Is wudu made with makeup and the prayer performed with that wudu valid?

Dear Brother / Sister,

It is necessary to pay attention to two points whether prayers can be performed after wearing makeup:

The first point is that the substance that is used in makeup and cosmetics must not contain any dirty and harmful matter; and the makeup must allow water to penetrate under it. If the makeup contains some dirty matter and does not water to penetrate under it, prayers cannot be performed with it; it has to be removed at once.  

The first point is that if a woman wears makeup, she must not show it to anybody except her husband and her mahram men about whom she is sure (for instance, her son, father, brother, etc.). If she appears like that in the presence of non-mahram men and goes out like that, she leads men to sins.

Nail polish is related to wudu before prayer. As it is known, water must touch the outer parts of wudu organs for wudu to be valid. If a substance spread on wudu organs prevents water from touching the body, that wudu is not valid. 

When nail polish is spread on the nail, it prevents water from penetrating under it. For instance, it is clearly stated in our fiqh books that wax prevents wudu. Wudu is not valid if wax is not removed before wudu; similarly, wudu is not valid if nail polish is not removed before wudu.
