Known as kohl, ancient Egyptians put lead in what cosmetic?

Answer Eyeliner

Ancient Egyptians may have been poisoning themselves through their eyeliner, but at least they looked good doing it. Scientists believe the Egyptians used lead around the eyes to protect from eye diseases. And according some, they may have been on to something, as lead does indeed cause cells to stress, sending immune-building compounds to the affected area. Still, don't try it at home, kids.
