My therapist is a character and I know she isn't best therapist in the world. But this was an innocent gesture of kindness.
I know everyone has an opinion about what happens in other people's therapies. I just wish people would actually try to find out more information before making proclamations about how outrageous or inappropriate something is.
For what's worth, I don't see why it would be so wrong to give a therapist a make-over if they didn't have a problem with it and it served some greater purpose. So maybe I'm just clueless about a lot of things.

If you want people to have more info before posting an opinion, maybe you could offer more. This was your OP: (underlining mine)
"She always says that I'm beautiful, but I think
my plainjane ways drive her up the wall. So one day
she whipped out her foundation and rogue and
went to work on me.
My therapist is funny, because as progressive as she is politically and socially, she has some crazy "old school" ideas. Like,
she once told me that people probably think I'm a lesbian since I don't wear make-up and I like gardening!"
The underlined words created the impression that I responded to. I see a huge difference in emphasis between the two versions. I didn't tell you how you should feel, nor what you should do. In fact, I clarified just the opposite.
