有效化妆

• Pinyin: yǒu xiào huà zhuāng
• Hanzi breakdown: 有效化妆 is read as a fixed modern phrase; its literal parts point toward makeup that noticeably improves or highlights the intended features.

Meaning

Makeup that noticeably improves or highlights the intended features.

Use it for skillful, flattering makeup rather than simply applying many products. Use it in casual conversation with a concrete scene, because the tone can change quickly if it sounds like a blanket judgment.

Examples

2. 朋友提到有效化妆，重点是先说明场景。 When a friend mentions 有效化妆, the key is to first explain the context.
3. 别乱扣有效化妆，具体原因要讲清楚。 Don't just label something as 有效化妆 at random; explain the specific reasons clearly.
