Those terms were then clustered into makeup tool, makeup application technique, make up terms, and makeup mistake. The 69 terms belong to primer and secondary meaning. As primer meaning. lexical meaning gained 8 terms, denotative meaning gained 15 terms, and literal meaning gained 6 terms. On the other side, the rest is grammatical meaning, connotative meaning, and figurative meaning. Each of them gained 10 terms, 13 terms, and 17 terms. This study informed that most of the terms in the context of beauty have experienced change in semantics. Denotative meaning was the top among those meanings.
