He took his character from Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. If you have seen or want to check any photos of Richards you'll notice he usually uses alot of eye liner. Johnny Depp probably just went a bit over board for his character.

Pirate! As Johnny Depp put it, they were the rock stars of their day, so that's why it's done that way. He's playing it like a rock star. I think it's cool. This isn't a documentary it's an entertainment film.

It's not eyeshadow, it's eyeliner (big difference). And he's not gay - he's always hitting on women, not men. I think he wore the eyeliner because he thinks it makes him look more intimidating. Pirates used to do stuff to make them look scarier to the ships they were attacking (for example, Blackbeard put lit fuses in his beard). I think he's just trying to look scary - but he looks pretty damn hot!
