Beauty! We all look for beauty in our lives, we appreciate, admire them, and we can not live without it. We are looking for beauty in nature, art, and most important in our home with us. People say that beauty comes from within, if this is true, then why care so much about women wearing makeup? Make-up is the greatest invention for women, because it gave them the opportunity to improve their appearance and become more beautiful, that's what I Aspire. Women wantnice for two reasons: first, self-realization, and second, to be more attractive, lifts their spirits and gives them overwhelming joy. This is true not only for women today, but for centuries.
The trick is as old as the pyramids of Giza, the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the World, and the only one still largely intact. The first round of make-up appeared in Egypt 4000 years ago. Could it be that the art of make-upexisted before the Egyptians, but no written history takes us back in time.
Fashion and personal appearance was a high priority among the ancient Egyptians. Face painting was a part of daily life and rituals of the Egyptians. Make-up was male and female, young and old, worn, poor and rich. The fees for the time and hired painters rich face, apply their makeup for them. Those who could not afford a painter turned their face.
If you look throughone of the portraits of the ancient Egyptians, who are painted on the walls of temples and tombs in Egypt, you will notice that they are all meticulously decorated with carefully outlined eyes and consistently. It 'almost impossible, a portrait of an old Egyptian whose eyes are not decorated. During all periods and dynasties, eye makeup was a daily requirement for both men and women. Not only men and women wear makeup Egypt, but also the statues of their godsand goddesses were adorned with all these different types of cosmetics.
Eye Make-up is definitely the symbol of ancient Egyptian make-up style, were black and green colors used in the main. The eye was made of carbon, the almond shape, which has become synonymous with the ancient Egyptians to create. Kohl, who is black color was obtained from Galena, a naturally occurring mineral. They also used the color green for the eyes. The color green has been built with a greenPigment called malachite, a copper ore.

To paint your nails and hair color of their customs, ancient Egyptian henna, a dye made from the leaves and stems of the henna plant, is native to tropical and subtropical regions of Africa receive.
The ancient Egyptians used make-up not onlyfor aesthetic reasons but also for medicinal and spiritual purposes. Ancient Egyptian physicians prescribed the use of coal to prevent eye disease. It 'was used for its antiseptic properties. Kohl has also provided a shield for your eyes against the sun and a chilling effect on flies.
The green eye make-up was used by ancient Egyptians believed that induce or evoke the Eye of Horus, the god of the sky and the Sun, the protection that has made them available. It also considers that the protected green eye make-upagainst the evil eye as well.
Make-up was also important in the afterlife. Egyptians so much on how to present themselves to the gods during the Judgement of the Dead. They wanted to make sure that their appearance was at his best, to give the gods on this day a good impression. For this reason, the eye makeup and equipment (palettes, grinders, applicators) are among the first burials are found in pre-dynastic period, and continued this practicethe following dynasties.
You can not talk about makeup and beauty in ancient Egyptian times without mentioning the beautiful Nefertiti (whose name means beauty has come), which is the royal consort of the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten. It is said that even in the ancient world, its beauty was known. The statue of the bust, the 3300-year-old is one of the most famous pieces of Egyptian history. Through his bust of Nefertiti has become an icon of feminine beauty. The bust of the legendaryNefertiti in the Berlin Museum as part of the Egyptian collection.
It 'so amazing that some of these things are used today. Kohl is still available and is used in many Arab countries. Henna is also used to dye hair and tattoos.
Some things never change!
