    In the subjunctive, vos takes the same form as tú in careful speech. The imperfect subjunctive also has an -se form (maquillase), more common in writing.

    túput makeup on!
    vosput makeup on!
    ustedput makeup on!
    nosotroslet's put makeup on!
    vosotrosput makeup on!

    The tú form is the él form of the present: maquilla. Usted, nosotros and ustedes come from the present subjunctive (maquille, maquillemos, maquillen).

    imperativo negativo · don't speak!

    túdon't put makeup on!

    usteddon't put makeup on!
    nosotroslet's not put makeup on!
    vosotrosdon't put makeup on!

    Built from the present subjunctive: no + maquilles, maquille…

    Always the verb haber + the past participle maquillado, which never changes.

    Remember

    Maquillarse in the present: me maquillo, te maquillas, se maquilla, nos maquillamos, se maquillan; with vos, te maquillás. Preterite: me maquillé, te maquillaste, se maquilló.

    Watch out

    Doing your own makeup is maquillarse: me maquillo en el auto. Without se, you're doing someone else's: maquilló a la novia. And “to make up” after a fight has nothing to do with it: that's reconciliarse or hacer las paces.

    Examples with maquillar

    Casi nunca me maquillo para ir a trabajar.

    Mi prima maquilló a la novia.

    My cousin did the bride's makeup.

    Colombia

    ¿Te maquillaste sola?

    Did you do your makeup yourself?

    Argentina
