Question

Are women permitted to use make-up such as foundation, eye-liners and lipstick?

Answer

In principle, women are permitted to utilize all forms of make-up with the proviso that it is used in the house for her husband, and the products are free of any Haraam or impure ingredients. It is not permissible for them to utilize make-up without the consent of their husbands and outside of the house.

Is wearing make-up permissible?

“If the surmah is on the skin of the face, then it should be washed off when making wudu. If it is not washed off and wudu is made, then if it does not prevent the water from reaching the face, then the wudu will be valid.”
