Hermione Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 They should sell posters of the shoot. I'd buy that instead of the eyeliner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montclare Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Look what I bought today! (note for Chicagoans- it's available already at Water Tower; didn't see it at the Lincoln Park location) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel weird about this product. It just feels so ... un-Green Day. I know I know, it's a dumb feeling to have considering it's obviously exactly what they'd do since they're doing it. Of all the the products they could go all-in for ... make up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no I love it in principle, an eyeliner advertised by women and men and not aimed at a particular gender is pretty awesome and punk imo, eyeliner on men is far from mainstream accepted and this is certainly the first time I've seen a male celebrity advertise it. Smash the gender norms! And Billie in eyeliner is such a statement look (and again subversive when men wearing make up/being "girly" isn't widely accepted and he still to this day gets criticised and made fun of for it) that it feels very appropriate for it to be him. And it's a humane/ethical product which is fun and made by his friend. It's just too thick and a bit pricey for me 7 hours ago, pacejunkie punk said: Insomniac Black 😂 I love this!

It'd be one thing if he never wore eyeliner in the past 45 years of his life but he's been doing it right along regardless of trends/acceptance, etc. It's actually even more awesome that he's doing this now, long after the early 2000s trend but before it's commonly accepted for men. I actually will be buying it since I already pay a few bucks more for my normal eyeliner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be ordering it but if I walk in my local Debenhams and see it there with that display I might not be able to control myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean this ad is so pure, we know he sometimes wears make up, so it's not acting, pretending or so. Just Billie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Huh, not a fan of celebrities advertising stuff (it feels so fake 99% of time), but it's not like this is a completely unrelated product and it's most likely just a one-off. So I guess it's not something worth being too worked up about. I don't wear make-up, but I guess this is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montclare Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 It was selling pretty well. I got the fourth one, and went back 15 mins later to pick one up for a friend and another one had already sold in that time. Lots of people were looking at it.

pacejunkie punk Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I agree a black eyeliner is the perfect product for him to put his name on, he’s so associated with it. Now if he tries to sell a fragrance next I’m out of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marki. Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 It looks amazing, insomniac black I would totally buy it if the last time I bothered to put on eyeliner wasn't a year ago or so , can't justify buying it just to look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcyMoffatt Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I don't wear make-up. So, I will not buy the product. But I would love to get the display! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jengd Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I get what @Fuzz is saying but I do think, if Billie was ever going to advertise anything it should be Converse or eyeliner and I love that it's pretty out there for a guy to be advertising cosmetics, think it 's very Billie. I don't wear black eyeliner, never have but like @Hermione if I see it, I may struggle to walk past it! Want it to come with a poster of Billie & Kat with the handcuffs though.... Just a thought, if this is Insomnia black, maybe they could be Brain Stew brown and I would go for that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's even had a signature model and was on their posters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know about the signature ones and the GD ones, I have Dookie ones which I love but save for nice weather haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
