It is no surprise to know that the Egyptian ladies were the founders of eyeliners where it had a very practical use; protection from the blistering sun and the prevention of wrinkles. Eyeliners are called that simply because they are used to ‘line’ the eyes.

In other words, lining your eyes to define and enhance its look and existence. It is applied around the contours of the eye to create a variety of aesthetic illusions. Eyeliners are frequently used even more on natural make-up look.

The black and brown colours were first invented, followed by other colours, to funky effects such as glitter and metallic ones.

So whether you are donning the natural, emo, gothic, funky party animal look, eyeliners have become a ‘cosmetic staple’.


Not only have the variety of colours evolved, the position of lining your eyes have also since changed. From the top of your eyelids, to the bottom and surrounding your eyes, usually with other colours other than black or brown to create whatever you look you desire.

The most interesting thing about eyeliners… is how it has evolved throughout the centuries, from colours to where they are applied.

From The Classic Ancient


To Imitating Our feline friends...

 



Graphic Eyeliners, from square to smudge



To the colours...



And the eccentric


Eyeliners seemed to be drawn further and further away from their main area... the water and lash line.

And of course, occasionally, we have experienced this ourselves, at least once.
