Summary
Using cosmetics containing gold powder is originally permissible. However, the ruling leans toward discouraging the production of gold powder for cosmetics, since cosmetics are consumed and are not lasting items that can be exchanged or resold. If the product blocks water during ablution or the obligatory bath, it must be washed off thoroughly beforehand. Wearing it to adorn oneself for non-mahram men is forbidden, while wearing it for one's husband is not a problem.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sekalipun begitu, hukum memakai alat solek yang berserbuk emas adalah harus, pada asalnya.
