I really think the issue here is the heart. many women adorn themselves wrongly from within, being a temptress and a jezebel without the make up... I dont wear much make up , or jewelery, but I love a chance to get all dressed up and made up nice!!! My heart is still the same, whether I have the make up on or off  I guess though, balance in everything is the key!!! lol.......I have had a giggle at some women all covered in makeup in the middle of an exercise class!!!! Maybe they are insecure, and are trying to find worth or value in keeping their make up on!!!

I do have a comment about this. I hope women will not be offended. I voted for the first one. However, I am alergic to many Perfumes and Makeup as well as other chemicals. I have very sensitive olfactory glands and therefore am very sensitive to the pheremones, smells, and other scets that people exude. I do not think wearing perfume or makeup is wrong or sinful. However, I do think that it that they conflict with the natural beauty of a person. I believe that God created pheremones for a man to understand if he is compatible sexually with his mate. Perfumes can confuse the smells he recognizes and, as in my case, may irritate him somewhat. As for makeup, women please do not beat me up on this, I believe that a persons closeness to God gives them a natural beauty complexion. This is what I am attracted to. I think that makeup is intended to cover the inner feelings that a woman may harbor about her self. Many of these negative feelings about herself are false. A little bit of makupp is ok. However, I think that a true good man will not need to see her outer beauty. But rather will be attracted to her inner beauty. So far every woman that I have been initially attracted to physically first has been a let down as I got to get to know her. I ask that the woman focus first on her relationship with God then the closer she is with him the more beautiful she will become.

I think the issue lies within the heart of the woman. If she is simply wanting to look nice and presentable then I think its fine for her to adorn herself appropriately. When a woman is wearing makeup and perfumes to seduce another and has a heart full of vanity than I think she may need to check herself. We all want to look nice and pretty but as long as our hearts aren't filled with conceit, I don't see anything wrong with it...

How about none of the above?

I am so glad that someone here referenced Esther and her beauty regime! - But let us not forget Ruth, and her mother-in-law's exhortation to put on her best and to purfume herself before going to Boaz! Goodness! We can get stuck on some of the most outward and insignificant things at times - But good question, as it has brought about several good responses! Frances

Esther was purfumed and made up before going to meet the King.....I like the more natural looks we have today than say, back in the 80s or 70s.

My personal belief is that if a woman wears make-up and/or perfume to attract the attention of the opposite sex, to cause him to look upon her with lust,it is wrong for she entices him to sin. But God says man looks on the outward appearance but He looks at the heart. First Samuel 16 vs 7 And let not your adornment be merely external----braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quite spirit, which is precious in the sight of the Lord. First Peter 3 vs 3,4 A real 'godly' man will look for the 'godly' qualities in a woman.  Elizabeth

Modesty and balance are important here, I think. Also, motive needs to be considered. Why is a person wearing makeup and perfume? The Lord told me to wear makeup and perfume. I never did, but when He started teaching me about acting and looking like a lady, He told me to wear makeup and perfume. You know what? It does make me feel more like a lady. That is why I wear it, because the Lord told me to. I want to be the lady He made me to be.

I think every woman has to make her own choice. Personally, I've discovered that it's not the make-up or perfume that I wear.... I've been asked out when I've been in my grubby painting clothes. But when I do go out on a date, they do make me feel feminine. I've had boyfriends who are allergic to one or the other and I respect that. I think those of you who have said that God looks on the heart are right on the money! I hope most men get to that point also.

a little bit of make up is my primary need, so for me their's nothing wrong of wearing make up and i think its not stated in the bible that wearing make up is a sin. Perfume is good but i have an allergy. just a little spring of perfume.

Fragrances especially these modern day chemical versions of fragrances can be very offensive to most people. If you happen to be a very sensitive person it is just as offensive or more so than cigarette smoke....When all of our grooming products also contain fragrance, they just don't go together. MakeUp should look natural, if it doesn't (is obviously makeup) then it is creating a false and often unpleasing impression. I have been complimented many times by men that I have met because I was not reeking with fragrances and my hair was not stiff and hard with spray. This things are also very unhealthy for the wearer.... Marilyn Texas Senior Singles 2fitness In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:6

1. looking good before God is a pure way/thought of presenting oneself to others.
