Modern day artists of Goth, Punk and Emo music often appeal to stylish makeup ideas to create the proper atmosphere for a show as well as to emphasize the gloomy and subtle mood of their music. However, some of them managed to popularize the trend to an extent that it became a real craze to wear eyeliner or ‘guyliners’ even paired with casual and less spectacular outfits.
