How to apply black eyeliner+eyeshadow on a guy without looking like a girl/ladyboy?

I find it really difficult to not look gay after applying black eyeliner or eyeshadow. My friends encourage me to apply it, though, but they seemed to be unsatisfied with the results after I applied it and told me it doesn't fit me.





So, please suggest some ways I could apply it in a more masculine way?

It's all about working daintily.


when you want makeup to look natural you always work with shadows, not lines. so what you need to do is turning lines into shadows and dots. hence considering your eyelashes brown or black:


get a Flat/ Bright sable brush no. 4 or 3, may be brand Arian no.4. draw short lines beside each other with a water prof pencil eyeliner at the back of your hand and then gently scrub the brush on the lines. then using the brush gently draw a smoky shadow under your eye. after that using a very sharp waterproof eye pencil draw a very thin line through your eyelashes n be careful Cross the eyelashes line. finally draw dot lines through your lower eyelashes line with a eyeliner 2 numbers darker than your eyelashes.


now your set n done.and if your hair color is light work with brown n light brown eye pencils. just remember while applying the more softly you work the more dainty Ur result would be.

Where i come from,i.e the North west part of Pakistan,men apply black eyeliner,called SURMA in these parts on a regular basis because it is supposed to be good for the eyes and they dont look feminine at all.The trick is to use a match stick thin applier and to apply it only on the inside pink part of the eyes ever so slowly and carefully.Dont use that furry stick which comes with the cosmetic mascara or eyeliner,use a match stick or something equally thin.


Cheers.
first off no eye liner is masculine and neither is eye shadow. I mean girls dont really want to date a guy wearing the same make up that they were. And if you are doing it for your friends thats even stupider.

you can't apply eyeliner+eyeshadow with out looking like a girl/ladyboy
create a geometric design-don't apply it as a girl would-- be bold- thick and heavy and do not blend-- but if you are a boy why are you applying make up?? Please don't get me wrong I am only curious.
some guys do need to wear makeup, its fine.. just people are not quite used to it.. stars like nelly wears eyeliner and concealers..





but to apply makeup.. its best to use pencial to give it a more natural look.. and apply thinnly as possible.. your goal is to make it less obvious that your wearing it.. dont press hard, just draw like you would when you sketch a drawing and draw as close as you can to your lashline.
It is always going to look rather prissy or camp no matter what you do.
well, women usually wear eyeliner that is very fine....a thin, black line that is directly on top or just below the eye. my ex boyfriend used to be in an emo band and he wore makeup all the time...in fact, he wore eyeliner and some really bright red eyeshadow. the point is to make it smudged....the more perfect it is, the more you will look like 1)you tried WAY to hard and 2) you will look more like a girl than a cool guy. Draw a thick line above (and below if you want to) the eye and smudge it. and if this piece of advice doesn't help just look at pictures of the new jared leto, that should give you some idea.


good luck!
