Dip a small amount Explanation: 于睡前使用,沾少许,轻点于局部或适量于全脸使用 Dip a small amount and dot it on the face, or use an appropriate amount on the whole face. Use before sleep. There is no need to say "areas of the face". When you dot the cream, it implies only on one or a few points. Moreover, the use of "the whole face" in the second part of the sentence also hints that we are talking about part of the face in the first part of the sentence. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-03-07 14:28:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The concealer comes in a handy twisty stick form and you can just dot it on your face where you need it and blend it in with your fingers. Using a pea-size amount of Differin®, dot it on the forehead, cheeks and chin. To apply gel blush, dot it on the apples of your cheeks. Use a colorstay lipstick, dot it on then smudge it a bit. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-03-07 14:29:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Revised version: Dip a small amount and dot it gently on the face, or use an appropriate amount on the whole face. Use before sleep. |
