Which parts of the Book of Enoch are true?

Obviously, the book of Enoch is not considered scripture by most Christian traditions. However, there are obviously some true things in the book considering that Jude and 1 Peter (to my knowledge) quote it. The question is, which parts are true and which parts aren’t? For example, the book says that makeup comes from a fallen angel Azael who taught mankind how to make cosmetics. The text says that makeup is wrong essentially.
