I really don't see that wearing glasses or a hearing aid is an
improvement upon one's self.  I wear glasses and it's out of a necessity
so that I can see and if I was to wear a hearing aid it would also out of
necessity so I could hear when someone speaks. I do have to agree though
that if a person exercised he/she could be doing it to improve upon
themselves, but i would hope it was for health purposes and not to
develop a physique to draw attention to one's self.

Make-up an improvement???  

Natural beauty is God-given and maybe it shouldn't be pampered with.  

Who is the one to decide the depth and width of moderation?  

We really shouldn't let the fact that Jezebel wore make-up decide that
its right or wrong.  Just because Jesus didn't condemn make-up users in
the bible (prostitutes, harlots) doesn't justify it's use; Yes, He did
reach out to Mary Magdalene and changed her life. What kind of changes? 
Was it just on the inside??  

I do believe that if we as true Apostolics will let the Holy Ghost do
what Jesus intended for the Holy Ghost to do, Make-up will be one of
those vices that will fall by the wayside, just as drugs, drinking,
adulteries, swearing, smoking did.

Would a person with a real upper room EXPERIENCE and living for God say
2-5-10-15-20 years be wearing that stuff?? I am willing to step out on to
a limb and say I DON'T THINK SO.

Jezebel is there any connection between your fornication and that stuff
on your FACE??   :-/

If the make-up has that seductive power to seduce His servants or those
that are not His servants to fornication and other sins then it's wrong!
