Summary
Wearing lipstick during the day in Ramadan does not invalidate the fast as long as it is not swallowed into the body cavity. Merely tasting it on the lips does not break the fast, similar to tasting food without swallowing it. If the lipstick is swallowed, the fast becomes invalid. The fatwa also stresses that adorning oneself excessively (tabarruj) to display to others is strongly discouraged, while adorning oneself for one's husband is permitted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
hukum penggunaan lipstick pada siang hari Ramadhan adalah tidak membatalkan puasa selagi mana ia tidak menelan masuk ke dalam rongga.
