I think that cosmetic enhancements in my profession are just an occupational hazard. But I think, more culturally, I'm interested in starting the conversation about aging gracefully and how, instead of making it a cultural problem, we make it individuals' problems.

Frances McDormand

I'm a lifelong movie addict, and one of my favorite projects is making replica props and costumes. Nearly every one of these - from R2D2 to Hellboy's revolver - ends with the paint job. And it's not just cosmetic. The paint literally tells a story: what this thing is made of, where it's been, what it's been used for, and for how long.

Adam Savage

Women are clearly the major consumers in far more than just female categories. It doesn't matter whether it is purchases of cars, cosmetics, or even products for men, female consumption power is the leading consumption power in the world. Any company that overlooks the woman as the decision maker is making a huge mistake.

Andrea Jung

A writer is not a confectioner, a cosmetic dealer, or an entertainer.

Anton Chekhov

There are no better cosmetics than a severe temperance and purity, modesty and humility, a gracious temper and calmness of spirit; and there is no true beauty without the signatures of these graces in the very countenance.

Arthur Helps

White Southerners created an entire cosmetics industry equating beauty with whiteness and trained a string of winning Miss Americas who embodied their racial ideal in a national representative.

Asha Rangappa

Like many women, I spend much of my working day wearing a variety of cosmetic and personal care products on my skin and hair.

Ashlan Gorse Cousteau

I would love to play with the Flyers. I got the two front teeth missing, so I can look the part. I'm ready cosmetically. I could fit right in.

Bernard Hopkins

In the factory we make cosmetics; in the drugstore we sell hope.

Charles Revson

I've spent a lot of time trying to understand how all the big cosmetics companies get away with the placebo science and unscientific claims.

Chris Toumazou

Don't get me wrong: 'America's Next Top Model' is fantastic. They've done 20 seasons, so they've obviously done something right. But I think what ensures that the winner of 'The Face' will become a working model is the prize - a year-long contract with a cosmetics company is huge.

Coco Rocha

Working in the entertainment industry exposes me to every current cosmetic fad.

Connie Sellecca

Our generation has taken to the cosmetic use of pesticides and I think, perhaps unwittingly, not fully understanding the dangers it represents to ourselves and, most importantly, to our children.

Dalton McGuinty

I dye my hair, and I use teeth whitening strips. Unless I burnt myself or damaged my skin, I wouldn't have cosmetic surgery.

Darcey Bussell

I'm lucky that it's about fashion and perfume and cosmetics. If my father had owned a tire company, I don't know what I would have done.

Delphine Arnault

I don't think it's ungracious to seek cosmetic help - it has crossed my mind from time to time, and I have been tempted. But it's too short-term. Once you start down that road, you have to keep going.

Diana Quick

Don't underestimate the cosmetic power of sunglasses. It's worth spending a bit of money on a quality pair. I usually go for Dior or Louis Vuitton.

Dita Von Teese

You don't need to buy expensive cosmetics; almost anything will do if you know how to apply it.

Dolly Parton

I have had some cosmetic surgery, especially after I lost weight and stuff, and I've had my breasts lifted - but not injected. That would scare me to death, anyway.

Dolly Parton

I'm proud to join Cruelty Free International in calling on the United States to end cosmetics testing on animals.

Drea De Matteo

And of course the Green Party wants to remove carcinogens from our food, our cosmetics, our backyard pesticides.
