Sexy and Masculine in “Guyliner”

In the Orlando Sentinel, Colleen Mastony says
Eye makeup never looked so good on a man. In the latest installment of Pirates of the Caribbean, Johnny Depp trowels on more black eyeliner than a Kabuki dancer. Yet, even with his heavily shadowed eyes and industrial-strength mascara, Depp manages to exude masculine sex-appeal as he swaggers woozily across the big screen as campy, over-the-top, drunken pirate Capt. Jack Sparrow.
Fuelled by Johnny’s eyepopping turns as Captain Jack Sparrow, as well as his popularity with the gentlemen as well as the ladies, the use of “guyliner” is becoming more common. A list of celebs who use it:
* Tobey Maguire (in Spiderman 3)
* Jared Leto
* Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy)
* My Chemical Romance
* Panic! At The Disco
* The Killers
and even Depp’s father in “At World’s End,” the legendary Keith Richards, has now taken a liking to it.
Thanks to a merchandising line from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, the motto “Real men wear eyeliner” is now available on mugs, t-shirts, and hats.
Johnny started the trend, and he’s still the best at wearing it! What do you think? Would you guys out there wear eyeliner? And ladies, do you like your man wearing it?
