12. Dyeing on Yom Tov

It is forbidden to dye on Yom Tov just as on Shabbos.[1] It is thus forbidden for women to apply makeup on Yom Tov.

May one eat a food that dyes the lips red?[2] It is permitted for a woman to eat fruits and the like which leave a red pigment on her lips so long as this is not her intent.[3] If however she intends to dye her lips red then doing so is forbidden due to the dying prohibition.
