From “Gringe” to “Draping”, beauty buzzwords can be tricky to decode. Lane Crawford enlists the help of beauty insiders and bloggers to define and show the key beauty terms trending right now.
“‘Draping’ is a term for contouring and adding dimension to the face using blush. It was inspired by the godfather of modern makeup, Way Bandy.”

“A play on the word selfie, a ‘beauty shelfie’ is when you take a photo to proudly showcase all your makeup or skincare products. Mine is extreme - a glass cabinet that fills a whole wall - filled with eye palettes, foundations, fragrances, candles, lipsticks and blushes.”
Regina Gao, Makeup Artist
“The term ‘gringe’ is a play on the words grown out and fringe. I love mixing up my hair look, so for an extra dose of energy, I like to pair my gringe with another trending buzzword – ‘hun’ - which is a bun with half your hair up and half of it down.”
Savi, Blogger
“A ‘squoval’ is a nail shape that combines square and oval. To achieve the look, you file the nail into a square and then file the corners, making soft edges (like the shape of an iPhone). The difference between a ‘squoval’ and an oval shape is that the ‘squoval’ is more subtly curved.”
Whitney Gibson, Nail Artist
