Health,

I quoted the Gemorah and the Shevet Levi, and you take issue with that? Take up your issue with the Gemorah and the Shevet Levi, not myself. And don’t make “assumptions.”

And the cosmetics should not be for the inside AND outside. That is clear from the poskim, including what I quoted (amongst others.)

You mention Shulchan Aruch, so let me quote you some Shulchan Aruch:

Shulchan Aruch (73:1): A man must give his wife clothing like women normally wear outside. A woman should not go outside much. The beauty of a woman is to stay inside – “Kol Kevudah…”

Rambam (Hilchos Ishus 13:11): A man must give his wife clothing like women normally wear outside in order that she can go to her father or a house of mourning or Simchah. She may go to these places to bestow Chesed to her friends and relatives, in order that they will come to her. She is not a prisoner who may not come and go. However, it is degrading for a woman to always be outside and on the streets. A man should prevent his wife from doing so. She should go outside once or twice a month, according to the need. The beauty of a woman is to stay inside – “Kol Kevudah Bas Melech Penimah”.
