Guyliner is no longer only for homosexuals, punk rockers and showmen. It is surprisingly becoming more socially acceptable for heterosexual men who ascribe to metrosexualism and glamour. Thanks to men like Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies and Tobey Maguire in "Spider-Man 3" Here are some tips to successfully wear this increasingly popular trend.

Tips to choose a guyliner

While choosing guyliners do not go for pastel colors and frosty or shimmery shades. Color tints, shiny, shimmery elements, pastels or frosts is just a 'no'. For masculine look, stick to basic colour - black.

Before using one, check for allergic reaction by testing it on the most unnoticeable area like under your forearm. Do not use any brand of guyliner that causes weeping or a rash. Men who are allergic to basis eyeliners, go for hypoallergenic eyeliners. You can also get some self-sharpening eyeliner its a little more expensive but its worth it

Tips to apply a guyliner

Draw a bold line along the base area of your eye and along the upper eyelid.. Make sure not to glob or becomes too concentrated in one area.

Don't make it look perfect, flawless make up is for girls. Smudge it with your finger, as guys look better in dramatic effect. The smudge will give you a rockstar look. Neat eyeliner on men tends to look creepy, not cool.

For more cool look, smudge black eyeshadow over the eyelids. If desired, this can be extended till the eyebrow but this step is only optional. This will surely make you stand out from the crowd.

Many guys may think its is not important, but eye-makeup remover is a must. Make sure to cleanse your eyes each night before sleeping, with a gentle remover and wash off the cleaner.
