I didnt get makeup till right before sem, although I awkwardly put on for shabbos once in a while.
In high school I made fun of people who wore makeup- like what, Hashem didn’t do a good job so you have to make yourself look like something your not?
And who is a frum girl trying to impress in high school anyway?
(That mehalach has gone out the window by now..)
I think that once a girl has reached “marriagable age” makeup is appropriate, and not before then, unless her self-esteem depends on it.
Now, when I come downstairs Friday night, and my grandmother sees me, she’ll say “Wow,you look beautiful!” and then, as a followup “Powder and paint makes a woman what she aint!”
Heartwarming, I know;)
