" Hi my name is Yvette Parish and thank you for visiting expertvillage.com. We did a beautiful natural look on my beautiful model Carrie, and now we are going to finish her look with some luxurious mascara. I chose a high impact mascara which is a very glamorous type of mascara, but I'm going to use a different brush. So I'm going to use sort of a different brush and I'm going to apply it on top and underneath her lashes. Why did I change the brush? I will tell you because this brush is very very it holds a lot of product and I don't want to put that much mascara on her. I want to have the control of the mascara. I don't want the mascara to control me. So I'm just going to take what I need. Use a different brush and apply it on top of her lashes and underneath. On top and underneath. So both layers get a nice nice coating. Now if you could tell the difference we do the difference between when she have mascara or not. If you are going to be spending a lot of time outside. If you have allergies or anything like that, and you are sneezing or crying or any type of water activity in your eyes, get a water resistant mascara. Unless you are a Olympic swimmer you do not need waterproof. Waterproof mascara has a lot of tough chemicals in that and it is very hard to remove. So if you could find a mascara that it would say water resistant, that is more nourishing for your eyelashes then water proof. I'm just applying the mascara and this is a soft black, because I wanted her to have a little fullness. If you are very fair skin and fair haired, your eyelashes may be fair as well."
