Wash the skin thoroughly with face wash or body wash, depending on the area of the body you wish you cover. Dry the skin completely and rub on a light moisturizer or lotion.

2
Use the included sponge-tipped applicator or flat concealer brush to dab some concealer the same color, or one shade lighter, than your own skin tone on the area to be covered. Tap the area lightly with your fingertips to work in the product. If the scar or flaw is red or pink, use a green concealer to counteract it and cover it completely. Yellow-based concealers hide any dark circles underneath the eyes or any prominent blue veins on the body. Peach- and golden-based concealers hide dark spots on the hands, face and body.

Drop a small amount of liquid or cream foundation the same color, or as close as you can get to your skin tone, onto a rubber applicator. Apply it to the concealed area. Blend the foundation in with the clean side of the applicator so it's absorbed into the skin and doesn't leave any discoloration.

Dip a fluffy blush brush into some translucent powder and tap off any excess back into the container. Sweep lightly across the covered area to set and hold the makeup in place. Use a yellow-based powder to even out any discoloration on the skin.
