pearliness/glossiness Explanation: ラメ感 is a tough one - technically it's lamé (pron. "lamey"), but I think in English it's much too close to "lame" (as in "lame duck") for comfort. That's why I opted in for "glossy" instead, although it's not the exact same thing. If you get rid of the 感 bit, "brocade" might work better. |

pearly shine or sparkle Explanation: SHINE has been one of the more recent trends in lipsticks (the past few years). Examples: Wet Shine Diamonds (Maybelline) Pure Shine (YSL) Diamond Sparkle Lip Gloss with Super Shine (NYX) Soft Shine Lipstick (Clinique) Glam Shine Lipstick (L'oreal) Divinora Color & Shine (Guerlain) MANY more examples on the 'net. As Krzysztof mentioned, I don't know that you really need the 感 here, but anything with ラメ in it is shiny or sparkly, so my suggestion would be to either say: lipstick that gives a pearly shine, or lipstick with a pearly shine feel (if you want to keep the 感). HTH a little. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2008-03-20 02:37:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Images here: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=o...

peer agreement (net): +2Frosted or glittery Explanation: "Pearl" seems to often be used in Japanese where "frost" would be used in English. And like Yamada-san says, lame is glitter. I suspect the "感" applies to both パール and ラメ, and I think it can be expressed well in this case by simply making both words adjectives.
