This is great. I wish I'd had this information as a beginner. Watching this video though, I realize that after years of listening to Chinesepod, I have picked up and internalized this habit.

Your synonym-distinguishing Qing Wens are wonderful. Thank you so much.

I was told to use 擦 for applying things like cream to the face (and I would assume also foundation). Does it sound significantly different in tone from 上? Are they interchangeable, or would they be used in different circumstances?

Also, why does one 上 粉底 but 打  腮红?

 Could one of the team reveal where the actor who plays 佳燕 is from, or else what accent she is putting on? I am very curious.

Minor point, but in the phrase: "buzzing around her like a fly everyday," it should be "every day" (two words). "Everyday" is an adjective, as in, "These are my everyday shoes." It's an easy one to miss.

Fiona thank you so much for your help and the drawing. Does this mean that 透过 is like using a broker? That is, you don't have to pass through something to get a result, but a third party or agent aids is achieving the result?

What is the difference between 他生我的气 and 他对我生气?

Does 逆光 also refer to something being backlit in the sense of not being able to see it clearly because it is against a bright light or something?
