Eyebrows
In Egyptian makeup, the eyebrows should be large as well as prominent. To do this, use a thick black liner for the brows. The trick is really simple. You are supposed to emphasise on building an arch, but without applying any extra pressure.
After creating an arch of the brow, you need to smooth out the pencil. This move will help you achieve the desired look. Make sure the texture does not appear too clumpy. -

Eyes
Before taking any step, you need to understand that the eyes hold a lot of importance. The Eye of Horus was considered to be a symbol of power, health and protection. To create the same gorgeous look, you are required to use great amount of eyeliner both on the upper and lower eyelids.
The job is not completed yet. Start from the inner corner, and draw in one fluid motion until you touch the temple. Increase the density by repeating the same step a few times.
For a dazzling eye look, use a brush to sweep gold dust across the eyelid. The mascara lashings will make your eyes speak. -

Colour
Once you are done with the eyebrows, it is the time to colour your eyes. Green eyeshadow was really popular among the Egyptian ladies. Choice is yours, but you should try the same traditional colour.
After applying generous amount of eyeshadow to the eyelid, try to create a more gradient flow by using a mixture of eyeshadow to the area surrounding the eyelid. -

Shimmer and Final Touches
It is the time to apply lilac dust on top of the eyeshadow. If too sharp, you can soften the look by working on your lower eyeline.
After creating an even appearance, use any good foundation over your skin. Use a subtle lipstick for your lips. The final touch is giving your cheeks a reddish look by using blush on.
