Egyptian Beauty Queen Book by Delia Pemberton
Whether you are planning a "Cleopatra" outfit for a fancy dress party or just want to be Queen of the Nile for the day, this fun-filled book will share with you the beauty secrets of the Egyptian Queens and help you to create the essential look. Using objects from around the house and following simple instructions in the book, you can quickly make a royal robe, hair braids, a decorated head band and beautiful jewellery (bracelets and pendants based on real ancient Egyptian jewellery are supplied in a press-out section in the middle of the book). Make-up tips and recipes for fragrant lotions and potions are also included, so that you can pamper yourself in true Egyptian style. For those that want to play Queen of the Feast as well, a final section helps you plan a fabulous party with an Egyptian theme. Advice on food, decorations and invitations is given. Illustrated throughout with pictures of some of Egypt's most notable queens and real Egyptian jewellery, scent bottles and make-up palettes from the British Museum, this book should be a must-have for all those who want to look like the most famous and glamorous Egyptian queen of them all - Cleopatra!
