Wearing contact lenses for cosmetic purposes has been previously deemed permissible under certain conditions. As for wearing makeup when meeting a suitor, jurists have agreed on the permissibility of a woman adorning herself for suitors. It is narrated in Muslim that Subai'ah al-Aslamiyyah beautified herself for suitors after her postnatal period. Nevertheless, it is preferable to avoid it so that the suitor sees the woman as she naturally is.
