The `Now Show` did a piece ranting about the introduction of "Guyliner" & "Manscara"
Male makeup = complete No No in my book except for theatrical productions/tv etc, I've worn it for weeks at a time for Amateur Operatic stuff but never off stage. Possibly an exception to cover up some horrendous birth mark/burn.
Although to be fair I also hate
Tatoos
Piercings
etc, etc

No, please. I'm having terrible "eyeliner on men" problems.
My step daughter's chap is wearing it. They split up two years ago after two decades of money trouble. He went to live with his brother and she came home. They now see each regularly as "friends," gawd help me. It's regrettable that she is not moving on much with her life. He, more regrettably, is going back in time to their dressing up phase: back-combed hair dyed red, black clothes all way too tight, white make up and thick eyeliner. It was a bit odd when he was in his twenties and the make up was subtle. He is now forty and all subtlety is gone.
That's his problem. My wife's problem is that she can't face him and has to find things to do in other rooms when he's here. My step daughter's problem is that the make up he uses is cheap. My problem is that referring to him as the Widow Twan ky has made me an outcast.

Perfectly fine when applied properly.
Same as for girls, if it's good it just helps a natural look, if it's bad it looks daft.
I've used a bit of "slap" when going through very poorly stages to help look less washed out public. My sister in law is a make-up artist which helps with knowing what not to do!

Guyliner, manscara 
there's a whole world out there that I (thankfully) know nothing about.

However, it's not really the done thing in the world of 'normal' and I probably would stare at them with my mouth slightly open.
