Answer 2

They had dark eyeliner around the eyes, typically had lots of hieroglyphics on and around them. Usually mummies of pharaohs and queens had headdresses and adornments showing their wealth and power. Their hair was typically a dark brown or black color and some pharaohs would have beards protruding from their chins. King Tut's sarcophagus is a very good example of these things.
