:salam2: Plz will someone answer this for me. Is makeup permissible for women, are they allowed to apply makeup, when going out, or are we only allowed to wear makeup in front of our husbands, and other mahrams? And, is it permissible for women to tweeze their eyebrows, and remove other body hair (arms, legs)?

I hope this helps you sister..
It should be noted that it is not permissible for a woman to wear makeup in front of non-mahram men, because she is commanded to cover her face in front of them and because wearing makeup is an adornment that leads to fitnah. If she does that and then prays, she will have the reward for her prayer but she will have the burden of sin for tabarruj (wanton display).
It says in Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (17/129): There is no reason why a woman should not adorn herself by wearing makeup on her face, or kohl, or doing her hair in a manner that does not make her resemble kaafir women, but it is also essential that she cover her face in front of men who are not her mahrams. End quote.
It also says (17/128): Using kohl is allowed in Islam, but it is not permissible for a woman to show any of her adornment, whether kohl or anything else, to anyone other than her husband or mahrams, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“…and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands…”
[al-Noor 24:31]
Question:
What is the ruling concerning the removal of women's body hair? If it is permitted, who is permitted to do that for her?
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
It is permitted for a woman to remove all her body hair, except for her eyebrows and the hair on her head, which she is not permitted to shave or remove by other methods. She may remove other hair herself, or her husband or other mahram may remove it within the limits of what he is permitted to see, or another woman may do this, within the limits of what she is permitted to see.
