Generally speaking, no you can’t.
Personal grooming products (like makeup, skincare and hair care) are generally private expenses. This is even if your employer expects you to maintain a certain appearance (unfortunately).
There are only a few very specific exceptions where grooming can be claimed:
Performing Arts: Actors, models, or entertainers can sometimes claim the cost of specialised theatrical makeup or wigs used specifically for a role.
Industry Specifics: Workers in the adult industry, or specialised jobs like flight attendants and cosmetic artists, may have unique allowances or circumstances, but everyday grooming is still strictly personal.
