Hi van, Welcome to the English Forums.

Both are natural, correct, and common.

In the case of the angry imperative, "Make up your [danged] mind, [dangit] !", the other version would not do.

Google shows the second one used over the first one by thirty to one. "make * mind up" - 990,000 / "make up * mind" - 28,900,000

Best wishes, - A.

Welcome to English Forums!
While both are possible, "make up my mind" is the one I hear 99% of the time. In your place, I'd stick with that one.
