what was eye makeup used for in ancient egyptian
Burnt Almonds were used along with minerals to create eye and brow colour. They used goose fat to create cosmetic pastes. Egyptian eye make ups were packed carefully in jars, pouches or shells. The other kind of eye makeup produced by the Egyptians was derived from a dark gray ore obtained from lead. It was known as Mesdemet and could be derived from both antimony sulfide and lead sulfide. The area of Aswan was particularly rich in deposits of galena and so was the Red Sea coast.
