How to Apply Mascara

Video Transcript

"Okay, well now that the eyes are almost complete, we have one finishing touch, and that's mascara. Now, since this look is all about the eyes, after you do the mascara, you have the choice of putting on individual eyelashes, which I'm going to show you how to do, which some people are very, very intimidated by, but they're really quite easy to put on, if you know how to do it. These little eyelashes you can buy in any drugstore. They're very inexpensive, and you just use a little bit of glue and you add them to your natural lash. You just kind of accentuate. So, I'm going to put a coat of mascara on her eyelashes, and then I'm going to show you how to put a few individual lashes on to perfect the look. Now, I'm using a lengthening, thickening, volumizing mascara. And you might want to curl your eyelashes also before you use mascara. And you want to separate your lashes. You want to make sure your lashes are not clumped together. So really take time, and be patient when doing your mascara. Her lashes are already curly, so we could nix that step. You also want to put a little mascara on the bottom lash. Look up for me. Just a tiny bit. And again, make sure your lashes are separated, you do not want them to look clumpy. And then, once your mascara's on and dried, wait about a minute, you want to put on your individual lashes. So you want to take one at a time, and they're little teeny-weeny-weeny things, so you really have to be patient when you're putting them on. You want to take a little bit of glue, I like to use the back of my hand, you can use a little Petri dish, whatever. Take the little lash in your fingers, put a tiny bit of glue on it, tiny bit, and apply it - start at the end - to the end of your eyelash. So right on top of your natural lashes. And you can add as many as you want. I'm just going to add a few more. And one more. Look at the camera. And it just kind of adds a little bit of spunk to the end of the eyelash."
