Charlie Teasdale of men's magazine Esquire discusses the actors who are leading a trend towards men wearing make-up. South Korea was market leader in Asia for male make-up until 2017, and Helen Cho of the website Swagger talks us through some of the most popular products sold through her site. Also in the programme, as more cases of Coronavirus are confirmed in China, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Andrew Walker considers the potential economic impact of the disease.
