求一英文詞彙, 要準要簡, 急用, 謝!

本人欲求一個能概括以下方面的英文詞彙 (必須是名詞):
化妝, 紋身, 穿環, 染髮, (為美化儀容) 矯齒及戴con, 塗甲油, 黏眼睫毛等

名詞以較短者為佳 (1-3 words), 具學術性及概括性, 大約有'改變某人身體特徵以美化儀容' 的意思, (類似 physical alteration) 但非'整容' (NOT makeover / plastic surgery) 或等於'美容'. (NOT beauty feature, skincare)

由於苦苦思索仍不得其字, 故如有合用之詞, 萬分感激!

English vocabulary

You may like to use "Aesthetic Body Alternations"(大約有'改變某人身體特徵以美化儀容' 的意思) collectively for 化妝, 紋身, 穿環, 染髮, (為美化儀容) 矯齒及戴con, 塗甲油, 黏眼睫毛等.

Body modification/alteration is the deliberate altering of the human body for any non-medical reason, such as aesthetics. It includes body piercing , ear piercing, tattooing and surface piercing.

"Body modification" should not be used because it is a much broader term. As quoted in answer 003 below, it covers also modifications for sexual enhancement, religious reasons and membership signification etc. It also includes plastic surgery which is ruled out by Ki the host of this question,.

Body modification. It is the deliberate altering of the human body for any non-medical reason, such as aesthetics, sexual enhancement, a rite of passage, religious reasons, to display group membership or affiliation, to create body art, shock value, or self expression. In its most broad definition it includes plastic surgery, socially acceptable decoration (e.g., common ear piercing in many societies), and religious rites of passage (e.g., circumcision in a number of cultures), as well as the modern primitive movement.
