Does anyone know if foundation in a spray is ok on shabbos?

Also, where I come from, make up is not allowed on shabbos, however here in America I see all these women in shul wearing all kinds of make up, and it does not look like they put it on before Shabbos the day before, does it mean there is Shabbos make up including eye make up and lipstick? (I thought that there was only blush/powder Shabbos make up)

It's very possible that these women you see did put on their makeup before shabbos. There are many things out there that last for more than 24 hours, especially eye makeup.

Hannah, I use a similar one, the CoverGirl Outlast, but it stays on even though I eat soup or oily foods. And it stays on till motzai shabbos.

the issue with any makeup, spray on or not, lies with the melacha of tzoveah. it needs testing.
if you see all those ladies with fresh makeup on, including fresh lipcolor, they may just be unsing my line, which is approved for use ON shabbat by rav blumenkrantz Very Happy

The makeup is of a high mineral content, and has been literally tested, so that it dissolves in a certain way. This dissovency removes the issue of tzoveah. It'stested at least three times! ( by Rb Blumenkrantz zl, and later I worked with his son). It appears to be a powder, but it is in fact very high in mineral content with an anti-inflammatory component. YES, the materials can be used ALL over ones face, ON shabbat. It is my own line,I developed it, and you can IM me for info if youd like. Smile

Isn't it neccessary to get a new Hashgocho? Don't products 1-undergo formula change now and then, and 2-new ones get introduced, and 3-Hashgochos s/t rarely but sometimes change P'saks on a product depending on new scientific findings on a product?

----good question, and yes products do undergo formulation changes. the last formulation change that I worked on, ( concerning the vitamin E in the product) occurred when the elder rav was so sick, he turned the work of investigation for my product, at that point over to his son. It is with him that I now go to ask questions etc.
Just as an aside. the rav was so sick for many years, but he always himself, gave me hashgacha, and let me tell you drilled me ever so often with questions. when he gave over the work to his son, I knew he was very very seriously sick. also, that was the only time he didnt close our conversation with a b'racha for me. my heart sank with the realization that this might be the end..

if you want to be a real kosher bas-isroel you should know theat there is no such a thing as shabbos make up!
ask any rov and you will see that no one with yiras-shomayim will allopw you to.

.........maybe I misunderstood you, because such a statement is outlandish.....
are you implying CV that the Rav Blumenkrantz , both past and present are NOT baali yirat shamayim?
are you also implying that a women who follows their teaching and p'sakim is not a kosher bas Yisrael?
are you aware that the elder rav z'l was THE most prominent halacha teacher in any bais yaakov school in brooklyn, until only very recently?
and HEY! why are you so brazen as to besmearch the reputation of the Rav, both past and present, but you hide behind anon?

I am just curious if you spray it on how do you even out? It doesn't require a quick shmear?

Hey, anon who is blasting Shabbos make-up users...

ChocMousse has a good point...I suffer from acne and it is so difficult to be seen without a bit of makeup - it really does a number on my self-esteem.

We discussed this on h.com.

I think Shabbos makeup is great for:

Those women who need to go to the mikvah but can't be seen without makeup.

and

Those who have real blemish problems.

However, it's NOT so great for the girl or woman who just wants to paint her face all up - although there are Kosher for Shabbos eye shadows, I just don't think tha'ts so important..........

I use the shabbos make up..

It's wonderful, and my skin is VERY sensitive, and breaks out constantly...

Considering I am single and looking for a shidduch, bad skin is not something that is goign to attract someone u know?
