Ancient Egyptians began the use of makeup around 4000 B.C. It wasn't just the women who wore makeup. Both men and women used makeup and skin oils to protect their skins and to prevent body odour which is considered offensive to their gods and among them. The ancient Egyptians wore black eyeliner made from Galena. Galena is a lead-based mineral abundant in the desert. Soot was added to make kohl.
