New fireproof makeup will help soldiers look hot, stay cool

This is the hottest makeup innovation we've ever heard of: The University of Southern Mississippi has developed a lotion that can withstand extreme heat for 15 seconds before even registering a first-degree burn (for the record, you’ve probably had one -- a sunburn qualifies). Explosives can cause damage through either a concussive blast or through the subsequent heatwave that can reach temperatures of 1,112 degrees. This lotion could save soldiers who aren’t able to escape a blast zone. The makeup comes in a range of camouflage colors, is waterproof, and will no doubt be a godsend to not just military personnel but also to firefighters and paranoid beauty queens worldwide. [Source]
