Aging Cure fans and Russell Brand copycats rejoice: High-street chemist Superdrug recently announced that it is launching a range of make-up products for men, starting with 'Guyliner' -- which, predictably, is eyeliner. For guys.Now let us say right away that Asylum is by no means threatened by this shift in the gender border. Not at all. No way. We're totally fine with guys in make-up. It's all part of life's rich tapestry.
Still, we are a little worried by the news, mainly because if the idea goes mainstream then we'll all have to do it, and that's going to add 15 minutes to our morning routine. We can barely get out of the house on time as it is -- we don't think we could fit in a daily makeover too.
Our second problem is that, no matter how great eyeliner looks on Robert Smith and Johnny Depp, on most men it looks completely terrible. Take a look at our gallery of guyliner mistakes below, and take heed: the world may not be ready for your ugly face in make-up.
Guys Guide to Guyliner
DEADBEAT or DANDY? When it comes to finding a guyliner look, the first question you have to answer: "Do I want to look like I'm possibly addicted to heroin or probably addicted to snuff and concealer?"
KISS MY ASCOT: We thought the 80s retro trend had left Falco in the dust. We were wrong.
The ROCK-OVER: There's only one way to convincingly pull off a rock 'n' roll combover -- a pencil-thin line under your eyes and a black dust-mop glued to your scalp.
OH, THE HORRRORS: Is there anything quite as a frightening as a gangly goth-punk trying to convince you how volatile his band is?
HOW LOW CAN YOU NAVARRO? When you want to look like a washed-up rocker and you've got a bottle full of Maybelline, there's only one way to go.
OK, DON'T GO: Be warned, you go to the gym wearing eyeliner, you end up looking like you just walked off a Barbara Walters special.
EDDIE'S CHOICE: When you can't decide if you want to look like Eddie Munster or Uncle Fester, pick one and just go for it.
THE BIANCA: When you want to look like Mick Jagger's ex-wife, you know what to do.
Teegan or Sheena? It's a little bit indie, a little bit Sheena.
LA CHEWBACCA: Are you a space dog or a hyper-macho Frenchman? Only you know for sure.

I SUPPOSE THAT THIS CRAP MIGHT MAKE ONE WANKER MORE "ATTRACTIVE" TO ANOTHER WANKER. THEY MIGHT FEEL LIKE THEY ARE PORKING AN ALIEN FROM "STAR TREK" OR SOMETHING ELSE EXOTIC. IF YOU WANT TO ADVERTISE TO THE WORLD THAT YOU ARE A QUEER LITTLE BUGGER, THIS IS AN EFFECTIVE METHOD.

when you think about it, in the animal and bird world it's the male that normally has all the colours and fancy dress....seems to be the oposite for the humans....a wee bit paint and sparkle adds beauty to a lass....but.....guys???....naaaaaaah..fags.
