pretty privilege：颜值福利

noun [U]

UK /ˈprɪt.i ˌprɪv.əl.ɪdʒ/

US /ˈprɪt̬.i ˌprɪv.əl.ɪdʒ/

the advantages or benefits that people who are physically attractive are thought to receive

因外形好，颜值高而得到更多的优势或好处。

例句：

The social advantages of pretty privilege are many: good-looking people come off as smart, capable, trustworthy, and generally morally virtuous. People will buy you drinks at bars, randomly do nice things for you, give you gifts, and generally go out of their way for you. Economic advantages abound, too: attractive people are more likely to receive raises, promotions, and be heard in the workplace.

yassification：美颜照“骗”

noun [U]

UK /ˌjɑːs.ɪ.fɪˈkeɪ.ʃᵊn/

US /ˌjæs.ə.fəˈkeɪ.ʃᵊn/

the process of adding filters or other edits to a photo of someone to make them look more beautiful or glamorous but with a result that is unrealistic

对用美颜工具修图，让人看上去更漂亮或光彩照人，但最终显得不太真实。

例句：

If you’ve spent any time online recently, you’ll be familiar with “yassification”: the disconcerting social media trend, which takes “glow-ups” to the next extreme. And Margot Robbie is the latest celebrity to fall victim to it. That’s right, someone looked at a photo of Margot – with her slim frame, blonde hair, blue eyes etc. (features which are already held as Eurocentric beauty ideals) and thought she needed FaceTune. It’s fair to say that people in the comments were unimpressed.

noun [plural]

UK /ˌnjʊə.rəʊ.kɒzˈmet.ɪks/

US /ˌnʊr.oʊ.kɒzˈmet.ɪks/

skincare and beauty products containing ingredients that have an effect on the nervous system and brain through the skin

一些美肤和美颜产品，包含的成份能透过皮肤影响神经系统和大脑

例句：

Neurocosmetics, a concept rooted in the idea that the brain and skin are intrinsically linked, are products formulated to play off that connection. The brands creating neurocosmetics claim that certain ingredients can commune with neuroreceptors (also called neurotransmitters) in the skin, like a text message thread between the brain and the skin.
