If you know makeup, then you probably know Lauren Luke. And if you don't know, let us tell the story, because it's a great one.
The lonely, young British woman who swears she had no friends, shot to super stardom last year on YouTube. Lauren Luke made makeup tutorials, using her own pretty face as a guide, and instantly gained more than 56 million views by 2009. And now she has her own official site and a line of makeup kits sold exclusively at Sephora stores here in the United States. You can also purchase her line here.
And this morning, Lauren Luke's popularity went up another ton of digits with an appearance on the 'Today Show.' She showed host Meredith Viera, how to create the look every woman asks her for----the smoky eye. This time, Lauren demonstrated her marvelous makeup skills on a model. Her beauty tips today: Use a primer before applying eye shadow, so it glides on smoother and stays put. A smokey eye is sexy, Lauren adds. You can go lighter with the smokey eye for daytime and then build it up with stronger color for evening.
You can try Lauren Luke's My Smokey Classics kit ($32.50). This is what you get inside:
Shadow Primer / Nude Slip DarkShadow Primer / Nude Slip LightEye Shadow / Antique PewterBlush / Peach GlowEye Liner / Raven BlackEye Shadow / Twilight AshEye Shadow / Cashmere CreamLip Color / PlumberryLip Color / Cranberry Stain.
Lauren Luke is a 27-year-old single mom who started 'vlogging' while her son was at school. And the rest is history, as they say. To check out Lauren Luke in makeup action, just visit her YouTube site. She's got a friendly, sincere manner with a charming British accent.
Here are Lauren's reasons for showing the world her makeup tutorials:
"I am very proud of myself considering my average size for a women it is very hard to get this much notice. I want to make a huge change to the beauty industry and with all of your help through YouTube I hopefully will be able to do so.
Lets show the world together that everyone is just as beautiful if not more with just the confidence we hold.I dont know about you but I know I have had enough of being made to feel inadequate by today's beauty standards.

It was so great to see Lauren Luke on the Today Show! Her smokey eye look is my absolute favorite. I even bought the By Lauren Luke My Smokey Classics palette and I use it all the time. It's super easy to get the look by following her tutorials on YouTube!
ReplyDeleteIts so lovely to see a sweet young woman like Lauren Luke on such a wonderful road. Seeing her on the Today Show was by far a wonderful sight. I find Lauren to be a great story to share with other girls in the world since it proves that small acts of joy can turn into something big. And Lauren just seems like a girl who deserves greatness. I love her tutorials and fun personality! She makes makeup a fun activity rather then a way of just being pretty. Yay Lauren!
