Question
Assalamualaikum..can a woman wear hijab and still apply lipstick?not make up only mild lipstick.
Islamic Ruling & Answer
VerifiedWalekumussalam,
If a woman goes outside where non-mahram men can see her, even mild lipstick that beautifies the lips should be avoided, because it is considered adornment (zeenah).

However, wearing lipstick at home for the husband or among women is permissible.
