Is it permissible for a woman to apply makeup and adornments while fasting?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Is it permissible for a woman to apply makeup and adornments while fasting?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, provided that nothing enters her throat. If she puts something on her lips, she must be careful that nothing enters her throat. However, if nothing enters her throat, there is nothing wrong with her using whatever cosmetics she wishes while fasting. Nevertheless, it is obligatory for her to be mindful of avoiding fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and not to adorn herself with these things or display them to men who are not her mahram (a relative one may not marry), as this involves fitnah. Yes.
