Surface Beauty | Bible Bite

Did you ever walk into a store and the first section you encountered was the Cosmetics Department? Often, the first clue is the overpowering, knock-you-out fragrances. Behind the counter are male and female cosmeticians wearing an exaggerated mask of makeup—sometimes in excessive quantities. The whole thrust of their sales strategy is surface beauty: rings on most fingers and toes, glittering bracelets, neck chains, ear danglers and other body modifications, puckered painted lips, thick pasty eyelashes, elaborate hairstyles, and frighteningly long, extended coloured fingernails.

Perhaps such a characterization of a Cosmetics Department has been slightly exaggerated. But you get the point. Their primary focus is external surface beauty.
