Lesson overview:

This lesson introduces students to everyday makeup and beauty vocabulary through a lively listening activity. Students will follow a step-by-step routine, learning how to use and recognize common beauty terms in context. By the end of the lesson, they’ll confidently describe daily routines, talk about products they like, and use natural collocations such as apply foundation or use setting spray.

By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:

  • identify and use essential makeup and beauty terms
  • understand spoken descriptions of makeup routines
  • talk about their own beauty habits naturally and fluently

Lead-in:

Students begin by exploring the idea of a capsule makeup collection. They’ll guess what it means and discuss why someone might prefer a minimal set of products. Then, they’ll read a short excerpt explaining the term, helping them connect new vocabulary to a real-world beauty trend.
