Ancient Egyptians of all genders took pride in their appearance and often enhanced their looks with makeup. They used what was around them to make their products. The most popular products included Malachite (a copper ore that gave a green eye makeup colour), Kohl (used to draw thick, black lines around the eyes), Red ochre (used as rouge or lip colour), and Henna (used to stain the fingertips and toes).
