Gloss Quotations
One who comes to the Court must come to adore, not to protest. That's the new gloss on the 1st Amendment.
William O. Douglas
A gloss is a total system of perception and language.
Talcott Parsons
But I always curl my lashes, even if I don't put on mascara. I'll also put on a lip gloss or lip balm. And I always brush my eyebrows. I have very thick eyebrows - I'm just now starting to thin them out a bit.
Denise Richards
I just lip gloss! It doesn't matter if it's $2 or $30.
Vanessa Hudgens
Guys would sleep with a bicycle if it had the right color lip gloss on. They have no shame. They're like bull elks in a field.
Tori Amos
Have you heard of this new thing called the internet? It's giving people new expectations. It's allowing them to become their own expert. Knowledge lies anxious at their fingertips. Gloss over the truth in your advertising and you'll quickly be dismissed as a poser.
Roy H. Williams
To me, natural, healthy looking skin is really beautiful. With a little concealer, eyeshadow, liner, gloss and bronzer, I love my lighter makeup look. I've saved so much money on facials!
Giuliana Rancic
What's great about being a character actor is you know that you can survive forever. It's not about the gloss of your eyebrows.
Martin Short
Sometimes movies gloss over things, and it was important to me that this was realistic.
Jami Gertz
