Talmud zu Schir haSchirim 4:9

“Kohl to apply to one eye¹¹As make-up..” Rebbi Abun bar Ḥiyya said, because a woman would paint one eye with kohl and appear in public. Rebbi Abun said, even the most dissolute whore would not do this. But a woman one of whose eyes hurts paints the other with kohl and appears in public. Rebbi Mana said, did we state that she hurts? But a woman would paint one eye with kohl, cover the other, and appear in public⁹²The other eye being covered by the veil. In the Babli 80a this is noted as praiseworthy behavior.. You captured my heart with one of your eyes⁹³Cant. 4:9.. The rabbis of Caesarea in the name of Rebbi Abun bar Ḥiyya: Because a woman who is blind in one eye paints the other with kohl and appears in public.
