Defining a masculine look is slightly different than applying eyeliner on a woman. The goal in a boy is to highlight the look, while in a girl it is to increase the beauty. Here are some tips for applying eyeliner on a male face. Eyeliner looks particularly good on Goths and fans of certain bands.
Steps
Step 1. Get a suitable eyeliner
Guys tend to feel more comfortable with thicker eyeliner. In this guide, a dark (preferably black) and plain eyeliner is recommended. Bright colors, pastel shades, glitter, glitter are different types that will not be discussed here, but are as valid as the most popular one. One example is Boy George.
Step 2. Check for allergic reactions by testing it in a small area first
Two good places to test it are under the forearm or on the belly. If you feel itchy and see redness, don't use it. Look for another eyeliner, possibly hypoallergenic or with other ingredients.
Step 3. Draw a thick line along the base of the eye
Make sure the eyeliner doesn't stick or focus too much on one spot. Draw a thick line along the upper eyelid.
Step 4. Blend it out
Boys are not looking for perfection, but for an effective look. It is the smudges that give the rock star effect. The eyeliner applied precisely on men is quite disturbing, and certainly not beautiful. Unless you want to look like Prince.
Step 5. Blend some black eyeshadow on the eyelid
You can put it up to the eyebrow if you want, however this step is entirely optional. It can be useful if you are someone who likes to stand out in the crowd at concerts.
Step 6. Get eye makeup remover
You have to remove the eyeliner every night before going to sleep, otherwise it will cloud your eyes and you will find it all on the pillow. Remove your makeup every night with a mild make-up remover and then rinse your face.
Advice
- Buy self-tempering eyeliner. It is a little more expensive but it is worth it.
- The more imperfect this makeup is, the better. The masculine style must be like this.
- If you like a pale look, you can put some light powder (face powder or eyeshadow) before the eyeliner.

- You can add more makeup after putting on the eyeliner.
Warnings
- First test the eyeliner on a small area of clean skin, such as your wrist, before putting it on your eyes.
- Do not lend eyeliner to anyone. Infections are easily transmitted.
