"Alright, so we're going to finish off Sherry's eye with a little mascara. And what I'm going to do with this is, I definitely want to give her a lot of volume, because she's got some really beautiful eyes going on here. So, go ahead and look down, and I'm going to take this mascara right from the base of her lash, and just totally pull it out. And I may even give her two coats, because I want to give her some really thick lashes. But like I said, I'm going to start from the base of the lash, and I'm sort of using a sawing motion back and forth. I'm going to move my brush back and forth because that's really going to grab the lash as I'm moving to the outer edge of the lash. Another thing I'm going to do too is also go from inside as well, or you know, on the backside of the lash, and that's going to grab it from back there as well. So, it's totally going to coat the lash and make it jet black. And especially for a smoky eye, that is something really, really pretty. So, let's start on the other eye here, get a little bit more color, I'm going to dip my tube, or my wand back in to the tube. And go ahead and look down, and once again, I'm going to start from the base and pull out, getting from behind the lash as well. And of course, when you're doing your mascara at home, you don't have to look down like this, but this is a great way to do it on someone else, because I don't want to poke her in the eye. So, when I'm ready to do the lashes on the bottom, I'm actually not going to stick my wand back in to the tube, I'm sort of just going to use the leftovers on the wand because your lashes down below are so much thinner, that it's just going to be too much. So, I'm just going to use the same wand, I'm not dipping it back in, and I'm just going to blend right below. And you can see, it's just going to give her a little bit more definition, go ahead and look up a little bit, there you go, but it's not overboard. And there you go. "
