How to do the proper make up with the use of Le Teint Encre de Peau? The cosmetic from a fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, as one of the few foundations, has the applicator enabling us to apply the cosmetic straight on our face.

However, in the manual publicized on the producer’s website, it is mentioned that the foundation needs to be spread with our hands. So, what is the use in introducing this strange applicator? What are the other important information included into the manual? For example, before every usage, it is advisable to give the bottle a little bit of a shake. Another piece of information concerns the application itself. The foundation is to be applied on chick, nose, cheeks and forehead.
