"Next up we are moving up to eyelashes. Now I got a little trick here it is called a lash primer. What a lash primer is a conditioning agent usually have pro vitamin B5 it would help condition the lashes as well as build your lashes up. This is especially great for someone who has short or sparse lashes and you basically just lift the eye half way up and wiggle it. You can see how this lengthens and it thickens each individual lash. It is also very nutrition you can wear this at night if you want to go to sleep. This is obviously a extra step it is not something you have to do but if you want to have a bit more glamorous look or more fuller lashes this is the ticket for you. So we got that lash primer on no need to let it dry. You can move right on to mascara at that point. Now one thing that I want to remind you of this really bad to pumping the mascara it actually pushes air and bacteria into it. For some of you who might want to use a little bit of water to try and loosen it is up it is not good either. That is a great way to promote bacteria and you don't want to get a eye affection. Life expecting about 3 to 3 1/2 months pushing at the maximum and then you just want to get a new mascara so starting at the base it is always good if you kind of wiggle back and forward. This would make the lashes look a little fuller, emphasizing a little bit more at the corner and do a little bit on the top if you want. There is many different types of mascaras it just depends if you want lengthen or defining or if you want thickening or curling there is some many types out in the market. You just want to make sure that you only wear water proof if you are going to be swimming or crying. Water proof is great if you are going to be at a wedding or actually in the wedding but water proof mascara on everyday base is really bad for your lashes and it would eventually breaks them and cracks them off and they really don't grow back. So you don't want to do that. On the bottom up I like open I just went a little bit on the bottom. I don't like to have spider lashes down there just enough to emphasis the eye and you can even take them and do them individually if you like which is a little touch of mascara. So next up we are going to be moving on to eyebrows."
