"So the next thing that I'm going to show you is mascara. Before you apply the mascara though, you're going to want to curl your eyelashes. You can pick up an eyelash curler at any makeup store. And you want to take your eyelash curler and get as close to the lid as possible and just squeeze it close and just hold it for a few seconds. And then kind of walk it out and squeeze lightly as you're walking it out, cause that's going to prevent any crease. Sometimes you might have to go in a couple of times to get all of your lashes. And it's really important to curl your eyelashes because if you don't and you apply mascara, your eyelashes can go straight down, like Alex's go straight down. So if you applied mascara to her without curling, it would actually make her eyes look more small and closed. And it's definitely something you want to avoid the day that you're getting married. And everyday, show off your eyes. So now I'm going to apply the mascara and I suggest using a waterproof mascara because most likely you're going to cry on your wedding day. And also, it's important to remember, don't pump your mascara to get more out. That, all that does is pump more air into your mascara and then you're going to go through it a lot quicker. So take it and swirl it around the sides, if you're trying to get more. Wipe off the tip, and then start at the base of the lashes and just kind of wiggle your brush back and forth and that's going to give you a really thick looking mascara. And then just pull it all the way out to the ends. And that's going to really coat all your lashes. We're going to apply eyelashes next, but, you still want to curl and apply mascara before you put the eyelashes on. So just make sure that you start at the base, as close to the lid as possible, wiggle your brush and pull it up. And don't forget these ends right here, and then go all the way into the inner corner, and just wiggle and pull your lash up. And then before dipping your brush back into the mascara, I would suggest doing the bottom lashes because you don't want these to be too heavily coated, just a soft little amount, to keep that natural look, but just kind of pop your lashes out, just a tiny bit more. And that's how you apply the mascara."
