David Beckham gets lots of love for 'guyliner' cover

David Beckham has appeared on the cover of a fashion magazine sporting teal eyeshadow and smudged dark eyeliner – popularly known as ‘guyliner’.

Posing for biannual publication LOVE Magazine, the 43-year-old’s green eye makeup actually pairs perfectly with his floral neck tattoo which is visible under an open shirt.

The magazine shared the cover, together with video footage from the shoot, on Instagram with a quote from the retired footballer on his love of sport.

The cover has gone down well with fans of the magazine, with many leave positive comments alongside the Instagram post.

One person wrote, “@thelovemagazine @davidbeckham real men wear eyeshadow — and look hot af. The end” while another said, If he’s wearing eyeshadow… IM HERE FOR IT”.

Beckham has long proved a pioneer when it comes to male style trends – as throwback pictures of David and his wife Victoria Beckham are testament to.

In fact, the influence of ‘Brand Beckham’ has proved so popular that the Beckhams and their children have been referred to as ‘Britain’s second royal family’.

Late last year, the family of five posed for the October cover of British Vogue, cementing their sartorial status.

But David’s style game hasn’t always been so strong.

Past beauty and fashion moments also include cornrows, matching leather outfits with Victoria, and peroxide blonde hair.
