Hair's the Scoop

Smashbox

When we read the description about the Smashbox Cosmetics O-Gloss, we had to try it. It’s touted as an intuitive gloss which “goes on clear and then reacts with your personal skin chemistry to instantly transform into your own custom shade of pink”.

So? What did we think? It’s cool. As promised, it went on clear and then turned pink. But it was a really flattering pink – a pink that wasn’t too bright or blue or red for our skin. It was the perfect pink. We’re drinking the Kool-Aid on this one.

I've always considered Charlize Theron to be the epitome of elegance and discretion, so I was a little surprised to see this shot of the Oscar winner publicly touching up her lip gloss at last night's Clippers game.

Is it a fine-worthy offense? Not in my book, but I generally try to avoid doing so myself. (Blame it on my mum and her belief in the power of allowing for a bit of "mystery" when it comes to one's use of makeup, hair extensions & contouring aids...)

What do you think? Is it appropriate to apply makeup in public?
