For this week's Fashion Face-off, I'm going to go with men wearing eyeliner--also known as "guyliner." The male characters in kdramas often wear noticeable makeup (the OBVIOUS lipliner in a few dramas being the worst example), and guyliner has become something of an immediate indicator that a character is extra broody. As someone who mostly wears makeup for weddings and Halloween, I have to admit that seeing men outdoing my efforts in the makeup category is sometimes unnerving, but I've gotten to a point where I can handle it.
There were a lot of options in the guyliner category. I tried to choose characters who consistently rock it as an integral part of their persona. So, in the battle of the guyliner, who wore it best? Or, if you don't love the guyliner, who pulls it off the most convincingly?
Contender 1: Joo Byung-hee from Shut Up Flower Boy Band
There is plenty of guyliner in this series, but we have to single out Joo Byung-hee because the guyliner is part of his soul. Just read the subtitle in the screencap below:

| That's right: the man basically has a guyliner manifesto. That's gotta be worth some credit, right? |
Contender 2: Min Tae-yeon in Vampire Prosecutor
As noted in my review of this series, the vampire elements aren't always at the forefront of the show. That being said, the amount of guyliner on everyone's favorite blood-sucking prosecutor seems to be directly proportional to how vampire-ish he is being that day. Does this mean that when he goes home to sulk in his fancy apartment, he stops to apply eyeliner first?

| Sitting in a gigantic leather chair is just about the most vampire-ish thing you can possibly do. That would explain the smokey eye. |
Contender #3: Hwang Tae-kyung in You're Beautiful
We get it. You're emotionally constipated because you have a mean mom. You're also in a band. All of this naturally leads to a guyliner addiction. We would do the same.
 |
| We don't know what you're doing either, but it seems to be working. |
Contender #4: Vick in Iris
Sometimes we have to recognize that the villains are just as stylish as the good guys. Just because T.O.P.'s character likes to kill people shouldn't invalidate his use of guyliner, okay? In fact, maybe it makes it more justifiable.

Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity, I can help you solve any problem you are having
