What is the purpose of corrective makeup?

  1. To enhance natural features

  2. To change the shape of the face

  3. To highlight the face

  4. To hide imperfections

The correct answer is: To hide imperfections

Corrective makeup is used specifically to hide imperfections on the face. Option A may suggest a general purpose of makeup, but not the specific purpose of corrective makeup. Option B and C are also incorrect as they refer to changing or enhancing features rather than hiding imperfections. It's important to note that while corrective makeup can enhance natural features incidentally, its main purpose is to conceal imperfections.
