Terms You'll Hear
A quick makeup glossary
- Undertone
- The warm, cool or neutral hue under your skin. Two people with the same skin tone can need different foundation because of it.
- Skin tone
- How light or deep your skin is. It sets the depth of every shade you wear.
- Complexion
- The natural color and texture of your facial skin, which guides formula as much as shade.
- Foundation oxidizing
- When foundation darkens after it dries. A shade that matched in the store can look orange by lunch.
- Jawline line
- A visible edge where foundation stops matching your neck. The clearest sign of the wrong shade.
- Finish
- How a product reflects light: matte controls shine, satin sits in between, dewy reads as glow.
- Skin prep
- Cleansing, hydrating and priming skin before makeup, so foundation sits smoothly instead of clinging to dry patches.
- Lip prep
- Hydrating and smoothing lips before color. Dry or flaky lips make even the best lipstick look uneven.
- Primer
- A base layer under foundation that helps makeup grip and last.
- Setting spray
- A finishing mist that locks makeup in place for a long day.
- Waterproof mascara
- A formula that resists tears and humidity, like Le Volume de Chanel Waterproof.
- Ashy cast
- A gray or chalky look on deeper skin from foundation or powder that is too light or the wrong undertone.
- Flashback
- A white cast that some powders leave in flash photos.
- Contour and highlight
- Shading and light that add the dimension a camera flash flattens.
- Color analysis
- Matching colors to your natural coloring, so you know which shades light you up.
