Is makeup allowed in Islam?

It can be tricky for Muslim women to answer if they would be allowed to wear makeup unless they have adequate knowledge about their religion. Women are allowed to wear cosmetics provided that the cosmetics are still considered to be halal or ‘lawful.’ There was a time when finding the right makeup was complicated.

A lot of makeup products are tested on animals and this is considered to be haram in Islam. Over the past few years, more and more makeup lines are being introduced to Muslim women and they are safe to use. Women always have the right to wear makeup if they want to. It can be good for them.
