Welcome to Gaia! ::

I used to make my eyes looks Egyptian last year, but since then I kind of lost the interest to do it again, lol. But if I find that picture I'll show you.

I wear Egyptian jewellery though.

i use to put on the eye makeup, but a little toned down and lines not much past the lashes out the side, to try and make it not too noticable. : can never really keep up with putting on makeup tho sweatdrop

edit: eh that doesnt sound right the way i worded it but i hope you get what i mean.... why am i awake? -_-

I might wear my make up like that... but not as wild....... I do some of that when i so art/makeup/ body paintings....

I can't wear any cosmetics... It hurts my skin too much. sweatdrop And if I could, I'd go lightly on it anyways... Although I apparently look catlike enough to pull off wearing heavy kohl and the like...

I'm all for Egyptian-type jewelry and symbols, though. 3nodding

Since I'm classified into the "goth" stereotype and style of dress, I can wear pretty much whatever I feel like, makeup, jewelry, or otherwise, and no one thinks it out of the ordinary. cool But I don't do it often unless I have time to spend on my appearance in the morning, since because of early band rehearsal I usually wind up falling out of bed, throwing jeans and a hoodie on, grab some jewelry off the desk, and put on some mascara and eyeliner before racing out the door.

But I do have an Eye of Horus pendant on a chain that I never take off. It's gotten to the point that I feel insecure without it gonk

I'm all for the Egyptian jewelry, too! The handy thing is that there are many symbols and designs which are meaningful, but not widely known- so I can still wear cultural and religious symbols without giving up my preference for subtlety. As a Pagan growing up in the Deep South, I also found that a small golden ankh was far less conspicuous than the pewter pent I used to wear when I was Wiccan. Ever notice how nearly all Pagan or occult jewelry is silver? And a great deal of it is pretty huge, too... Wear something small and gold and people don't even look twice (unless they're Pagan, and know that you are... I got a few double takes from folks who thought I'd converted, lol!). xd



I had a bronze Skhmt pendant which I used to wear all the time- even in the shower and through the night. It was fine for a while, but then my chest started feeling- and looking- sunburned. Underneath my clothes! eek It was a while before I connected it to the amulet, but once I did and I stopped wearing it for a while the burn was able to heal. So then I started thinking that perhaps it wasn't a good idea to have such a powerful solar goddess strapped around my neck all the time... I put the amulet away for several weeks before wearing it again, and these days when I wear it it's only for the day. It comes off when I shower, and goes on the altar overnight.

I also have a beautiful Bast pendant which hasn't given me any problems, though. These days I take it off and put it on the altar overnight out of habit, but I'm sure I could wear it if I ever needed any extra protection through the night.

I also have some earrings which resemble stylized solar disks with rays, and a pair of hematite earrings carved into the shape of the ma'at-plinth (not the feather, the plinth). They're my two favorite pairs, and only someone who really knew me and really knew their egyptology would be able to spot the significance.

Lol I tried making myself look egyptian, as you an see in my sig...yeah I don't own makeup so I had to use camo-compac as a substitute. Stuffs a b***h to get off
