Removing makeup before performing 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, is it obligatory for a woman to remove the makeup she applied before performing 'Umrah?

Answer:
No, as long as she is veiled and covering her face, she must remove the dyes and types of adornment that she puts on her face, but she must veil herself and cover this from the men. Yes, unless the makeup, as you call it, contains perfume; if it contains perfume, she washes off the perfume. But if it does not contain perfume, then no. Yes.
