SEPT JOHNNY DEPP.jpg    ...AND MANSCARA?

Yep, that's what I thought when leafing through the Metro half asleep this morning.

The paper detailed the story that Superdrug is selling a male eyeliner -- known as Guy Liner -- under the Taxi Man label.

Previously a long-standing accessory for punks, goths and now emos -- it is the first time the store has sold colour cosmetics for men.

Futher investigation shows that The Mirror also runs the story about the range -- which also includes Manscara -- which goes on sale in stores next week.

It reads: "The Taxi Man range includes Manscara, mascara for men, and Guy-Liner, for men which chunkier fingers, to use.

Superdrug which launches the range on 6 August, said sales of male grooming items had doubled since 2005.

Superdrug's Jeff Wemyss said: "Men are more obsessed with their appearance than ever,"

Celebrities Russel Brand, Alex Zane and Robbie Williams all admit using eyeliner.

Taxi Man creator Peter Kelly said: "It all about subtle makeup rather than wanting to create the drag queen look".
