When it comes to applying mascara, we don't give much thought to the application technique. There's not much to it, right? Just curl lashes, and apply one or two coats, perhaps working in that makeup artist trick of zig-zagging mascara along the roots for a plush-looking fringe.

Backstage at Fashion Week, makeup artists like Bobbi Brown and Charlotte Tilbury work their wands in ways you'd never imagined.
