Dave:
 Out of the 31,101 verses in the Bible, not one
> gives a direct command against make-up.

Me: 1 Timothy 2, "9 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; 10 But (which becometh women professing
godliness) with good works." and 1 Peter 3, "1 Likewise, ye
wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any
obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by
the conversation of the wives; 2 While they behold your
chaste conversation coupled with fear. 3 Whose adorning let
it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and
of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But let
it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not
corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit,
which is in the sight of God of great price."

Question: Can make up be considered "costly array" or be
included in "putting on of apparal?"  This gets to the
HEART of the matter also.
