Thoughts from the Christian perspective: discernment issues as they relate to the current state of the church and society.
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?
ReplyDeleteI 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.
