This is brilliant.
If there was one good thing to happen in 2016, it’s that more men who wear makeup were given a platform for their passion. Cover Girl announced their first ever male spokesperson a few months ago and more recently Maybelline chose Manny Gutierrez as their first ever male ambassador.

Of course, there will always be people who have an issue with diversity and we recently saw this on Twitter when someone criticised Manny for wearing makeup.
Matt Walsh posted a picture of Manny in some flawless makeup and said: ”Dads, this is why you need to be there to raise your sons,” presumably implying that without a man around the house, young men will start wearing make-up.

Funnily enough though, Manny’s dad is around, and he actually works for his son, who’s career is growing rapidly.
Manny simply replied, ‘My dad actually works for me and is SO PROUD of me.’

As if this wasn’t enough of an incredible comeback, The MUA’s father, Manny Senior sent his son a text in regards to the hateful message from Matt Walsh.
His dad wrote a message to Walsh and asked Manny to share it on social media.
The heartfelt message stated, ‘I know the words you speak are from a lack of knowing anybody from the LGBT community. If you did, you would realise they are some of the most real and kind-hearted individuals that walk this planet.’
