Improving Your Classic Lash Sets with Mackenzie Unsworth

In this episode, AnneMarie is joined by Untamed Marketing Coordinator and expert lash artist Mackenzie Unsworth. Mackenzie is here to help talk through some of the difficulties lash artists may encounter when applying classic sets. From technical tips to make these sets look fuller, last longer, and not damage natural lashes - to time-saving and pricing recommendations - Mack is happy to talk with us and encourage anyone who may be discouraged or “anti-classic lash sets”. They can and do take time, but it’s just important to practice, focus, and build your skills with some of the tips Mack shares with us today.
