“Eye makeup never looked so good on a man. In the latest installment of Pirates of the Caribbean, Johnny Depp trowels on more black eyeliner than a Kabuki dancer. . . . and he is not the only man calling for more kohl. Lately, eyeliner — that little slick of dark paste — has acquired a new, more-masculine and more-marketable name: ‘Guyliner.’ Tobey Maguire wears it in Spider-Man 3. Fall Out Boy bassist and Chicago rocker Pete Wentz gave a step-by-step demonstration on People magazine’s Web site recently, showing the uninitiated how to affix it.” — Chicago Tribune, June 4, 2007.
