men wearing eyeliner

Silverchair

2009-04-21T19:44:00.000-04:00

Remember Silverchair from back in the day? The teenage Aussies with deep lyrics and strong riffs? Well, after a decade or so, a bought of anorexia and a makeover, they reemerged on the music seen in the mid-2000s with guyliner.

Taxi Cosmetics

Taxi Cosmetics of London has a full line of men's cosmetics. Beyond the Guyliner they also have "MANscara" Mascara and Disguys Concealer. Now, I am all for men adding a little extra glam to their eyes, but I'm just not sure how I feel about the concealer. What do you think?

Tattoos and Eyeliner

2009-04-01T20:46:00.000-04:00

I forget who this is, but those tattoos are so hott I almost missed the eyeliner!

Hair

2009-02-26T09:47:00.013-05:00

With slimmer plates to get all the way to the root of shorter hair, Phillips is launching a "mens only" hair straightener. For the perfect emo hair to go along with the guyliner look, try the new hot iron just for men.

Makes a lot of sense, but even the guyliner demographic still likes to be manly, why the feminine shade of purple?

U2

2009-02-22T09:40:00.000-05:00

It's true, Bono was wearing eyeliner at the Grammy's and now we have the picture to prove it.

I wonder what we will see at the Oscars tonight!

Tinted Windows

2009-02-19T09:03:00.000-05:00

WENN reports that James Iha, formerly of The Smashing Pumpkins, Taylor Hanson of… Hanson, Cheap Trick’s Bun E. Carlos, and Fountains Of Wayne bassist Adam Schlesinger have formed a band called Tinted Windows that has already recorded a debut album. The band will make its debut at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin in March.

Nine Inch Nails

2009-02-18T10:22:00.001-05:00

Rumor has it that Nine Inch Nail and Jane's Addiction will be teaming up and touring together this summer. Trent Reznor has also announced that after the tour, NIN will be taking an indefinite break. This is a very bittersweet day for all lovers of guyliner.

Bono at the Grammys

2009-02-09T19:09:00.002-05:00

I heard a rumor that Bono was wearing guyliner at the Grammys last night, but can't seem to find proof anywhere. Does anyone have an image? Email me at mwe@grungegeekdesign.com. Thanks!

Prince

2009-02-07T20:01:00.000-05:00

I have a confession to make. One of the first guys I ever lusted after was Prince. Even though he is literally half my size in both stature and width, he is hott, with a double "t." I always attributed it to the whole "23 positions in a one night stand" thing, but maybe it was actually the eyeliner.

Jude Law

2009-02-05T19:28:00.014-05:00

I know we shy away from men in eyeliner, as women, but a new image has hit the webernets, and it's just too great to pass up! Jude Law will star in Rage, a film where he plays a tranny who gets mixed up in a murder investigation. He is so pretty as a boy, and it turns out, kind of pretty as a girl too! Look forward to Rage coming out sometime in 2009.

Paramore and No Doubt

2009-01-28T18:43:00.008-05:00

It has been many years since No Doubt last toured, but they are getting on the bus and hitting the road this summer and they are bringing Paramore with them this time around. Old School alternative and New School all together. I hope they make it around to my neck of the woods.

LOST!

2009-01-21T07:08:00.000-05:00

Tonight is the season 5 premier of LOST! This is the day that all Lost junkies have been impatiently awaiting for 9 long, Lost free months. A recent interview between the Television Critics Association and Lost executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof brought up the concept of Guyliner. Does Nestor Carbonell, the actor who plays Richard Alpert, wear eyeliner? According to the producers, it is in fact, fake!

Lindelof: When we first saw dailies of Nestor, we said, “We gotta talk to him about the eyeliner situation.” [But] he is completely sans makeup. Just watch him on a smaller screen, I guess
Cuse: The true mystery of “Lost” is: “Is Nester wearing makeup?” I guess.

What do you think? Eyeliner or not?

Cody Sheldon

2009-01-14T14:19:00.002-05:00

Rumor has it that last night's premier of American Idol 8 introduced the world to one Cody Sheldon, a horror movie loving, guyliner wearing, crooner that sang his heart all the way to Hollywood. Please excuse the terrible quality of the video but until Fox updates their website this is the best we can get!

Next Craze: Mantyhose

2009-01-12T20:47:00.000-05:00

We have already seen the Mirdle, one of the coming trends in the Men Wearing Eyeliner world are mantyhose from e-MANcipiate. I do wish I could get behind this trend, but it kind of goes against all the concepts that pantyhose in and of themselves embody.

Firstly, as my bf pointed out, men don't wear panties, therfore, no pantyhose.

Secondly, the man equipement just doesn't seem to be made for this type of fit.

And thirdly, it's just weird..

But if it is somethink you are into, Mantyhose come in all sorts of fun colors and patterns. Consider the stripes, tartans, camo, polka dots and something I would have to consider pictures of Parisian scenes.

