Says Me – do you know what my skin is like? You are assuming that the reason I am comfortable with my makeup coming off by shabbos morning is cause I have clear skin. That may be the case (as far as I am concerned you had no way of knowing that though), however my skin colouring and complexion mean I look like I am ill if I don’t wear makeup (since I have extremely pale skin and very pink cheeks – not a good combination for someone who is dark haired!)

I am not putting down those who have scarring or bad acne, but the reason those girls won’t go out on shabbos is not because of their skin, it’s because of their self-image and self-esteem. Not everyone with facial issues feels the need to stay indoors when they can’t put makeup on.
