I do agree with you that - today - it's more about the flesh and sinful desires. All of the covers of magazines in the grocery stores are crying out - "Look like a model, be accepted!!", so, yes, I understand what you are saying.
I just believe it is more imperative, than ever, to teach moderation and love. Love covers a multitude of sins.
Men have always been weak and I don't think I can contribute a woman's wearing of makeup as his downfall. She has many enticements she can use. It doesn't have to be the makeup.
I would prefer to lead a person to Christ and allow him to do the work. Watch what He moves on a person to take off or put on. It's a much more powerful work and thing to watch, IMO.
