I usually put on a lip and some mascara before I head out of the house. It makes me feel good. I started experimenting with makeup back in high school. One of my friends, who shall remain nameless, shoplifted a bunch of drugstore cosmetics for me, and I would just play with it in my room at night.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Elizabeth May

I'm always scared of trends. The runways are always so trend-oriented, but I always feel for the women. The real women that buy cosmetics want to see the trends, but they don't necessarily go for them. And I always encourage women to find what looks best on them.

Francois Nars

Bottom line - cosmetics are used to accentuate an existing sex difference in facial contrast. This does not mean that women engage in this beautification practice with knowledge of this sexual dimorphism.

Gad Saad

Women, as they grow older, rely more and more on cosmetics. Men, as they grow older, rely more and more on a sense of humor.

George Jean Nathan

I entered the cosmetics industry because I wanted more women to use cosmetics made with safe, healthful ingredients.

Gloria Swanson

The power of cosmetics and the effect they can have on one's happiness and confidence is very real.

Huda Kattan

Being a Middle Eastern girl in America with a name no one could pronounce was not easy, so I turned to make-up and cosmetics as a way to deal with my insecurities, thus creating my long-term relationship with beauty.

Huda Kattan

I was admittedly comfortable with Iman Cosmetics being identified as a beauty brand that filled the gap for black women because it was deeply personal for me.

Iman

I started the cosmetics in 1994 after I stopped modeling, out of my frustration as a woman of color not finding what I needed.

Iman

At the end of the day, my legacy will not be modelling but my cosmetics line.

Iman

I would go to cosmetics counters and buy two or three foundations and powders, and then go home and mix them before I came up with something suitable for my undertones.
