Will the wearing of lipstick break the fast?

Question

Will the wearing of lipstick or any other type of make up break the fast. Please specify which types of make up

Answer

Lipstick and make up do not break the fast. However, you should consider two issues:
a) Many of these products contain Haraam and impure ingredients. In such a case, it will not be permissible to use such a make up.
b) Many of such products prevent water from reaching the skin. In such a case the Wudhu or Ghusl performed with such make up on will not be valid.

Nevertheless, the fast is not broken.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
