Summarize the following:
A tapered brush is one of the best tools for applying cream foundation because it makes it easier to get even coverage. Using a brush to apply cream foundation may also make it easier to get even coverage in areas like your eyelids, around your nostrils, and along your hairline.  Dab a small amount of cream foundation on the brush and then begin spreading it over your face using short strokes. Keep going until you have the desired coverage. Beauty sponges are also excellent tools for getting even coverage with your cream foundation. These sponges are dense and curved with a pointed tip on the end. You can use the curved part of the sponge for larger areas of your face and the pointed part of the sponge for small areas, such as your eyelids and the areas around your lips.  Dab a small amount of foundation on the sponge and then use short strokes to get even coverage. Smooth the sponge over your skin until you get the coverage you want. If you don’t have any special tools for applying makeup, then you can also use your fingers to apply the cream foundation. Dab a small amount of cream foundation onto a few of your fingertips and then begin applying the foundation to your face. Use your fingertips to blend the foundation evenly over your face until you are happy with the coverage.

summary: Use a tapered foundation brush to get even, full-face coverage. Use a beauty blender sponge for sheer, buildable coverage. Use your fingers for controlled spot application.

Ask at the seafood counter whether or not the scallops being sold are wet or dry. If they're wet, they've been treated with a chemical (sodium tripolyphosphate) that helps the scallops absorb moisture. Dry scallops haven't been treated so they're fresher, easier to sear, and have a sweeter, brinier taste. Avoid wet scallops since the chemical can make it hard to sear the scallops and the chemical leaves a fishy aftertaste. If you're unable to talk with someone at the seafood counter and are purchasing pre-packaged scallops, you will still need to find out if the scallops are wet or dry. Most labels will clearly state if the scallops are wet or dry. But, if the label doesn't say, check the package for milky white liquid in the bottom. If you see this liquid and the scallops look opaque or really white, they're probably wet scallops. If you don't see any liquid and the scallops plump and clearer, they're most likely dry scallops. While some markets will remove the little flap of muscle that connects the scallop to its shell, others won't. Check over your muscles to make sure these little flaps are all removed since they can be tough. To remove the side muscle, simply pinch it and pull it away. You can throw away the side muscles or save them to make a fish stock. If you accidentally miss a side muscle, it's safe to eat. Take a paper towel and blot any excess moisture from the scallops. Season the scallops with a little salt before you're ready to start pan frying them. The salt can also help draw out extra moisture from the scallops. Try to get the scallops as dry as possible since this will help create a golden brown sear.
summary: Select dry scallops. Determine if your scallops are wet or dry. Remove the side muscles. Blot the scallops.
