contingent. 1  dependent for existence, occurrence, character, etc., on something not yet certain; conditional (often followed by on or upon): Our plans are contingent on the weather. 2  liable to happen or not; uncertain; possible: They had to plan for contingent expenses.
Get a brush. Face masks are best applied with a soft-bristle brush, such as a paintbrush (normally used for art making) or a tint brush (normally used to apply hair dye). Invest in a brush that you will use for this purpose, and be sure to clean it when you are done.
This makes the mask easy to spread on your face. Otherwise (trust me on this - happen to me the first time too!) the mask gets too streaky to do its job! The texture is thick and glossy straight from the tube. This is why it's VERY IMPORTANT to warm the mask between your hands before applying onto your face.
