A method of applying a security feature to a substrate comprising the steps of:

• transferring a first foil having a planar shape onto an area of a major surface of a substrate by pressing;
• transferring a second foil over the first foil wherein the second foil is formed in a shape to be within the planar shape of the first foil.

A method of providing security, comprising:

• placing a first foil section of a substrate and the first foil having a first sheen;
• placing a second foil having a shape in the form of an image over the first foil, the second foil has a lower sheen then the first foil.

A system of providing security, comprising:

• surface means;
• a first foil means being applied to the major surface of the surface means, the first foil means having a first sheen means;
• a second foil means having a shape in the form of an image being applied over the first foil means, the second foil means having a sheen means which is different from the first foil means, wherein the sheen means of the second foil means is lower than the sheen means of the first foil means.
