All Egyptians

clothing was made

out of flax, which

was grown along

the Nile river

The first thing

that they would

after it has

been harvested

is to soak it in

water until it

became soft.

Then they would separate the

soft flax and make it into its

fibers then it would be woven

into there clothing.

Clothing for me and

women where usually two

main garments-a tunic,

(either a peplos or chiton)

and a cloak (himation).

Egyptian men and women wore makeup.

They used black kohl eyeliner to line their eyes and darken their eye lashes and eye brows. They coloured their eye lids with blue or green eye shadow made from powdered minerals.

They used Hanna

dye which was used

to color there lips

and nails.

The Greek women would

wear there hair either in

braids, loosely or have

there hair arranged on the

top of there head in

ponytails. They would also

try to curl there hair and

make it blond by bleaching

it. They wanted it blond

because blond hair was

rare to have.

Ancient Grease clothing was

homemade, the same piece of

homespun fabric that was

already used as a garment, or

blanket. Grease had vase

paintings and sculptures, we can

tell that the fabrics were

intensely colored and usually

decorated with lots designs.

They mostly wore berry juice

to tint there lips and eyes,

while they used charcoal for

eyeliner.

What did they wear for

makeup?

Did everyone

wear makeup?

Yes, ladies did

wear makeup

but only lightly

because they

liked pale skin.

If you lived in Rome there a few pieces of clothing you had to

have. the things that you had to have are

these :Toga, Tunic and most

importantly, underwear.

All men had

their hair cut

short and

shaved. After

the time of

Hadrian some

men began

growing beards.

Back then men were

only allowed to wear

one piece of jewelry

and it was usually a

ring to mark wax

while sealing

documents.

The clothes they

made from leather,

wool and flax

where then used

to linen to wrap

mummies.

Both the poor and the rich

wore the same style of cloths

but the rich just wore them

in a higher quality .

Mostly anything that is

neon or lace is really in

style now. Also baggy

sweaters are really in

for when its pouring

rain and you want to

wear something comfy.

People (mostly girls) wear

makeup in there

everyday life. We wear it

because we think that it

makes us look more

beautiful.
