Makeup was considered a holy thing in ancient Egypt. It was used not only to beautify oneself, but also to make oneself resemble the gods. Thus, it was a form of worship and, since many Egyptians could not afford the more elaborate forms of makeup, it was also a sign of status.
Most Egyptians would have owned a small pot of kohl, a form of black eyeliner, which was applied with a small stick. This was to make one's eyes more closely resemble the eyes of the falcon god Horus. This was believed to ward off disease and evil and make the wearer see better. In fact, it was even believed that you couldn't get into the afterlife if you weren't wearing your makeup! For this reason, kohl pots were frequently placed in tombs.
Many Egyptians also decorated their eyes with a green eyeshadow made from malachite. Castor oil and sesame oil were rubbed into the skin to fight wrinkles. Powdered red clay called ochre served as blush. Some Egyptians used henna to dye their hair and paint their nails.
