What is the truth about makeup? Most
women—even some little girls—wear it. Yet
few know its history. Even fewer know what
God’s Word says about it. Are cosmetics
addressed in the Bible? Does it approve their
use? Is makeup wrong—sin? What principles
apply? Patiently read through to know this hidden truth.

The cosmetics industry makes billions of dollars annually. Fashion and
Hollywood have set the standards for “beauty,” and most people agree
with their taste. Women of all ages wear make up! To most, it is important to be
fashionable. But is this practice right—or wrong? Could it even be sin? Is
painting your face “fashionable” to God?
Of course, some have no interest in what God says. The Bible has no
meaning or value to them. They are not concerned with pleasing God. They are
only interested in pleasing themselves or being accepted by people. Yet, others
are concerned with what God says, but do not know His will.
The Bible is God’s Instruction Book to mankind. It reveals all the essential
truths and principles necessary for salvation. However, most have rejected
it as a Source of authority in their lives. They are content to believe traditions
without actually taking the time to prove why they do what they do. Most are
also content to coast through life believing and operating on assumptions.
Others simply practice what they do because of habit—and old habits die hard.
Yet we must ask: Is the use of makeup something that only religious
extremists worry about? Are “fanatics” the only ones who would consider such
a question? Or is it something you should be concerned about?
You need to know what the Bible clearly states about this subject. If makeup
is important to God, it has to be mentioned in His Word—both specifically
and in principle.
Wearing makeup is a worldwide custom—yet it is one that has become
socially acceptable more recently than you may think. Therefore, to even question the use of makeup may seem old-fashioned or out-dated to countless millions
of women—and, of course, men—who have grown accustomed to and
comfortable with its widespread use.

HERE IS AN ABRIDGED VERSION.
The last two decades have seen make-up progress from its early
category of woman’s conceit to become an art and an integral part of feminine
beauty and psychology. Chief credit for this about-face in the acceptance of
widespread use of cosmetics should go to the motion picture industry, which
set new standards of beauty and…brought new products and principles of
application and use to the world’s women” (Encyclopedia Americana, Vol. 18,
1956 Edit., p. 157)
At the turn of the twentieth century, makeup was viewed as something
only proud, even arrogant women wore. With the invention of movies and television,
Hollywood injected into the limelight the image of a movie starlet’s
face covered with cosmetics. Once this image was accepted by the masses, cosmetics
became commonplace.
The movie industry has been most responsible for associating makeup
with exquisite beauty, by presenting Hollywood actresses as sex goddesses. It
became natural that young girls and women would wish to be as attractive and
desirable as world-famous screen idols.
Hundreds of millions of adoring fans want to look like their favorite
movie stars. Even little girls can become obsessed with being pretty, when
they should be enjoying childhood and playing with dolls and toys. They can
easily become slaves to fashion trends that are inseparable from using makeup.
Vanity—the desire to look more beautiful—is what causes women to paint
their faces, and is perhaps the most powerful of human drives.
Psalm 39:5-6 states, “…verily [truly] every man at his best state is altogether
VANITY…Surely every man walks in a VAIN SHOW [an image].” Vanity is a powerful
force in all human beings, and it is far stronger than most understand.
The obsession with looking young, and turning back the clock, has now
gone beyond outrageous. Consider this: 1.6 million women, even some
men, are now injecting tiny amounts of a deadly poison, Botox (from botulism),
under the skin of the face to remove wrinkles. Within four days, the
toxin in the treatment literally paralyzes the facial muscles and temporarily
smoothes the skin. (The treatments only last for 90 days.) The goal is to“look the best you can for as long as you can”—for $150 to $1000 per treatment!
Botox is only the beginning of the threat from various harmful chemicals
and toxins that are latent in cosmetics. This has long been understood!
Consider the meaning of the word mascara. If we just accept the word for
what it is, then it becomes its own honest statement from the cosmetics industry.
It comes from the word mask, and the word masquerade also derives from
it. In essence, to wear mascara is to wear a mask—and to masquerade as something
that one is not—for the purpose of vanity and perceived beauty

