 Have you ever wondered what the Egyptian fashion looked like? Well if you’re interested in knowing you are reading the right essay, in this essay you will learn about make-up and minerals about clothing and clothing materials. In Ancient Egypt the most popular cloth for clothing was linen, because it was very simple. To use linen for clothing most women would fold it in half and sew the open side of it and make a dress. However, Egyptian women liked to use linen because it was easy to make a dress for them. The other reason is because linen was just a piece of boring cloth so the fun part of it was that you were able to decorate your dress yourself with beads and jewelry etc. Egyptian women always liked to be fancy so rich women would wool. Wool was expensive so you would most likely spot rich Egyptian men and women wearing wool. Wool was expensive because it would take a process to get the wool.

          The Egyptians decided that if the men or women wore make up in real life mines well put make up on his or her statue. I thought that was really interesting. The Egyptians eye shadow had a bit of suntan lotion in it so that they won’t get burn in the hot sun. I think that was really clever because now days you have to put suntan lotion on top of your make up then it will get all ruined. It was a great idea because back then they didn’t have any suntan lotion so they would have skin cancer when they get a bit older, but I’m pretty sure that they didn’t know about that.

On the other hand, the eye make-up was the most the most used make-up back then in Ancient Egypt.

          Also some of the minerals for make-up can be soot, galena, water……and even more but those are some of them. Now that you have learned a little bit about Ancient Egypt clothing, and make-up. Don’t you want to know more about Ancient Egypt? Go research, and find out more about Ancient Egypt.
