a belt. If your trousers have loopholes, you need to wear a belt. Plain and simple. Unless you're wearing a suit/slacks, then you can get away by wearing braces instead (depending on your taste). Tracksuit bottoms and sweat pants are only suited as sportswear and lounging around the house, so obviously they don't need belts. They don't even have loopholes to begin with!
Socks. I want to talk about this. What's up with this distasteful habit of wearing WHITE socks with non-sports clothes? It's an eyesore! I see the main culprits of this are Americans, British and German people. I haven't seen other cultures do it as much. Also, shorts don't go with long socks unless you're playing sports and you need the extra protection. Another eyesore. Shorts only go with ankle socks or no-show socks. Not to mention, they're generally more suited for hanging around water bodies such as rivers, lakes, the sea, the ocean... Socks absolutely don't go with sliders/slippers/flip-flops, and neither with sandals. Sandals also are unsightly if you are not at the beach... Sorry, Ancient Greece, but they just don't look good with modern clothes.
Cargos. They were invented for use in trade professions (i.e. electrician, plumber, mechanic...) and wildness expedition jobs because you need pockets to keep tools in. They are not meant to be worn casually in unrelated activities. Let's start wearing things for what they are for. You wouldn't use Isa for healing or for a freeing the soul working, would you? Would you use a Moon square to get a job in the military as a special forces operator? I doubt it.
Short-sleeved shirts. Just no. They look awful, not classy. A polo shirt, a henley shirt, etc, sure. Otherwise, rolling up your sleeves looks much better.
Yes, I am aware that, if you don't have astrological placements for style and beauty, you'll never understand what I am saying, o male reader. And I bet you're vehemently disagree in that case. Style and beauty are attributes of Venus, so it's normal for most me not to understand them, but one that is smart just studies the principles and applies them.
Lastly, I want to talk about fabrics. I'm absolutely against plastic nonsense like polyester. It's not suited for human skin contact. It usually comes from petrol. It was never tested extensively to determine it's safe. In fact, there are no longitudinal studies about this (neither biased nor unbiased), many people have allergic reactions to, and you are the guinea pig. In most cases, it's also HORRIBLE to the TOUCH, whether your sense of touch is particularly developed like mine or not. Sure, your polar fleece is comfy and useful when you're skiing/snowboarding or are otherwise out into the snow. Were a full-sleeved cotton or wool garment underneath so there is no skin contact.
If you want to "support the environment" or whatever environmentalist stuff, look for brands that sell ORGANIC natural fabrics (cotton, wool, linen, silk). If you buy a blend, make sure the natural part is at least 90%. Finally, for those who say poly-crap is good for sportswear because it's moisture/sweat-wicking and has other technologies that can be applied... Well, all those technologies can be applied to natural fabrics as well. In the Army, my uniform was 100% cotton. We walked in the mud and even swam in it. Nothing EVER bypassed it. When swimming and diving in it, the only part the mud would enter from would be the neck, of course. The uniform didn't let any water nor mud through. It would also dry reasonably fast even when sweating buckets in summer or because of heightened physical activity. So, yeah, you can do everything with natural fabrics. The issue is that the climate change retards are pushing unhealthy fabrics because of their nefarious plans, just like they push veganism, soylent, poo water and other nonsense.
