   Then apply some brown eyeshadow to the outer corners of your eyes. ,, Clamp down on your lashes for 20-30 seconds for each eye. , If desired, you can let it dry and apply another coat.
   
   Only apply to bottom lashes if you know what you're doing. ,, If you want a hint of color, then use a soft, subtle pink lip gloss. , Start with very little and add more gradually, as needed.
