Lo que el islam enseña sobre Maquillarse
Según el islam, Maquillarse se considera Mubah (neutral).
El adorno es mubah y puede ser encomiable: «Alá es Bello y ama la belleza» (Muslim 91), y el Corán habla del adorno dado a los siervos (7:31-32: «¿quién ha prohibido el adorno de Alá que Él ha hecho salir?»). El límite es el contexto: pudor público (24:31: adorno mostrado apropiadamente), ningún engaño (la apariencia fabricada en negociaciones matrimoniales recibe crítica) y ninguna extravagancia (israf).

Islam's makeup verdict flows from some of the tradition's most generous texts. The bedrock: 'Allah is Beautiful and He loves beauty' (Muslim 91) — spoken, notably, about a man in fine clothes, and generalized by scholars to adornment as such; the Quran's defense of adornment against over-asceticism — 'who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He has produced for His servants?' (7:32) — is one of revelation's gentler rhetorical questions. The framework conditions: modesty (24:31's 'let them not display their adornment except what is apparent' — the verse that anchors hijab discussions; makeup's public/private analysis follows the community's interpretation, with many scholars treating the made-up face in public through the hijab framework and others through custom); deception (a few contemporary scholars criticize makeup designed to misrepresent appearance permanently — the wedding-photos question — while permitting ordinary enhancement); extravagance (israf rules apply to the beauty budget); and harm (skin-health rules govern the chemicals). The tradition's own beauty-culture is rich — kohl is Sunnah (the Prophet's generation used it for the eyes, and it carries his example's blessing), henna is a wedding institution, and Muslim beauty influencers negotiating modesty frameworks are a modern genre the scholars are actively answering.

Is wearing makeup a sin?
No — permitted in every tradition here: adornment is defended in each of their own texts.
No — permitted in every tradition here: adornment is defended in each of their own texts. The sin-candidates are the motive-cases: vanity as identity, deception, immodesty, and extravagance. The makeup itself is the tradition's smallest moral question here.

Traditions answer differently: one applies its gender-imitation rule against men's cosmetic use (kohl excepted by some, as it was worn).
