Ancient Egyptians used a type of eyeliner called kohl to protect their eyes from sunlight. This is very important, due to the fact that Egypt has a lot of sun, and direct sunlight can often be very harmful.

It was to protect the sensitive skin around the eyes and keep it cool in the hot sun.

Egyptians wore eyeliner to make their features dark and to add interest to their faces. This was somewhat of a light deflector too in some case.