Plainly, the use of makeup started nationally in Egypt. The Bible uses
Egypt as a type of the sins of this world, which Christians are commanded to
come out of.
Even before its use in Egypt, the original painted harlot was Semiramis,
the mother-wife of Nimrod, and the founder of the Babylonian Mystery
Religion.
Semiramis is known as the mother of all harlots. She used makeup, as well
as suggestive whorish clothing, for various religious and sexual rituals.
They adopted this dress into their culture from Semiramis, in an attempt to appear more like the many gods and goddesses they worshipped. History shows how women applied makeup to change their appearance and seduce men. Harlots and “matrons” (the female leaders of prostitution rings)
were specifically recognized by their silk, jewels and cosmetics)
The first women to wear makeup were prostitutes! Changing one’s appearance
by facial paint is a custom ancient PROSTITUTES have dictated to the modern
age. Cosmetics were nothing more than a device used by harlots to, in
effect, teach men to break the Seventh Commandment.
Do you also know that the kingdom of darkness possesses makeup kits with demons and they use it to initiate many people unknownly? Do you know that it is the marine kingdom that uses makeups when they are going for a mission?

BIBLE PROOF
In The book of Hosea 4:6, the bible said that "my people perish for lack of knowledge". Many people perish everyday for lack of knowledge of the word of God. We must understand that the ways of God are not the ways of man. Remember that "There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death"(Prov.16:25).
But let’s not play games with, or try to reason around, what God DOES
say. The apostle Paul wrote, “PROVE all things; hold fast that which is good” (I
Thes. 5:21). Let’s prove what the Bible said about makeups in the following passages;

1. Jeremiah 4:30, “…though you deck yourself
with ornaments of gold, though you rented your face with painting, in vain
shall you make yourself fair [beautiful]; your LOVERS will despise you, they
will seek your life.”
2.Exodus 33:5-6 "5 For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee. 6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.KJV"
3. Isa 3:16-22 "16 Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: 17 Therefore the LORD will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts. 18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon, 19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, 20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, 21 The rings, and nose jewels, 22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,KJV"
4. II Kings 9:30 “And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she PAINTED HER FACE, and tired her head, and she looked out at a window”. Jezebel put on makeup to try to seduce Jehu and escape impending death.
5. REVELATION 17:4-5 "4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.KJV"
In fact, there are many bible verses; read: Ezek.23:40, Gen.35:4, Hos.2:13, 1Tim.2:9, e.t.c. And you may be suprise that this things are in the bible, and they are obnoxious to righteousness.


MESSAGE TO THE CHURCH.

Think carefully. Consider those who wore makeup: the false prophetess
Jezebel, two whoring sisters, Aholah and Aholibah, and the adulteress Judah
are the only Bible examples of women (real or by analogy) who wore makeup!
Now think of the most well-known, righteous women of the Bible. Name
a single one (Old or New Testament) who wore makeup. There is no mention
of Sarah, Rebecca, Ruth, Naomi, Mary (Christ’s mother), Deborah, Abigail,
Esther or any other virtuous woman ever applying or wearing makeup. The fact
that the only examples of those who wore makeup are adulteresses, harlots and
false prophetesses serves as a great warning to anyone who cares about the
Word of God and wishes to follow the Bible’s righteous examples instead of
the wicked.
Don't forget that God has wonderfully and carefully made you. (Ps.139:14), He made man in His own image and likeness (Gen.1:27) and God saw that everything He made was good.
Paul had to address this thinking in another context: “Who are you that replies against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus?” (Rom. 9:20). Is this something you want to ask God— either by word or action? Be careful that you are not guilty of questioning
God’s judgment in creating you exactly as He did.
Paul asks, “What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy
Spirit which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?” (I
Cor. 6:19). 1 Peter 3:3 tell us of the vanity of outward beauty.
In 1John2:15-17 tells us not to love the things of the world. while the book of 1 Thes.5:22-23 says that we must keep our body and soul blameless.
Remember: “There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end
thereof are the ways of death” (Prov. 14:12; 16:25). This warning is for all who
have “ears to hear” (Rev. 3:13).
Paul writes, “And be not conformed to this world: but be you TRANSFORMED
by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that
good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Rom. 12:2).
In Rev.21:8, "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.KJV". Don't be among the unbelieving and continue in abomination.
Repent now, Remove everything that the great accuser (the devil) will use to accuse you before your creator on your judgement day.
You must burn all your makeups and ask God to show you mercy. Then you must locate a bible believing church, which teaches this truth to be delivered from the demonic powers of those makeups.

