Question:
Could you please point out what Islam says on the following:

Can a Muslimah trim her eyebrows, apply lipstick or do some make-up? For the specific case in my mind, the lady is in hijab and her face is seen only by family members.

Answer: 
Beautification and make up is natural for women. That is why the Prophet (sws) always considered their natural urge for embellishment. Plucking of hair from the eyebrows is also a practice of the same nature. Therefore, if done for this purpose there is no reason to consider it disallowed. (also please refer to: Women Plucking their Facial Hairs)

According to the Qur’an, women are not obliged to cover their faces even when they have worn some kind of embellishment, which includes makeup, by definition. We believe that they are not obliged to cover their faces even after putting on make-up. (For detail please refer to the section on 'Norms of Gender Interaction ' in Shehzad Saleem's, "The Social Directives of Islam: Distinctive Aspects of Ghamidi’s Interpretation")

If anything remains unclear, please right back.
