Makeup in Chinese: Foundation
 
 
 
Whether you are interested in makeup and cosmetics or just want to learn how to say different types of makeup in Chinese, then this the perfect guide for you.
Makeup in Chinese is 化妆 (huàzhuāng) and you add 品 (pǐn) at the end for cosmetics 化妆品 (huàzhuāngpǐn).
 
Before getting to the makeup vocab in Chinese, it would be helpful to get familiar with the Chinese for different facial features:
Face – 脸 liǎn
Forehead – 额头 é’tóu
Eyebrows – 眉毛 méimáo
Eye – 眼睛 yǎnjīng
Eyelashes – 睫毛 jiémáo
Nose – 鼻子 bízi
Cheek – 脸颊 liǎnjiá
Lips – 唇 chún
Chin – 下巴 xiàba
 
Foundation:
Firstly, let’s have a look at foundation in Chinese. Anyone familiar with makeup knows that there are lots of different types of foundation so let’s see how they are translated in Chinese.
Foundation – 粉底 (fěndǐ), 粉 means “powder” and 底 means “base” to literally make “powder base”. You’ll see that 粉 is used quite a lot in Chinese words for makeup.
Liquid foundation – 液狀粉底 (yè zhuàng fěndǐ) or 粉底液 (fěndǐ yè), 液means “liquid” and 狀 means “form” together making “liquid form”.
Mineral foundation – 矿物粉底 (kuàngwù fěndǐ), or 矿物狀粉底 (kuàngwù zhuàng fěndǐ), 矿物 means “mineral”, and 狀 can also be added, but isn’t essential.
Cream foundation – 膏狀粉底 (gāo zhuàng fěndǐ) or 粉底霜 (fěndǐ shuāng) 膏 and 霜 both mean cream.
Powder foundation- 粉狀粉底 (fěn zhuàng fěndǐ), which is then split into two different categories:
Pressed powder – 粉饼 (fěn bǐng), 饼 means “cake”, so together this literally means “powder cake”.
Loose powder – 散粉 (sǎn fěn) or 蜜粉(mì fěn), 散 means “to break up” and 蜜 means honey.
