British School Bans Makeup and Mirrors to Combat Vanity - 




Teenage girls at a British secondary school have apparently become entranced by their own heavily made up reflections.
In order to prevent female students from spending school hours primping in the bathroom, Shelley College, a co-ed public school in northern England, has barred students from wearing make-up and spending time in front of the mirror.
