Why was makeup important in ancient egypt ?

Hello there!

Let’s use an example, shall we? Cleopatra was considered to be the most extravagant and gorgeous Egyptian queen of all time. She had luxurious beauty treatments and was indeed, quite beautiful. Not only was makeup used back then to enhance their features and to just, well, look better, lol. But the makeup they used was also believed to have medical benefits to the skin with minerals.

Hope this helps some and good luck!
