Ep.6- Is it Vain to Wear Makeup? What does the Church Say about Makeup and Vanity? This Catholic Woman’s Opinion

Beauty Advice Made Simple - Skincare, Makeup - & More For Christian Women

Is it Vain to wear makeup? Or - is it just vain to wear “too much?”

What about if you have neglected your looks for years and don’t wear any makeup at all?What does that say (or not) about your views on your own self worth?

We all have so many ideas about beauty and makeup and grooming, and I have often pondered these types of questions, especially as I have gotten older and came back home to my Catholic faith in 2014 - after being away from the Church for 26 years.

As someone who had personally, over all that time away, struggled with self esteem issues and not feeling good or “pretty” enough, I decided to do a little digging and uncover some ideas. I wanted to know - what did some of the most influential, holy, and prominent Saints in the Catholic Church have to say about makeup and the art of “dressing ourselves up?” Is it always bad, or is there a bit of wiggle room when it comes to “painting” our faces?

What I found was super interesting!

In this episode I talk about what I found out and how we can apply the ancient wisdom of two great Church Doctors - St. Augustine of Hippo and St. Thomas Aquinas, to how we view and WEAR makeup today in the 21st century!

Above all else, I prayed and asked God to lead me to a conclusion that allows me (and hopefully YOU too!) to have a healthy outlook on my own self esteem and wearing makeup while following his overall plan of goodness and beauty for our lives. I hope you enjoy!
