According to Rory Jones (who is very well known, and knows alot about celiac disease and DH), you can only be glutened by ingesting it... makeup, hair products, lotions shouldn't bother you...

however, all my stuff is gluten-free just to be safe

The problem with gluten and makeup, shampoo, lotions, etc. is that it can get into your mouth inadvertantly, causing a gluten reaction.

I never realized what a girl I was until I tried using shampoo with wheat in it just because I liked it. I couldn't believe how much I was putting my hands in my hair. Then I'd have to go wash my hands.

You can also get the water from rinsing your hair in your mouth. Pay close attention next time you wash your hair and see if that's something you do. I never would have believed it myself because I hate getting water in my face when I wash my hair, but sure enough, little rivulets of water were just streaming down my face across my mouth.

Personally, I make sure all my lipstick, gloss, lip balms, etc are gluten-free. Because that will definitely get into your mouth. Foundations / powders / blushes I make sure are gluten-free. But eye makeup I don't worry about. Nail products should also be verified unless you never touch your food with your hands. I have a story about that too... Hand lotions are another thing I would say you should verify.

I heard that all of Smashbox is gluten-free, most of Bare Escentuals and a lot of MAC are gluten-free.

What I would do is not throw everything away that has gluten, but just put it in a bag somewhere and set it aside for now. You may find that you're more disciplined than I am in not touching your face or hair and can use a lot of the stuff. The only thing I'd advise you absolutely verify is anything that goes on your lips, and probably your nails. Other than that you may find that you're a lot more disciplined with not touching your face and hair. Some people are able to do much better than I do with all of this. For me, cosmetics and all that stuff will kick my booty every time.
