make-ups

Rescheduled exam opportunities

Make-ups are cosmetics—lipstick, foundation, mascara, and the like: She keeps her make-ups in a travel bag.

The term also refers to instances of reconciliation after conflict: Their relationship was a cycle of fights and make-ups.

In publishing or printing, make-ups are the arrangements of text and images on a page.

The hyphenated plural is less common than the solid form makeups.
