For a seductive smokey eye, look no further than Eye of Horus. Born in Byron Bay, makeup brand Eye of Horus has delved into the wonders of Ancient Egypt. Launched in 2012, the colourful cosmetic brand already boasts amazing success in its short lifespan.
The range was designed to awaken the goddess within every woman, unleashing their natural beauty by enhancing rather than disguising.
Based on age-old formulas used by the Ancient Egyptians to beautify themselves, there is a strong focus on theatrical eyes. Sacred ingredients such as Organic Moringa Oil, coined the “Oil of the Pharaohs”, are used for their rich and regenerative powers. The brand is synonymous with the beguiling mystique of the Egyptian Queen, Cleopatra.
