He had a whole clothing line geared towards the punk scene. I don't think it was hugely successful, but he was trying to capitalize on the success of AI with other products. Dead on as always. Adeline line had a clothing line some years back (mostly women if I remember) and it was surpisijgly only marginally succesfull and if memory serves it was being run mostly by Addie. 3 hours ago, emmericanidiot said: Good point, kinda sad though. I think this is definitely aimed more towards the make up obsessives and the KVD fans though, I like make up but this doesn’t really interest me as I’m cynical and I think it’s the same as any other product just with different packaging/name. Yeah, basically this To your point and back to my luggage, I will say this. While the luggage is plush and super awesome and now I know why we paid such a premium but Jules, who likes elegant things and is not afraid to spend, ahem, “our” money on such things, I’m afraid to breathe on the pink suade like pink material until sometime this year, it got a stain while in transit but the actual luggage is tip top shit! Its really good and I don’t know what other products she has from her to have wanted it so bad but it’s good shit. My point is I don’t think this Kat Von D puts her name on anything bad but also not anything cheap so I’m sure it will be good but also crazy expensive for makeup.

Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Billie has been using eyeliner since he was in the womb. I can't think of anything more fitting than a collaboration where he gets his own eyeliner. It's harmless fun and undoubtedly something really enjoyable for him. No reason for anyone to be negative about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His entire eyelid is black ffs It’s way over the top. I agree and I, again, like eye liner on certain men, including myself but just enough so you’re not even sure. I am not, not have I ever been “emo” (don’t think there was such a named genre when I was younger but maybe I’m wrong) but I’ve never loved my eyes as much as my eyebrows and when I wear JUST enough eyeliner (usually when I’m going to a rave or a GD show) I get compliments on my eyes from people at the Starbucks before the show or something which as I said has lead me to wanting to wear it casually but can’t get myself to do it. That said, I agree, I don’t like it when it’s “hey look at my eye liner” thick. Even for women. But I am one of those guys that like a girl’s face in the morning. Make up off and a fresh clean face. Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billie Joes Eyelids Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Godamn people this thread made me late for work this morning. So far every tweet I've seen on this has been super positive. I do think that it's good just in that it's keeping Billie/Green Day out there & visible. If I'm not mistaken this is the first time a major male celebrity (that I can think of) has had his own signature makeup. So that should garner some attention. Keep in mind, this is anti-precision eyeliner. So unless you want to go to work looking like you tied one on the night before, it's probably not for the "older" ladies. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumpsalty Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 It’s because he’s not just wearing eyeliner, he’s got some eyeshadow on as well, proper smoky eye thing going on! I love it hard to tell but also possibly a little contouring too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh absolutely, it's not as if he needs extra cash so I'm not sure why anyone thinks that's why he's doing it. It seems to be just a few people complaining and I remember lots being upset about John Varvatos so I guess that was higher on the Sellout Scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So auto-smudge would spare me some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, when I was 16 and on my all-time high as a fan, I had buttons, tshirts, posters and magazines, but this is different. I was flaunting that shit to myself and others. This is something you apply to your face, and unless someone happens to ask you what eyeliner you're using you're paying more just because it has "Basket Case" written on it. What if you just wrote it on the side of the pencil yourself? I don't understand. This eyeliner will be really useful to me. I have tried others in the past and each time ended up quitting, lack of motivation and satisfaction, but I know I'll have the greatest pleasure to put this one on every day once I get it. Just because it's Billie's signature, yeah The timing is excellent, I'm just about to get some help from a friend to looking better. He says I'm pretty but I don't know how to show it. That includes wearing some make up. Billie really has a knack for coming out with stuff on the right time. 5 hours ago, Billie Hoe said: Okay am I really the only one who thinks that he looks totally ridiculous with this much eyeliner?

You killed me, like if I wasn't dead enough times already 3 hours ago, LaughingClock said: Makes sense. I was just saying how Billie really hasn’t been wearing eyeliner this tour though. In fact, I usually like to wear some guy liner at shows I am not ashamed to admit (really makes my eyes pop, love it). Actually had a debate with my wife if I should bring it into everyday life but Billie has been mostly sans eye liner this tour, no? There should be no obligation, Billie has varied a lot in his wearing eyeliner during this tour. It went from not at all to almost as much as in these photos. Maybe you should just do what you feel to do every day ? I can tell that's what I'm going to do when I get that eyeliner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, his eyeliner use seemed to increase as the tour went on. I wonder if there was any conscious thought behind it, like did he wonder at first if he was past it? We did all remark that he seemed more tentative and tame onstage at the start of the tour compared to the end. At some point it did seem like he went fuck it and let loose and the hair got longer, the leaps got higher, the jokes got naughtier and the eyeliner got thicker. And thank god for all that!

I was paying entirely too much attention to this haha. As @pacejunkie punk mentioned, I believe it increased as time went on. I don't think he was wearing very much, if any, at the start of the EU tour but he definitely was by the time they came to the US. But seriously, go for it (in regards to yourself). If you're a bit nervous about it, start by wearing it when you're at shows, out on the town, that sort of thing. You can always slowly start wearing more of it. Chances are, unless your start wearing it thick, people won't be able to place why you look different, they'll just think your eyes look nice. Fuck gender norms. 1 hour ago, Kuromignonne said: There should be no obligation, Billie has varied a lot in his wearing eyeliner during this tour.

AmyxLongview Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 So... is this the eyeliner Billie wears on a regular basis now? Did he test out different formulas from KVD Beauty and chose the one he liked the best? How involved was he in creating this?! It actually doesn't even matter though, I'm buying it simply because it has his name on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like is this his ideal eyeliner or was she just like "here's what I came up with" and he was "yeah sure". It'd be real amusing if we all go out and buy this and meanwhile he keeps using an entirely different product, haha. And by real amusing I mean not at all. Not that we'd likely know.
