Makeup on Yom Tov

Question

I would like to know if there is any kind of leniency for applying makeup on Yom Tov. Pesach will come out on a Wednesday night so there will be three days that I can’t apply makeup. What this means for me is that I literally cannot come in contact with people for three days. This is causing much Agmat Nefesh. Please help

Answer

Shalom!

Thank you for your question.

Our rabbi, Rav Amram Fried, has ruled that it is forbidden to apply makeup on Shabbat and Yom Tov.

You can apply make-up before the holiday including the "24-48 hr" makeup.
