How to Say "wearing makeup" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “wearing makeup” is “pintada” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples

The door is freshly painted, don't touch it.
Me gusta esa casa pintada de blanco.
I like that house painted white.
Ella siempre va muy pintada a las fiestas.

Matching the Noun
Because this is the feminine form, you only use 'pintada' with feminine words like 'casa', 'mesa', or 'mujer'. For masculine words, use 'pintado'.
State vs. Action
When used with 'estar', it describes the state (The wall is painted). When used with 'ser', it is part of a passive action (The wall was painted by him).
The 'A' Ending
Mistake: “Saying 'el carro pintada'.”
Correction: You must match the gender. Since 'carro' is male, use 'pintado'. Use 'pintada' for things like 'la bicicleta'.
