Is it permissible for a woman to leave her house with the adornment on her face?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If you would permit me, may I ask this question?

The Shaykh : Please.

The questioner : Shaykh, regarding a woman's perfume, what is the ruling on that which its color is apparent but its scent is hidden?
Abu Layla : Before eating or after eating!

The questioner : Is it permissible for her to go out with a perfume that has no scent?

The Shaykh : On her face?

The questioner : Yes, on her face.

The Shaykh : It is not permissible.

The questioner : The evidence for that is:
And let them go out disheveled وليخرجن تفلات
?

The Shaykh : Yes, and in addition:
not expose their adornment ولا يبدين زينتهن
[An-Nur 24:31]
This is the original text of the Qur'an, and the hadith clarifies it.

The questioner : A question about the hadith of the woman whose husband was wealthy and died, ... and before the waiting period had passed, her son ... met her, and she had applied kohl and henna and prepared herself. What is meant by "prepared herself"?

The Shaykh : She prepared herself for the proposal. The explanation of that came in some narrations:
She had applied kohl اكتحلت
This is what is intended.
