Ok folks I've doing a little research on what the bible says about makeup and such. This not let's fight over standards thread, I just want others input ont he subject.
16 Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
KJV
[And wanton eyes] uwmsaqrowt `eeynaayim. The word shaaqar usually means "to lie, to deceive," and may here refer to the art of alluring by a wanton or fascinating glance of the eye. There has been great diversity of opinion about the meaning of this expression. Lowth proposes to read it, 'and falsely setting off their eyes with paint,' in allusion to a custom known to prevail in the East, of coloring the eye-lids with stibium, or the powder of lead ore. This was done the better to exhibit the white of the eye, and was supposed by many to contribute to the healthful action of the eye itself. This practice is known to prevail extensively now; but it is not clear that the prophet here has reference to it. The expression is usually interpreted to mean 'deceiving with the eyes,' that is, "alluring" or "enticing" by the motion of the eyes. The "motion" of the eyes is mentioned (Prov 6:13-14) as one mode of "deceiving" a person:
He winketh with his eyes,
He speaketh with his feet,
He teacheth with his fingers;
Frowardness is in his heart,
He deviseth mischief continually.
What about those little false buttons (?) I see on men's cuff's...not shinning silver or gold but purple, green, blue and even pink...sure doesn't look like a button but a decoration...I already told my son that stuff looks awful worldly to me...I just don't think men ought to wear that stuff... You know that is false too...and all that gel men put on their hair I really think that is worldly...and those silk neckties oughta go...
Well, I got up in a teasing mode...
NOW let me say something serious if I can without revealing who I am talking about...
Why do people even want to be false? The LORD hates every false way. I will answer my own question...people portray a false holiness sometimes because of peer pressure...preach against videos where they can get a lot of points and go on trips and take video cameras...preach against videos and go home and watch your tube...
If we really knew how strong politics are in the Apostolic Pentecostal church we would tremble. All those pats on the back thoses political sermons and connections...
I need say no more...

The more I know the further I want to get away from things like that...

Well, I for one will not use eye shadow. hmmm... unless that camo stuff used for hunting counts.
But I agree with Sister A - get rid of the ties. What's with those things any way? And every sort of do-bob and bo-dangle. T-Shirts and Blues jeans are the most appropriate "uniform" for the Apostolic gentleman.

Well, OK, but the jeans can't have any decorative stitching on the pockets. And the T-shirts: nothing printed on them, but that goes without saying.
