The black eye makeup that Egyptian women used was called
kohl. It was made from a mixture of ground minerals, including galena, stibnite, and charcoal. Kohl was applied to the eyes as a thick line, both on the upper and lower lash lines. It was believed to protect the eyes from the sun and ward off evil spirits.
It's important to note that the term "kohl" is a general term for black eye makeup, and the exact ingredients and methods of application varied depending on the time period and social class.
