Who told you to stop appreciating how the LORD GOD CREATED you? Stop masking what JESUS CHRIST formed. By wearing makeup, you are HIDING behind a MASK. You are LYING to YOURSELF and to OTHERS. You’re basically saying GOD made a MISTAKE with you. You with MAKEUP on is NOT the REAL/NATURAL you. Makeup is DESTRUCTIVE. By putting makeup on, you’re already ADMITTING to yourself that there is SOMETHING WRONG with you and that feeling of INSECURITY is what DESTROYS your SOUL because by then you’re rejecting GOD’s BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT design...YOU! You were made in HIS IMAGE! satan HATES that and will do WHATEVER he can to sway you from the FATHER that LOVES YOU DEARLY just the way HE made you. Don’t believe me? Why do you think that old serpent SEDUCED Eve to eat the fruit? Because he’s a bitter hater who’s jealous that GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH and he wants to ruin GOD’s PERFECT MASTERPIECE! You probably didn’t think anything of it, but by putting make up on you’re playing GOD in a sense. Think about it...GOD created your FACE, but you’re trying to make what YOU think is a “BETTER” face. That’s just like when lucifer thought he could be a better god and make a better world. Well, we all know how that turned out; the world is a disaster!
Have you ever thought of HOW MANY CHEMICALS there are in the INGREDIENTS LIST of makeup products? Makeup DESTROYS your FACE.
1) Makeup can CLOG your pores
7) Cause INTERNAL DAMAGE like INFERTILITY or HORMONE effects
9) Give you DAMAGED LIPS, DRY SKIN, ACNE
10) LONG LASTING products LAST TOO LONG because they SINK DEEP into YOUR SKIN
11) REFINED makeup contains MUCH SMALLER and STRONGER particles than they’ve ever been. When the particles are THIS TINY, they can SNEAK past your skin’s PROTECTIVE LAYERS and the TOXINS WITHIN THE COSMETICS can LEECH their way into your body’s SYSTEMS and ORGANS
12) Sharing makeup can cause BACTERIAL infections like eye infections, cold sores, common sicknesses, staph infections, herpes
13) Makeup ITSELF can BREED BACTERIA over time, causing damage even without makeup sharing. Makeup provides a FERTILE breeding ground for bacteria, especially LIQUIDS like FOUNDATION, MASCARA, LIP GLOSS.
14) Make you sick/give you an infection
SO MANY females HATE to go out WITHOUT makeup. They even have a “No Makeup Makeup Look”. Makeup companies even TEST on ANIMALS. Have you ever thought why they call it “MAKEUP”? Maybe because women/girls are MAKING UP a FALSE, FAKE IDENTITY/FACE or MAKING UP for what THEY think GOD LACKED when HE created them or MAKING THEMSELVES an IDOL. By wearing & putting on makeup, we begin to reflect what the devil thinks we should look like instead of what our PERFECT GOD created us to look like!
Be HONEST with YOURSELF. We put on makeup to ENTICE, SEDUCE, ATTRACT, BE PRIDEFUL IN OURSELVES, TEMPT, MAKE OTHERS ENVY/BE JEALOUS OF US, DECEIVE, ENSNARE, MESMERIZE, ALLURE, etc. We make ourselves to LOOK like WHORES/HARLOTS.
The BIGGEST thing about makeup is that we use it to MAKE OUR OWN FACES/BODIES an IDOL. We WORSHIP OURSELVES as gods. People also call their faces or bodies “canvases” and they literally make themselves a GRAVEN IMAGE and bow down & serve their OWN SINFUL, fleshly needs.
The ONLY ONE we BOW&SERVE is the LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST.
In the book of Exodus 20:3-5 “Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;”
Even Jezebel PAINTED her face. In the book of 2 Kings 9:30 “And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window.”
Be thankful for what the Lord Jesus Christ blessed you with. Repent and put away with vain things. This includes but is not limited to ALL physical makeup, ALL photo apps where you put makeup on digitally or filters that add on makeup, ALL FORMS of FAKERY and LIES.
[Lord willing, I’ll give a testimony of my experience with makeup at a later time.]
