Therefore, B is the correct answer as it pertains to the concept of complimentary colors. A, choosing foundation, may involve color matching, but not necessarily utilizing complimentary colors. C, setting spray application, also does not involve the use of complimentary colors. D, eyelash curling, does not involve color correction at all.
