How to Apply Egyptian Eye Makeup

Egyptian eye makeup, also known as "kohl," has been used for thousands of years to enhance the beauty of the eyes. Here's how to apply Egyptian eye makeup:

1. Start with clean, dry skin: Wash your face thoroughly and dry it completely before applying any makeup.

2. Apply a base eyeshadow: Choose a neutral shade, such as beige or light brown, and apply it over your entire eyelid using a small, flat brush.

3. Define your crease: Take a slightly darker shade of eyeshadow and apply it to your crease, blending it outward and upward with a blending brush.

4. Apply eyeliner: Using a black kohl eyeliner pencil, draw a thick line along your upper lash line, extending it slightly past the outer corner of your eye. Then, draw a thinner line along your lower lash line.

5. Smudge the eyeliner: Use a small smudging brush to smudge the eyeliner on both the upper and lower lash lines, creating a slightly smoky effect.

6. Apply kohl: Using a kohl pencil, apply a thick line of kohl to your lower waterline (the area just above your lower lashes) and your upper waterline (the area just below your upper lashes).

7. Highlight your inner corners: Using a shimmery white or gold eyeshadow, apply a small amount to the inner corners of your eyes, near your tear ducts. This will make your eyes appear brighter and more awake.

8. Finish with mascara: Apply a few coats of black mascara to your upper and lower lashes to complete the look.

And there you have it – a beautiful, dramatic Egyptian eye makeup look!
