With rapid development of economic in China and rising in people's living standard, more and more new products appear and to rich the people's daily life. Improvement for social progress and civilization, not just for women, almost all of the human being should use some cosmetics to keep their imagination. Cosmetics from narrowly is refer to women only make-up products become a word generalized refer to external application on all of the consumers in the daily life make-up for their bodies. There are specifically directed towards men, the elderly, babies, and even pet's advent of cosmetics. Cosmetic is everywhere, as small as a little soap or a bottle of facial cream; it is becomes a daily necessity. It can be said that, to survive in the modern society, nobody can live without cosmetics. In recent years, China has become the second largest cosmetics consumer market in Asia. Faced with such a huge consumer groups, the domestic cosmetic factory can not satisfy the needs of so many people in China, so the world's leading cosmetic factories are also assigned to China to sell their cosmetics. The luxury cosmetic has also entered homes of ordinary people. Along with the tourism industry developed, many people like to travel abroad also increased and they like to buy foreign cosmetics as a gift to friends and relatives or their own use year by year, so that has been followed also brought countless cosmetics instruction in English. On the form, it is includes cosmetic product packaging, brochures, books, instructions and so on. As the differences between Eastern and Western cultures, translated English cosmetics instructions into Chinese is vary greatly and it is inevitable translate error or have no cosmetic instruction. That gave the consumers risks in the safe use. English cosmetic instruction can be translatable in Chinese better. It should be a prerequisite for this particular stylistic feature with familiar understanding. Therefore, to tide for the history, to study the English stylistic features of specification of cosmetics instruction is necessary. It can be understood the English cosmetics instructions of the stylistic features even through no cosmetics instructions in Chinese, we can also learn the general use of cosmetic steps, characteristics and usage dosage.Foreign manufacturers of cosmetics in order to allow their cosmetic quickly accept by consumers, they use of high-quality cosmetics instructions for a very important role. Cosmetic instruction describes not only provide a cosmetic composition, performance, specifications, uses and using the methods of the role, but also with shoulders like an advertisement the same mission to attract consumers to buy them. The main function of the cosmetic instruction is to disseminate knowledge and guidance to consumers to help consumers can better understand the characteristics of cosmetics, performance, usage and reasonable consumption, to avoid selection or improper use cause unnecessary losses. Therefore, cosmetic instruction can introduce the product and also the nature of advertising. However, the cosmetic specification is even more stress to explain how to enjoy the products rather than merely to arouse consumer desire to buy. While some scholars in China and other countries have already conducted some research product specification and achieved remarkable achievement, but their study was conducted from a macro point of view, mainly just from the perspective instructions translated the article, but for cosmetic instruction as a sample of specific types of scientific and technological research style are very little. Therefore, this paper lock English cosmetic instruction targeted at the use of language-domain analysis theory and Halliday's Systemic Functional Grammar theory, respectively vocabulary, syntax, discourse and the overall style of a few aspects of systematic research.This paper is divided into five chapters, the first chapter is the cosmetic specification definition, literature review and the significance of the purpose of the cosmetic instruction. The second chapter study from the vocabulary specification features of cosmetic instruction. The third chapter study from the sentence specification features of cosmetic instruction. The fourth chapter study from the discourse to study the characteristics of cosmetic instruction. The fifth chapter is a conclusion. In order to try to make this study more detailed, there are more than 100 types of special collection authentic articles and related cosmetic instructions. Application of register analysis and frequency statistics stylistics research methods commonly used combined with cosmetic instruction purpose of writing specifications in turn learn from the vocabulary, sentence and chapter in the analysis point of view of stylistic of cosmetic instruction specification analyzed. I hope this paper will not only research more in-depth study to understand the cosmetic instruction specification, translation and writing, but also want to give the domestic related research findings in this area provide some valuable inspiration and reference.
