Makeup?

[mskayallyn]

I'm comfortable with not wearing makeup, I don't mind going to school without it and I'm self confident in myself, yet I wear it a lot and i just wanted to see what your guy's opinions are on what God thinks of makeup

I dont know what bibles says about make up, but as a man i prefer a woman who uses make up, you seem to take care about how you look and thats not bad at all.

Hunny, God is`nt the least bit interested in how muddy our faces are...He is only interested in washing our hearts..

(The Bible says so)

I enjoy make up, I wear it frequently, I like the more "crazy colors". It's fun to play around with, I think it depends on the reason you are wearing it, for you or for someone else.

 

[loverules]

yeah i like the crazy colours aswell..but i prefer my green, purple and black...and my mom keeps giving me tips (bad ones at that)

 

[Alice.]

Cool I have some pretty cool purple eyeliner

 

[loverules]

i only have black and green eye liner but i have some funky purple eyeshadow..and i love my green eye liner though

Yeah... I agree that God could care less about this. Unless, of course, it becomes an addiction. Or if you use it profusely or extravagantly. But I'm pretty sure you don't go Gaga with the makeup so you should be good.

I learned about these types of things this very week actually and this is what is called a non-essential. When you have questions like this ask yourself, "is this something that will effect my walk with God in a negative way; or will it negatively effect someone else's walk with God?". If its a no, then generally your good.

In general, all the "little things" are non-essentials, and the "big things" are essentials. Little things like music, movies, books, make up, art work, clothing, style, etc. go in the non-essentials list... and as long as you are following God there should be no problem with these things.

Hope this helps!

Ask God then Listen to His Answer

As a man I certainly know little about makeup - personally - the kind of clothes you wear can be good or bad so I guess simply asking God to direct your step and being willing to listen should work. If you wear makeup - I can not find a direct scripture in the Bible that says it is wrong.

Please Nicole do not misunderstand what I am about to say... but... I feel God is telling me to speak out about something you said - Here is your quote:

In general, all the "little things" are non-essentials, and the "big things" are essentials. Little things like music, movies, books, make up, art work, clothing, style, etc. go in the non-essentials list... and as long as you are following God there should be no problem with these things.

Nicole, Little things like music, movies, books, art work, clothing, style, etc. do not go in the non-essentials list - here is why...

These are the most important things a christian should watch out for as they are among the major tools "satan uses" to draw away young people from the truth.

Song of Songs 2:15 (KJV)
15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.

It is not the big sins that cause christians to backslide and go to hell. It is usually the little sins that draw us away from God.

Thanks

I actually love make up, it's a hobby really, learning new tricks and looks is so much fun.

That being said, I don't wear it everyday or every where, but I never leave the house without black eyeliner, blush and lip gloss

The simple answer is that the Bible does not explicitly say "no" you may not wear makeup. I wear makeup; I'm a woman; I'm feminine.

I believe the outside should be a reflection of the inside. Grooming, working out, and caring about our appearance is generally a good thing; though I also believe this is a personal matter. When in doubt, pray and let the Holy Spirit guide you.

In my experience, as things in my life sometimes get out of balance, God lets me know about it. :]

 

[loverules]

personally i dont wear make up all that much..but when i do wear it it only takes me 3 minutes to put it on
and im not all that feminine...sure i am female..but i dont really do all the things GIRLY girls do
and i happy this way...cuz im not putting on an act and not fooling anyone
so you either accept me for me...or dont bother, simple as really

Are all of the makeup wearers putting on an act? Do you think the choice to wear makeup is personal; similar to what hair products one uses and how one styles their hair?

 

[loverules]

when i said that..i meant im not making others think i like somthing when i dont

ps: sorry u may have to get used to how much slang i may use in posts

I used to wear it for fun, and experiment with it. (Found out I am NOT great
at putting on liquid eyeliner by the way haha.)
After a while I would see myself as ugly and worthless without it. I broke myself
of the habit and went without it for a few months, and recently started to wear it again, and for the same reason.

Make up is fun to use and just your personal choice to wear.
But when it becomes a mask for your true intentions like myself,
then it needs to go bye-bye. How I am to break myself of it, I am not sure.
I am working on it with God right now.

 

[loverules]

i will admit i do wear make up..but i have a couple of weeks where i dont wear it and i dont care what people think of me.
i have a big brother who thinks i am naturally beautiful and he says i dont need it, only in summer because i have such pale skin i look like im the living dead in the sun lol
..dont worry..im terrible with liquid eye liner too lol

I don't think wearing make-up is bad...but it is on what reason you are wearing it..
