Are beards make-up for men?
Updated | By Poelano Malema

Make-up does wonders, as seen in the case of an 80-year-old granny who ended up looking like a movie star. But if you thought it’s only make-up that has the magic to transform how a person looks, think again.
It seems that beards are the new form of make-up for guys. Beards can make a man’s face look older or younger, emphasise features, conceal flaws, or even contour.
And if you need more proof, take a look at our very own MalJan and Robbie Kruse from the Breakfast Show.

And of course tweeps had a fun day debating this. Below are some of our favourite.
Some of you would be nothing without your beards so leave me alone about my god damn makeup!!!
