My gf can drive, can yours?

Nah, his gf is too young to get a driver’s licence.
What GF would ge have?
How did you know he’s from Saudi Arabia, the only country who had that law that has nothing to do with islam?
Dude’s probably living in the west, enjoying what the west have to offer, and never look at the middle east 💀
This has to be bait.
That’s like keying your own car.
Society just got a tiny bit worse
Either that’s ai image or dude is rocking some concealer
I’m not a makeup enjoyer but I think that’s eyeliner on his lower lid, no?
It’s called kohl, and it’s been around as eye protection from the sunrays and bacterial infections for a long time. Nowadays it’s kind of a cultural holdover more than anything for both men and women in Middle Eastern and North African countries.
Good to know that when I’m doing my raccoon eyes, I’m getting an additional layer of protection from the sun!
I always just assumed those cultures, along with Captain Jack Sparrow, just did it because it looks cool.
The more you know! 🌈🌟
Oooh, ok. That’s interesting, I’ve noticed it for years on other people and always wondered. So is it actually touching the eye, then?
It honestly depends on the person and culture.
Like if you look at Ancient Egyptian or Mesopotamian art, they are depicted with it around their eyes (like eyeshadow + concealer today). Greeks probably wore it more like eyeliner, if we go by amphora depictions.
Modern day you have people wearing it just as a thin line around both eyelash lines, or on the waterline (the inside part of your eyelash line that touches your eyeball). Some people just do the outer corner of the eye, some draw dots on the eyelid. A lot of these techniques may have had cultural/tribal importance too that have been lost to time, but the aesthetic remains.
I don’t know how people do it the waterline though, my eyes tear up just thinking about it.
You’ve helped detail what I thought was just a trend in makeup, thank you. I haven’t ever put makeup on myself, outside of a few plays when I was a kid/teenager, so I’m right there with you.
Do you happen to know what it’s typically made of? I’m reading it’s traditionally made by grinding up stibnite into a powder, but I’m also wondering if that’s true because stibnite is supposed to be toxic. I would imagine it would be bad to put on your eyes like that, no?
Stibnite is the traditional ingredient, but I’m not sure if that’s used nowadays (at least I hope not!) I know in rural communities homemade kohl can have a charcoal base. But I think most are just using store bought stuff which (hopefully) adhere to product safety standards!
Some people legitimately have eyes like that. You turn him up if you just Google “Lost actor with the eyes”.
But those are just dark eyelashes, I’m talking about the solid black line sitting on their lower lids.
Hope someone has realized this… But the fact that there is a comparison of middle east women’s rights with United States women’s rights is extremely concerning.
Or the treatment of homosexuals

IDK man I get to choose not to black bag myself for easy government rendition, at least for now. Can women living under men implementing Islam say the same?
(Of course not, they don’t get to talk outside the home, silly!)
