Guyliner: a good look?


Grace

Recommended Posts

It started with Russell Brand and Johnny Depp, but Superdrug is hoping makeup on men could go mainstream this summer. The high-street chemist is stocking its shelves with a range of cosmetics aimed directly at its male customers. Guyliner, a £6.50 kohl pencil, will be in stores this week, closely followed by Manscara, a clear gel for lashes and brows. If they sell well, a lip balm and cover-up will follow.

But are Britain's men ready to start the day by enhancing their eyes or concealing their bags?

What's your opinion on makeup on men? Unnatural or sexy? Guys, would you wear it? I can't say I'm convinced....

Haha, is someone watching this on "This Morning" like I am :P? I think it looks good on musicians, particularly indie/rock. It looked really nice on Brandon Flowers from The Killers, and I think Russell Brand and Johnny Depp also look good with it on. Stuart from Big Brother just looks silly!

Actually if we're going to be technical, it started with Charlie Chaplin and all the other silent movie stars................... but anyway.

Guyliner - oooooooh yes... It's deffo hot. I draw the line at foundation, eyeshadow, lip gloss, mascara and eyeshadow, but a bit of guyliner coupled with a ruffly shirt, tight trousers and lovely ringlety hair is quite, quite lovely on certain gentlemen. Not all of them, like. I mean on some blokes it looks wrong, but some of them can really pull that whole look off!!

Give us the motivation, we can cause a sensation!

It doesn't do anything for me. That's hardly surprising though since I don't wear make-up myself. It just makes me feel like I'm wearing face paint or something and my eyes are allergic to mascara and go all red and itchy and watery which isn't a good look.

I saw this in the Guardian last week, I mean if a guy's going to be in a film or on TV, it's alright to wear some make-up, but I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable with a boyfriend who wore make-up. I don't really approve of guys using hair straighteners either though really, the metrosexual look doesn't really do it for me.

I agree with Nati and Heather.

When my husband dressed up as a Samurai for Halloween I put a lot of make up on him. The next day, after he had washed it off there was still some eyeliner on and it looked very sexy! However, day to day I think he'd look silly wearing it.

I have to disagree with Emma about Stu from BB....I am loving his eyes! He is hot, hot, hot!!

Does Stu from Big Brother wear mascara too?

I agree that Brandon Flowers looks good but it's a no from me for any other man. How feminine will boys get before they realise it's a bit silly? I don't like all-natural guys - shaving your armpits and straightening your hair is perfectly fine, but come on... there is a limit...

Ooooh nice picture Emma!!

I think he gets his eyelashes dyed but denies it (I think). Should check with Jo, she knows absolutely everything about BB!

Sometimes I think Jo IS Big Brother! Well, sister :D

    • The shows surely being driven for him so all he has to do is talk between the tracks and he can’t get even get that right 
    • I thought the same to that comment, the license fee is going on me babes 
    • What with Jamie Laing, now him. Is it time for a new Head of the station?
    • He also just said coming up we have brand new segment, I thought they were a band 🤣 how did this man get on Radio 1? Aled needs his head testing. It’s an insult people who deserve to be on the radio 
    • Of all the times not mention capital it's probably now? Jordan is flying on breakfast with chris & sian and there's a presenter on friday and saturday that doesn't know who a main r1 artist, tldp are. Mentions capital which surely has to be a big no no given recent events and then says the licence fee goes to me. Talk about vom. We can't have it on here no more as it's that unlistenable and I'm about to switch back for m&m, but this is a Maya Jama x50 level mess of a show. Forget fading the microphone down, the entire show needs fading down
    • As positives go, at least Danny said what the last song played was and upcoming song played was. Plus I guess in that link are perhaps ideas for content (asking listeners to come up with bands from things around them, things that have happened to them this week). That's where's the positives end. It comes across as no thought has gone into what Danny will say next. It gives me proper flashbacks to some Jamie Laing links (especially that one show where he was unexpectedly solo). It's ironic that for all the duos and trios on the station - the one show and DJ that is positively crying out for another DJ to help show them the ropes is left all solo. At least with Jamie Laing they learnt their lesson and he's not been left solo since.
    • How he was just faded out at the end of the link reminded me of the Oscars music fading you out 
    • RPReplay_Final1713612277.mp4   You’re welcome
    • At a time when Radio 1 has surely lost listeners to Capital at Breaktast you’d be trying to protect the station so people switch back.  Certainly yesterday I didn’t switch back to Radio 1 at all.
    • Was abysmal…Surely Danny can’t be a contender for anything permanent when the new schedules are locked in I.e Matt and Mollies slot 
    • Alexandra Burke creating the phrase 'Elephant In The Room' whooooooooo
    • Zane Versus.... Whooooooooo. Do You Do Fridays? WhooOOOooo.  
    • The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital A few quickfire questions: You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air? Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first? Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?    
    • What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.
    • Have been reading this all week. She's such a brave woman. Just got to the chapter where she explains why she missed Scott's leaving event at Radio 1. She talks about leaving Radio 1 because her mum's health got worse, and wanting to quietly leave radio at 44 just how she first arrived on the airwaves at 18. Worth a read!
