For the Cut’s Global Beauty week, we sent photographers around the world to find out what makes the women of one city look distinctive from another.

The women of Cairo just make it look easy. Whether it’s a bold kohl cat-eye, an artful swoop to the hair, or messy curls, they have an effortless and casualness to their beauty looks. For the next stop on our global beauty tour, photographer Abdallah Sabry captured the easy hair, cool sunglasses, and strong eyeliner looks on the streets of the Egyptian city. Click through our slideshow to see the results.
