Makeup tutorials

I hope you noticed that I added a video bar to my blog to show you some of the makeup tutorials by Lauren Luke and probably you are wondering WHO is Lauren and WHY I decided to showcase her videos.

Is she a makeup professional? – No, not at all. But she does not need to be one because she has a unique GIFT, a sense of Beauty, a talent for applying makeup. People globally recognize her natural talent – as of early 2009 her YouTube tutorials have been viewed more than 31 MILLION times during the past 3 years she’s been posting them! Though being an amateur, she is, possibly the most viewed makeup artist in the world.

But this is not WHY I like her. I adore her because she is genuine, open and passionate about what she likes, she has an amazing entrepreneurial spirit. She not only teaches us how to apply makeup but how to pursue our dreams and how not to be afraid of challenges. She was a single mom in a small British town with a “dead-end” job she hated when she decided to follow her calling – she quit the job and started to produce these amazing makeup tutorials from her bedroom. That was the beginning of her story and it is a story in the making, enfolding in front of our eyes, “in real time”: just in February this year she got a job with the Guardian newspaper to run their beauty column and end of April her own make up line will be launched. And she is only 27 years old!

Lauren is indeed an example for all of us. If you are interested in her story or if you just need an inspiration you can read more about Lauren Luke in U.K. Guardian newspaper: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/jan/30/lauren-luke-youtube-makeup

I am a follower of her tutorials and I will be brining you the best ones in this blog.
