# While the Biblical prohibition of [[dyeing]] is only something that will be colored permanently, there is still a Rabbinic prohibition on creating a temporary coloring effect. Therefore, cosmetics such as: rouges, lipsticks, eye shadow, and others which add color to the skin albeit for a short amount of time, are still forbidden to use on [[Shabbos]]. <ref>Rambam Hilchos [[Shabbos]] 22:23, S.A. 303:25, Mishna Brurah 303:79, Rabbi Heshy Kahn (What's Doing, Greater Connecticut, 3/3/11)</ref> | # While the Biblical prohibition of [[dyeing]] is only something that will be colored permanently, there is still a Rabbinic prohibition on creating a temporary coloring effect.

[http://www.dailyhalacha.com/m/halacha.aspx?id=932 Rabbi Eli Mansour], Aruch Hashulchan 326:11, and Ketzot Hashulchan 146:32 agree. Kitzur Hilchot [[Shabbat]] pg. 74 says this is the common practice. See also Shemirat [[Shabbat]] Kihilchita 14:16.

# If one used a scented soap to clean one’s hands it is permitted to dry one’s hands on a towel.<ref>Ginat Veradim OC 3:16 writes that it is permitted to use rose water to clean your hands and to dry them on a towel since there’s no prohibition of molid when it is unintentional. Molid is only a derabbanan and if one doesn’t intend for it it isn’t an issue of a pesik reisha. This is also the opinion of the Maharshal (Yam Shel Shlomo Beitzah 2:34). Rav Avraham Antebi writes that the Syrian minhag was to use rose water on Shabbat for washing hands.</ref> | # If one used a scented soap to clean one’s hands it is permitted to dry one’s hands on a towel.<ref>Ginat Veradim OC 3:16 writes that it is permitted to use rose water to clean your hands and to dry them on a towel since there’s no prohibition of molid when it is unintentional.
