Walk Like An Egyptian

Makeup Geek are having a competition to create a makeup look inspired by Ancient Egypt, so I thought I'd show you my entry...



I've been fortunate enough to travel to Egypt a few times now and I absolutely LOVE IT!! I love the country, the people, the culture...but most of all I love the mysticism of the whole place. I'm in love with ancient Egypt!! I've been in the Pyramids and Temples and sailed down the Nile and it's incredible even today. But if ever I invent a time machine I would like to travel back and see it in it's hey day, in all it's glory. I'm slightly embarrassed to say, but one of my favourite films is The Mummy haha. I watch it over and over again...Oh dear!! Anyway, inspired by the treasures and hieroglyphs I came up with this look...




I changed it a little part way through as I didn't think it was really wow enough, so I added a few more gems to bling it up a bit ;)



Ok, Ok, you can stop laughing at the thought of me inventing a time machine now!! I've just told you my favourite film is The Mummy, I'm well aware of my limitations haha...




Anyway, hope you like the look as much as I liked creating it. And I hope some of you lovely ladies are also going to enter...I'd love to see your looks :D

Speak Soon xx
