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.

The name "Ignis Antiquita" is beautifully representative of the sentiment behind this collection. It is Latin, and translates to English as "Ancient Fire" or "Fire of Old". Ignis is fire- as it relates to the fiery spirit and passion. Antiquita is old, ancient, time-honored, revered, primeval. The collection features women from ancient times, spanning many cultures and areas. While not everyone spoke Latin, it is undoubtedly one of the most widely spoken languages of the ancient world, which many current day languages are rooted in.
APPLICATION TIPS: These colors apply best over a light layer of primer, patted or brushed gently. The effects of the colors become muted if you use heavy primer or a strong glue/epoxy type of primer- or foiling. Best effects are achieved with a light layer of a primer such as Nyx or Two Faced eyeshadow primer. Repeated brushing or buffing will also mute the chromatic effects. You can use them without primer, but the chromatic effects will be more delicate and only visible in certain lighting.

IGNIS ANTIQUITA is a permanent collection of eyeshadows inspired by the amazing, fiery, passionate, strong women who have been largely forgotten in our history books, or had their histories revised due to the fact that they were women. Historically seen as the weaker sex, women were typically unable to contribute to politics, academia, science, or war.
