Are Ladies allowed to do Make-up?

DS
Dr. Shehzad Saleem
October 2001 · 1 min read

Is it religiously correct to do make-up and wear Bindyah, which is a kind of an ornamental mark worn between the two eye brows.

In principle, Islam has not forbidden women to satisfy their natural desire of beautifying themselves. It is the Almighty Himself who has placed this urge in them. At the same time, Islam is the religion of inner purification. It wants a person to always remain mindful of this. Therefore, make-up should neither exceed the limits nor become a means of showing off. In the light of this principle, you can judge for yourself about adorning one’s self with Bindiyah.
