When Cleopatra came to power in the 1st Century BC, Egyptian women had at their disposal
a broad spectrum of colors when in comes to their cosmetics, which were
made from rocks, minerals, and plants found in the Nile region.
Some of the materials used by Cleopatra are:
~ the bright green malachite paste of the Ancients Egyptian on her lower eyelids,
~ Kohl was used as a protection for her eyes,
~ Castor oil was used as a protective balm,
~ beeswax, olive oil and rosewater were used as skin creams.
From 5000 years ago, when Ancient Sumerian men and women were the first to wear
lipstick by crushing gemstones; the role of makeup continues to evolve over the next centuries.
Here are some of the things that women said about their makeup:
Makeup should never be used to hide yourself.
It should be used to enhance your natural beauty.

May your foundation match your neck,
Concealer be creaseless,
and winged eyeliner be sharp enough to kill.
Amen

Makeup is used to highlight your face,
not to hide it.

Makeup is passion.
Makeup is expression.

If your sad, add more lipstick and attack.

Makeup is not a tool meant to make
an ugly thing beautiful.
It is meant only to magnify the beauty
that already exists

and can be pretty powerful with the right makeup.
~
Makeup is self-confidence applied directly to the face.

No, it isn't because I think I'm ugly.

The best thing is to look natural, but
It takes makeup to look natural.
