Is wearing makeup a sin?
It is a sin if you are using it for the wrong reasons.
If you are trying to attract attention or use it to seduce or deceive people then it is sin.
Men wearing makeup on play stages or as actors for tv quality "normal looks" makes sense in that context, outside of that, no. And if you are trying to look like a woman then no because God has warned on that sin perversion in Scripture.
Women wearing makeup could wear it to enhance their natural look (to look natural) not like a clown or prostitute. But at appropriate age and times.
If you follow those guidelines and are at an age your parents think it is ok then it is fine. Imo theres no need for anyone in school to wear it, once you are 19 or in college you could but your face is young looking and doesnt really need enhancement of natural look. It might be wise to wait until after you are over 19 or 21 when you either start a career or after college when you get a job.
It is really a waste of money also to be doing that before or when not necessary.
You arent needing to look attractive until you are looking to get married and tbh a godly man will be looking at your heart not your outward look. So there's not a need to try to draw them to you with outward looks. Doing so like that might make the men think you are loose and not pure. So you will attracting the wrong people.
1 Peter 3:3-4
You should not use outward aids to make yourselves beautiful, such as the way you do your hair, or the jewellery you put on, or the dresses you wear. Instead, your beauty should consist of your true inner self, the ageless beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of the greatest value in God's sight.
Once you are married you likely won't wear make up much at home, and only in special occassions. If you work you might wear it then but take it off when you get home, but at home you likely wouldnt typically wear it on the weekends. And once you have kids if you are a house wife then you likely won't wear it because theres no time for it.
