Makeup for a Shidduch Meeting
Question
Is it permissible for a girl going on a date to wear makeup, or is there an issue of deception, which is forbidden because it misleads?
Answer
Shalom Rav
It is permitted because it is customary for women to do so; therefore, it is not considered deception.

And one does not soak the meat, etc. This is only in a place where it is not customary, but if it is the custom of butchers to soak it so that it appears white, it is permitted, as it is not deception, since everyone knows that butchers do so, as stated in the Gemara (Chullin 113a).
