I highly suggest looking at Dereannas post , it's called Halloween eye makeup! It's GORGEOUS! And very Cleo esque!

It's intended to be Princess Jasmine makeup but It could easily work for Cleopatra too!

Ahhhh imma be cleopatra too!!( or something close to her at least lol) and I'm juts doing dramatic eyeliner in a batman wing and 3 dots on 1 side of the eye and a rep lippie. You can also do something like a cut crease except with juts eyeliner. That would be gorgeous but I don't have enough skill to do it:p
May I ask what you're wearing?

Hi. so last year I did makeup for our drama department and I was a signed Cleopatra. for her we used a gold eyeliner and brought if far out by her temple and then pt a teal blue right above the gold liner. also we gave her a red lip. It looked really good.

You also can't go wrong with the classic Elizabeth Taylor Cleopatra. :)

Blues and golds definitely and make sure you do eyeliner as kohl was a signature look for the Egyptians

Depends if you are going for accuracy or more of the Elizabeth Taylor version c:
Cleopatra most likely only used black kohl with maybe blue or purple on the lid/ browbone and heavy heavy heavy blusher :)
I'm an Egyptologist :D

Leigha is absolutely right. Evidence suggests that Egyptians used makeup to prevent infections, not just for beauty.

That's so cool that you're an Egyptologist! That's what I wanted to be (the reason I was studying archaeology). Major envy here!
