All anony posters who are male should not be commenting on what women should or should not do.
1JUDGE not, that you may not be judged, 2For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3Any why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye? 4Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye? 5Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam in thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
I gather you sensed the insufficiency of Ladislaus's response, and felt the need to make a better one.
But your feminist response would have been better lef tunsaid for the weakness of principle it exhibits, which seems to be this:
No male (priest) can tell me whether or not I can wear makeup.
In fact, I find this attitude rather refreshing, since it is the true one which underlies most of the pro-makeup responses in this thread:
"I am woman, and I'm gonna' do what I want to do, and nobody can tell me any different."
Only about a 1/2 step from "Keep your Rosaries off my ovaries."
Meanwhile, the absence of any evidence from the lives of the saints evincing the wearing of makeup among any of them is a rather jarring (and to you, unpleasant) observation.
Surely there were some who, subjectively, did not consider the significance of what they were doing, and their ignorance saved them.
But that there is no mention of makeup in the lives of the saints is interesting.
Were we to research the entire Migne, would we have any better luck coming up with...something?
