each and every day of my life, my husband tells me how beautiful I am, and of course,
probably to most of the 'world' I would not be, but he says that my Light from The Lord
shines 24-7, how could I doubt such a Godly man's opinion??? His Love humbles me
to the core of my being...I am truly very blessed...

Women have that morning glow as a result of a beauty rest. There was one morning when my cousin, who is a photography enthusiast took my I just woke up like this photo. Maybe I looked so pretty and glowing that he could not resist. I thought seriously? I was not smiling when the pics came out. Lol. That was before digital age.

I've heard the saying about "old barns" needing paint before. My only problem with the analogy is that I don't believe any woman should be compared to an "old barn".
It is not makeup which makes a wife beautiful to her husband. It is the inner heart of the wife and her love and devotion to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This is what makes the impact on the heart of her husband.
Proverbs 31:30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
I do not know if you are married, but if you are, do you think your husband has never seen you without makeup? Are you less beautiful to him when you do not have makeup on?

Men are visual creatures. God made them this way. They like looking at beautiful women. Men report “falling in love at first sight” more often than women by a hefty percentage. Knowing the visual nature of men, I think women are short changing their husbands by not looking as attractive as they possibly can. If a woman is dressed with her hair and makeup on, looking like a snack, he is much more likely to be sent off to work thinking about his pretty wife than be distracted by the pretty women at the office.
If a woman looks like a drudge and makes no effort (or minimal effort) of course he is going to look at women at the office and think “I wish my wife would dress like that.”
I am old fashioned, but I personally think women have a duty to look as good as possible for their husbands. It kind of goes back to the “husband’s body belongs to the wife and the wife’s body belongs to the husband.”

Okay, we want to get philosophical? Let's get philosophical.
To me a woman, or a man for that matter, is the personality. For me a body is just what the person is wearing. We don't get to choose the bodies we wear, but I don't really pay attention to the body anyway. If I ever get married I am going to marry a woman who is a good person. Whether she has an esthetically pleasing body is not just of secondary importance, it is a complete non-factor.
Thus if a woman puts makeup on to make her face more esthetically pleasing (by some standards) it does not make her more pretty to me. Makeup DOES to some extent hide the emotions playing on the face, which is of vital importance to me. The emotional state is part of a person's beauty... or ugliness. So makeup for me is a definite minus, because I can no longer see the woman's true beauty.
Of course all these faces with makeup on them don't belong to me. They belong to the people who are wearing those bodies and it is their option whether to paint their faces or not. But personally I'd rather nobody wore makeup. I can't tell nearly as much about a person who is wearing a lot of makeup, and nice people don't look nearly as pretty with makeup. (And crabby people need the warning signs clearly visible on their faces to warn people away from them.)

Why do you think that a woman who does not wear makeup "looks like a drudge" or that she "makes no effort (or minimal effort)"?
Some women who do not wear makeup actually know how to dress without "short changing their husbands" and actually do look "as attractive" as women who wear makeup.
And if you believe the only reason a husband steps out on his wife is because she does not wear makeup, you are deceiving yourself.

Perhaps because I am from the South, and women who take care of themselves wear makeup, nice clothes, coiffed hair, and jewelry. All this takes a lot of time and effort. My darling grandmother looked like a million bucks all dressed up for church, and my grandfather was very proud of his beautiful wife. Sunday was their “date day” and he would take her out to eat after church. They were not rich, but actually poor. It did not stop her from looking good for herself and her husband.
When I was a child, my grandmother came to school to eat lunch with me on grandparents’ day. I was in the third grade. She wore a dress, pantyhose, high heels, makeup, and jewelry. Why? Because she loved me. All the kids told me how beautiful my grandmother was, and I was as proud as punch. Other grandmothers did not make such an effort.
Someone mentioned Dolly Parton, a woman I greatly admire for her sweetness and beauty of spirit and talent as well as her desire to make herself physically beautiful. But I am Southern, and we like make up. It means “I am making an effort”.

I have never been "hot". And I am not very pretty. But I like to be genuine and honest.
It doesn't mean that I don't care about how I look. I do take care of myself. I don't smoke and drink, I wash with good facial soap and use moisturizer. I have therefore not that many wrinkles, pimples or big pores. Due to no smoke and coffe, my teeth are not stained. No smoke and alcohol, good shampoos and conditinor and my hair looks quite healthy, too. A bit grey, but that is what should be expected at my age. I wouldn't color it if you paid me. I don't wear jewlery, but on special occasions I might put on a pearl necklace. My nails are short and not painted. But they are clean and groomed. And I like to dress well. Not too flashy, but color coordinated. And I am fanatic about taking showers. I would hate to smell sweaty.
Does that make me less attractive? Perhaps. But then, when the make up is off, who are you? And is a ugly face less ugly with makeup? Really?(I don't really think of other people as ugly, because all have their own unique beauty).
Biblical virtues for me doesn't advocate make up. To be humble, modest, decent and honest are the virtues I want to strive towards. And that includes clothing and make up, too.
And honestly. It seems immoral to use thousands of dollars on make up, fancy clothes, shoes and bags just to try to look good. And that includes botox and what ever beauty surgery, too. Our sisters and brothers are persecuted and starving in this world, and women pay 40 bucks for a lipstick?
If someone ever will find me attractive, I hope it will be because of who I am. Not who I pretend to be.

Hey y'all
Once again, Pipp has inspired me.
Her thread "The Ugly Truth" got me thinking: One of the prettiest looks on a woman is messed up morning hair and no makeup. And I know a lot of other guys feel this way.
But a woman will insist till she's blue in the face that she's like a movie monster in that condition. And a man will insist just as strongly that he is looking at a supermodel.
A woman will be convinced that a man just says things like that to make her feel better. At the same time, a man will say that that's how he really feels.
I've never been married but I can safely say that when a man has a woman to himself, that just makes her more appealing to him. Even when she is upset about her appearance.
So ladies (those who are married), if you know your husbands well enough, you can trust that they mean it when they tell you that you're beautiful to them.

and so true
i prefer the natural look
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I do not know if you are married or not. However, if you are, I believe your husband has seen you without makeup and with "morning hair".
Would your husband think you are less beautiful when you have just gotten out of bed and have not had time to put on your makeup or fix your hair?
And I don't really care whether women wear makeup or don't wear makeup. I just disagree with the statement that women who don't wear makeup look like drudges or don't make an effort to look good for their husbands (just like I don't believe any woman should be compared to an old barn).

I have two daughters. One with fine straight hair and one with coarse curly hair.
The one with curly hair goes through great lengths to straighten it and won't go anywhere without make-up.
The one with fine straight hair likes to curl her hair and only wears make-up for work and special occasions.
It seems to be more of a personality trait than an upbringing on whether a girl/woman will wear make-up all the time or not.
I personally prefer the natural look. For all ages. Putting on make-up is almost like wearing a mask.
What I find really un-attractive is older ladies getting surgeries and operations to try and make their facial appearance younger. There is a certain attractiveness in women aging gracefully with all the wrinkles and lines and everything.
