Elvis Presley wore makeup in real life. He was very fond of makeup, especially eyeliner. While he was working as a movie theater usher as a teen, Elvis would watch films starring Tony Curtis and became a huge fan of the actor. Several years later, while filming Ragazzi di provincia (1960), Elvis finally met Curtis and they became friends. Tony taught him how to apply eyeliner and give it a somewhat smokey look. This was actually a common practice for male actors and entertainers. From then on, Elvis started incorporating makeup into his shows and daily life.
