No scripture? You just broke my irony meter. You don't want scripture. You want us to believe it because of your assumptions.

Pride....the haughty naughty look

You need to study the bible. The gospels discussed Jewish women. No reference to paint. Kosmos was greek and it seems Hebrew doesn't even have a word for makeup. Of course you are so frustrated and can't even tell us the bible translators 1611 had a word for makeup.

Go ahead and makeup scripture on makeup.

Cosmopolitan magazine is for the people that need cosmetics.
