Does anyone happen to know what terms such as muted, nude, pearl, etc.. mean?
I know each company has its own "catchy" name to describe its makeup shades, but is there a general guideline (gosh, that sounds so official!)?
TIA

| I would say like nude would be a color and muted and pearl could be like a finish of the color or enamel. What are others take on this? |

Nude could be anything..pinky/nude, peachy/nude, beige/nude...just means a color close to your lips, depending on what the color of your lips are. I tried Vincent Longo's 'nude' turned out be be anything but..itwas a peachy brown. I really wouldn't go with what they say is nude.
Muted tends to be a flat finish, pearl is frosty, shimmery is ...well...shimmer as opposed to the frost of a pear finish. Pearl finishes tend to be thicker than shimmery finishes-my favorite 
Bottom line, you gotta see'em |
