Apply for
I read from books.It says:
Egyptians also applied them for decoration.
I can't understand what's the meaning "apply for" here.
I know people say apply for a job, but I guess in this case it is different.

Another example :
Egyptians applied facial cosmetics made out of animal and vegetable oils and herbs.
How about here word "apply" meaning. And I also feel I can say it like this: Egyptians applied facial cosmet
