"OKay, now I'm going to do something else which is the eyelashes after I finished that smoky eye look with my eye shadow. You want to get some good fake eyelashes, tweezers. You also want to make sure your that your eyes are curled so you want to get a good one to curl those eyelashes. Get those eyelashes inside a squeeze tight and hold for just a few seconds. That already, naturally, gave me some good curl. Tweezers, scissors, and a good glue. I brought two different types of glues to show you what glue is good. This one has a brush so I can put the glue onto that nice fake eyelash. I take the outside corner of that eyelash, the right eyelash that I'm going to put on first, and tear it off with the tweezers. What I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead and only cut the first four part to the eyelash. Depending on how large your eyes are, I know that mine will fit perfectly with this, because you don't want necessarily an entire eyelash going across the entire eye. Then put the glue and get a good, nice amount on that fake eyelash, and especially the corners because the corners, oh it's going to hold that adhesively to your eye. So you want a good amount on that eye. Now the way that you're going to apply that is with the tweezers. You're going to hold it in the middle and then you're going to put it down. Pop it down into your eye. The first part of the eye we're going to hold it for fifteen seconds is the outer part. You're going to hold that outside with the back part of and push down and pull and, with your finger, hold it for fifteen seconds while this one sits there. Then after a fifteen second count, you pull the other side right in and hold that for another fifteen seconds. So, now that's glued in. And you want to make sure they're as close to the natural eyelashes as you can possibly get them. So get them as close as you can possibly get that. Now, I'm going to hold this part down fifteen seconds. Know that I know that it's as close to the eyelash line as I can possibly get it because you do not want to have eyelashes that you can tell that you placed on. That's why you want to get it glued as close to the natural eyelash as you can possibly get it. Especially if you're going to be on TV and the cameras are going to be up close to your face. And, once that's placed in there for fifteen seconds, I'm going to clasp with the backside of the tweezers, making sure that this is all very adhesively glued on to my skin."
