Cleopatra Makeup

The image of Cleopatra, who lived in Ancient Egypt, inspires many modern makeup artists to create bright thematic makeup. The classic makeup in the style of the ancient Egyptian queen is perfect for a party, but some of its details can be safely used on a daily basis.

The image of Cleopatra is one of the most recognizable in world culture. The queen was famous for her beauty, as well as her ability to conquer men. Cleopatra's makeup has several distinctive features:

• perfectly even skin tone;
• neat curly eyebrows;
• long arrows on the eyes;
• pale lips with a clear outline.

To create traditional makeup in the style of the Egyptian queen, a fairly large range of cosmetics is used.

• Tone cream. The ruler of Ancient Egypt paid a lot of attention to skin care. She believed that a perfectly even porcelain complexion speaks of a noble origin of a person. A high-quality foundation will help to even out the skin tone of a modern girl. It is best to choose a brightener for the job.

• Transparent powder. This product is used to set makeup. It also helps to make the skin glowing. In addition to him, a highlighter can also come in handy for a girl.

• Shadows. Classic Cleopatra style makeup is done using turquoise eyeshadows. If such a product is not at hand, it can be replaced with a blue or green pigment.

• Eyeliner. To draw arrows, you can use both a classic pencil and liquid eyeliner.The product must be of very high quality and persistence. Otherwise, bright makeup will smudge.

• Mascara. As a rule, a girl has several types of mascara in her cosmetic bag. For this type of makeup, you should use a product that maximizes the volume of your eyelashes. It is desirable that it be waterproof. You can also replace mascara with false eyelashes. They should be long and fluffy. Eyelashes are glued not only on the upper eyelid, but also on the lower one.

• Pomade. Since in this image the emphasis is on the eyes, it is customary to paint the lips with light lipstick. In addition to her, a lip liner can also be useful to a makeup artist. It should be several shades darker than lipstick.

Before you start painting, you need to thoroughly cleanse your face. The skin should be smooth and well hydrated. In this case, the cosmetics will lie on it in an even layer. To keep the makeup on your skin longer, you can pre-treat it with a primer. The step-by-step process for creating Cleopatra-style makeup consists of the following steps.

• The first step is to apply foundation to your skin. Don't try to lighten or darken your skin. It is best to do your makeup naturally. The foundation must be fixed with powder. After that, it is worth applying a little blush under the cheekbones, and also shading them thoroughly.

• Next, you need to move on to eye makeup. First you need to draw the eyebrows. They should be made clear and even. For coloring eyebrows, you can use a pencil or special shadows. If they are unruly, the hairs can be fixed with a clear gel.

• Beige or gold shadows should be applied to the moving eyelid. The fold above the eyelid is stained with a lighter pigment. The area above the moving eyelid is painted over with turquoise shadows. They must be carefully shaded. The color should be bright and uniform. Finally, the area under the eyebrow must be painted over with light shadows. This will make the look more expressive.

• Then you can start drawing the arrows. This is the most important part of Cleopatra style makeup. You can use liquid eyeliner or black pencil to create arrows. The line shouldn't be too thin. As a rule, the arrows extend beyond the eye by a few centimeters. Depending on the features of your appearance, the black line can be either straight or slightly raised. The lower eyelid should also be drawn with a pencil.

• When the eyeliner is dry, you need to paint over the eyelashes with mascara. They should be thick and voluminous. If a girl's eyelashes are naturally very rare and light, then you can use false eyelashes.

• The last step is lip coloring. They can be either pink or beige or golden. The contour of the lips should be outlined with a pencil. In this case, the makeup will look more impressive.

After finishing with makeup, the look in the style of the ancient Egyptian queen should be supplemented with suitable accessories. It is best to use gold jewelry for this purpose. These can be bulky earrings, bracelets or pendants. Modern Cleopatra should pay attention to jewelry with blue or green stones. You can also complement the image with golden sparkles or small rhinestones that are glued in the corners of the eyes or under them.
