虽然动词词组make up或者 make oneself up也有“化妆”之意，但是却不那么常用。make up 一般这么用：

make up (to sb) for sth

(向某人)弥补

【解释】

to take the place of something lost or damaged or to compensate for something bad with something good

【例句】

You need to do something to make up for your rudeness.

你得做点什么来弥补你的无礼。

make up sth

编造；

补上(缺的课/工作/考试等等)；

构成；和好

【例句】

I asked where he had been all day, but he just made up a story.

我那时问他一整天跑哪儿去了，但他竟然给我编了个故事。

I need to make up a test that I missed last week, or I will not be able to graduate.

我需要补考上周错过的一门考试，否则我将无法毕业。

Why don't you two kiss and make up?

你们俩为什么不和好呢？

(kiss and make up是一个习语，表示“和好”，不一定真的要亲一口)
