Ancient Egyptians Invented Eyeliner—But It Wasn’t Just for Beauty!

Over 5,000 years ago, ancient Egyptians lined their eyes with kohl, but not just for aesthetics! Their eyeliner had three powerful purposes:

🖤 Health Benefits – The lead-based formula helped prevent eye infections and reduced sun glare.
👁 Spiritual Protection – Inspired by the Eye of Horus, kohl was believed to ward off evil spirits.
💎 Status Symbol – Both men and women wore eyeliner, but bolder designs signified wealth and power.

From Cleopatra’s cat-eye to today’s winged liner, this 5,000-year-old trend is still making a statement! Would you rock an Egyptian-style liner? ✨
