PS: How many layers do you typically put on when you're doing your own mascara?
SM: I'll put it on for three or four minutes' worth [laughs]. Yeah, I'll take a little break, a little lunch break.
MG: Today we did a nice little five minute-er.
PS: How many strokes per minute?
SM: Oh, umm, I do a fast swivel stroke.
PS: What qualities do you look for in a mascara wand and formula to be able to do this?
SM: I don't like it to be too runny or watery. I like it to be creamy. I don't like the bristles on the brush to be too long. My lashes are short — kind of thick — but shorter. I like a brush that will get in between my lashes.
MG: The Colossal Big Shot Mascara is completely amazing. It's so good. It gets at the base of your lashes, and the bristles aren't too fanned out. We both talked about how we don't have the longest lashes, so we want a mascara that is thicker that won't fall down on us as much. Thicker mascara tends to be heavier on my lashes, so they fall more.
