This is slang for applying large quantities of make-up to the
face or body. It derives from the verb ‘pargeting’ which is to apply a decorative, waterproof plaster to a wall. The finished plaster is also known as pargeting and can be in a variety of colours. So if a woman is piling stuff on her
face, eyebrows, eyes, lips, eyelashes or
face, she is pargeting.
