Egyptian Pharaoh Lip Art ft Sugarpill & Born Pretty Store

Here's this Egyptian Pharaoh inspired lip art. I took elements of the strong contrasting colours of gold and blue seen a lot of ancient Egyptian art and tried to create the striped look of the nemes headdress or head cloth worn by the pharaohs that symbolises their power. I also wanted to incorporate the strong black eyeliner featured in the makeup, so I added the black outline and upturned corners of the mouth. I love how these lips are bright in colour and excitingly shimmery, but still dark and mysterious.

I really love ancient Egyptian imagery and I haven't dipped into that inspiration for a long time. The Bast makeup look that It’sBlackFriday uploaded a couple of weeks ago made me remember awesome look of the ancient Egyptian style and I was enticed to create this lip art.

I used to do tons of asymmetric eye looks with the eye of Ra and other god’s symbols and I'll have to bring that back into my make up entourage, and maybe make an eye tutorial.

Enjoy!

The Eye of the Serpent Lip Art ft OCC, Sugarpill & Born Pretty

The inspiration for this lip art started at one place then went in a totally different direction by the time I was finished. I was originally going for a snakeskin look with the fishnet stencil, but then I decided to stick some gold born pretty spikes and some square rhinestones and the look reminded me of an ancient civilisation’s jewel or some beautiful Indian sari design. Then I decided to name it after the The Eye of the Serpent jewel from Conan the Barbarian that they steal at the Tower of Serpents from the Temple of Set worshipers.

Enjoy!
