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.
The Untamed podcast is hosted by Cheryl Peng, Founder of Untamed Artistry and AnneMarie Lorenzini, CEO. Untamed Artistry provides professional lash artists with helpful knowledge and quality eyelash extension products (hand-tested in our lash nerd lab). Find great products and all the education you could ever want (with a healthy dose of quirk) at UntamedArtistry.com
