Gold will typically turn black when mixed with a different type of alloy. Bleach and chlorine can turn yellow gold black if it comes in contact with the gold.

If the ring is pure gold, the black is an indication of an allergy. If the ring is gold plated it is an indication of a reaction to the base metal employed, usually copper.

The make-up you are using either has lead in it (illegal and unlikely) or oxidizes from contact with gold due to the chemical make-up. Lipstick will react as well.
