" Hi my name is Yvette Parish and thank you for visiting expertvillage.com. I'm going to take the mascara. Look at this right here and I'm going to apply it two ways. You apply it on top. Okay like this. Then you apply it underneath, and you wonder why and I'll tell you...because if you only do this like most women do apply it, you are actually putting a lot of product of your eyelashes and it would make them wilt. So if you want them to curl, you have to do the top and the bottom. The top and the bottom because we are coating the lashes from both angles, the top and the bottom. Then on top, top, bottom, top, bottom. If you get mascara wand that is shaped to similar to this, you see how it is skinny. It goes skinny at the very top. Then it is easier for you to apply in the corners. Some of mascaras, if you look at the wands they are different shaped wands. You kind of painting, you are painting the eyelashes on both sides. This is probably the most common mistake that I see women make is apply something like mascara, something so simple like mascara."
