In support of the BP exhibition Sunken cities: Egypt’s lost worlds 19 May – 27 November 2016
Today’s make up review is sold in the prestige British Museum’s shops. Pretty impressive. Make up and art collide with the British Museum’s collaboration with ‘Eye of Horus’, a famous award-winning international cosmetic brand. Loved by the media worldwide and many celebrities, this illuminating essential range of eye makeup is based on formulas of the Ancient Egyptians, the originators of beauty and mystique, with sacred ingredients including Organic Moringa Oil “Oil of the Pharaohs”, claimed by the gods for its beautifying and regenerating powers and the ancient oil of Castor Oil. This gorgeous cosmetics range has a huge following and has been featured in magazines such as Vogue UK.
The range was designed to “Awaken The Goddess Within every woman by enhancing her natural beauty”; is available in a range of vivid colours inspired by the ancient Egyptians; and is paraben free, not tested on animals, made with natural ingredients and vegan friendly.
I started by reviewing the luminous isis ombre shadow palette. It comes in great packaging which has a mirror and an applicator brush. It has three shades: enigma myst, chalice bronze and sacred husk. These are gorgeous shimmering metallic shades signed specifically for the Sun Goddess. The shades are beautiful and blend together perfectly. They can be used dry or wet and are long-lasting. These are deeply pigmented, long wearing crease-proof eyeshadow palettes, to deliver everyday brilliance. When water-activated, shadow colours transform to be more intense and radiant if desired. Available in Isis Bronze, Sheba Plum, Matt Brown and Steel Charcoal palettes – £22.50 each. www.britishmuseumshoponline.
Next up I reviewed the Imperial Bronze Liquid Metals eyeliner. It goes on easily and really makes my brown eyes pop. These excellent Liquid Metallic Eyeliners have a precise, felt-tipped applicator that delivers illuminating metallic mineral pigment effortlessly onto the eyelids for smudge free, long lasting impact. These are available in four colour-ways including: Alchemy Gold, Ancient Pewter, Imperial Bronze and Sphinx Copper. The Liquid Metal range is the perfect eyeliner to see in both the high summer and the autumn cool with their seasonal metallic tones to illuminate the eye. They have an extra smooth formula through blending the glimmering liquid pigment you can create a bright, smokey finished look. I am a fan.
Eye of Horus Liquid Metal Eyeliners are now available to buy on www.beautybay.com as well as in store at the British Museum Shop and online at www.britishmuseumshoponline.
