A dazzling exploration of the global intersections of beauty and power. Eyeliner is a subversive and unexpectedly moving journey through streets and scenes around the world, reclaiming a fundamental aspect of our collective history.

For centuries, people have been drawn to the concept of the eye line. It is the aesthetic trademark of icons from Nefertiti to Amy Winehouse, and one of our most enduring cosmetic resources. Through the eyes of Zahra Hankir, this common product becomes evidence of the stunning diversity of cultures across time and space.

Through authentic discussions—with nomads of Chad, geishas of Japan, dancers of India, drag queens of New York, and many others—Eyeliner embraces the profound significance of the titular, especially in communities of color. It features stunning portraits by Mercedes deBellard.
