Zusammenfassung:	A device and method for selectively applying a cosmetic composition to a treatment surface (e.g., skin) to alter an aesthetic appearance of the skin. The device (100) includes a detector (110) obtaining image data corresponding to an image of an area of skin and an applicator (120) applying the composition to the skin. The applicator (120) is aligned to apply the composition to a location within the imaged area of skin. The device analyzes the image data and selectively applies the composition to the location when a reflectance value of the area of skin is (i) less than a reflectance value of a selected tone, and (ii) greater than a reflectance value of the location. The reflectance value of the selected tone may be generated based on image data corresponding to a region of skin adjacent to the area of skin. The device and method aim to reduce appearance of undesirable skin artifacts and enhance the aesthetic appearance of skin while limiting the need for the application of a continuous layer of cosmetic composition.
