I don't like make up, it looks silly and unnatural. Most people would not tell you that you look silly with it on, because they don't want to upset you.
I wouldn't call it a 'sin' as such but here's a Bible passage for you.
1 Timothy 2;8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing. 9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God. - NIV Bible

[Love Thy Neighbor]

No, it's not a sin. I'm pretty sure it is for Jews and Muslims, but not for Christians. Jesus taught us to love one another. The greatest commandments are to love God, first and foremost, and to love others as you would love yourself. God doesn't care about makeup and hair and crap. As women, we're not suppose to tempt men, but in the modern day world, if a man is tempted by makeup and colored hair, that man needs to learn some self control. ;-)

[Kazoo M]

Truthfully, it is not a sin to use makeup or hair dye.
However, should we become obsessed with our looks, or spend unreasonable amounts of time or money on such things, then vanity would be an issue.
Even when questioned if we are using makeup or hair dye we can simply say "that is personal" although we should avoid telling a lie.
The above holds true for clothing and jewerly - even products that enhance our looks is perfectly acceptable!
Furthermore, we must remember and know where to draw the line - different forms of cosmetic surgery which cater only to our vanity may be sinful, if they reflect too great an emphasis on our physical appearance, as opposed to our spiritual condition, or if the cost of the surgery prevents us from meeting our financial obligations.

Peace be unto you'

How can you love someone you do not know? How can you know God when you have never learned what the bible teaches?

There is certainly nothing wrong with wanting to please your creator but in order to do that, you must learn the truth so you can practice it. The truth is found only in the bible, not on Y/A.

If you need help understanding the bible, contact Jehovah's
witnesses. Their help is free for the asking.

A Christian does not live to please himself. He lives to please Jehovah, his God. While God gives us the freedom to dress and put on makeup as we choose, a Christian is a Christian 24/7 and would not do anything to bring disgrace on Jehovah. That means your dress and grooming should conform to the standards of acceptance in your area and not call attention to yourself by being bizarre or offensive to others.

I am thinking you are very young, so you might like to know that there was a time, in America, that only prostitutes wore makeup. The nice girls had to bite their lips and pinch their cheeks to bring the blood to the surface.

There were some daring ones who used a combination of peroxide and ammonia to put blonde streaks in their hair but it didn't look natural. Then Clairol came out with the best selling slogan of all time - Does she, or doesn't she?

Their new hair color was natural looking and took most of the day to apply. It encouraged women to try other makeup and the rest is history.

God loves you. He just wants you to look nice, not freaky.

1 Timothy 2:9-10 ESV /

Likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.

Jeremiah 4:30 ESV /

And you, O desolate one, what do you mean that you dress in scarlet, that you adorn yourself with ornaments of gold, that you enlarge your eyes with paint? In vain you beautify yourself. Your lovers despise you; they seek your life.

1 Peter 3:3-4 ESV /

Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.

Remember what you allow yourself to think, see, hear, say and do literally set into motion Almighty God’s creative powers that form the matrix of life’s reality you find yourself now walking whether good or bad; so knowing this practice each day focusing your whole attention on your movements whether thoughts, sight, sounds, words or deeds, doing that which is good, positive and constructive.
"A man can no more diminish God's glory or His Son Jesus by refusing to worship them than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell."
The Daniel Project was playing on Netflix and can be found on Facebook; this documentary will open the eyes of some skeptics concerning the Word of God, prophecies fulfilled and Jesus the Christ of Nazareth, the Messiah.
If you do not know Jesus the Christ of Nazareth, the Messiah, as your personal savior, yet believe He is Lord, was born of the Virgin Mary, died for your sins, arose from the dead the third day and is now at the right hand of Almighty God, then if so lead say this simple prayer to be saved and have eternal life in the Kingdom of God and not be Judged for sins truly repented.
“Hear Oh Israel the Lord our God is one Lord and blessed is the Glory of the Lord from His place; Precious Jesus the Christ of Nazareth please forgive me my sins and come into my heart and life forever Amen.”
If you are sincere in this prayer then know for certain that you are saved and if you need help on your Christian walk email me back.

Hi, Sweetie,

No, it is not a sin to wear makeup, to do your hair, or to wear stylish clothes.

My sister used to dye her hair green. My other sister -- a quite legalistic woman -- said to me regarding the other sister, What do you think GOD is going to say about Suzie's green hair? I responded to her, I think God is going to say, Green is one of my favorite colors.

God judges the heart, not the hair. God judges the mouth, not the eyes. Out of the mouth proceed the matters of the heart. It is not what you put into your mouth that condemns you, but what comes out. Life and death lies in the tongue. Get it?
