#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.

{{Soap on Shabbat}}
#Some poskim hold that it is permitted to use a bar of soap on Shabbat because one doesn't intend of smoothing out the bar of soap or creating any soap suds.<ref>According to Chacham Ovadia Yosef (Sh"t Yechave Daat 2:50), it is permitted to use a bar of soap or liquid soap on [[shabbat]] because one has no intention of changing anything. One only intends clean what he is washing. </ref> On the opposite extreme some poskim hold that it is forbidden to use either bar or liquid soap on Shabbat.<ref>According to Rabbi Moshe Feinstein (Sh"t Igrot Moshe OC 1:113) it is forbidden to use a bar of soap and it is forbidden to use liquid soap on [[shabbat]]. </ref> However, according to the majority of poskim, one may not use a bar of soap but one may use liquid soap on Shabbat.<ref>According to Chacham Ben-Zion Abba-Shaul (Sh"t Or Litzion 2:35:5), one may not use a bar of soap but one may use liquid soap on [[shabbat]]. [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. [http://www.yutorah.org/sidebar/lecture.cfm/798018/rabbi-hershel-schachter/shiur-11-shabbos-memachaik-memare-ach/ Rav Schachter (Shabbat Shiur 11)] explained that it is questionable to forbid using a liquid soap since the resultant sods created as very temporary.</ref>
#Some poskim it is permitted to use foam handsoap on Shabbat.<ref>[http://www.yutorah.org/sidebar/lecture.cfm/798018/rabbi-hershel-schachter/shiur-11-shabbos-memachaik-memare-ach/ Rav Schachter (Shabbat Shiur 11)]
held that using foamy soap is permitted since changing the liquid into a foam and using it since the result is very temporary before it is washed down the drain.</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. 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>

#Many Poskim permit women applying non-sticky powder to their faces on [[Shabbat]], however, other poskim forbid this act. Nevertheless, all agree that applying sticky powder is forbidden.<ref>Yechave Daat 4.28, Menichat Ahava 13.7 </ref>

# Putting on nail polish even if it is clear is forbidden.<ref>Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchata ch. 14 fnt. 167</ref>
# Rav Moshe Feinstein permitted putting on ordinary talcum powder and theoretically extended it to all colored powdered makeups. In practice, regarding specific makeups, he warned that the powdered makeups may not be made with a water or oil base and could not last for a long time.<ref>Igrot Moshe 1:114, 5:27, 6:25:1. Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach in Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchata ch. 14 fnt. 173 is strict.</ref> Many of his students forbid all powdered makeups on the market today because in practice they remain on the skin for a long time.<ref>[[Asicha_Hilchos_Shabbos_Part_2| Rav Mordechai Willig (Asicha Shabbos 2 p. 6)]], Rav Belsky in Shulchan Halevi 9:1, [https://www.torahanytime.com/#/lectures?a=114404 Rav Shmuel Fuerst (min 23-26)]</ref>
