miss b, it was given to everyone who would be on the platform, musicians, singers. there were many things listed that I agree/disagree with, I just wanted to know what would be considered invisible? If it is invisible then why would it be necessary?
If I conceal a zit or blackhead with concealer, it's virtually invisible because it blends in with my skin. You (hopefully) don't see the zit, and that's about the extent of it. Beyond that, the only invisible makeup that I can think of would be clear lipgloss or mascara, light powder or foundation. I almost always wear Carmex or something similar on my lips, because it's hard to sing with dry lips. Also, I've worn concealer or light foundation on my chin since I was a teenager. My chin is a different shade from the rest of my face, and I'm self-conscious about it. It was particularly obvious when I was pregnant for some reason. I always use something on it.
I think the purpose is to not look greasy under lights, to smooth out the complexion or cover imperfections. I guess the platform rule would be to allow that small concession without allowing full face, cake or colorful makeup. "No makeup unless it looks natural" has been our platform rule for years. So far, no one's stepped out looking like a strumpet, so I guess it's working alright.

Just ask you pastor why you cannot wear makeup.....then he will probley show you some scripture that he twisted all up to get his belief....God apparently did not have a problem with it...So I don't see why the pastor would but they do...Thats just something else I really do not like about the church....lol just some more stupid extra biblical rules...O you got to love the church.....

Visible makeup, KW. If nobody can see it, it's fine. Like the TV in the closet.

It is a fun word, though. Make it your word of the day tomorrow--good luck using it in a sentence!

If your make up is obvious, it wasn't applied right. Make up is to enhance one's looks.
It should look natural. The use of deeper colors is usually intended for going out in the evening not for everyday use. Even makeup artists tone it down for normal use.

My favorite anti makeup story, which I've told before ................
Twenty five years ago at another church in another state there was a new convert. She and her husband had come in through home bible studies in the MPLS metro area and then moved for a new job.
We were also new to the city and this couple lived a few blocks away.
My oldest daughter was babysitting for her children in the summer. She came home and rather amazed, told us how much make up this gal had in her bathroom.
Since my daughter knew make up was a sin she was baffled to say the least.
In a discussion sometime later with a group of church ladies, the topic of make up came up. The new convert told us she thought the reason no one wore make up was due to so much crying at the altar and your mascara would run.

The rule is, the makeup can't come off on your husband's lips when he kisses you.
Good rule! LOL!!! My husband hates lipstick.
