BenTorah:
“Its okay to wear makeup ON a date. There isn’t a justification to wear it all the time because you are in shidduchim.”
Who says wearing makeup requires a “justification”?
oomis1105:
“”The Gemorah in Shabbos 62b says that a reason for the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash was women used excessive cosmetics,”
And here I was thinking all these years that is was because of sinas chinam! Or were Kamtza and Bar Kamtza women…?”
Well apparently, the Gemora says there was more than one reason. Not sure why this got such a sarcastic reaction from you…
“”You can look good without makeup, just like Bais Yaakov girls do”
And many of those BY girls need the help of makeup, or they look washed out.”
No, they don’t need makeup, because their self-confidence is at the point where they don’t feel the need to wear it. It’s those who feel “schluchy” (whatever that means) without makeup who need to wear it to feel good about themselves.
