Sorry, the way i said this was a bit mean.

I think if men trim their nose hairs or shave between their unibrow that it is a deceptive practice to fool potential partners that may not normally find cro-magnon men attractive.

Also if you shave your head to make baldness look "cooler" it is another way of masking the natural "Larry" look of just having a chrome dome with fringe hanging around the ears.

Trimming the birds-nests out of your ears is also an unnatural practice that potential suitors might find dishonest.

Are we Puritans or Catholics? A little subtle makeup on a woman, say 16 and up is fine if it enhances her appearance but doesn’t make her stick out or look like she’s in disguise or going on the stage or TV broadcast. 
100% “natural” is not an indication of morality as some extremists like to suggest. Should a person never cut, style or trim his or hair? Should men not shave at all and allow their hair and beards to grow at will? What about a woman with hair down to her ankles or a big shaggy unibrow and chin hairs? How does a woman with a mustaches, nose, and ear hairs look to you gentlemen?  Ladies, do you like a man who resembles a gorilla?  
There is no good reason for anyone to be accused having a demonic spirit for wearing a little makeup and being well groomed. In fact, if you look at Scripture, it’s the opposite. How did the demoniac in the tombs appear? Aside from being naked, he was unwashed and unkempt.  Once delivered, he reappeared clothed and appropriately groomed. Nebuchadnezzar lost his mind due to pride, and looked most frightful, all hairy like an animal in looks and behavior until God released him from his punishment. 
The other extreme, too much makeup, too lavish, too much attention to one’s appearance and it becomes idolatry. Look at Jezebel or Delilah, or Lot’s wife who was so enamored of the ways of Sodom she looked back in longing as God was destroying it and she was stuck, petrified into a pillar of salt. 

The use of makeup to conceal scars, discolorations, wigs, for women especially, to conceal hair loss, is not wrong. Is it sinful for a man or woman to remove superfluous hairs, like those growing from nose, ears, in eyebrows, or for a woman to remove chin, lip, and mole hairs?  
The same holds for jewelry. Should Catholics not wear any jewelry? No wedding rings, no wristwatches, for the ladies, no bracelet, necklace, or earrings? What about holy medals around the neck? Must they be hidden beneath clothes and no Rosaries doubling as jewelry? If your clothing lacks pockets, what better way to always have your Rosary than to wear it?  Again, jewelry can be overdone to the point of being gaudy, showing off one’s wealth, or just plain tacky, in poor taste. A Miraculous Medal on a gold chain makes a nice finishing touch to many women. A man who wears a St. Christopher or St. Benedict medal on a more masculine looking chain is fine, a way to let the world know he/she is not ashamed to publicly affirm his/her Catholicism.  One covers him/herself in all manner of jewelry is one who shows off. It is unfitting for a Catholic to have earrings all over his/her body. Some locations are just not suitable for earrings. It is not healthy, physically or psychologically to have a tongue rod, pierced nipples, pierced septum, private parts, damaged ear and nose cartilage. It shows disrespect for the body. But the wearing of a tasteful set of earrings, bracelet, and necklace is complimentary. Heaping one’s body with chains and holes or negatively affecting physical function is not of God. Women may wear more jewelry than men to reflect their femininity. A man wearing women’s jewelry is not masculine. Many “body modifications” are associated with paganism and are unhealthy. Japanese footbinding is crippling. Wearing a huge clay plate in one’s lower lip requires loss of lower teeth and affects eating and speech. Wearing golden bands around the neck so as to stretch the neck to the point where it cannot support the head if they are removed, is dangerous to the point of death. Designs in the skin made by cutting and burning can easily result in infection leading to sepsis. Catholics should not imitate these practices. 
Find a balance between Bigfoot and Bozo!  Moderation in all things, people! 

I don’t need to answer this, you’re obscuring my argument into a Vatican 2 style relativism. “Everything is dependent upon context”. Makeup is always wrong because it is always deceitful whether that is your intent behind it or not.

So far the main objections have been:
1. My acne is bad so people don’t like to look at me if I am without makeup.

2. I’m getting old and I don’t like it so I’m allowed to wear makeup.

3. A little bit of makeup isn’t deceptive because it is the same as grooming.

Context and intention does infact matter. What about men who go bald? Is it wrong for them to take the means to prevent baldness?

If they do it for women is it a sin?
If that women is their wife, is it a sin?
For random women?
If they do it for their own self esteem is it a sin?

I've seen it mentioned on this forum many times that moral theology is not clear cut black and white. There are nuances that cannot be overlooked. Most things do have a case by case basis.

Calling this Vatican 2 style relativism is a meme and does not help your argument.

Makeup is always wrong because it is always deceitful whether that is your intent behind it or not.

This is iillogical and infact irrational.
>I am right and everyone else is wrong
>Not because the Church said so
>But because I just am OK!

You know, all use of make up is evil we get that. Those evil powders and paints...

But what about a clown make up?

That seems appropriate to some people. What do our theologians say? Is it evil too?

This is why Lad is right and it does depend. A clown could be seen to make people laugh and happy, which is a good. Of course some people do not like clowns and are frightened of them.

Indeed, actors wear makeup all the time, for various roles ... to make them DELIBERATELY look like someone they're not, i.e. to "deceive" quite on purpose.

I addition, anyone appearing on TV might have some powder applied to prevent the lights to cause glare off their faces on the camera.

Soldiers will put on blackface on night missions as a form of camoflauge.

All this this would be intrinsically evil on account of "deceit".

At the end of the day, if you can either cite a source or articulate a rational argument in defense of your position, I'd consider it with an open mind.  But merely regurgitating your gratuitous assertion without any evidence or argument or proof, over and over again, doesn't suffice.

Cite some Magisterial or theological source that concurs with your opinion, preferably with some explanation of the principles involved ... why it's sinful, etc.

Of course, if you read ANY Catholic theologian, I would say that nearly 80% of their work involves an explanation of the principles in terms of when and under what conditions something is sinful or not sinful.  It's sinful to miss Mass on Sundays ... unless you're sick, legitimately impeded (car breaks down), need to provide a service in charity (take care of a sick family member), and on and on and on and on.  As mentioned, rare are the absolute intrinsic evils, where not even taking human life is intrinsically evil.

Yeah it really depends.

On similar topic it's no surprise that people get feelings of looking inadequate, because they compare themselves to actors who are usually people on the higher end of attractiveness, who always have makeup on for their films and events, and who always are in 'good' lightning. Not just the women, but even the male actors do this, many even get 'work' done to their faces.

On that topic is it deceitful to use good camera angles and lighting? I can look completely different in 1 angle from another. How look in real life can also depend on the lightning. A midday sun will make me look different to sunset/sunrise or indoor white overhead lighting.
