La Parisienne aka 'The Minoan Lady' from Knossos, 1450-1300 BCE

"The pigments used to colour the face and eyes were evidently ground on specially made rectangular stone palettes and later in stone bowls. The priestess known as ‘La Parisienne’ is obviously wearing heavy make-up (Figure 46). The eye is enlarged and emphatic and the arc of the eyebrow is exaggerated; some sort of black eye-liner must have been used to create this impression. The lips too have been emphasized with rouge. To help with this beautification, the Minoans used mirrors of polished bronze, just as their Egyptian contemporaries did, held on handles of wood or ivory. The long hair must have required careful combing and it is assumed that to begin with the Minoans used wooden combs: ivory combs did not appear in Crete until around 1500 BC (Figure 5C)."
