While you will find some seventh day Adventists who wear make-up, the vast majority do not. Those who do wear makeup tend to wear it in such a way as to look natural (neutral shades of lipstick etc); nothing bright or overly attention seeking. The refusal to wear makeup is an act of humility-a way of focuses on the inside and not distracting others from the message of the church through outer appearance.
Obviously this person has not attended an Adventist church in much of the world. Make-up is worn much like any other person.

Are Adventist churches supposed to be under a conference or can they be independent?
Local Seventh-day Adventist churches are part of a local district, which is part of conference/union, which is part of a division, which is part of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. The hierarchy may vary a little bit in different areas or divisions, but that is the general organization. If a church becomes "independent," it ceases to be a Seventh-day Adventist church. To put it another way, the Seventh-day Adventist denomination does not follow congregationalist polity (hence the term "denomination"), but instead it is hierarchical.

What are the rituals for the Seventh-day Adventists?
Christmas and Easter are some of the most widely celebrated within the SDA church.
Another answer:
Some Adventists try to de-emphasize the dates of these events, while attempting to focus on the events themselves: the birth and resurrection of Christ, respectively, but both events, and especially Christmas, are widely celebrated by Adventists. It is valuable to note that Adventists do not worship on Sunday as a celebration of the resurrection (considering that Sunday is never mentioned in the Scriptures as a day of worship of Christ or the disciples, and surely Jesus would have mentioned such an important point) but on Saturday, or Sabbath, the day God rested on and set apart at the end of creation week and never changed (according to the Bible). In spite of this, many Adventist churches have a sermon regarding the resurrection of Jesus on the Sabbath before Easter, and quite a few have a special Easter service on that Sunday. For both these holidays, the dates (and much of the symbolism surrounding them, especially Easter) is based on pagan holiday tradition. However, many Adventists feel that it is convenient to celebrate these events on a particular day, and the traditional days are fine, as long as they are not celebrated in a pagan way.
Also, Thanksgiving and the Fourth of July are widely celebrated among Seventh-day Adventists from the United States, just as local holidays in other countries are often celebrated by Adventists there, and other minor holidays are also often celebrated (Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc.).
Still another answer:
The importance of Christmas and Easter are not as emphasized as in other churches. Easter is not really mentioned as SDA observes and keeps the true Sabbath /Saturday.......we tend to recognize "Resurrection Day" and we do not dwell on Christmas with it's pagan and commercial overtones.....Jesus never meant us to celebrate his birthday.
The most important date for Seventh-day Adventists is October 22, 1844. That is the day that William Miller predicted the second coming would occur. Now, Seventh-day Adventists believe that is the day that Christ entered the Most Holy Place in the heavenly sanctuary.

Do Seventh-day Adventists drink alcohol?
The short answer is that no, Seventh-day Adventists do not drink alcohol.
As a church, Seventh-day Adventists believe that the human body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, which in practical terms means that we should take care of our bodies, and not put things into our bodies that will harm them. This correlates with their health message, that recommends healthy habits, good nutrition (vegetarianism is encouraged but not required), and exercise, among other things. Because alcohol impairs the body's ability to function as well as being a significant cause of death (through car accidents, cirrhosis, etc.), the Adventist Church has taken a stand against its use.
Later backsliding or rebellion notwithstanding, in order to become a baptized member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, individuals must accept the church's fundamental beliefs, which include abstinence from alcohol and other harmful substances (tobacco, etc.).
Another answerNo it's not as sin I do and I'm a Seventh-day Adventist.
When were the Seventh-day Adventists founded?
The development of the SDA church stemmed from preachers in the early 1840's preaching from the prophecies of Daniel that the end of the world was imminent. During the 1840, 1850's and 1860's Bible study and debate were common through journals. A community arose who held to common thoughts regarding the second coming of Jesus, salvation by faith alone, the continuing value of the 10 commandments, the guiding symbol of the wilderness sanctuary, and the errors of Catholics and some Protestant churches in teaching the immortal soul among other things. The loose-net movement ordained ministers, published tracks and pamphlets, and even sent missionaries.
In 1863, this movement of Bible students came together and formed what was to be known as the Seventh-day Adventists, as it seemed the best description of their common bond. Among those who were important in this formation were: James White, Joseph Bates, Ellen White, J. N. Andrews, John Loughbourough. The church was structured around a Methodist style of governance with conferences, and territory leaders and a general assembly for voting in new leaders.
Other answersThere were many. Here are a few. John Loughborough, Hiram Edson, James White, Joseph Bates, J. N. Andrews, Uriah Smith, Annie Smith, Ellen White, William Miller, Rachel Oaks, Prudence Bates, Sarah Harmon, David Hewitt, Marian Stowell, Charles Andrews, Mary Andrews, and F. E. Belden.Technically, one could say that William Miller was who started the movement that led toward Adventism, but Sister Ellen G. White helped in the decision of the name "Seventh-day Adventist." For more information, see the link below.
There wasn't a founder of the Seventh-day Aventist Church. The church emerged from the Millerite movement. Most noted early leaders of the denomination were Joseph Bates, James and Ellen White, Hiram Edson, and J.N. Andrews.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church is the largest of several Adventist groups which arose from the Millerite movement of the 1840s in upstate New York, a phase of the Second Great Awakening. Miller predicted on the basis of Daniel 8:14-16 and the "day-year principle" that Jesus Christ would return to Earth on October 22, 1844. When this did not happen, most of his followers disbanded and returned to their original churches.
Some Millerites came to believe that Miller's calculations were correct, but that his interpretation of Daniel 8:14 was flawed as he assumed it was the 'earth that was to be cleansed' or Christ would come to cleanse the world. These Adventists arrived at the conviction that Daniel 8:14 foretold Christ's entrance into the Most Holy Place of the heavenly sanctuary rather than his second coming. Over the next decade this understanding developed into the doctrine of the investigative judgment: an eschatological process commencing in 1844 in which Christians will be judged to verify their eligibility for salvation and God's justice will be confirmed before the universe. The Adventists continued to believe that Christ's second coming would be imminent, although they refrained from setting further dates for the event.
For about 20 years, the Adventist movement consisted of a small loosely knit group of people who came from many churches whose primary means of connection and interaction was through James White's periodical, The Advent Review and Sabbath Herald.They embraced the doctrines of the Sabbath, the heavenly sanctuary interpretation of Daniel 8:14, conditional immortality and the expectation of Christ's premillennial return. Among its most prominent figures were Joseph Bates, James White, and Ellen G. White. Ellen White came to occupy a particularly central role; her many visions and spiritual leadership convinced her fellow Adventists that she possessed the gift of prophecy.
The church was formally established in Battle Creek, Michigan, on May 21, 1863, with a membership of 3,500. The denominational headquarters were later moved from Battle Creek to Takoma Park, Maryland, where they remained until 1989. The General Conference headquarters then moved to its current location in Silver Spring, Maryland.
Seventh-day Adventists arose within an apocalyptic movement that stressed the nearness of the Second Advent. Their Christian heritage emphasized the down-to-earth implications of the ministry of the Saviour.
Joseph Bates, J. N. Andrews, and Ellen White are among the founders. William Miller was a predecessor (though he never joined the church), who helped start the Millerite Movement from which the Seventh-day Adventist Church was born.
