The last step of the eyes is the mascara or false lashes. Pam Anderson as well as a lot of the celebrities wear false eyelashes a lot. The full lash that you can buy at any store with glue will be really dramatic. Then you would forgo the mascara. My model Lizzie has pretty nice eyelashes, so I'm just going to pile on a lengthening and thickening mascara. Again, the more you use the better. You just want to pile it on. This is the look where you can look cakey and kind of like Tammy Faye Bakker, but more trendy. You can just pile on the mascara. Just really shape your lashes. Extend them and push them around. Let them just go all over the place. You don't have to be too anal about being neat. Take your time so that you don't get the mascara all over your face. You just want it on your eyelashes. Really get in there. Go right from the base to the ends of the lash so you extend them. You can do a whole bunch of coats if you want to. Do one coat, wait about 30 seconds, do another coat. Get the darkest black mascara that you can find. A thick brush is good too. Get a nice thick full mascara brush. Also, don't neglect the bottom lashes either. Once the top are done, really pile it on the bottom lashes as well. Remember this look is all about the makeup. Don't be afraid to pile on your makeup. This is one of the very few looks where you can just use almost as much as you want. There we go.
