Should warrior women wear make up

Should warrior women wear make up.

Every warrior should wear makeup. What, you want your corpse to be hideous?

Only if they're Egyptian.
Or Gypsies.

They can if they want to?

I don't see why 'Should' is a factor in this case.

Yes.

The whole idea of soldiers having a dull minimalist aesthetic is 20th century cancer.

Where do you draw the line at makeup and war paint? Because the latter (and possibly the former even) can be a very effective psychological tactic against the enemy.

The only makeup a warrior maiden needs is the color of bruises

Are we assuming that they have a default male standard phalanx to compare to?

If so, then they should default to whatever they default to. War paint has a precedent. It is used for intimidation, and for de-individuation.

If we're in fantasyland, or dealing with amazonians, then it is already their decision.
