I have mandatory video calls for my job and without makeup I appear sick and older than my true age.  Like it or not, people judge your age and even intelligence by your appearance.   I added light makeup for dark circles, redness, and eyebrows (I'm naturally light blonde) so that I don't look sick, old, or weird.  I've discussed at length with a priest and I'm morally certain I'm not sinning.  I might wear it for special occasions, especially if I will be photographed.  My goal is to look healthy and fresh, not alluring or seductive.

Ah but you see looking healthy and fresh is attractive both for men and for women.

Catholics don’t have any issues with women wearing make up or men wearing makeup if it’s for the stage or  performances. Puritans are the ones against make up and adornment. In fact centuries ago it was the fashion for men and women to wear very white make up and powdered wigs but I wouldn’t go for that look 😀 it’s only a problem if you’re obsessed with your appearance and vanity. I think this thread may have an element of rage bait about it 😉😉

Lukewarm* Catholics. A few centuries ago was the evil 'enlightenment', I am not surprised seeing you make such a stupid and ignorant statement considering you think it's ok for your daughters to do ballet which is immodest and has immodest dress.

It's amazing how fake trad feminists will immediately label Catholic doctrine as "puritan". The other thread linked in this one has many quotes from Saints, you would do well to read and obey them.

Is it a sin to wear makeup?  For males...absolutely!
There's a big difference between concealer and makeup.
Ladislaus will have to stop with the mascara then I guess.
