Is that true?刘娜: Yes, it’s true. Some cosmetics contain metal components, which can interfere with MRI scans.优子: I used to think light makeup was fine, and even more polite that way.刘娜: A lot of people think that, but MRI machines are very sensitive to metal, so wearing makeup can actually be unsafe.优子: So even just foundation or lipstick isn’t okay?刘娜: It’s best to remove everything. Glitter, eyeshadow, and setting spray need extra caution.优子: I see—this is really informative. Health checks are more important than looking good.刘娜: Exactly. In China people often say ‘health comes first.’ Keeping it simple and clean before an exam is being responsible to yourself.
