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
Quandary: When we're in restaurants, my friend puts on lipstick at the table and blots her lips on the cloth napkin. I love her dearly but, c'mon, this has to be wrong. Right?
Solution: "Truth be told, it's perfectly fine to reapply if you can do it without a mirror," maintains Post, who shudders at the visual of women using their butter knives as mirrors. "Lipstick is the only cosmetic we say is OK at the table."
