			Can women apply a certain level of makeup in front of their suitor or when they go out?
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:13
			See, this is another interesting one. Women, specifically when it comes to makeup,
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:43
			there's a natural affinity there, there's a desire actually within humans to all look good. But for
the women, there's a very specific one, a specific feeling a desire to look beautiful, and
especially to accentuate the irony, that beauty, whether it's and listen, I am not an expert in any
single way, even though I have worked very close to a makeup department in my in the good hotels,
but obviously blushes and this and that, and a bit of foundation a bit of cover up and year or
whatever, all this kind of stuff.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:01:18
			And, you know, it's a massive sliding scale, there's that which is neutral and and is that way, you
know, you know, it makes a person just look normal presentable. And then I think and I know this is
all subjective, but there are certain stands that we can all agree on the way it starts to get out
of control, like wearing red lipstick, red lipstick is a, I'm sorry, and I know this is going to
become one of those clips, that's going to then come back and haunt me forever. But that's sending
out a whole different message, as opposed to something which is more neutral, more in line with the
actual color and shade of your lips and accentuating it as opposed to saying, Look at me, and I am
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:25
			to be, you know, the object of desire as I walked down the street, etc, etc. And so there's got to
be this kind of level of
		
00:01:26 --> 00:02:03
			honor of oneself, sense of gravitas, not making yourself Danny into this kind of, you know, advert
of traffic lights for people, and not slapping it on and really looking strange and weird. But I
believe it is permissible, it's in the nature of women to be able to be presentable. And I believe
that that is not just the issue of low self esteem. I don't believe that I think it's very unfair to
refer to people like that the progress of lies and them indicated the annual both both Yanni in the
observance of men and women that were in different states have different times whether in extreme
acts of a bad or whatever, that it looked a bit rough, okay, to use a different word. And so taking
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:41
			care of yourself is something understood and for the woman that's understood in a different way to
to men, we have a long tradition in the cinema, I would like to have using an eyeliner and so on.
And so what I want to say is that a woman is it is permissible for her to use a very simple basic
form of makeup that allows her to feel confident and presentable. And that obviously I am very aware
of how dangerous these words are confident and presentable is indicating that she should not feel
confident if she doesn't wear makeup. No, no, I'm not playing into that game at all. But I'm very,
very aware of the nature of women and the halaal and the intrinsic fitrah that women have been
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:56
			created upon to want to look at so you've got to be careful to not go too much to attract too much
attention but to be normative and to be not someone who is attracting attention for the other way
that you're very Yanni Myskina and very Yanni rough on whatever I think that you understand what I'm
trying to get to another knows best
