Queen of the Nile Cleopatra Tutorial
Hi there! I’ve got a Queen of the Nile Cleopatra Tutorial for you. I used Inglot and NARS for the eyes, but I got very creative for the face. I based my look off of the Inglot Cleopatra Tutorial.
Pr + purchased by me.
Queen of the Nile Cleopatra Tutorial
How to Achieve the Look
- Apply Inglot 155 to lid.
- Using the Goss 6 brush, apply Inglot 345 to the crease, blending upwards onto the browbone.
- Using the Goss 6 brush, apply Inglot 473 at the outer crease, blending upwards and inwards a bit.
- Using the Goss 5 brush, apply Inglot 338 to the outer crease, blending inwards and upwards.
- Line along your upper lash line, lower lash line and waterline with NARS Black Valley. Extend the shape out into a fish tail, leaving the center empty.
- Fill in the fish tail with NARS Iskandar. Pat Inglot 155 on top of it.
- Highlight under brows and at inner corner with Pixi Fairy Dust. Add mascara. (or use false lashes!)
For the Face
- Start by applying your favorite face primer.
- Apply a bronzing foundation. I used Joppa Minerals Citrine.
- Add blush to your cheeks. I used bareMinerals The Many Splendors (review coming soon! Love this!)
- Contour your nose and face. I used Nyx Taupe.
- Highlight your face. I used Too Faced Candlelight duo.
- Set with powder. I used NARS Light Reflecting Loose Setting Powder.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my Queen of the Nile, Cleopatra! I hope someday I end up getting a costume, because I really like the makeup. I need to do more creative eyeliner. I had a lot of fun with this today.
Love this look! This would be an amazing way to spruce up the cheapy costumes sold at the store and make yourself really stand out!
I agree! It was a fun makeup look to try.
