What do you think of guyliner? - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

TheRoof · 22nd Jan 2011, 08:13 PM

Opinions please! (personally I think it's sexy

)
Also would it be too weird to wear a guyliner during daytime, and not necessarily u know when going out and whatnot?

Shevanel · 22nd Jan 2011, 08:16 PM

Calling it guyliner is pretty much a joke. Just saying.

I'm not into makeup on myself at all though.

jrnewton2 · 22nd Jan 2011, 08:26 PM

I'm not coordinated enough to put it on without stabbing myself in the eye, but I've seen some guys who can really pull it off. I say go for it if you want!

**TheEdend** · 22nd Jan 2011, 08:34 PM

If you like it go for it.

I wouldn't call it guyliner in public tho xD Just sounds like you are trying too hard to prove that its a "mans thing"

IsItSo · 22nd Jan 2011, 08:54 PM

An enormous turnoff.

Colton · 22nd Jan 2011, 09:08 PM

I think it just depends on the person. Some people can pull it off, and some people are just, no. But usually, if they can pull it off, es muy sexiii. ^_^

midwestblues · 22nd Jan 2011, 09:23 PM

^Yup. It really works on some guys. On others, not so much.

Believe me, I couldn't care less about proving something is a "man's thing".

I think it's sexy if done right. Like adam lambert type eyeliner is bit too much imo, but bille joe armstrong type thing totally turns me on lol It's so damn hawt haha

whoa that pic came out way too big lmao

maverick · 23rd Jan 2011, 12:56 AM

It can be pulled off, but I think it's really only appealing on rockstars.

Note: Gothy/emo guys in eyeliner, combined with that pale makeup, kind of scare me sometimes with that shag of hair in their eyes that is currently the style. All I can think of are the ghosts in Japanese horror films.

**Chip** · 23rd Jan 2011, 02:45 AM

Meh, I'm old fashioned. Don't like it on guys, and generally don't like it on girls either.

I'm a strong believer that putting a bunch of crap on your face (or hair) to make yourself appealing is a non-starter -- I'd rather see the natural beauty in someone rather than a bunch of painted-on stuff. My crowd is probably a bit unusual, but nearly all of them (from late teens to 60s, but mostly in their 20s) tend to eschew that sort of stuff and instead focus on the real person

partietraumatic · 23rd Jan 2011, 04:15 AM

I used to wear it every now and then, though i don't anymore. I think it can work on some people, but it's not really neccessary. I personally wore it not because I wanted to make myself more attractive to others, but it was almost a psychological thing, it made me feel more attractive.

mnguy · 23rd Jan 2011, 09:00 AM

Not a fan of it on any guys I've seen wearing it. I think the guys I'm attracted to aren't the type who would wear it.

British Lad · 23rd Jan 2011, 09:25 AM

on some guys it is amasing on others not so.

I fully concur. Prefect is boring, it is the little imperfections that make something beautiful.

Now that is just my personal preference. It may not be yours, so wear whatever makes you happy.

Z3ni · 23rd Jan 2011, 11:21 AM

Yeah I think its nice, be good if its a normal thing tho D:

alan t · 23rd Jan 2011, 02:02 PM

I didn't know that guys used this stuff but now I want to try it.

Harve · 23rd Jan 2011, 02:40 PM

It doesn't look good on me, but on other guys it can look amazing :3

roborama · 24th Jan 2011, 03:21 PM

so yeah im the only girl here and probably shouldnt be giving advice but i cant help it, i do a bunch of my guyfriends' makeup probably more than is normal. If you have the face for it and know how to use it and thats the look youre going for, go for it

QuantumBoi · 24th Jan 2011, 06:09 PM

"Guyliner" and makeup is not really my style. Some people can pull off a little. However, I have not thus far met anyone in real life who could. I would still be attracted to a guy if he wore some makeup, as long as it isn't overdone, though.

SMLequalBGFs · 25th Jan 2011, 01:48 PM

it depends. if a guy has shaggy hair, peircings, wears black and skinny jeans, then it drives me WILD. but when they wear a BUNCH of metal with rainbow hair and tight clothes, it's a huge turn off. so depends on the person, i think.
