Hey does anyone have or know how/ where to obtain information on Ancient Egyptian Cosmetics. I'm doing a chemistry project on re-creating ancient egyptian cosmetics, but I cant really find a lot on the topic...also it doesnt help that our dippy teacher tells us when the projects do a week before hand...

I found this one:
http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/stories/s18834.htm
I've also heard that eyeshadow was made of semi-precious stones like turquoise or malachite.

Yay! Thank you very much! I hate science projects. My chemistry teacher never tells us anything, and we learn squat. I didn't know about the project or when it was due until the 5th which is one week before it's due!!!

One title could be: "The Making of Ancient Cosmetics" or "The 411 on Making Ancient Cosmetics" or "The process of making Ancient Cosmetics"
Hope these help!

Bristol University's Archaeology team actually discovered a pot of Roman face cream at a site, and then used the remainder to recreate it. It was comprised of boiled fat (to make it greasy), plant sap and lead oxide distillate. Sounds great!
