By Radioinfo.org: makeup (such as eye shadow and eyeliner) or other cosmetic that contains metal should be avoided. Good luck to your MRI.

As long as iron particles are not contained within your cosmetics, there would be no issue or risk from standard MRIs.

Random flashes of burning and tingling mainly in head but can happen anywhere, chronic dizziness, and flashes of lightning in eyes. Doctors think migraines, and Brain/Orbits MRI/V came back normal. Migraine meds dont help. Could this be FND as well?
