Hub wants me to wear make up every where we go. Im afraid of Allah
The key question for makeup, and this is a general principle for anything in terms of outward experiences, whether it be makeup, whether it be the color of the clothing that you're wearing as a female, if it is going to attract undue attention in the presence of non-mahrams, then that would not be allowed because attracting undue attention, that's the key principle. And whether that be the type of clothing, whether that be, the nature of the makeup used, if it is makeup which is used to, let's say, cover up blemishes or whether it may be light makeup that's not going to attract undue attention, then that's a different case. But if it is going to attract undue attention, then yes, that should be avoided. And if it's not something that you're comfortable with, then just be honest and just say, I'm not comfortable with this level of makeup or I'm not comfortable with, the particular scenario. And there's no issue with you expressing that you're uncomfortable in that particular scenario.
