Shade vs shadow
When we think of ancient Egyptian faces, the first thing we notice is their dark eye makeup. This early makeup was originally used by both men and women to [shadow] their eyes from the reflection of the bright desert. (Today football and baseball players use black grease on their cheeks for a similar purpose.)
Shouldn't it be "shade"?
