If we put eyeliner and do wudu will the wudu be valid. How about wearing lipstick only to please your husband?
Question
If we are unmarried and we wear makeup like lipstick, lipgloss, eyeliner etc, and we observe purdah and we don't show it to ghair mehram is it permissible?
Answer
1. Wudhu performed after putting on the eyeliner will be valid.
2. It is permissible for a female to beautify herself for her husband only with lipstick, lip gloss, etc. on condition the contents of the make-up are not impure.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
