Cake face is the opposite of a beat face — it describes makeup that's been applied too thickly, resembling cake frosting. It implies poor blending, visible foundation lines, and an overall cakey, unnatural appearance. It's always used critically and can be considered rude.

Cake face是beat face的反面——它形容妆化得太厚，看起来像蛋糕上的糖霜。它暗示晕染不好、粉底线条明显、整体看起来结块而不自然。这个词总是批评性的，可能会被认为是不礼貌的。

Cake face es lo contrario de un beat face — describe un maquillaje aplicado con demasiada capa, que parece glaseado de tarta. Implica mala difuminación, líneas de base visibles y un aspecto general empastado y artificial. Siempre se usa de forma crítica y puede considerarse grosero.

「cake face」は「beat face」の正反対——メイクが厚く塗りすぎて、ケーキのフロスティングのように見える状態を指す。ブレンドが不十分で、ファンデーションのラインが見えて、全体的に粉っぽく不自然な見た目を意味する。常に批判的に使われ、失礼と見なされることもある。

케이크 페이스는 비트 페이스의 반대 — 메이크업이 케이크 프로스팅처럼 너무 두껍게 발린 상태를 말한다. 블렌딩이 잘 안 되고, 파운데이션 경계선이 보이며, 전체적으로 뭉치고 부자연스러운 느낌을 의미한다. 항상 부정적으로 쓰이며 무례하게 들릴 수 있다.
