Servant of Imam Mahdi as asked 2 years ago

Salam,
I wanted to ask is it okay if a Woman does make up just to hide her dark circles? By makeup i mean a cream to hide her dark cricles not mascara and other stuff. I know some women do make up to look pretty and to impress others but what if its only for yourself just to hide your dark circles or pimples?

As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

We hope this answer reaches you in good health and Islamic spirit.

Based on your specific question and information provided.

This is a subjective and intention based issue where the spirit / essence of the general ruling needs to be your guide. If you the Mukallaf ( the legally responsible person for decision / action ) consider it to be Makeup.

From the Fiqh / Jurisprudence perspective.

Makeup applied in any quantity is prohibited and it must be covered from the sight of non-Mahram.

اَللّٰهُ أَعْلَم‎
(and Allah(awj) Knows best)
