The curse of the Egyptian mummy is a mysterious and popular myth that has fascinated people for centuries. It revolves around the belief that disturbing or disrespecting the resting place of an ancient Egyptian mummy will result in a series of misfortunes, illnesses, or even death for the individuals involved. The concept of the curse dates back to the late 19th century when the archaeologists began exploring the deserts of Egypt in search of ancient relics and tombs. The discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb by British archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922 brought the myth of the curse to the forefront of public consciousness. According to the legend, the curse was inscribed on the walls of the tomb and read, "Death will slay with his wings whoever disturbs the peace of the pharaoh." This ominous inscription, combined with the tragic and sudden deaths of some of the people associated with the tomb's excavation, fueled the belief in the curse.

" This ominous inscription, combined with the tragic and sudden deaths of some of the people associated with the tomb's excavation, fueled the belief in the curse. However, skeptics argue that the curse is nothing more than a superstition and that the deaths and misfortunes associated with the discovery of the mummy can be explained by natural causes or mere coincidence. They attribute the deaths to infections, accidents, or pre-existing health conditions rather than a supernatural curse.
TKB Lip Liquid - Presto Change-o Magic Color
TKB's Presto Change-o Magic Color Lip Liquid is a color additive. You don't put it on your lips directly, you add it to your project. And frankly, you don't need to add much. We used to recommend between 2%-5% by weight, but customer reviews have advised to take that number down. Maybe 0.5% to start. For our Halloween Kit colors, we did end up around 3%. But you should "work your way up".
All this means that a 1 fluid ounce bottle of TKB Magic Presto Change-o Magic Color Lip Liquid will easily color 1-2 pounds of base. (Note: you could put it directly on your lips but your lips would be stained extremely pink and you would regret it. Save that idea for when you want to get back at your pesky little brother and be grounded for a week).
By the way, the best way to remove it from the skin is with a makeup remover or an oil. That is more gentle than scrubbing at it with soap and water.
How to work with it:
Add it to a lip balm, lip stick, lip gloss, and -- possibly -- a lip oil. If you add to a lip oil, the oil must be thick enough to keep the color "suspended". If it is too thin, the color will settle out. Daring folk can add to a cheek stain or use for a similar purpose.

You can mask this color by adding other colors. For example, if you add green mica to the blend (we suggest our True Green Mica), it will appear green in the bottle. But, when applied to the lips, it will bloom into a hot pink.
Here are some important tips for working with Presto Change-o:
-
The product is very staining. Always work with gloves and a covered table top. As well, expect your utensils to become stained. The good news is, that once the product stains your lips, it doesn't transfer to clothing or stain other areas, so it is pretty great at "staying in place".
Coupled with your creativity, TKB Presto Change-o Magic Color Lip Liquid can result in custom colors as unique as a unicorn's mane.
