Hi, my name is Taylor Babaian. I'm a celebrity makeup artist, and today I'm going to show you how to make your eyelashes appear fuller, longer and curled. So, if you're looking for your eyelashes to be fuller, longer and curled, it's all about the wand and the mascara formula. To get the look, I'm going to use L'Oreal Paris Voluminous False Fiber Lash mascara in black as black. So, when you're choosing a mascara formula, you definitely want to look at the wand and make sure that the wand goes in different directions. The bristles go in different directions. And then, in terms of the formula, look for something that has nylon fibers that will attach the lash, add fullness and length. So, I always love the use black mascara and apply it close to the base and work my way up. Kind of just rock it in the lash, get really close to the base. Almost give it an eyeliner feel so you get that intense volume at the base. And then, always make sure to get the tips. So when I'm applying the mascara to the bottom lash, I always like to turn the wand vertical so that I can really get in there. Just do one coat on the bottom lash. So, now that our top coat is dry, I'm going to apply a second coat. And you can see the nylon fibers attaching. That's what the nylon fibers do. They actually add fullness by attaching to the base of the lash. And also lengthening. So, you see how it really does intensify and lengthen that lash. So, if you really want your lashes to look longer and fuller, I always like to go as dark as possible, so my favorite is always black as black. Because you want contrast against your skin. Especially if you have darker skin, the darker you go in mascara, the better contrast you're going to have, the more visible your lashes are going to be. So, if you do have fair skin and black has a tendency to look too intense on you, you can definitely go for a soft black or a brown. But my favorite is black as black. I always like to apply a little extra, just on the ends of the eyes, just to make it appear more winged. So, if you have super, super straight lashes, you definitely want to curl your lashes before, but if you have lashes that are generally a little curly, and you just want a little extra curl, it really helps to pull and really get to the root of the lash. It already have some curl formulation or activator in the mascara, or the mascara formula. And you just kind of press it up so that it freezes. Now, I am using a waterproof formula, and I love the waterproof formula, especially if you do have a tendency to have lashes that kind of fall down afterwards. The waterproof formula, not only will it prevent from smudging or anything, it actually also prevents the lash from falling. So, we've finished Bianca's beautiful eyelashes, and you can see it's really fuller, longer and definitely curled. The way we got that was we applied two coats of mascara to the top lashes, one coat to the bottom lash. And when we applied the mascara, we kind of pushed it into the root of the lash, really lifting the lashes up to make sure and ensure that they curled. So, when you have lashes like this, where it's so beautiful and full, we don't even have any eye shadow 'cause it looks so great. All you need is a little bit of lip gloss and you're ready to go. So, there you have it. That's how you make eyelashes appear fuller, longer and curled. I'm Taylor Babaian. Thanks for watching.
