According to a recent survey about fashion in 7 big and medium Chinese
cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu, Shenyang and
Xi'an), most men there spend as much time as women in front of mirrors.
"Cosmetics" is no longer a strange word to ordinary Chinese men.

Cosmetics for men have become a necessity in about 33% of the male
responders' families, especially to those families with a monthly income
of over 5,000 yuan (there are cosmetics for men in more than 50% of the
families).

The statistics collected in the survey reveal that averagely a Chinese
man spends about 80 yuan on cosmetics every month, and about 8.6 minutes
in front of the mirror.

Taking Chinese women into who are no less, nay, more than fond of
cosmetics in to consideration, Chinese spend about 107 yuan on cosmetics
per capita, and the money they spend on cosmetics tends to grow with
their income, as those who earn over 4,000 yuan every month averagely
spend more than 300 yuan on that.
