“粉饼”常见的英文表达是 pressed powder 或 compact powder。
Pressed powder:强调粉饼是经过压制成型、质地较为紧实的特性。
Compact powder:侧重于描述粉饼通常被装在便携的盒子(compact)里这一特点,这种表达在日常交流和化妆品行业都很常用。
例如:
I always carry a pressed powder in my bag for touch-ups during the day.(我包里总是放一块粉饼,方便白天补妆。)
She applied some compact powder to set her makeup.(她涂了些粉饼来定妆。)
