Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

In the context of applying makeup, put on is the most appropriate and commonly used phrasal verb. When talking about makeup, we use "put on" to indicate the action of applying cosmetics to the face.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "My sister said that sometimes it took her an hour to put on her make-up."
