Your Beauty Etiquette Dilemmas -- Solved

Check out these beauty tips to learn what's appropriate (and not!) when it comes to grooming, makeup and more

1 of 12

Put your napkin on your lap. Say "excuse me" when you burp. Don't shave your legs on the bus.

You don't have to be Miss Manners to get the basic rules of decorum down pat. It's the other things, the things mom didn't teach you, that can get tricky -- especially when it comes to beauty Dos and Don'ts.

We need guidance. We need answers. We need Lizzie Post.

Besides being the great, great granddaughter of Emily Post (the unequivocal authority on manners), Lizzie Post is an acclaimed author and spokesperson for the Emily Post Institute, an organization that works tirelessly at being a social barometer for etiquette and civility in America. Judging by the many things we've witnessed while in line at the bank, on the subway and more, they sure have their work cut out for them!

So if you want answers to beauty questions that have long confounded you, questions like: "Do I have to be naked at the spa?" and "How much perfume is too much?" Or, if you want to know how to handle awkward situations like whether to tell a friend that she looks like a pig in a blanket in those jeans, you've come to the right place.

Ready? After you.

No, really, we insist.

@ JustIris30...just to let you know that your friend is horribly wrong,one of the first and essential things to know about applying any perfume is NEVER to rub the place where the perfume was spritzed on! Never ever because it destroys the molecules of the perfume itself and it will not be the same smell nor intensity it should and could be! That is a complete no-no! Inform yourself and your friend!
