Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Lulu win this lane clearly — at level 2 when Lulu picks up W, you can immediately polymorph Varus mid-Q charge and dash in for a free double-shot trade that Varus cannot respond to.
Post-6, Varus R is a genuine threat that can lock you in place for a full Q charge, so you must respect his R range and avoid standing in a straight line with Senna where both can be hit.

Your best trading pattern is to bait Varus into charging Q, then have Lulu W him to cancel it while you E in and proc your passive double-shot — after the short trade, E back out before Senna can land her W root.
Repeat this pattern every time your E is up; Varus has no mobility to punish your dash-in-dash-out pattern and will be zoned off CS progressively.

Keep the wave slightly pushed toward their tower to force Varus to walk up for CS, creating repeated opportunities for your short-trade pattern — a pushed wave also reduces the distance Senna needs to walk to collect souls, but it keeps them under pressure where one mistake means a tower dive.
Do not let the wave bounce back and freeze near your tower, as that removes your ability to all-in and gives Varus free Q poke.

Do not overextend chasing kills post-6 without Lulu's R available — Varus R into Senna W is a two-person chain CC that will kill you if you are caught without Lulu's R to knock you free.
Respect the Varus R range and always maintain enough distance that you can E away from his R landing zone.
