Q: Is face painting permissible? If not, please advise as to why it is not permissible.
A: The face is a ni'mat (bounty) of Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى). Since painting the face is disfiguring this ni'mat, it is impermissible in Shari'ah. Apart from this, this action resembles the ways of the kuffaar.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
