		Kohl was originally used as protection against eye ailments.

	Did you get Kohl for Xmas?
		Kohl was liberally applied all around the eye, sometimes extending outwards at the corners.
		This so-called cosmetic line (an exaggerated extension) that many people associate with ancient Egypt was primarily from the time of the Old Kingdom (2700 BC to 2200 BC) and was reserved for depictions of royalty or gods.
		The kohl is then applied right inside the eye by taking the stick from the inner point of the eye, running it between the eyelids from the nose outwards, and closing the eye over it as it is drawn towards the outer eye in a straight line.

		Although it is generally believed that cosmetics as they are now known originated in the Far East, the study of non-industrial cultures indicates the use of cosmetics in every part of the world.
