Modern Egyptians use antimony eyeliner known by the Arabic name kohl.

Ancient Egyptians used the same cosmetic, but called it msdmt (black eye paint) or sdm (to draw a line). This was made of stibium or black antimony, trisulphate of antimony calcined and powdered. Grey eye liner was made of galena (lead ore).
