These magical mascaras are sure to create dreamy lashes. When applying your mascara we suggest wiggling the wand from left to right at the base of your lashes. You want your brush strokes to go from the root to the tip of the lashes—this creates the illusion of added length and fullness. Pull brush slowly through the lashes to prevent clumping.
Open up a smoky eye by dusting a little metallic shimmer over the lids and the inner-most corner of the eyes. Proceed to line the eye with a heavy pencil, and then blend outward using a Q-tip. Be sure to apply a darker shadow into the crease of the eye for added definition. Finish with volumizing mascara.
“Jada is most likely wearing a sheer liquid foundation. To get her smooth finish, apply your foundation with a damp sponge or brush.

Fox.
