direction
Explanation:
Ovvero se i valori rilevati sono positivi o negativi.

In matematica di parla appunto di "direction".

Oppure rigiri la frase e parli di valori positivi o negativi.

Naturalmente ci vorrebbe più contesto, ma suppongo si tratti di questo.

Niente a che che fare con cosmetics and beauty, però.
