Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for a science fair project that would involve experimenting with makeup/cosmetics. I read about the waterproof mascara experiment, but is there anything else out there?

I know that I procrastinate. But this is due tomorrow. (The idea proposal.)

Babeetay: since your project was due today (the day I'm reading this), I'm not sure this will be useful to you, but...

Think about what interests you in this subject. Are you interested in the impact of makeup on skin? is it good or bad? or are you interested in the impact of makeup in disguise or how a person is perceived as beautiful or not? The first question is more biology based; the second question is more psychology based. Thus, you can find many ways of developing an experiment revolving around makeup and its use.

Open your mind and see what interests you in this. Lots of possibilities.
