The Holy Spirit can lead a guide one in areas that are specific for them as long as those areas are not directly against the very nature of God.
The Kingdom of God isn't a form of spiritual communism.

I just have a hard time believing the the Holy Spirit gives a flip about a woman wearing makeup whatever her vocation might be. I certainly don't see it in the bible.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
