雙語:英國300萬男人每天使用女性化妝品
The UK's Daily Express reported on September 25 that a new study has revealed more than three million men in the UK have confessed to wearing make-up。
據英國《每日快報》9月25日報道，一項最新調查發現，300多萬英國男人坦言使用女性化妝品。
The study made by Opinium Research, found that one in seven men -- self confessed " metrosexuals" -- use a variety of female cosmetics such as eyeliner, nail varnish and anti-ageing creams。
由英國Opinuim市場調研公司完成的調查發現，1/7的英國男人自認爲是“都市美男”，經常使用各種女用美容產品，如眼線、指甲油和抗衰老面霜等。
More than one in four of those who wear make-up claim they do so at least once a week -- the same number who say they would not feel comfortable going to a pub without any on, showed the study。
調查顯示，在愛塗脂抹粉的英國男士中，超過25%的人表示，每週至少化妝一次。同樣比例的英國男士表示，不化妝就貿然去酒吧與朋友聚會，會讓自己感覺渾身難受。.
The study also found that more than a third of those wearing make-up borrow cosmetics from their wives or girlfriends -- with 40 percent of the women helping them to put it on。
另外，調查還顯示，1/3的化妝男士喜歡借用妻子或女友的化妝品，而40%的女性樂意幫這些男士化妝。
The most popular products for men are hair dye, eye creams, anti-ageing products, eyeliner and fake tan. But they also admit to using concealer, face powder, nail varnish, lipstick and mascara。
最熱門的男性產品有染髮劑、眼霜、抗衰老產品、眼線筆和“假曬色”，但是他們也承認有時會使用遮瑕膏、粉餅、口紅和睫毛膏。
Besides, they still take less time to get ready than women - an average of 21 minutes for a night out rather than 41 minutes for the average woman。
調查發現，英國男性化妝所用時間平均爲21分鐘，比女性的41分鐘少得多。
James Endersby, of Opinium Research, said: "Male celebrities are seen wearing 'manscara' and 'guyliner' and everybody thinks it's normal."、
研究負責人詹姆斯·恩德斯比說：“男性名人露面時常常塗睫毛膏和眼線，大衆認爲是正常現象。”
