Makeup & Clothing~
Makeup was worn by both men and women. They carried around cosmetic cases and handbags which are very similar to today's purse. They most likely wore a black eye paint called "Kohl". The oils and creams they wore helped protect their skin from the hot Egyptian sun.
They casually wore white linen clothing because the sun was beaming hot. Women wore dresses made of the same material as the men's outfits. Linen was the most important fabric in Ancient Egypt. Egyptian linen was extremely fine material, not like the cheap linen we think of today.
