Eye liners for males have always been there..Middle East and North African males use Kohl to line their eyes to keep it cool.

So eye liners for male is not a new concept.

Moslems of North use surma ! Even among TN wedding s அத்தை applies கண் மை to மாப்பிள்ளை - may be ஆத்து வழக்கம் ? I like the new word.Guyliner - eyeliner for guy!

Even Hindus use Surma esp for babies..leading cause of Trachoma which can lead to blindness.

I totally dislike any form of eye make up be it Kohl or eye liner or கண் மை...just cant stand it..makes me sleepyLOL
