Urban Dictionary
beat face
When the make up applied to a person's face is so powerful and amazing that it makes them look truly stunning. 'Beat' can also be used to describe any variety of things, not just one's face. The term is popular among make up enthusiasts and the gay community.
1. Did you see Angela at her wedding? Her face was beat for a whole new year
2. I'm about to give you beat face, darling.
3. Tommy's outfit is beat. He's about to go party.

Its an old saying from the Paris is burning days, but revived into popularity after Drag race. :-) It was also use for a not so nice way to explain a makeup look.

When I hear it I cringe. When I was growing up I always had the joy of hearing my father say how he was going to beat my face in when I did something he didn't like. And a few times he physically did so I wish this saying would just disappear. :(

Its becoming more popular. my friend said it to me when I first started doing makeup n she was trying to motivate me to market to more woman. I just realized in the past yr its so used. but mostly in the last few months since I got on instagram.. they use it like crazy!.
"when I get bored I beat my face' "check out this beat job by xxx". I just kinda cringe but I can't judge I guess. I don't know.

Lol yes good o'l instagram lingo..I grew up with that word meaning her face makeup is not up to par like ugh her face is Beat to the fullest, or yup her face is beat!! So in my mind its not a pleasant word and the fact its towards all ladies.

I am happy to say I have never heard of this beat thing and I'm glad, I would take it offensively if someone told me that and let them now it aint right (I've been through domestic violence and have gotten my face beat many times) to me this shouldnt be said sorry for my rant but no one should be saying beat lightly
