For years I’ve been wearing make-up (eyeliner, mascara) because it makes me feel good about myself…more attractive with it on…& builds self-confidence. But there’s always been this discomfort feeling inside, as though I’m deceiving God (& myself) because perhaps I don’t appreciate the natural beauty that He gave me…like I’m wearing a mask. Is that bad or sinful of me to want to wear make-up? Some say it’s not a big deal, but I feel like there’s something more to it than that or it wouldn’t be bothering me. I can go without make-up when I’m working, at school, or going to the store, but when it’s at a social event, I feel like I have to wear make-up to be noticed by a guy, even though I know that “beauty is skin deep” and people tell me that I am beautiful inside and out. Most times, I feel like I’m trying to convince myself that it’s okay to wear make-up because most women today wear it to look older and/or seem pretty…but is my social status worth more than God’s will?..definately not! Can someone interpret what I’m feeling and provide a better solution instead of me worrying over & over about this?
