Tech/Engineering - Cosmetics, Beauty | | French term or phrase: cheminée | | I have no sentence to give as context. Just a list of elements (base, capot et cheminée) of a new blush made by YSL that comes in a tube like a lipstick. Is anyone familiar with the parts of a lipstick tube who can tell me what a "cheminée" is? |
| | | tube | Explanation:
Hi Kimberly,
If the blush is in a tube shape, and you've got the base and capot (cap), then I imagine the cheminee is the actual tube part in between. The tube shape no doubt resembles a long and cylindrical stove pipe :-)

This packaging companies refers to the cheminée métallisée of the lipstick packaging they created, and the images show a metallic tube.

Asker: Yes, looking at the Alcan site, where they talk about the cap and base (and nothing in between), I finally fired up my brain cells, and came up with the word "tube".
