Egyptians were very particular about their eye makeup, or kohl. Popular shades of kohl up were black and green. The green color was made of malachite, an oxide of copper. Black kohl was called galena. Both malachite and galena were ground on a palette with gum or water to make a paste. It was applied with sticks which were round ended and were made of wood, glass or bronze.

Also, henna was used to color hair, lips and nails.
