Mineral lip pencil PAULA 50

According to Maran, our teacher and Rabbi, light of Israel, Rav Ovadia Yosef of blessed memory.

• Our teacher and Rabbi, light of Israel, Rav Ovadia Yosef of blessed memory has taught on his books that any cosmetic material manufactured as an ointment or liquid, which paints the facial skin, such as a lipstick or foundation paste or makeup and mascara, should not be used on Sabbath under any circumstances.

• He nevertheless instructed his students to be lenient concerning makeup powders on Shabbat, and under the following conditions:

1. This permission is based on the fact that makeup powder does not last long on one’s face, nor sticks on it. Therefore, make sure that the types of powders will be free of any greasy substance that might cause the material to adhere to the face.

1. It is forbidden to blend or mix the powders to any type of creams or ointment.

1. Make sure that your face skin is dry and clean of any base material that could keep the makeup powder on the face skin, even if it was on your face from before the Shabbath Eve.

1. It’s better to sprinkle the powder on your face with a brush, not with cotton or spongy, to make sure not to incur into the prohibition of dyeing on shabbath.

1. It is better to have a special brush for Shabbath, for “Ovdeen dehol”, and also to avoid the remains of makeup and creams which would be forbidden on Saturday.

1. Refrain from creating new shades of color by mixing up different powder colors.

1. If the powder dried up and got lumpy, no problem crumbling it back and using it on Shabbath.
