my understanding is that there are two approaches to make-up and both have backings by mainstream frumkeit (at least in Eretz Yisrael, among charedim).

1) no make-up in public at all, even if possible, not to wear at one’s own chasunah.

2) wearing make-up is a mitzvah; it’s a mitzvah to look nice and attractive in a kavodick way – can look temimsdik with the right amount and right kind of make-up.

there are also some people who say yes to make-up, but no to eyeliner, quoting a passuk, i think in a navi.

actually both 1 and 2 back themselves up with quotes from pesukkim, but i don’t remember what they are. 🙂
