[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a basis in the Koran for it being ok to wear makeup but requiring hair to be covered?  I've seen several muslim women wearing headscarves with really terrific makeup on, it looked nice but I didn't understand how it was consistent.[/quote]

Not OP but Another Muslim poster: nope it's not consistent... you're not supposed to beautify and attract attention in any way... everyone interprets that in a different way. I don't think wearing makeup (natural looking) is attracting attention but a headscarf is and so i don't wear a scarf.. other women feel differently about the subject. The Quran encourages modesty and has different rules for it. As always people interpret them differently. But a truly conservative person would say that a scarf with makeup in public is not allowed![/quote]

OP here: Sorry but this is a bit of bull shit. Sorry for the language but as I said, I am liberal! It is fine to beautify oneself just to still try to remain modest in doing so. So wearing short shorts and a tube top with lots of makeup might be blatantly skirting the modesty rule. Wearing light makeup and revealing one's hair along with jeans and a shirt is not blatantly seductive or avoiding modesty. The Quran never said not to wear makeup. It said to cover thy bosom with one's cloak. From this the Muslim world population has determined that we women are not supposed to wear makeup or beautify ourselves either. Not surprisingly it is the men who have made the rules that dictate what women can and can not do or wear.[/quote]
