Once you make a mistake, you should make up as soon as possible.
Once you make a mistake, you should make it up as soon as possible.
如果沒
it
就變成，“如果你犯了錯，就趕快化妝吧”。
修改后意思上無誤，但還是不符合英文的使用習慣。
Mistake
是不可以
make up
的。
如果實在想表達該意思，有兩個建議：
Once you make a mistake, you should make amends as soon as possible.
Once you make a mistake, you should correct it as soon as possible.
(
雖然已經說了
correct
也不是很好，但比‘化妝’容易讓人不產生歧義
)
