Can you wear eyeshadow in Iran?

Question

I'm going in August with my dad, he's lived there his whole life, but he isn't sure. I always wear make-up, can you wear silver/black eyeshadow in Iran? I've seen videos of women being shot in Tehran because they weren't sticking to the dress code and now I'm scared.

Answer 1

of course

Answer 2

Why chance it until you get there and learn the local custom?  It might insult someone's religion with dire results.

Answer 3

When in doubt, stay away from makeup.  Make sure EVERYTHING is covered, except your face.  I saw on The Real World (several years ago) this girl was stoned by the men because she wore shorts.  Be very careful.

Answer 4

umm i think it depends on which part you go in. My friend whose persian said that there are some areas with like night clubs and stuff where people are very modernized, and others were people are very covered and religious. You should ask your dad which area you're going in and if he remembers n e one wearing makeup. Or just call up your family in the area you're going in if you're visiting and ask them.
