Product Description

‘I just love colour! I have always been excited by colourful make-up and the endless amount of different looks you can create with it. I love the way it can bring out the best in everyone.’

Lauren Luke is an internet phenomenon. Her make-up tutorials, filmed in her bedroom in South Shields near Newcastle, have attracted a staggering 36 million [and counting...] hits on YouTube.

Growing up, Lauren had a tough time at school and began experimenting with makeup to fit in. And so began a lifelong love affair with cosmetics and the art of transformation. One day she decided to share her passion with friends online and became a sensation.

The great thing about Lauren is she is just an ordinary 27 year old woman - but arm her with a glittery eye shadow and a shimmer lip-gloss and she can show you how to show off your best features or recreate Cheryl Cole or Leona Lewis' latest look in ten minutes flat. Everyone has bits they love about their face, and other parts they’d rather conceal, and Lauren will show you how to make the most of what you’ve got.

Just like sitting down with your best friend for a makeover session, Lauren’s book is brimming with fresh ideas and packed with insider beauty tips and tricks of the trade.

Review
'Lauren Luke is a sensation!' (Vanity Fair )

About the Author
Lauren uploaded her first video onto YouTube on 22nd July 2007. She had no idea that she would soon become the most viewed YouTube user in the UK, with her own newspaper column, a Nintendo game and even her own makeup range! Lauren hasn’t let her incredible success go to her head though, and she still lives with her 10-year-old son, Jordan, her mum, sister, twin teenage nieces and five highly affectionate dogs in their house in South Shields, Tyneside.

Beauty for the everyday girl
As soon as I ordered Lauren Luke's book I couldn't wait for it to come to my door, and it definitely did not disappoint, the inside is full of beautiful designs and pictures with simple and easy to follow make up tips. I very rarely wear make up, the most I ever wear is a bit of eyeliner and mascara (and that's only on special occasions!) But this book has encouraged me to try new and different things. I love the fact that Lauren talks you through every celebrity inspired makeup tutorial and shows the finished effect on her, you feel like you can achieve the look too and you don't have to be a "conventional" beauty to carry it off. I am looking forward to trying out the tutorial especially designed for pale skin. I really enjoyed Lauren's mini biography and I'm so glad that despite her troubles she finally achieved her American dream. I really hope Lauren continues to have success and hopefully she can change the beauty industry for the better.

I expected nothing less....
I've been looking forward to this book since I first heard that Lauren was producing one, having followed her on youtube for a while. It is a great book, with easy to follow looks and advice, and really makes me want to 'play' more with my make up and have fun, which is really what it should be about. I think all who have followed Lauren's amazing progress over the last year or so feel quite proud of her, and very connected with her, thanks to her warm personality and genuine pleasure in what she does. I will certainly be buying more of these as Christmas presents, well done Lauren!