Do you know that makeup is obnoxious to righteousness as stated in. Gen.35:4, Ex.33:4-6, Jer.4:30, Is.3:16-22, Rv.17:4-5, e.t.c?
Do u know dat no holy woman mentioned in d bible wore makeup only prostitutes?
Take ur time to read all, that you may not perish for your lack of knowledge.(hosea.4:6).

Oh! I see....
Alright pls, your post goes down to the line that those who wear make up will go to hell.
Let's start this way. Who will go to hell? Is it those that do not accept Jesus or those that wear make up?

Any1 dat accept Jesus must let go of all worldliness and follow Him. Beside Jesus said, if u luv me, keep my word (as contained in the bible). So don't rely ön tradition and assumption.

A number of holiness-based Christian groups have come to
that conclusion, but doing so fails to consider the numerous
other passages in the Bible that actually appear to endorse the
use of jewelry. In fact, many places in the Bible show that
God uses jewelry as a blessing to his children.
One of the first passages in the Bible to deal with jewelry is
Gen 24:47, 48 which reads,
“And I asked her, and said, whose daughter art thou? And she
said, the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare
unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the
bracelets upon her hands. And I bowed down my head, and
worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my
master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take
my master's brother's daughter unto his son.”
Here we have a rather tender story of Abraham's servant
giving jewelry to Rebekah, who was the woman God had
specially chosen for Isaac. The servant then bows his head
and worships God. If jewelry were sinful, his offering it as a
gift to Rebekah, and then subsequently worshipping God,
would be irreverent and inappropriate.
We find another such example in Gen 41:42, which says,
“And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon
Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and
put a gold chain about his neck...”
Joseph was one of the greatest men of the Old Testament, and
God blessed him greatly because of his faithfulness. In this
verse, we find Joseph accepting jewelry as a gift from
Pharaoh. If God forbade jewelry, undoubtedly, Joseph would
have rejected this gift.
David, the man said to be after God’s own heart,1 writes in Ps
25:12,
“As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a
wise reprover upon an obedient ear.”
David compares gold earrings to the way an obedient ear
accepts wise instruction. Surely if jewelry were a sin, David
would never have made a comparison between wise behavior
and something that is sinful.
The prophet Isaiah wrote in Isa 61:10,
“I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in
my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of
salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a
bride adorneth herself with her jewels.”
Isaiah compares righteousness and salvation to a bride and
bridegroom who adorn themselves with jewelry. Would Isaiah
compare a sinful activity to the salvation and righteousness of
God?
God, through Jeremiah, speaks of jewelry in this way:
“Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? Yet
my people have forgotten me days without number.” (Jer
2:32)
God compares forgetting about him to a maid who forgets her
jewelry. Again, if jewelry were sinful, God would never have
made such a comparison.
In Ezek 16:11-13, God says that he has blessed his children
with bracelets, necklaces, earrings, jewels and crowns,
“I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon
thy hands, and a chain on thy neck. And I put a jewel on thy
forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown
upon thine head. Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver;
and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered
work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou
wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a
kingdom.”
God would not offer his children something sinful as a gift or
reward.
Some may argue that God once gave and blessed the use of
jewelry, but because of the vanity and disobedience of Israel,
he no longer does, which is why it is forbidden in the New
Testament. The problem with such an assertion is that it is not
taught in the scriptures. In fact, the scriptures contradict such
an idea. Luke 15:22 says,
“But the father said to his servants, bring forth the best robe,
and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand…”
This verse is from the parable of the Prodigal Son, given by
Jesus. Surely, Jesus would not have used a sinful practice as
part of his parable.
Considering the overwhelming body of evidence that God not
only doesn’t condemn the use of jewelry but has actually
given it as a gift to his faithful children, it cannot reasonably
be stated that jewelry is a sin. In light of this, let's take
another look at the verses used to support the belief that the
use of jewelry is forbidden:
“Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of
plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of
apparel…” (1 Pet 3:3)
“In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest
apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided
hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array…” (1 Tim 2:9)
What exactly are Peter and Paul teaching in these verses?
They are simply teaching that Christians should be more
concerned with beautifying the inward man than beautifying
the outward man. They are teaching that as Christians, we
should not be overly concerned with outward beauty. Jewelry,
like every other good thing from God, can and has been
abused by carnal man.
It is important not to take one or two passages in isolation and
make a doctrine out of them without first considering the
entire weight of scriptural teachings. Doing so will inevitably
lead to errant teachings and inaccurate assumptions about
God’s word. These verses that deal with outward modesty are
certainly no exception. A careful and honest evaluation of all
relevant scriptures reveals that Paul is not forbidding the use
of jewelry; he is merely instructing us to use it in moderation
and to place the greater emphasis on inward adorning.