Dave Navarro

2009-01-07T19:33:00.002-05:00

Dave Navarro has been hot for decades, fans of rock will easily attest to that. From Jane's Addiction to Red Hot Chili Peppers, to Supernova and on his own, Navarro has always had that something which has made women swoon. But now that he is sporting the man eyeliner? Wow!

Bret Michaels

2009-01-04T19:50:00.000-05:00

Bret Michaels, once the partying, stripper loving, rock star, lead singer of Poison is now the eyeliner wearing, partying, stripper loving, star of Rock of Love. Season 3 premiers tonight to find the girls fighting for his love while living on a tour bus!

Will we ever find out what is actually underneath that bandana?

The Dutchman

2009-01-01T19:26:00.000-05:00

Here is some guy that goes by the name The Dutchman. It's rare to see the bald head and guyliner combo, we usually see the emo hair, but it's a fun twist!

Russell Brand

2008-12-30T19:22:00.000-05:00

I"ll admit, I feel a bit out of the loop when it comes to Russell Brand. As far as I know he played a small role in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and then all of a sudden he was hosting the MTV awards. Perhaps he is bigger than I am aware? He must be at least as eccentric as I was thinking since he sports the eyeliner and some rat's nest hair.

Next Craze: The Mirdle

2008-12-29T13:26:00.001-05:00

In the world of emo pop culture and all forms of hot mansexuals we, of course, have guyliner. But the newest trend in this culture has to be the "Mirdle" the girdle for guys. My opinion, add some eyeliner to any of these guys sporting the "Mirdle" and we've got a deal. But remember girls, just like a girdle or a padded bra, what you see isn't what you get.

Spidey Liner

2008-12-23T19:17:00.000-05:00

I"m not entirely sure who has the magical photoshop skills on this one, but really, guyliner should not be added in afterwards.

If men in eyeliner are a drug, I'd love to have this chemical romance.

The Year 2027

2007-03-27T11:40:00.001-04:00

I say, if the future holds men wearing eyeliner, I'm there! Although, I will be 49 then, will I still be turned on by men in makeup?

2007-03-27T11:35:00.001-04:00

While I think that this video is creepy and wigs me out in the whole scared of clowns kind of way, you can' t tell me that Panic! At the Disco front man, (ok, nm I can't find a bio or a band member list anywhere on their site) doesn't looks stellar in eyeliner.

V for Eye-liner?

2007-03-23T19:53:00.000-04:00

It's been a while since a significant post. Perhaps tomorrow when I have more motivation and less wine. But until then, isn't it Voracious and Vabulous to have men wearing eye-liner?

Not The Virus

2007-01-17T14:41:00.000-05:00

I have absolutely no idea why but this picture really reminds me of my ex boyfriend The Virus. Maybe it's that he is wearing all black, or the way he is standing, or maybe it's that I am assuming those are tapered pants he is wearing, because he really looks nothing like this:

Either way it's bad news because I really don't want to think of The Virus every time I hear this band, which I suck because I forget what band's site I got this from. I'm so fired.

Serious Eyeliner

2007-01-11T15:46:00.000-05:00

Now that is what I call some serious eyeliner!

I'm Getting Some Elijah Wood

2006-12-27T09:55:00.000-05:00

I've search the Internet high and low, (ok, totally exaggeration, I did maybe three seconds worth of searching) to determine what movie Elijah Wood did that would require him to be so fabulously made up in eyeliner. Anyone out there know?

Love Like Winter

A little lower lid action

2006-12-22T12:19:00.000-05:00

I have no idea who this boy is and a trip to his website reveals what can only be assumed to be russian text. But he's cute with just a little tad of eyeliner (much less then I prefer to wear on myself.)

Merry Christmas

2006-12-21T09:44:00.000-05:00

Welcome to the inaugural post at Men Wearing Eyeliner. This blog is a year long Christmas present to my friend Flick and well...because I have to agree...men wearing eyeliner are HOT! So let's get right into it shall we?

EYELINER LAUNCHED FOR FELLAS
AN eyeliner for blokes - called Guyliner - has been launched by a chain store.

The make-up is aimed at men who want a punky look like Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean.

Superdrug plans to have in-store beauty specialists to show fellas how to apply it properly.
The store's beauty director Jeff Wemyss said: "Our beauty trends watchers have been aware of the merging of lines between male and female beauty.

"This is a great example of men using female products in a masculine way.

"Johnny Depp is the archetype of this style and he really carries it off in Pirates of the Caribbean."

Other celebrities known to use a touch of eyeliner include Robbie Williams and the Kaiser Chiefs singer Ricky Wilson.

The £5.99 pencil comes in brown, black and grey.

I'm not 100% sure how you go from teenage-angst Jordan Catalano to screaming emo guy in 30 Seconds to Mars but I will highly admit, either way is perfectly fine with me!
