Guyliner - Love It OR Hate It?!

Ranked #225 in Fashion & Beauty, #3,991 overall

Yes, Real Men Do Wear Eyeliner And Makeup!

It's not just punky emo boys, pirates and rock stars that are wearing guyliner these days. Wearing eyeliner and makeup is becoming more popular for common men too. What do you think of the new metrosexual makeup? Ladies, would you like to see your husband or boyfriend wear guyliner or manscara? Guys, are you wondering if you should give it a try and need some tips from the experts?

When I decided to pick a fight on MonkeyBrain I wanted it to be a little bit quirky and lots of fun... I know you've got an opinion about guys who wear eyeliner, so add your 2 cents to the debate! Is it hot or not?

My inspiration for this lens was Jared Leto, who I adore, admire and respect, with or without the eyeliner. Jared is very, well lets face it, beautiful. He is the singer and songwriter for the band, 30 Seconds to Mars and a very talented actor. He used to wear makeup, lots of makeup, especially black eyeliner, but he has been known to get a little crazy once in a while with the color too.

Guys who wear eyeliner and makeup, -what do you think?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

Love it!

ScottJames87 says:

it all depends upon the personality

euro1965 says:

Great idea

anne_mohanraj says:

well, i can get used to the idea, thats for sure, but for now it will be just plain weird

getopinion says:

I can't imagine Jared Leto without guyliner, love him, love 30 to Mars!

Recess123 says:

It's there lives, they can do wat they want. Doesn't affect me at all.

alexaa7x says:

I think it's sexy for certain guys but don't get me wrong- I don't wanna see every guy in the world with it on

suicidecircus says:

i think it's totally fine for, say, rockstars to wear guyliner.
for an extreme example, just look at japanese visual kei....lol...
guyliner overload much?
but...=hothothothot= if other ppl do this too

NeverTooLate2012 says:

So cool! So hot!

mommafox says:

On the right man, for sure.

macsquared says:

Love it. It's not right for every guy, but it is right for many guys <3

SacredHands says:

Depends on the man, the setting and their age. Just as some women need to tone down their makeup as they get older, I would think that some men would need to stop wearing guyliner when they get older. I would really rather not see old footage of Sir Alec Guiness in guyliner or Sir Sean Connery in guyliner, but OMG Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow is HOT in guyliner!

mycalculadora says:

Depends on the guy right?

PEPricilla says:

Make sure you wear those things properly, or you'll look like a panda - no offence!

AznMichael says:

only kpop idols can pull it off

masaad says:

I do wear it sometimes, tough i am not gay, its for the gothic look

Luckycharm says:

For some people, definitely yes, I mean Gerard way..looks so amazing <3

Sureep says:

Cool.... hehehe

DesignsByAlex says:

Definately depends on the guy though!

technospunky says:

Hawt!!

Jayndoe says:

Some guys can really pull it off and, on those guys, it is unbelievably sexy. Other guys- not so much. They just look like they're playing dress up or something.

3rexer says:

Strange

1squidoofan says:

It actually looks okay.

MamaWise says:

Absolutely yummy!

kloydskii says:

cool!

LeCordonDude says:

We'll see!

Hate it!

jwcooney says:

Not really a fan of the idea, but it's useful for TV personalities etc

ernad18 says:

verry bad...

ptnjust007 says:

Oh nooo
uncomfortable

supertranJR says:

Weird.

ronaldpakasi says:

ugh....nooooo!

Light-Life-Energy says:

i'm 'au natural' myself; limiting input of toxins to my skin for health purposes. appreciate the makeup for entertainers - films, theater, etc. - but prefer real life view overall.

corysnana says:

for a movie or for a band, fine, but for everyday use?? not! call me an old fashioned kind of girl, which I am,( I was born in 1962 ) real men didn't wear makeup or was that pink anyways like I said for the proper occasion, movies, bands, halloween ect., it would be a yes

angelniki says:

it creeps me out a lil especially since i dont wear eye liner my self :)

BinendraWije says:

Although I don't necessarily hate it I do think that we could do without.The only example from the above articles that I thought looked ,at the very most, okay was the jack sparrow.

ishopper says:

Men don't need eyeliner!

CountrySunshine says:

Not a big fan. Perhaps good for actors or musicians, but just can't see the every day guy wearing it.

dpaules says:

I personally don't care for it, but it is their freedom to do as they wish...

PapaKork says:

Not a fan.

cweshen1 says:

unfortunately I think of a man as effeminate who wears noticeable makeup.

Ioannisnight says:

no

kontrolldkhaos says:

It's like any girl who wears heavy makeup/airbrushing, stiletto heels, weave, fake nails, etc., you have to look good without it as well. It's nice to be appreciated for the real you.
And then again, a guy asking his girlfriend for her eyeliner because he ran out...odd.

Dothra says:

Not really too bothered, think it can be kinda weird though.

SammySpam says:

Just no.. Just no..

dpethealth says:

not for me, but do recognize this as a new trend

eczema-soap-treatment says:

not guys at all!

jstringer28 says:

I can see it for movies or band performances because it's done mostly for affect. However, cool on stage becomes creepy off stage.

Example: Aerosmith looks cool on stage with tons of liner. Put any of them in a classroom, or office, and they would look out of their element and, quite frankly, creepy.

artand says:

What happened to being dapper?

fishingman1 says:

noooo

fishingman1 says:

weird ! If the fashion ever gets to stilettos for men Its time to leave .

survivoryea says:

No-just can't see it
