Even though the products come in fairly tall bottles, you could easily transfer them into travel size spray bottles. If your makeup is appearing cakey, simply mist your face with these product and re-blend gently using a sponge. It is advisable to use light patting motions when blending to distribute the product evenly. The sponge is also able to pick up any excess product.

Given that the skin around the area is delicate and rather thin, we would recommend removing any product build up with a makeup wipe. Gently remove your concealer or excess foundation by wrapping the tip of the makeup wipe around your index finger. This provides great support. Following which, light apply a thin layer of concealer and blend away. It is also handy to have Q-tips in your makeup bag to remove any stubborn build up.
