I want to thank you for visiting expertvillage.com. Today we’re going to learn about some makeup techniques and this is my beautiful model Ana-Lucy Corona. I’m going to take a mascara, look at this right here and I’m going to apply it two ways: you apply it on top, okay like this and 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’re actually putting a lot of product on your eyelashes and it’ll 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’re coating the lashes from both angles, the top and the bottom. Alright and that way you can see there you go, the difference between the two, go ahead and look straight up, what a difference that makes. And I’m going to go ahead and see her eyelashes are just gorgeous, and then on top, top bottom, top bottom and if you can get a mascara wand that’s shaped similar to this, you see you how it’s skinny, it’s skinny at the very top, then it’s easier for you to apply in the corners. And some mascara, if you look at the wands they’re different shaped wands. You’re kind of painting, your painting the eyelashes on both sides, and this is probably the most common mistake that I see women make is apply something like mascara, something so simple like mascara and try to get every part of your lashes, this is the part of your makeover to spend a little time on, especially if you’re not going to add false lashes. You want to make the most out of this mascara. You know a lot of women this is the quickest step they do, they boom, boom, boom they’re done. You’re really not making the most out of your eyelashes, you’re not making the most out of the formula that the mascara is meant to do. Curl your eyelashes, take your time doing your mascara, this is what’s going to make a difference between an ordinary makeover to a spectacular makeover, a few details. And what I’m doing is I’m painting her lashes, I’m taking the skinny part of the brush and I’m painting her bottom lashes like this.
