It would be difficult but there are some poisons that can be absorbed through the skin but that makes them difficult to handle long enough to put in someone else’s make up. A deadly organism would be even more difficult because an organism would not live very long in the make up to cause harm. Practically, although theoretically possible, I don’t think this is much of a viable threat. Good luck!
