So the final judgment belongs to God and HIM alone.

There are a lot of topics in your post.
I lived in sin in the world. Picked up a lady that was to become my wife. She and friends at the beech enjoyed the sun. No makep up in the yacht racing, beech volley ball crowd years ago but the sunworshippers sure did the tan and the skinpy swim suits. Even tanning is done for purposes of idolatry often times to get a look. (and melanoma later on) And I know folks that are tanned and it is not intentional. it just comes with what they do and has no objective.
I am opposed to most artifical colorations because the motives under them are the bigger problem
This thread argues that it is all ok because the bible is not explicit about cosmetics. The bible is incredibly explicit about attitudes and cosmetics almost 100% are used and to the behavioral world are such an obvious display of attitudes. (they don't remind us of sack cloth and ashes)
I am ok with
cosmetic surgery of a reconstructive nature. I am also aware of augmentatins and cosmetic revision surgeries often have latter side effects.
Cosmetics eye salve A&D ointments, lotions, scrubbing products cleansing, fragrances, shaving grooming, ex foliating, etc are fine
Paints, lipstick, colored nail polish, rouge, tattoos, mascara, eye shadow, no.
Piercings, loudly no!!!
Now if the gossipers want to bristle, I will also tell them that the wiccans, witches pagans see our intent in using things as a way to be supportive of many of their core beliefs. that means for example, a satanist feels good seeing tattos. He sees it as having a common ground with him.
They need to learn how false religions think to see that purity and modesty really do set us appart. Purity and modesty inside and outside.
