For a split second, something didn't seem right - the name on the nametag was Johan, but the smile I received struck me as a bit feminine. The assistant spoke to me and I realised he was a youn man, aged around 17 or 18, and he was wearing subtle, but quite distinct in the strong lighting, facial make-up. He had some very subtle foundation, mascara and something on his lips which just gave them a very slight shimmer.
Now I don't "do" make-up. I have always had a bit of a negative reaction to the thought of a guy putting on make-up - OK, call it a "prejudice" if you like, but it just doesn't seem very masculine to me. However, I have to say that what I found truly shocking was that he actually looked good with it. He had perfect teeth, well groomed and fairly long hair etc and the bit of make-up enhanced his face: while it didn't make him look particularly masculine, it suited his particular features and complexion.
He was helpful, and friendly too. He clearly had the ability to apply the right stuff in the right way and to carry it off with complete confidence.
