I don’t think this is a good data point, since the makeup they wear is explicitly designed to counteract visual artifacts (glare, unnatural-seeming skin tones, etc.) that are introduced by the camera. Thus, the makeup does not necessarily have a positive effect on people who see the movie stars in person.
This is a wonderful data point. It moves our model from “if you’re a man, don’t wear makeup” to “if you’re a man, don’t wear makeup unless you’re going to appear on camera, in which case, wear just enough to counteract visual artifacts.” I expect this to be a nontrivially better model for a significant amount of men here.
Data: pretty much all male Hollywood stars wear (natural-looking) makeup whenever they appear on camera.
