Permanently Beautiful

Seriously. Has anyone ever seen Billy Joe Armstrong or any other members of Green Day without their guyliner? Do you think when these guys and other hot pop/rock stars rise and shine every morning at the crack of noon that they head into their bathrooms with a fistful of eyeliner pencils and brushes?  That they loom up against their mirrors and try to draw lines around their eyelids?  I think not. 

We’re talking about high power glam guys like Trent Reznor and Travis Barker - the kind of guys who are so covered with tattoos that they could be Google maps. Do you think they’d draw the line - pun intended - at getting permanent eyeliner tattooed on their lids?  You tell me.

But before you do, take a look at these great guyliner photos we found on the TMZ. See whether you can match the guylinered eyes with the superstar guy! 

Once the exclusive territory of of only homosexuals, punk rockers and showmen, well-applied guyliner is slowly but surely becoming more socially acceptable for heterosexual men who ascribe to metrosexualism, glamour, and general fabulousness.

We read that at the recent Roberto Cavalli fashion show a dark smoky cat eye with a 60s style mane of hair was the new hot runway look in beauty.

 Both hairstylist Guido Palau and makeup artist Pat McGrath cited Brigitte Bardot as their inspiration for this super-sexy look. Jennifer Lopez  comes to mind as another icon of this look. To achieve the dramatic eye, McGrath applied dark liner around the entire eye, as well as in the crease and inside the lower lash line, blending slightly for definition. The liner was then topped with eye shadow in a black hue and lashes were coated with major mascara.

It’s power-house glam with a lot of drama. Perfect for a special night when you want to amp up your volume. Why not get a head-start by having a base coat of permanent eye-liner all ready applied to both your upper and lower eye-lids?  You’ll save precious time when you’re in prep mode for getting ready.  Plus there’ll be less margin for error when you’ve all ready got a permanent eye-liner guideline to follow.  Just trace it over and build it up.

 Then when you want to dial it back down, you’re all ready there!  And if you’re having a special sleepover, you can go ahead and take it off – your evening eye make-up that is – assured that when morning comes, you’ll look fresh and gorgeous. No caked smudges or black flakes of make-up around your eyes. And you won’t look like your face is missing in action either.
