If science and technology allowed, what beauty product would you invent or create?

Here's mine.
I would create a kind of dip––sort of like paraffin that would adhere
only to skin and cuticle and not to nail.
You could lather up with lotion, goop this stuff on and then paint
your nails without worry. Peel it off or dissolve it with some other
liquid when your finished painting.
Maybe you wouldn't even have to paint your nails with a brush. You'd
be able to dip your fingers into enamel. It would only get on your
nails––not your finger which would be protected by the paraffin–like
glove. Even better the enamel wouldn't even stick to the glove. It
would slide right off almost eliminating waste.
Perfect, absolutely idiot–proof manicures.
I can dream can't I?

The Fifth Element was on last night so, my dream products are directly from
that film. I'd like Milla Jovovich's make–up kit. She just held it up to
her face and everything was instantly transformed into a different colour
scheme/pallet. I'd also like Sibyl Buck (Zorg's secretary) nail kit. It's
like what you described only easier. She just tapped each finger with a
small cross between a pen and nail polish sized bottle and the nail
instantly turned a different colour. Naturally, the nail was perfectly
polished .

I have a really strong, recurrent fantasy of a fashion invention. This
hits me especially when I walk through Nordy's kids shoe department, or
thhrough Oillily kids .... I want a ray gun you can use to zap any
clothing item and it will make it your size. I want it right now, as a
matter of fact, as the new Oillily catalog has the most adorable cape
that I want to desperately.

I want that too, but not for anything I've ever seen in the kid's
department!

I find that the 0s, 2s and 4s are usually the first ones gone.
I have to second the photoshop post. I would love to be able to erase
things and turn back the clock.

These are more just fashion–related than specifically beauty–related:
Something that would keep dark–colored cotton fabrics from fading, no
matter how much the item was washed, worn, or left in the sun.
Something that could size–adjust your favorite garments through various
size/weight shifts up or down.
A treatment you could give the most precious garments you own to make
them never show signs of wear. Or, alternatively,
A way to "clone" your favorite items so that you could have a new one
just like it when the old one gave out. (I'd do this a lot for shoes if
I could!)
An umbrella that would fold up small enough to fit into a back pocket.
Luggage that carries itself!
An iron that does all the work.
A washer/dryer setup that puts the clean clothes away for you.
An instant–transport system for sending items you buy in a store to your
home. You could shop all day and have items "beamed" to your house when
you pay for them. You won't have to carry any shopping bags, and when
you get home, all the things you bought are waiting right there in the
living room (or wherever) for you!

A product that would actually lift dark hair to blonde, in a single
step without damage. (Will probably never happen. I know enough about
the 'science' of hair, and coloring/bleaching to know that such an
invention is very improbable.)
A preparation that would actually eradicate ingrown hair. YAY! No such
product exists as of yet. TendSkin only helps, and ever so slightly.
A thermal reconditioning kit for home use that is actually guaranteed
to not damage hair. Those new kits scare me. (I've seen closeups of
hair shafts that have been thermally reconditioned. They are scary.)

Would it be possible to make me the perfect size to wear it? I'd love to
be able to swagger in wearing a long duster–ish coat, but I don't have the
height to carry it off.

How about the product that makes "One Size Fits All" a reality?
You take this pill, and you gain/lose weight to reach a certain
number.
Hopefully, it's not accompanied with a BMI of 50. <grin/duck>

When shopping online, pull the clothes out of the monitor so I can
try them on.
And be able to keep the ones you like without having to wait for
the delivery/mail person.
Have a magic wand that would color my gray roots.
Sounds good.

The Telegraph today has a story about a hormone injection that appears
to be highly effective in helping with weight loss for the obese
(where, apparently, many obese people have a natural shortage of this
hormone, which controls the stomach to brains signals about
"fullness"). The story concludes that it would almost certainly be a)
highly effective and b) save lives but that c) it will never be
pursued as it's a natural substance and unpatentable so nobody will
get rich.

From Star Trek NG, a comb–like device which changed the hair color as
it went through the hair. Unfortunately the cost per treatment is the
same as the special effects budget for the entire run of the show. 8 (
