How To Pronounce Beauty Brand Names
I don't know about you ladies, but I have a ridiculously hard time pronouncing beauty brand names. And it can get pretty embarrassing when I claim to be a beauty guru, then say the name of a brand incorrectly. Below are a few of the most common beauty brands that people mispronounce.
Borghese
How to pronounce it: bor-gay-zeh (NOT bor-gay-zee)
Bourjois
How to pronounce it: boor-jwah
NYX
How to pronounce it: nix (NOT N.Y.X.)
Shu Uemura
How to pronounce it: shoe oo-eh-moor-ah
L'Occitane En Provence
How to pronounce it: lox-ee-tann uhn pro-vaunce
Sheiseido
How to pronounce it: sheh-say-do
Stila
How to pronounce it: stee-lah
Rimmel
How to pronounce it: rim-l
Chantecaille
How to pronounce it: shan-tuh-kigh
Guerlain
How to pronounce it: gerr-lahn (the n is silent)
Helpful, no? I must admit, I was definitely pronouncing some of these incorrectly. But now I can talk about beauty brands with confidence! Huzzah!
