Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
Technically, wearing makeup alters the appearance, though not PERMANENTLY. Your relationship with Guru is yours. If you remember that, then you will know in your heart if make-up is OK or not. This is a personal issue and while people will say I'm wrong to tell you to decide for yourself, you really MUST decide for yourself. People who observe the rehit strictly will say makeup is a no-no.
I might add that make up is still a kind of coverup. Why do you need makeup to look radiant, when daily Naam Simran and truthful living can give you the same thing? Just something to think about.
Guru rakha,
