wearing hijab

Asalaamu aleikum everyone!

I wonder if some muslimas, particularly when they start wearing hijab full-time, compensate for an inability to display hair, jewellry, fashion, etc. by "decorating their faces? In other words, if all anyone can see of you anymore is your face, then that becomes your display. And if you're not so confident about your face anyway, then you might feel oddly exposed- if you see what I mean.
Fashion, hairstyles, accessories, etc. do a lot to distract from things like bad skin, a big nose, not-so-regular features, but when you wear hijab suddenly all the focus is on your supposedly imperfect face! Maybe the make-up is an attempt to soothe this anxiety?
Of course, some sisters do more than decorate their faces- using hijab as a fashion accessory in itself, wearing jewllery outside their abayas,etc. -making themselves into fashion-forward sparkly rainbows Well, you know what I mean. They insist that just because you're a muslima doesn't mean you have to be drab and dress in a shapeless sack. I wonder what the rest of you think of that...?

I was replying to Hidden_Pearl's post.

as salam alaikum,

Comments like this have the potential to divide the ummah. Certainly women of all backgrounds make the mistake of wearing hijab and makeup, or hijab and tight clothing, or other things with hijab that undermine the very point of wearing hijab. There's no reason to blame just white women for this.

I have seen desis, black women, Arabs, Asians, and even a Bosnian woman break this rule -- at the masjid no less! So it's not just a white problem.

That being said, if I see a revert who makes this mistake I remember my own progression in hijab. At first I just wore long sleeves and pants with hijab, because I was new to Islam and I didn't know any better. I also wore eyeliner. Over time, some supportive sisters gently corrected me and showed me the correct ways (alhamdulillah).

So please, if you see a white sister -- or any sister -- wearing her hijab incorrectly, don't make a face at her or not talk to her. Get to know her. Ask her about her deen. Be supportive. You don't know what kind of fitnahs she's going through. Help her through them. Hold her hand and show her the right ways. And if she doesn't make it to your standard of hijab but she improves, say alhamdulillah and keep trying.

Dont get me wrong i wear make up, but i have thought what i will do wen i start wearing hijab. Im not saying this for sympathy at all but the reason i wear make up is because i am not naturally pretty at all in fact as a child somebody called me the ugliest girl in the world, s you can get an idea of how unpretty i am. So because of this the reason i wear make up is not so much to attract attention it is so that i look normal and not stand out for my flaws, ... but if i was blessedwith natural beauty i would love to go bare faced but i just dnt see that as an option
