Pargeting
Construction term cleverly applied to makeup application
This is slang for applying large quantities of make-up to the face or body. It derives from the verb ‘pargeting’ which is to apply a decorative, waterproof plaster to a wall. The finished plaster is also known as pargeting and can be in a variety of colours. So if a woman is piling stuff on her face, eyebrows, eyes, lips, eyelashes or face, she is pargeting.
“Look at that silly moo piling gunk on her face!” “Yeah, she does so much pargeting she keeps Maybelline in business by herself’”