thy hands, and a chain on thy neck. And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head. Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and bordered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.”
God would not offer his children something sinful as a gift or reward.
Some may argue that God once gave and blessed the use of jewelry, but because of the vanity and disobedience of Israel, he no longer does, which is why it is forbidden in the New Testament. The problem with such an assertion is that it is not
taught in the scriptures. In fact, the scriptures contradict such an idea. Luke 15:22 says, “But the father said to his servants, bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand…”
This verse is from the parable of the Prodigal Son, given by Jesus. Surely, Jesus would not have used a sinful practice as part of his parable.
Considering the overwhelming body of evidence that God not only doesn’t condemn the use of jewelry but has actually given it as a gift to his faithful children, it cannot reasonably be stated that jewelry is a sin. In light of this, let's take
another look at the verses used to support the belief that the use of jewelry is forbidden: “Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of
apparel…” (1 Pet 3:3) “In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array…” (1 Tim 2:9)
What exactly are Peter and Paul teaching in these verses?
They are simply teaching that Christians should be more concerned with beautifying the inward man than beautifying the outward man. They are teaching that as Christians, we should not be overly concerned with outward beauty. Jewelry, like every other good thing from God, can and has been abused by carnal man.
It is important not to take one or two passages in isolation and make a doctrine out of them without first considering the entire weight of scriptural teachings. Doing so will inevitably lead to errant teachings and inaccurate assumptions about
God’s word. These verses that deal with outward modesty are certainly no exception. A careful and honest evaluation of all relevant scriptures reveals that Paul is not forbidding the use of jewelry; he is merely instructing us to use it in moderation
and to place the greater emphasis on inward adorning.

Young man, what is in discussion here is MAKE UP. Even at that, your jewelry issue you brought in has no backing whatsoever for you to use them, even with your plethora scriptures you quoted.

Rather than congratulate you also, i'd shake my head at you.
You know what the gospel means? It means good news. What Jesus preached is not a gospel of fear but good news that brought smiles to the face of people and to make life simple for them.

I think you are something also. I think the good news also include you to continue living in sin and wake up in Abraham's bosom at your death.

When christians die, they dont go to Abraham's bosom. One proof you need to study your bible.
