4. HOW TO USE

For First Time Use:
  1. Prime the Pen: Upon first use, twist the bottom of the pen 10-15 times or until the product becomes visible on the sponge tip .
  2. Check Dispensing: Ensure product has reached the applicator before applying to the face. If product does not appear after several twists, continue twisting until product reaches the sponge tip .
For Color Correcting Very Dark Circles:
  1. Prep Skin: Start with clean, moisturized skin. Apply eye cream if desired and allow to absorb.
  2. Apply Corrector: Using the sponge tip applicator, apply the red corrector directly onto very dark circles and areas with deep blue or purple undertones . Use a tiny amount—a dot the size of the sponge tip is sufficient .
  3. Blend: Gently tap and blend the corrector into the skin using your fingertip or the sponge tip itself. Blend well to avoid harsh lines .
  4. Let Set: Allow the corrector to dry for a moment on the skin before applying concealer on top .
  5. Apply Concealer: Apply your regular concealer or foundation on top of the corrected area .
  6. Blend Again: Gently blend concealer over the corrector for a flawless, brightened finish.
For Best Results:
  • Use Before Foundation: Apply color corrector BEFORE foundation or concealer for the most effective results .
  • Less is More: Start with a very small amount of product. The pigmentation is extremely strong, so a tiny dot goes a long way .
  • Let It Dry: Allow the corrector to dry completely before applying concealer on top to prevent mixing and sheering out the coverage .
  • Top with Full Coverage Concealer: For maximum results, use a medium to full coverage concealer on top of the red corrector .
  • Apply to the Target Area Only: Apply the corrector directly on the dark area and blend the edges, leaving the center slightly thicker for maximum correction .
Pro Tips:
  • For Very Fair Skin: If you have very fair skin, use an extremely light hand and blend thoroughly, or consider a peach/apricot corrector instead, as red may be too intense .
  • For Maximum Brightening: After applying concealer over the red corrector, add a touch of brightening powder to the inner corner of the eye.
  • For Bruising: Apply directly to bruises or discoloration on the face, allow to dry, then layer foundation on top .
  • Don't Over-Blend: When blending the red corrector, focus on blending only the edges. Leaving the center slightly thicker ensures maximum color cancellation .
SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
