Video Transcript

"For her I'm going to use a really thick, voluminous, lengthening and thickening mascara. At this point you could do false eyelashes if you really wanted to give it drama. Again, I'm trying to keep it from day to night. I'm trying to keep it a little more neutral. So I'm just going to use a really nice, dark black thickening and lengthening mascara. I'm just going to really pile this on her lashes and really accentuate her eyes, make them look open. You just really want to be patient and really work this into the eyelashes. Separate each individual lash and really thicken them. Take your time. Do one coat, then go back and do another coat until you get your desired look. Don't forget about the bottom lashes as well. Once you get the top ones done, you really want to accentuate the bottom lashes as well. It makes a huge difference. Really separate each little lash, it looks so cute, it just makes the eyes look open. It kind of gives the look a sexier, sultry feel. Accentuate the ends of the eyes as well, really pile it on. As you can see, look at the tremendous difference between one eye to the next eye by just adding a little bit of mascara, and that's just one coat. You can just keep adding and adding. I'm very anal about mascara. I like to really accentuate each little lash. There we go. That's a perfect mascara look."
