My two cents:

Though I am strongly against make-up and jewelry, I cannot sit and say
someone
is sinning because they wear it. There are women in my church who wear it,
and
unless you know they wear it (for whatever reason) you cannot tell they wear
it.

I used to criticize one sister for wearing make-up and tell her that she
better get
right before the rapture comes back!!! You know what she said? She said she
doesn't and never did wear make-up!! I felt really stupid after that!

Then when something happened in MY life, I realized how trivial the make-up
wearing really was! While I DO believe that IF worn, it should be done in
moderation and NOT to look like a woman on the street, but it remains my
person
preference and conviction that women don't wear it.
