No, I don't think it is necessary. But I am a guy sooooo... I've never used makeup. I personally think when someone is wearing too much makeup it doesn't look very good, it's like bozo the clown gave them a makeover. But hey, if you have a terrible skin disease and you need cosmetics for your face so it doesn't sag to your ankles, sure, but when it you don't NEED it, it's best to go without.

It's much better to take good care of your skin and make it flawless than to try to cover up blemishes with makeup.
Trust me. If you have clean skin, all you gotta do is swipe some (natural) lipstick and you look amazing. Like you put a ton of time into doing your makeup. Without doing anything

There are some natural substitutes for makeup! Like people use foundation or something like that to cover up the dark bags under your eyes, but you can also help those go away by washing it with cold water/ rinsing your face with cold water. And like Chickadee said, a little lipstick or maybe a little swipe of mascara.

I personally don't put on makeup, but maybe that's the reason I don't have a boyfrie--

That means that you haven't got a guy that's "in love with you", or rather your makeup. Cos makeup smudges, beauty fades, but character lasts. If you "wait upon the Lord" then He will lead you to a wonderful guy who will love you with a bed head, bags under your eyes, baby spit-up on your shoulder, and body odour. He'll love you because of your personality. And true love will stick around even when someone is "unlovable."

Anyway, mini lecture over, remember to keep your chin up because you're a daughter of the King of Kings. Act accordingly.

Lol!

I never can figure out why women get rid of all hints of darkness around their eyes only to put eyeshadow on. To me you already have natural eyeshadow! Lol


Hey! *important notice* Boys don't like girls based on whether or not they wear makeup! Just saying! (insert hyper emoji) (sorry I just ate breakfast and have way too much energy)
Also i think teenage girls look prettier without makeup on. When teenage girls put on makeup to me it looks like they got into their moms makeup and played dress up


Hehe



HEHE




LOLOL

@chickadee some (most) people cannot have flawless skin simply by taking care of it. Acne, scars, genetics, moles, sunburns, dark spots.... none of those can be taken away by washing your face and using moisturizer.
@travelpastel About the dark circles under eyes... I get them a lot. Cold water does not wash them away. I'm the type of person who (unfortunately) does best with about 7-8 hours of sleep. I typically get about 5. Enter, dark circles. Also, I have bad allergies which also cause dark circles. Sometimes these things just don't go away.

I think that's the shortest summary ever....

Kwesi wrote: Okay, what's the root cause?

Still on the subject of makeup...I was reading through it all cause I'm bored...and I'm still very confused. Why is it considered so wrong and 'unchristian' to wear make up? We could just walk around wearing black, grey, and brown clothes and look very plain, and not braid our hair or anything, "because God made us naturally beautiful." But no. We think it's acceptable to wear pretty dresses and skirts with lace and frills and cute patterns and bright colors, and we think it's okay to put out hair in elaborate braids and curl/straighten it. What's the difference between sparkles in my dress and sparkles on my eyelids? What's the difference between a pink skirt and pink lipstick? How come curling my naturally straight hair is okay but putting on eyeliner is unacceptable?

Make up becomes wrong when it becomes an idol. When you base your worth and beauty solely on what make up you wear and how you look, that's when it becomes wrong. But anything can become an idol. Even our clothes can become idols, but do we say clothes are wrong? (I'm not talking about being immodest, I'm talking about thinking only pretty clothes can make you beautiful)

God made masterpieces when He made us, and we shouldn't be ashamed of how we look, or think we should depend on powder and ink to be beautiful. But on the other hand, it's just powder and ink. If you want to do something a little extra, or if you want to play with different colors (have you seen some of the eyeshadow designs makeup artists have done??? Such talent! It's gorgeous!) or if you want to clean up a little for picture day or whatever, you're still beautiful. God still loves you.

Makeup does not define you. You are beautiful with and without it. God loves you with and without it. You can go to church with and without it. Your significant other should be able to accept and love you with and without it.

It's not tattoos or piercings. It's makeup. It's fine. Chill, guys.

Alright, so let's treat it.

.....

How do we treat it?

But, remember that in Ellen White's day, (1800s) makeup was usually worn by young women who were out to draw attention to themselves. That's kinda the attitude of 1 Timothy 2:9.
Basically, don't wear stuff to attract attention to yourself in a self-praising manner. In today's world, no one notices if you wear a bit of makeup. You're not glorifying yourself, so it should be okay.

I don't wear makeup. I find it too hard to put on, and frankly I just don't care for it. But if other girls/women feel more at ease and confident wearing some makeup, I don't see why they can't.
