The quote from the article is: ...applies tiny amounts of make-up to remove age spots, burst blood vessels and other blemishes.

That "remove" action applies to every item in the list:

- remove age spots

- remove burst blood vessels

- remove other blemishes

s/remove/hide/g

Completely off-topic, but I frequently see this type of word correction formatting online but have no idea where it's from.

Is this a type of emacs/vim find & replace shortcut, or is it just something that people have picked up on the internet and run with?

Yes, it is used in vim and sed (and probably more). s is for "substitute". g means global, substitute each occurrence, not just the first.

Thanks! I've been scratching my head on that one for a while.

I think it's slightly ambiguous wording "burst blood vessels", where "burst" is an adjective, not a verb. So burst blood vessels are something it covers up, along with age spots and other blemishes.

It's technically a past participle I think (similar to how "wrapped" functions in "wrapped sandwich"). The ambiguity in this case stems from the fact that the present tense verb is also "burst" and the sentence structure makes it easy to be misinterpreted.

It's just surface level makeup.

They detect blemishes and apply a bit of makeup to hide it. I don't know what "anti-aging ingredients" they include, but presumably nothing different than off-the-shelf makeup products.

It mixes three colored pigments in real time to match your skin, something that would be impossible unless you're a makeup pro. The Hong Kong website (where it's already available) says the serum is from SK-II, another P&G brand.

It doesn't burst blood vessels, it covers them up!

They mean if you have burst blood vessels, the makeup printer will cover them up.
