Is it permissible to use makeup made from chemicals, and is it considered reprehensible (makruh) or forbidden (mamnu')?
The basic principle regarding the use of cosmetic tools, including makeup, is permissibility, based on the Almighty's saying: "He it is Who created for you all that is in the earth." However, their use becomes forbidden if their definite or predominant harm is proven, based on the hadith: "There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm." The determination of this harm falls within the expertise of specialists. It is preferable for a woman to avoid manufactured materials and suffice with natural ones.
