Makeup language

Som jag sa förut så håller jag på att fördjupa mig lite i “makeup språket” på engelska.
Found this picture, among other things.
Det är ju faktiskt väldigt viktigt att veta ögats “olika delar” om man ska sminka a person in English at some point.
I already knew that in English you have abbreviations to very much, but only now realize how insanely much it really is!
At first I was shocked that there were so many abbreviations at all. Then I was even more shocked when I realized that they really are uses all!

For example:

MMU = Mineral makeup
MSF = Mineralized skinfinish
E / S = Eyeshadow
L / G = Lip Gloss
LOTD = Look of the day
TM = Tinted moisturizer
ELF = Eyes, lips, face (from there the website elf got its name)
BOGO = Buy one get one (take two pay for one)


There are about a thousand more abbreviations, and some that are completely unnecessary e.g. P / M = Pigment. Why do you have to shorten it ?!

By the way, did you know that MUA does not always stand for make up artist? Many just write MA because MUA is the abbreviation for the website MakeUpAlley which seems to be a very big makeup site in the US.

And I, and probably most of my blog readers too, am MUGs - Makeup geeks!
