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!!!

If I'm fake for wearing makeup boys are fake for growing beards, they shave it off and suddenly you're texting a 12 year old 😩😫
