Directions from packaging:
Turn up the volume, literally, as you would turn up the volume on your radio, modern twist cap allows you to control three settings to super loud lashes. Start as close to the lash line as possible and wiggle your way up coating the entire lash with mascara, layer to achieve your desired length volume and separation. Use the first setting to lengthen lashes, twist to the second setting to volumize lashes, twist further to the third setting to curl and lift lashes for a dramatic finish. The beauty of this brush is all in the twist, it's like three mascaras in one! A look for work, one twist, dinner after, two twists, Saturday night, turn it all the way up, three twists!
