HATSHEPSUT - Eyeshadow Hatshepsut is a rich, deep brown with undertones of eggplant and dark violet. The interplay of multichromal color within this base can only be described as a rainbow.Hatshepsut was the first great woman of recorded history, long before Cleopatra (quite possibly the only Egyptian ruler that most of us learn about- and ironically, Cleopatry of the Ptolemy Dynasty wasn't Egyptian, she was Greek!). Hatshepsut was the first wife and Queen of Thutmose II and on his death proclaimed herself Pharaoh, denying the old king's son, her nephew, his inheritance. She reigned for 20 years and Egypt flourished during that time. Upon her death, her nephew became her successor and proceeded to remove all evidence of her name and likeness from temple walls.More about Hatshepsut, here: http:// www.discoveringegypt.com/ hatshepsut.htm IGNIS ANTIQUITA is a permanent collection of eyeshadows inspired by the amazing, fiery, passionate, strong women who have been largely forgotten in ou
