What is your go-to makeup look for back to school?

Which Velour lash style or collection works best for you on a busy morning and why?
“Classic Velour-Xtensions™ Lash Clusters or Self-Stick Lash Clusters in Spiky Chic- they’re both just so easy to apply and when I’m on a tight timeline adding a half lash just makes me look more put together.”
