Is it OK for women to wear makeup?
Sorry for the ignorant question, but I need to know before I move to Qatar if wearing makeup is frowned on or not. I've heard nothing one way or the other, but I thought it might be considered immodest for the same reasons as displaying the body or hair (like it is for traditional nuns). I only wear a little makeup, but I don't want to look like a "painted lady" to anyone.

Ferrin ...I believe that no matter how hard you try, you won't ever be able to carry off as much makeup as girls here do. So don't worry, nobody will think you look painted :^) In fact, when I arrived here, I felt I wasn't wearing enough makeup!!
butterfly said
way too much eye liner and ...way too much eye liner and foundation. Can´t understand why, arab women are gorgeous and have wonderful skin.
Ferrin said
Thanks for the info! ...All I wear is mascara, a little foundation, and subtle lipstick (no eyeliner or blush). I'm glad to hear that I won't have to give up my makeup. I had wrongly assumed that since the Muslim women cover their hair and bodies to shield their womanly beauty from all men but their husbands, then they would also not decorate their faces in public. As you can see, I'm very ignorant about the Qatari culture. I'm very grateful to have the nice people on this board as a source.
Thank you!

Now thats a idea ...Just imagine women without makeup.... HOOOO ...some of them will be unrecognizable .... some of them will be scary....Some will be creepy…..
Now a days they have days of the year assigned for just about everything… how about no makeup day …… Just a suggestion ladies, no offence meant.
Aisha said
Hahaha.. Of course you can ...Hahaha..
Of course you can put on your make up..
I go with the natural colors and the simple make up ( the every day make up)..OMG what's a world without make up lol..
About the women who put heavy make up although they cover their hair and body..welll that's wrong of course because they attract men..you know :-)
dohagirl said
I've found no matter how ...I've found no matter how hard I try I will never surpass Qatari women for fashion sense. I don't find the women here stare at me because I'm not dressed modestly enough, I find they stare at me because I'm not dressed fashionably enough!
The teenage girls I used to teach teased me because the scarf I wore to the school (It was a strict Islamic school) didn't match the rest of my outfit. They also insisted that I didn't wear enough makeup or perfume.

Local women wear too much ...Local women wear too much makeup, most of them look over the top caked with powder; for some reason they like thin painted brows.
In general, I find the locals don't really care what you look like and what you wear.
glecs said
i do wear make up on. ...i do wear make up on. nothing to worry about it.
just when you thought your make up is heavy, wait till you see the local ladies remove their veil and you'll realize how light yours is.

MAKEUP ...have u seen what some qararie ladies wear,need a trowel to get it off,looks silly
Harry99 said
Ferrin.. ...Welcome to Qatar..
Please feel free to wear make up..
Hope that answers your question..
shenila said
This is the Heigh.. ...This is so far the most preposterous question I have ever come across on QL..I can't imagine a Qatari woman sans makeup or for that matter any arab woman. These women use more makeup than anyone else...
You can wear as much make up as you want, dress anyway you like and do whatever you fancy.. Its a free country..

Thank you Spicemom... ...I always use just enough makeup to enhance my features..

I just got the Explorer ...I just got the Explorer Qatar residents guide and was so impressed by the gamorous women on the phone advert - their make-up was impeccable! I think the eyeliner look is great, but am not an expert.

What You Will Need ...You need: white and black paint; a black and a red pencil; vampire teeth; false nails and their self adhesive; hair gel or mousse.
1 - Smooth your hair back from your face with the gel or mousse. With your fingers or the sponge, paint your whole face white to give a deathly appearance.
2 - With the black pencil, draw around your whole face, making a small triangle at the top of your forehead.
3 - Mix the black and white paint to make grey. With the brush and the grey paint, make dark shadows under your eyes.
4 - Still using the grey, paint shadows either side of our nose and on your cheeks to make you look uglier.
5 - With the red pencil, shadow under your eyes. Now draw over your lips so it looks as if you have been drinking the blood of your victims. For a cruel look blacken your eyebrows, and make them a triangular shape.
6 - Draw a red blob at the corner of your mouth to look like blood.
7 - Put in your false teeth and stick on false nails. These glow in the dark. Wrap yourself in a long black cloak - then see who you can scare!
