 Next let’s look at the different kinds of lip makeup in Chinese. Lipstick – 口红 (kǒu hóng), 口 is a word for “mouth” and 红 means “red” so it’s literally “mouth red”. Lip liner – 唇笔 (chún bǐ), here 笔 is added after 唇 to make “lip pencil”. Lip balm/chapstick – 润唇膏 (rùn chún gāo), 润 means “moisten”, 唇 is “lip” and together with 膏 it makes “moisten lip cream”. 唇膏 (chún gāo) on its own can also be used as another word for lipstick. Lip gloss – 唇蜜 (chún mì), again you have 唇 and this time it is combined with 蜜 which means “honey”, so lip gloss is literally “lip honey”. Along with vocab for makeup it can also be helpful to know words for makeup remover as well: Remove makeup – 卸妆 (xiè zhuāng), this is combined with other characters for more specific vocab: Makeup remover – 卸妆水 (xiè zhuāng shuǐ) Eye makeup remover – 眼部卸妆水 (yǎnbù xièzhuāng shuǐ) Makeup remover wipes – 卸妆巾 (xièzhuāng jīn) Here are a couple of words for cleansing too: Cleansing lotion – 洁面乳 (jié miàn rǔ) Face wash – 洗面奶 (xǐ miàn nǎi) Pore cleanser – 去黑头 (qù hēi tóu)
