Hi younglady! Understood.
But just thought I’d let you know (since I am no longer a young lady, and have most likely been asking rabbis questions for years and years more than you) rabbis are SO NOT clueless! About anything. You wouldn’t believe the things they know all about, makeup included. And when they’re not sure what you’re asking about they’ll be so interested to ask you all the right questions just so they can help you figure out what to do in a particular circumstance. The one time I stumped a Rabbi (!!!) with a question about an obscure, old-fashioned kitchen appliance that came with my very first apartment, he kindly directed me to a certain Rabbi (made sure I got all the contact info) who knew exactly what to do.
Mazel Tov to all on the upcoming Simcha!
