Hello lashes! Today we are continuing the Wake Up to Makeup series with some series talk about lashes. If you missed the grey smokey eye tutorial, you should definitely check it out.

Lashes. You may be thinking what’s so important about lashes? Well, I’m going to let you in on a secret, lashes elevate your pictures from good to jaw dropping.

Really? Yes really.

Why so much concern over lashes??

We talked in the last Wake Up to Makeup post, that makeup shows up two to three shades lighter in camera than it does in real life. And this is true for lashes too.

Regular mascara just isn’t going to cut it for senior pictures. It will honestly look like you have no lashes at all. So what’s a girl to do?

If you’re are Colleen Sanders Photography Senior, have no worries!! Professional makeup is included in your session fee. My makeup artist knows how to get you looking camera ready and still like you. Your professional makeup includes false lashes!

Falsie’s are a girl’s best friend

False lashes are the absolute best! And when done by one of my makeup artists leave you still looking natural and like you. My makeup artist will help you decide if you should go with a full set or to add just a few false lashes to fill in your own.
Lizzy’s makeup looks flawless. She still looks completely like her but you also notice her gorgeous lashes.  You can also see her full session here. 

You maybe blessed with exceptional lashes and only need to add a few false lashes to your own. Kenacie’s lashes are absolutely amazing and are super long and full.

If falsie’s aren’t for you

I know some girls opt not to have false lashes – even though that is my #1 recommendation. If false lashes aren’t for you, you still want to step up your mascara game. And what I suggest is Younique’s 3D fiber mascara.  It gives the look of false lashes without the glue or a professional makeup artist’s attention to detail.

Younique’s 3D fiber mascara comes with two tubes – one with gel and one with fibers. First apply the gel  in a thin coat (like regular mascara). Second apply the fibers to the last half of your lashes. Last, add another coat of gel to seal them up. Three easy steps anyone can do to get the look of false lashes!  Want to grab one for yourself? Contact me. Here’s how to use Younique’s 3D mascara.

Here’s an example of Younique’s 3D mascara – one eye, versus both eyes. You can see the length and volume I get from this mascara.  These are not retouched – hence the wrinkles in my forehead! Just pretend those aren’t there.

Whether you’re opting for false lashes or stepping up your mascara game with Younique’s 3D fiber mascara, your lashes in your final images will truly stand out.
