Warpaint : Male Make-up and Identity Through Time

Warpaint: Male Makeup and Identity Through Time uncovers the overlooked history of male self-adornment—rituals through which men have performed identity, projected power, and claimed their place in society. From tribal pigments to punk eyeliner, the male face and body have long been canvases for transformation, defiance, and desire.

As masculinity is redefined and the male beauty market surges, Warpaint reflects on appearance as both conformity and resistance. With imagery and incisive commentary by Josh Sims, the book reframes makeup as ritual, rebellion, and belonging.
