Really? Really? You can't tell the difference in eyeliner that's worn under the eyelashes versus a streak of eye black worn on the cheek like a football player?

Nobody is outlawing makeup. It's not eyeliner. It's a black streak of paint the width of a finger on the cheek under the eye.

It started with VB player who painted the school logo on the side of the player's face, a shoulder, etc. It progressed from there.

It's no different than the NFHS restricting eye black in football. It must be a single streak with no wording. No face black or war paint.

The point is someone could wear their makeup heavier and heavier to the point it approaches the same look as paint. Where exactly is the line? What if they did put a line under their eye using eyeliner....maybe 10-20 lines really close together such that it sort of looks the same as paint?

I just see it as being overly officious to outlaw unoffensive markings.
