  • Summary

  • Maalvika sits down with Lebanese-British journalist and author, Zahra Hankir to talk about her latest book, Eyeliner: A Cultural History. Hankir reveals the rich history of eyeliner and its role in social movements, performances, and everyday life. From ancient Egypt to modern Bollywood, there are over three thousand years of rich history she does justice by examining the place eyeliner holds in society. In this conversation, the ladies discuss Drag Queens and Cholas and men in Arabia, and how, for many, eyeliner isn’t just makeup, but an extension of who they are. Plus, two favorite topics: feminist resistance and online beauty culture.
