How to Wear Guyliner
Introduction
Guyliner is becoming very popular, thanks to men like Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies and by Pete Wentz, a member of the band "Fall Out Boy." Guyliner is exactly what it sounds like: eyeliner for men. Use these tips to successfully wear this increasingly popular trend.
Instructions
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Steps
1
Step One
Purchase black eyeliner. Unlike women, who can choose a rainbow of eyeliner shades, men should stick to basic black eyeliner.
2
Step Two
Start with a black pencil eyeliner. Pencil eyeliners are softer and more forgiving of mistakes than the liquid eyeliners. Once you master putting on guyliner, you can switch to liquid eyeliner.
3
Step Three
Brace your arm against a bathroom counter and lean in very close to the mirror. Steady your hand, as applying eyeliner with a shaky hand will not create the desired result.
4
Step Four
Outline your eyes, top and bottom, making the line thick. Feel free to go all the way up both corners.
5
Step Five
Smudge the eyeliner upwards and outwards with your finger or a professional smudger to give it a smudged and less perfect look.
6
Step Six
Practice makes perfect. Even women who have been wearing eyeliner for years can mess up the application. Have make-up remover available the first few times you put on your guyliner. Expect to remove and reapply it a few times to get it correct.
Tips & Warnings
- Avoid poking your eye with your eyeliner. This could lead to an eye infection.
- If you get an eye infection, make sure you discard your eye make-up. Not doing this could re-spread the bacteria.
