Make-up

[UntitledSingh]

A lot of Sikh women dont wear make-up because they believe that their body is beautiful as is.

But some Sikh women say that it is just for fun, and doesn't do any harm.

So what do you think about make-up? Would you wear it if you were or are a Sikh woman?

Sat Sri Akal:

Rehat Maryada forbids it.

no.

make up makes a person look fake

also, make up is to cover up the flaws.. not for the flawless creation of Vaheguroo ji

pg 1094 - Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Fifth Mehl:

I rise early, O my Husband Lord, to behold Your Vision.

Eye make-up, garlands of flowers, and the flavor of betel leaf, are all nothing but dust, without seeing You. ||3||

pg 1103 - Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

They all apply make-up to their eyes; there is little difference between their objectives.

But those eyes, to which the ointment of spiritual wisdom is applied, are approved and supreme. ||3||

pg 1203 - Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

O mother, my patience is gone. I am in love with my Husband Lord.

There are so many kinds of incomparable pleasures, but I am not interested in any of them. ||1||Pause||

Night and day, I utter, ""Pri-a, Pri-a - Beloved, Beloved"" with my mouth. I cannot sleep, even for an instant; I remain awake and aware.

Necklaces, eye make-up, fancy clothes and decorations - without my Husband Lord, these are all poison to me. ||1||

pg 1361 - Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

O my companion, I have prepared everything: make-up, garlands and betel-leaves.

I have embellished myself with the sixteen decorations, and applied the mascara to my eyes.

If my Husband Lord comes to my home, then I obtain everything.

O Lord! Without my Husband, all these adornments are useless. ||3||
