Applying Makeup on the Face

Question
Is applying makeup on the face forbidden? And is it true what is said: that it is permissible for a woman to show her face and hands, so it is permissible to adorn the face and hands?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Wearing makeup is a form of adornment, and it is forbidden for a woman to display adornment to non-mahram men, whether on her face, hands, or elsewhere. And God knows best.
