My Goth style actually had a lot of Ancient Egyptian accents to it. Those barbs inside the eyes, the darkened eyes, and such. We all associate that with women only, but men did too. The dark under the eyes was to reduce sun glare...like the stripes football players wear. The Egyptian style was quite ornate though.
My current style has much Japanese style, along with the aforementioned style. (Gads I forgot the name of the Japanese style where men act as women, but maintain manly features)
I love how that black brings out my eyes, and when I combine the blue the effect is fantastic upon the blue of my eyes.
