"Hi I'm Kelli, I'm an aesthetician and a makeup artist at Ulta Salon and Cosmetics and I'm going to show you how to apply a mascara. Just going to take a little on our wand here and then if you will look up for me. We're just going to start on the bottom lashes, just kind of do a little wiggle side to side with just the point of the brush. Like to do the bottom lashes first because after, if you do your top lashes first, then you look up, most of the time you're going to end up with mascara all over your brow and the top of your eye. So do the bottom lashes first. Look down for me. And when doing the top lashes, I like to just kind of roll a little bit of color on the top and then just start at the base and wiggle your brush up through. This is going to give you better separation, it's going to give you less clumping and it's going to make sure that your mascara hits every lash. You can also, when you're wiggling your way up through, just hold it right at the tip for a couple of seconds, let the polymers in the mascara set and that's going to give you a little bit more lift and curl. So that's how you would to apply a mascara."
