Beauty Glossary: 5 Essential Product Terms Decoded

Every year, new beauty products become bestsellers, but many women can't explain what they actually are. Here are five confusing terms clarified.

Beauty Glossary: 5 Essential Product Terms Decoded

Each year, fresh products climb to bestseller status, yet plenty of women still struggle to define what these items truly are. We’re breaking down the five most puzzling products that often leave people scratching their heads.

Gel Booster

You’ve likely spotted a bottle of this product without fully grasping its purpose or correct usage. A booster is most commonly applied to fine hair to add volume. Unlike hairspray, it won’t cause strands to stick together, keeping them light and airy. Apply the gel onto clean, towel-dried hair.

Duofiber

Behind this complicated name lies a makeup brush. Its unique feature is the material: one half uses natural bristles, while the other half is synthetic. This blend allows foundation and blush to go on smoothly, without any streaking.

Kayal

Almost everyone has heard of this pencil. Kayal refers to a soft eyeliner designed to line the inner rim of the lower eyelid. It can come in any color, but its trademark is a creamy texture, often combined with antiseptic ingredients.

Meteorites

Just a few years ago, Guerlain meteorites were the ultimate dream for every makeup artist. Today, many brands offer their own take on this wildly popular product. Meteorites are powder or blush shaped into tiny balls. They don’t deliver a strong color payoff but work as a tinted highlighter.

Plumper

At first glance, a plumper looks like ordinary lip gloss—until you put it on. This product contains irritating ingredients such as red pepper or ginger, which make lips appear fuller. The gloss may cause a slight tingling or burning sensation right after application, but that discomfort fades quickly.
