Men are increasingly seeking cosmetics, according to a report featured by the Daily Star.
The trend was said to begin a few years ago but it recently began to increase as a growing number of cosmetics and skin care brands introduced lines for men.
One beauty expert said male customers are more regularly looking for manicure and pedicure sessions.
The international market for male cosmetics grows larger every year - whereas in the beginning it only encompassed hygiene products.
Brands such as Biotherm Hommes and Clarins Men continue to expand their product lines to meet the increasing demand.

The report, as featured by PR Newswire, was a national Internet survey conducted by Target Research Group and Decision Analysts that asked 225 men ages 18 to 64 if they would be embarrassed if others knew they colored their hair; and if they thought coloring their gray hair was a "femine" thing to do.
Of the respondents, 43 percent said that they would not be embarrassed if others knew they colored their hair and more than three quarters (77 percent) of respondents agreed that coloring their hair is a masculine thing to do.
