Makeup

A group of high school girls in my town are going to go to school one day without wearing makeup.  I did not even know they wore makeup to school.  I am out of the loop.  The reasons for makeup have to do with fear and self-esteem.  A girl's achilles heel is her looks, appearance.  You can do great damage to someone here.  Girls think that the natural way they look, simply isn't good enough.  Natural will be rejected or made fun of.  There is apparently some ideal or some perfect that no one has by nature.  God made us good, but not good enough for one another, is the thinking.  Religion does this too.  Instiutional religion does not want us to know its imperfections.  Its trump card over against other religions is its being "more" perfect than anyone else.  This is called "cover up."  Would that religion had the courage of these local high school girls.
