your fingers and blend all over your face
OVER POWDERED FACE

brush
* lightly spray your face with
a fine mist of water

onto area and blend
OVER-COLORED EYEBROWS

powder, or use a hard toothbrush lightly coated
with a neutral eye shadow and
comb upward
TOO DARK EYE SHADOW

* using an eye shadow brush

brush or sponge-tip applicator (dry or damp)

cotton pad (dipped in makeup
