Reader Kirstin likes her man's makeup and sent us this awesome request:

I was thinking to myself today that I haven't seen many options for guyliner/guy's makeup out there. I know there's no way in hell my guy would dress up without his makeup on for the big day, but I'd kind of like him to wear something other than his everyday eyeliner. Do you think we could have a superficial snack of awesome guy makeup?
– Kirstin

Hell yes we can. I found some good examples from the Offbeat Bride archives, a couple of YouTube gurus, and of course, some celebrities rockin' the guy makeup.


YouTuber GraysonCoutts shows us the basics of priming, concealing, and contouring.


YouTuber GossMakeupArtist shares his version of grungy, glossy guyliner and bronzer. He even uses a little color on his beard to make the look even dirtier. This is definitely good for a rock look.
