Mrst53,
Look back in past posts and for a thread that states the wearing of the wedding ring and on there will be all the quotes of Bible brought on by me and others for and against and then you will see great lengths of why the SDA went to the new "justifications" why they should wear it but the foundational doctrine of SDA is not the wearing of any gold, jewelry, and if you want look to the story when they built the golden calf from all their gold while Moses was in the mountain getting the 10 commandments you will see from that day what God commanded. I don't look for any other way to disregard that while others will come out and deny this has any merit.
As far as make up goes, I believe you can use it without anyone knowing you use it. You just cover your flaws and brown spots the best you can. But actually I only did that once a week to look my best at church but only and sometimes when I did not feel good and take care naturally the rest of week, but your skin stays very nice in old age if you don't do the coffee, smoke or had a lot of medication. I really like the natural, clean, polished look that skin gets from healty living. Soft water is also the best for skin.and a little olive oil.
