In my style of feminism, the issue of make up is waaaaaayyy down near the bottom of my list of priorities.
True, that. I'm way, way more concerned about acid being thrown on a woman's face than make-up.

Au contraire. You must have a beard to be a real man.
**** walk is a part of the third wave feminism which does answer the OP but if you want makeup there is alwaysI didnt find a reference to makeup in it. But I could be blind, will take a closer look a little later.
I think women should do what makes them happy, and I have heard that wearing makeup makes them feel pretty or gives them confidence.
The thing is, should you need something to be confident? What does this actually mean to be dependant on a product?
Are lipstick Feminists really true Feminists?
A true feminist surely does whatever she wants. Unfortunately we live in a society where women are practically forced to wear make-up into work, as well as short skirts and high heels, probably all to impress the presumably male boss, who'll no doubt enjoy it.
Out of interest, what do you think of female workplace discrimination against other females? It seems to happen mostly to beautiful younger girls by older less beautiful women, perhaps putting on less make-up for that job interview with the woman might do the job!

As a Feminist, I raised my daughter not to be dependant on a man for protection, income, or any other thing that might lead them into thinking they must be with someone to be complete,
She was a black belt in high school and never allowed a man to buy her dinner. She still goes dutch when she dates.
My wife has her own money and career and while she cannot kick my butt, she is an excellent marksman.
My daughter wore alot of makeup when she was young, but not so much now. My wife goes through a ritual every morning and I believe she is conditioned to think this is necessesary.
I wear make up.I wear perfume.I wear dresses.I wear high heals.I die my hair now to combat the "grays" LOL>>>I wear jewelry ...I shave..(where ladies traditionally shave)
I also go barefoot in jean shorts and a t-shirt and no bra and no make up and no jewelry and no perfume in "need" of a shave and chase toads and catch lizards in the yard and climb on the roof with my cat and dig in the mud.

So basically you dress how you want to dress. :yes:
I am understanding that most posters including the OP mean that a feminist is "someone who acts with self-respect w.r.t issues that women face, especially one such as oppression from the opposite sex".
I do not see any reason why wearing make-up has anything to do with the amount of self-respect one is allowed. It (wearing makeup) is similar to i)wanting to establish oneself as educated, polished, well-groomed, ii) wanting to show that one is capable of doing the best in most situations one is capable of handling iii) wanting to show that one is the best. Wearing makeup is one thing a woman wants to reveal herself as beautiful, much akin to wanting to reveal oneself as capable, educated and so forth.
Today's world is competitive and yet another reason why women may wear makeup may be to show they are equally beautiful among other female competitors (such as in a beauty pageant).
And when you all do what you want to and enjoy doing it, that is great. My only point is when you don't really want to do something but feel it is expected, or you think you have to do something to feel like "a real woman" I take issue.
