What Does God Say About Makeup
Imagine God holding a makeup brush. He whispers, “I gave you cheekbones for a reason, child—look at Moses’ face after he talked to Me. That dude literally glowed (Exodus 34:29). You think I’m against a little highlighter?”
And the Song of Solomon? That book is basically a divine love poem where the groom compares his bride’s cheeks to “halves of a pomegranate” (4:3). Pomegranates are red and gorgeous. If God finds a woman’s natural cheeks that beautiful, a dab of blush is just a tribute. He’s the original poet of pigment.

A Surprising Fact from Church History
Early Christian women did debate makeup. But by the fourth century, Saint Clement of Alexandria—yes, a saint—wrote that men and women should “adorn themselves” with moderation, not abstain completely. He even said a little rouge is fine if you’re married and your husband likes it! So basically, the first church fathers were saying, “Use your judgment, and maybe ask your spouse.” That’s shockingly sensible advice from guys who spent a lot of time arguing about angels on pinheads.
