Eyeliner: History to Present

Archaeologists tell us that cosmetics have been in use pretty much since the advent of human beings, but the best known ancient users of cosmetics were probably the Egyptians. The builders of the pyramids were crazy about makeup. Both men and women used eyeliner made from kohl, a compound that archaeologists tell us was made from “antimony, burnt almonds, lead, oxidized copper, ochre, ash, malachite, [and] chrysocolla [blue-green copper].” Today’s eyeliners may not have nuts in them, but they still serve the same purpose as their ancient counterparts.

The ancients used eyeliner to give shape and definition to their eyes. Additionally, it helped Egyptians see better in their desert environment, absorbing sunlight the same way as the greasepaint football players spread on their cheeks during games. Over time, famous pharaohs like Cleopatra came to value eyeliner for the way it made them look beautiful rather than for any practical effect.

After the discovery of King Tut’s tomb in 1922, everything Egyptian became all the rage. Women started using kohl-based eyeliner again, and they covered their eyes in thick, black lines to look like the women they saw in Egyptian hieroglyphics. In the 1930s through the 1950s, women followed the eyeliner looks of their favorite movie stars, but the Egyptian style returned again in the 1960s. The heavy, painted look of mid-century eyeliner fashions remained through the 1980s, with new colors added to the traditional black.

EGYPT

As early as 10,000 BCE, men and women used scented oils and ointments to clean and soften their skin and mask body odor. Dyes and paints were used to color the skin, body and hair. They rouged their lips and cheeks, stained their nails with henna, and lined their eyes and eyebrows heavily with kohl. Kohl was a dark-colored powder made of crushed antimony, burnt almonds, lead, oxidized copper, ochre, ash, malachite, chrysocolla (a blue-green copper ore) or any combination thereof. (Cohen) It was applied with a small stick. The upper and lower eyelids were painted in a line that extended to the sides of the face for an almond effect. In addition to reducing sun glare, it was believed that kohl eyeliner could restore poor eyesight and reduce eye infection. (ED 370) Kohl was kept in a small, flat-bottomed pot with a wide, tiny rim and a flat, disk-shaped lid. (Carnegie Museum)
