Should guys wear eyeliner?

[skully]

i guess i just don't have the face for it...i have had a few female friends try it out and i just look absolutely gay...litterally.. i look like some kind of gothic drag queen mixxed with a whole lot of flamming abba remixed with some marilyn manson fake body parts....

[Kidthorazine]

Well, maybe not everyday. I love guys in makeup and eyeliner of course...but they look so much better with it on when they are at an event or on stage!!! Otherwise...like to go to the grocery store...I don't know! Guess if he was really into it, then go for it...I wont stop anyone from being themselves!

[Mr Karl]

If it works, why not? me it wouldn't though ...at all

[TheQuietPlace]

Mmm... I LOVE eyeliner. I need to learn how to apply eyeshadow. I wanna start wearing that. Anyways, some guys, should NEVER even ATTEMPT to put on eyeliner... *le twitch*

[TheQuietPlace]

mmm... You have gorgeous eyes, the eyeliner makes them more gorgeous Wait.. You're just one gorgeous man.

[Ouroboros]

I don't look good in eyeliner. I think you have to have really chite skin or very dark skin for it to look good. I'm kinda... in the middle.

... I guess.

[Yasha D. Speed]

i like eyeliner, without it my eyes look shitty

[rayvanfire]

thats just hott!!!!!!

[Tulipaane]

Guys with eyeliner makes me drool......

[Macabre_Dreams]

If they're comfortable enough with themselves to wear it, then they usually look very nice, assuming they do it correctly.

I like shadow better than liner, personally. Will have to work up to the 25 posts.

You'll find though that without eyeliner (or at very least maskera), just eyeshadow looks very boring.

True. I like just a thin line, tho. Shadow tends to accentuate my eyes.

[pelelaka]

must agree, i love your hair! guys wearing eye liner isn't always a hot thing, the wardrobe does have to match and they do have to apply it right. my man doesn't wear eyeliner unless he's doing shows if he wants to have eye makeup on before he goes out he'll put on this wet eyeshadow above and a thin line of it underneith his eye. i love it. i have a hard time with makeup myself and have respect for anyone man or women that can put it on properly.

Depends ow lazy I am.
Somedays I can get away with almost no makeup at all.

[satanika]

i dig guys with eyeliner.but it depends on the guy too.i've seen some bad makeup on boys.
i prefer it more like mike ness or dave navarro.

[Amelia G]

Even kinda messy eyeliner can make a guy look sort of devil-may-care in a good way, in the right situation.

[Lamashtu]

I dont see anything wrong with men wearing eyeliner, heck the ancient egyptians wore it all the time..the guys too...so what difference does it make? Sure it looks icky and crappy on some guys, but on others...:::drooool::::
and grrr to you guys who put it on better then some women...grr I say grr...

[SpookySin]

Guys it depends but they are hot with eyeliner

[Black Spiral Dancer]

My problem is, I wear contacts and am constantly rubbing my eyes, so I don't do the whole eyeliner thing, though i don't frown upon others doing so.

[Janiac02]

If you wanna wear it, knock yourself out. For the most part, I'd prefer guys to wear less makeup than me on a daily basis. Considering I'm too lazy to put it on most days, that doesn't leave much room.

[Velvet-Tongue]

Only if they're bedouins in the desert or football players. On girls I think it's lovely, makes them look mysterious and sexy, but on guys its so cliche and just..no. imho anyway.

[Black Spiral Dancer]

My eye lashes are long (my "elementary school teacher", as you would call them in the states, used to say she would kill forlashes like mine, and that was when I was 5!) and, altjough I am naturally blonde, they are as dark as my eyebrows. The length of my eyelashes do help me to put in my contacts, though I have confused one lad at work by putting some that came out near the computer keyboard, and he thought we had rats, since the hairs couldn't possibly be human. I don't need to wear eyeliner.

[RAGE]

It greatly depends.

Most men shouldnt.
Androgynous men, particularly young androgynous asian men. HELL YES.

Yes, the first and the last are men.

[Lady Alias]

Lol, ASIANS ONLY.

No, no. As long as it isn't over-done, it's kosher.

[SpookySin]

LOL that reminds me of this guy I saw at the goth club here he had spider webs around his eyes I so wanted to laugh but that would have been really rude

[ScarlettSin]

I ADORE men in eyeliner.

... I have seen a few where it just looked kinda icky. Even my honey, now that he's not a 15 yo scrawny androgynous goth boy, it looks kinda... blech. But my friend Ralf looks simply Fabu in eyeliner.

And like say ... Johnny Depp. THE Hottest Pirate Ever.

The strange thing is, the middle one looks like someone I used to know. I guess Bad Gothboy Make-up is universal. It proves why some people should not be allowed near their mother's make-up.
The one time that I did wear make-up was for a fancy dress night at our local goth club a few years ago...

And, yes, those are my natural eyes, not coloured contacts.

[bert_tv]

no I don't wear it out and about...

sometimes its needed especially when you shoot a video in a live concert setting, if you got of intense color changes your eyes tend to get lost, it also depends on the camera choices, film vs digital capture, and ultimately it depends on your desired out come, you might wanna go for a look...

in other words on stage sometimes...

[Scar]

Oh God Yes!!!!!

[Nikki Vega]

The husband wears eyeliner and powder when we go out. It is so hot. If you ever saw the documentary "Another State of Mind" with Social D, Youth Brigade and Minor Threat then you know why I am hooked. I saw that at a really young age and I used to rewind the scene with Mike Ness standing in the bathroom putting eyeliner on. Yummy!

[DeviantMommy]

I'm sort of obsessed w/ eyeliner on guys..not so much lipstick though,especially black lipstick,I think it's just tacky. And it does have to be well done or very simple..I hate seeing the guys w/ the clown white smeared all over thier faces and big,black circles around their eyes,(and usually black lipstick too),or (eegad) the crow makeup.. ::gags violently:: And usually it helps if the guy is pretty attractive to begin w/..adding makeup to a trainwreck doesn't make it any less disturbing.

[a_small_death]

I haven't done so so in a few years just hard to get up in the morning to put makeup on anymore. Though for vacation might do it. Just hate how heavy black makeup feels after a while

[VoltaireBlue]

It really depends on the guy. but only eyeliner, if we are talking about the whole makeup (shadow, lipstick, powder, etc) shebang then hell fucking no. I like guys that look like GUYS. but on the right one a little liner smuged on the bottom lid looks okay sometimes.

[inox]

Speaking of eyeliner...Amelia, here's one from back in the day: DragonCon '94:

Eyeliner is not just for "goth kiddies"!
Most actors and stage performers wear some form of eye makeup to make their features easier to make out--
If you DJ or just go to a club, play in a band, perform in any way, or just take a lot of photos of yourself as a model or for no reason in particular-Eyeliner is very useful!

A little eyeliner never harmed Captain James T. Kirk!
