EP306. How 5,000 years of history turned eye makeup into a daily habit

What if your relationship with eye makeup wasn't really a personal choice, but the result of 5,000 years of history, culture, and technology? In this episode of Green Beauty Conversations , Formula Botanica CEO Lorraine Dallmeier explores how eye makeup evolved from ancient ritual and symbolism into a modern daily habit. From kohl in ancient civilisations to Hollywood close-ups and today's social media beauty standards, this episode reveals how eye makeup became normalised – and why so many people feel more "put together" with mascara on. If you feel like you can't leave the house without "putting your face on", this episode is for you.
