Lions - the male lion has the mane - the female doesn't.
Birds - the male are the colorful ones - the female are the plainer ones.

I think it's in humans to be attractive... The standard or idea of being attractive can vary based on culture and conditioning.

Also, i don't think it's a sin in itself, but vanity is. Where is that line drawn? It can also vary imo. God knows the heart, and our hearts can deceive us.

I'd just be careful

You have hit upon a good point. The vanity can come from someone without a stitch of makeup on too!

Exactly =/ that's why is so hard to say "make up = vanity". Or to draw distinct lines using vanity as reasoning.

In my mind, someone could easily wear make up and not be vain. Just as you said, they could also not wear any and be vain.
