It’s too ordinary for ladies to wear makeup, why not apply some for the gentlemen? A common, hot trend these days in the Kpop industry is guy-liner — yep, 1cm thick!

The new smoky make-up style are now adopted by popular male idol groups like Big Bang, 2PM, BEAST, U-KISS. Recent care in the fashion and beauty have resulted in “grooming” idols and thicker make-up.

Big Bang’s T.O.P brought the popularity of the eyeliner among male idols by looking more bolder and stronger. While Big Bang were doing individual activities, 2PM, BEAST, MBLAQ, ZE:A and U-KISS also brought their own style of “bold eyeliner.” Singer Rain himself draw attention by sporting a bolder look with his dashing eyelashes.

We know that in dramas, actors focus on flashing their chocolate abs. Meanwhile for the artists, fans are won over by both the abs and thick eyeliner worn by the ‘Beastly Idols.’ For 3-4 minutes, the singers have to show off a strong performance, especially for the beastly idols who have become the trend for the entertainment business.

For male idols, their makeup is one of their attractive points. The old stereotype that “Men who wear makeup are indecent” is broken and now, ” Men also have the right to become beautiful.”

What do you think, Ningin? Is ‘guy-liner’ hot or not?
