To PM,
You say -“”Ohmedes L’nahsay” means “of marriageable age”, no indication of inside or outside the house.” I feel I’m going around & around with you. Do you remember my posts where I told you to look up the gemorah in Taanis? The reason a boigeres can wear makeup when she is an aveilah is because she has to look presentable in order to help her get married. There is/was no reason for her to look presentable in her house, she didn’t have an indoor date like some people do nowadays. The gemorrah clearly states that shiduchim took place outdoors. So she is allowed to wear makeup outside. I asked you and that guy Joe to please tell me what kind of issur there would be in wearing makeup- D’oraysa or D’rabbonon? I didn’t get an answer. But let’s say for argument sake it’s a D’oraysa, but since there is such an Inyan to wear makeup it even pushes off the issur D’oraysa of Aveilos. This same Inyan would push off the issur of wearing makeup in the streets. But this is just lomdis, there is no issur and even no reason to be macmir not to wear makeup in the streets!
