Make (something) up = to lie, to create a story that isn't real or true.
e.g.
A: Yesterday, I met David Beckham and he told me I was more handsome than he is.
B: Really? Did he really say that or are you making it up?
A: Yeah, just kidding. I made it up.
makeup = beauty products that people put on their faces.
Makeup is not a verb, it is a noun. You can not say "I am makeup" "I will makeup"
e.g.
A: I need to do my makeup before I go to work.
B: You don't need to wear makeup, you're beautiful already!
make up with (somebody) = when you make friends with somebody again after you have an argument or fight.
e.g.
A: I had a big arguement with my brother last week. But we made up with eachother yesterday.
B: What did you fall out about? (fall out = argue / fight)
A: He said he couldn't pay back the money he owes me.
Make (something) up to (somebody) = do something good/nice to say sorry for something bad you did in the past.
e.g.
A: I forgot my friend's birthday so I took her to a posh restaurant to make it up to her. (posh = hi-so)
B: Was she okay after that?
A: Kind of, I also bought her a new bag and then she wasn't mad at me anymore.
Make out / Make out with = kissing another person
A: I made out with Paul last week, I hope my boyfriend doesn't find out! (find out = learn / know)
B: Why did you do that?
A: He's just so handsome.
