Wearing mascara back then was not common, altough LA was a strange place. I do remember the scene that looks like some makeup is running, and I'm sure it was, but it was probably an error in filming. The mascara was probably not supposed to be a character trait, but only to make actor Downey Jr. look strung out. They put the makeup on him to give his eye's the tired and hollowed out look of a junkie and didn't catch the little smear that appeared during filming, and if they saw it during editing they probably weren't going to ask for a reshoot on a movie that likely had a limited budget considering the controversy it was causing.

I agree. His makeup was part of the culture he was involved in the clubs, the high-end parties, etc. I mean, of course it wasn't mainstream stuff, but there were plenty of circles where it was normal for guys to want to look like someone from The Cure.
Boy, if this wasn't where I put my signature, I'd really let you have it! -

There was an androgyny thing going on in the 80s; at least among musicians. Think of all those girly-looking hair bands like Poison, Prince, etc. Not saying you wouldn't get your butt kicked in high school, but I can see that being the norm in LA night life.

Lots of guys wore them, also but not only Goths. Wearing eyeliner as a guy (usually in clubs and concerts, not at school, but there were kids who did) was totally acceptable if you were part of any of the ubiquitous Post-Punk/Industrial/Gothic/New Romantic/New Wave scene back then.
(Maybe not in the Midwest)

myYep. Totally "normal" in LA. I was just a kid, but I too remember it. My parents were older, and my dad would comment on it. Thought it was just wrong, lol.
my mother was not a fan of the eyeliner either. always had to leave the house first before getting ready to club.
Prince got Apollonia wearing eyeliner so it had to be okay, right?! right?! lol

Can't believe no one's given the correct answer to the OP's question. Julian isn't bi or gay. He only wears the eyeliner when he's meeting Rip's "clients" for blowjobs. Or am I misremembering? Are there any scenes where he's just willingly wearing eyeliner for fashion reasons? Seems like something they just talked the male prostitutes into doing to make them more appealing. "Dolling them up", so to speak.

Julian needed the help because he was a mess! Only his youth would make it worthwhile! He looked greasy and worn out; sorta like a real HO! I really want a remake with all the sleazy scenes done
"to the limit!"
The sequel would be nice as well;
