Ruling on a woman removing makeup while performing wudu'

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does makeup prevent water from reaching the skin during wudu', meaning: is it obligatory to remove this makeup every time one performs wudu'?

Answer:
If the makeup has a substance that prevents water, it must be removed. If it has no substance and is merely a dye that does not form a layer, there is no obligation to remove it.
However, if it has a substance that creates a barrier, meaning it prevents water, then it is obligatory to remove it from the face, and likewise from the arms if there is something like dough on them, or from the face, or from the legs. As for something that is not a substance, but a dye with no body or layer, there is no obligation to remove it. Yes.
