Step-by-step application guide:

1. Prep your lashes: Ensure your eyelashes are clean and dry before you begin. 
2. Remove excess product: Pull the wand out and wipe any excess mascara off on the rim of the bottle to prevent clumps. 
3. Start with upper lashes: Look in a mirror and apply the mascara by wiggling the wand back and forth from the base to the tips of your upper lashes. 
4. Apply to lower lashes: Repeat the same process for your lower lashes. 
5. Add a second coat (optional): For extra volume, apply a second coat after the first has dried. Allow it to dry completely before applying another. 
6. Avoid the eye area: Do not apply excessive product near the eye area to prevent clumping or smudging.
