Black History Month & Volume Lashes

For the past 2 years, I've made it a point to do a photo shoot with an African American model showcasing their strength and beauty in various ways.  This year, I had the opportunity to work with a local Bay Area model, Belle Sophie.  She was such a pleasure to work with and I love that she was open minded to whatever look I wanted to do.

Since she's a natural beauty, I didn't want to give her lash extensions that were long and super thick where the focus was on the lashes.  Instead, I wanted to compliment her beauty by applying eyelash extensions that followed the shape of her eye and enhanced slightly on the outer corners.  

To create this look, I kept the lashes short.  Shorter lashes create a darker, fuller lash line without looking over the top.  A lot of my clients really like this look.  

Overall, I'm pleased with the results and so is she.  I should mention, it was her first time wearing eyelash extensions and now she's hooked!
