Beauty Glossary

The Beauty Glossary

Undertone, satin finish, retinol, monolid — beauty has a language. Here it is, explained in plain words you can actually use.

Beauty Glossary

Confidence Starts With Vocabulary

You should not need a cosmetology degree to shop for mascara. Clear definitions turn confusing labels into informed decisions.

Plain-Language Definitions

Beauty terms explained without jargon — what an undertone really is, what "non-comedogenic" promises, what a satin finish actually looks like.

Why the Terms Matter

Definitions connect to your journey: knowing your undertone makes shade-matching easier; knowing your eye shape makes liner choices obvious.

Keep Learning Beyond Words

The glossary pairs with guides and learning paths, so vocabulary turns into skill instead of trivia.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

What is an undertone?
The subtle hue beneath your skin's surface — cool, warm, neutral or olive. It determines which shades of foundation, blush and lipstick suit you.
What do finish terms like dewy and matte mean?
They describe how light interacts with your skin or makeup. Dewy reflects light for a glow; matte absorbs it for a shine-free look.
How do I use the glossary?
Look up unfamiliar terms as you shop and learn — each definition is written to connect directly to choices you make in the app.
