How to Apply Mascara: * Prep lashes with Lancome's Cils Booster XL Eyelash Primer. * Hold Monsieur Big Mascara wand horizontally by eyelashes. * In an upwards swiping motion for top lashes, and downward swiping motion for bottom lashes, apply mascara. * Layer as desired to achieve 12x the volume (from bare lashes), and intense black pigment. How To Apply Eyeliner: * Apply eyeliner as close to lashes as possible for a tight line, or gradually increase to create a dramatic cat-eye or smoky eye makeup look. * Use the tip of the pencil to fill in any gaps between lashes. * Blend immediately after application when creating a soft or smoky look since this formula is ultra-waterproof and sets quickly.
