Pretty boy swag

It ain’t easy being beautiful, but top male beauty blogger Gary Thompson, aka The Plastic Boy, does a stellar job of serving gorgeous face!

For those who don’t follow you, what can they expect from your socials?

I post sassy Instagram stories and daily make-up and skincarevideos with a hint of street style pictures.

What’s your blogging journey been like?

It’s been amazing. The peak was when I did the L’Oréal TrueMatch campaign. I think the only lows have been when people try toget me down with negative comments.

What’s the weirdest beauty treatment you’ve tried?

I’ve had a vampire facial using my own blood! It was super weird. I’m not sure I would have it done again.

Why do you think male beauty bloggers have gained so much traction?

The male beauty space is so new and I think women love seeing men with a full beat; it’s a different perspective to seeing women do it. Also guys are literally coming up in the game.

What advice would you give to someone considering dermal fillers or Botox?

Only do it if you really have to! I don’t have a problem with Botox, but I don’t need it personally. Make sure you go to a proper professional.
