Are they being old fashioned ?

I personally think its fine for a guy to use a dab of concealer on a blemish or perhaps a little under the eyes.. its not typical for guys to do so, which is probably why the parents don't like it.... but who cares. Does it really matter? if the boy was putting make up all over his face that'd be a different story....but a little concealer to cover up a problem area isn't a big deal in my opinion
