Prayer is not valid without ablution, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "No prayer is accepted without purification." is a concession that is only permissible if the individual cannot find water or is unable to use it due to illness or similar reasons. Therefore, the presence of cosmetics and adornments does not permit prayer without ablution.
