The word 化妆 is formed by combining the character 化, which means "to change" or "transform", with 妆, which means "adornment" or "makeup". This combination creates a compound where 化 conveys the action of altering, and 妆 specifies the domain of that alteration, directly resulting in the meaning "to apply makeup" or "to make up".
