This goth look isn’t new on the scene; pseudo rocker Pete Wentz got sh%t when he started wearing guyliner years back. So it’s only fitting that the correct application technique come from the horse’s mouth. Check out the video below. Or, if this trend isn’t your thing, at least take away this tip: for eyeliner that won’t fade, try
