At best, it strikes me as a bizarre religious ritual, like war paint. At worst, it makes me think there is a carefully stage-managed deception going on. Often I have seen someone carefully dolled up and thought to myself, "Why do you put that crap on your face?"</p> <p>It turns out that maybe the question should have been phrased, "Do you know that you're putting crap on your face?" &mdash; Professor Elizabeth Brooks from <a href="http://www.rowan.edu/">Rowan University</a> conducted a 14-week university study of store makeup counters and <a href="http://www.local6.com/news/4657666/detail.html">found high levels of bacteria in the makeup</a>, including dangerous levels of E.
