Use Of Under-Eye Concealers:
Concealers help cover dark circles around the eyes. Thus enhancing the appearance of the face. They are applied before using the harmony foundation and match the skin tone. Special care must be taken when applying any product around the eyes, so that the skin is not stretched. Don't apply the cream from the inside corner of the eye to the outside. Instead dab it on the skin and then gently blended with the finger tips moving from the outside corner to the inside corner. This procedure will not pull the skin. Let the product dry, then apply more to get the desired opacity. Use a cosmetic cleanser to remove it instead of vigorously rubbing the skin with soap and water.

Foundation:
Application Technique:
Take a coin drop of foundation in your hand (add a complimentary tone if necessary). Dot it all over the face, nose, cheeks, chin, temples and in between the brows. Use your finger tips or a small clean, dampened sponge (from which excess water has been removed) to blend the foundation. Always work from the face outwards. This helps to avoid accumulation of the foundation around the hairline. Your movement should be from the cheeks to the ears, from between the brows down over the nose, from the chin out towards the jaw, then onto the neck. Work quickly, carefully and lightly. Put the foundation over the eyelids. Finally take a clean dry tissue and blot the face with it, pressing lightly over the skin.

Corrections And Improvements Through The Use Of Make-up:
Poor skin tones can be improved by using a correcting make-up base: a mauve base can conceals, pale and dull skin tones, and brighten the skin. To mask red blotches and ruddiness a green base is suggested. Dark circles under the eye are camouflaged with the help of a concealer. Correcting bases should be applied before applying foundation. For enhancing facial features remember that pale shades lengthen, fill out, and brighten, while dark shades reduce, deepen, darken, and conceal. However this form of correcting base is applied after the use of basic foundation. These correcting bases are available as liquids, creams and pencils.
