Before you start, 'break through' the first layer of your Color Balm with your fingertips, by rubbing it on the back of your hand for a few strokes. Once you get through the topmost layer, Color Balm is easy to apply, with a color payoff.

1. Apply directly to the skin and blend. 
This will result in an instant bold color that can be blended for your desired finish look. Perfect method for cheek and lips application.

2. Warm up and apply with clean fingers.
Use the tip of your finger to warm up Color Balm and apply to skin by swiping a few times back and forth. This method is ideal for eyelid application, just be sure to tap very gently.  

3. Apply with a clean makeup brush.
This method is preferred when looking to achieve a light, buildable color for an easy customized look.
