Whatever is born is the work of God. So whatever is plastered on, is the devil’s work…. How unworthy of the Christian name it is to wear a fictitious face—you on whom simplicity in every form is enjoined! You, to whom lying with the tongue is not lawful, are lying in appearance.
Tertullian (ca.198), 4:21. Cited in A Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs, edited by David W. Bercot, Pg 176.

Are you against a woman putting on excessive makeup or against the use of it at all times?
I don't think anyone should be wearing make-up because it gives a false impression of what the person looks like. That being said, I don't care if they do wear make-up but when is more than just "enhancing" an appearance then they just look like clowns. If the woman isn't pretty without make-up, make-up can disguise it a bit but she still isn't pretty. My wife has NEVER worn make-up, not even as a teen.
