kohl-lined

Smoky eye treatment

Kohl-lined describes eyes rimmed with kohl, a dark powder cosmetic traditionally made from soot or ground minerals.

The look is associated with ancient Egyptian beauty practices and Middle Eastern cultures, though it appears across many traditions: her kohl-lined eyes gave her a dramatic, mysterious look.

The term often evokes exoticism or theatrical intensity in description.
