I know it just says eyelids, not painted eyelids, but why do women paint there eyes if not for that purpose? It's not for other women, is it?
1. Beauty in that verse means simply "beauty." Simple enough.

2. Yes, usually when women dress up it's for everyone they plan to meet. Men erroneously assume it's just for them--that would be the male ego at work.

Isn't that the truth! It always amuses me that men think women dress for them, when usually women dress for other women.

When I get a new dress, I can't wait to get to church so all my friends can tell me how cute it is and how awesome I look. Female friends.

All I know is that verse does not say eye makeup

Re: Cosmetics???

Good grief. I wear a little eyeliner, a soft eye shadow, and mascara. It makes my eyes look bigger and brighter. The same reason people whiten their teeth or curl their hair - to look better. There's nothing wrong with trying to look better! Some of us weren't born with all natural beauty!

I don't look like a hussy, or have the Jan Crouch/Tammy Faye look. There is moderation in all things. I just look like a normal woman, and I think God is pleased. I don't draw attention to myself.

No, I always envied those Pentecostal girls who could just pull their hair straight back and wear no makeup and still look gorgeous!!! I just couldn't pull off that look and still can't!

My wife is like that, doesn't need makeup.

My purpose for this thread is for years I never really researched this out, just accepted it without much thought, but that was before I turned into Truthseeker. So now I would like to know what the scriptures realy say on the subject. I am asking questions as if against makeup to bring out as much info as possible.

Well, many of them can until they hit the ripe old age of about 25......

Actually quite a bit "bad" behavior (health wise) can be ignored until about 25, like smoking and heavy drinking. Suddenly all these girls who had model figures despite their partying, start seeing flab where none existed.
