By Lauren Luke Make Up Kit Review
With two young boys I don’t have near enough time to devote to myself. Most mornings I am lucky if I can quickly apply even the most minimal of make up. I was recently introduced to a new make up kit by By Lauren Luke. First a little about the creator Lauren Luke:
Since I was a little girl I always wanted to dress up and wear pretty things. I wanted to make people happy, smile and laugh.
But, things were tough in school and I didn’t exactly fit in. I started to experiment with makeup to make myself feel better. I was drawn to makeup because I was in love with colour and all things vibrant. While it didn’t do much for helping me to fit in, it did start my love affair with this magical thing called makeup.
I learned how to recreate the looks I was seeing on celebrities and just on girls on the street. I heard about a video sharing website called YouTube and realized it would be really easy for me to start showing people what I was learning.
What happened next was something I never ever imagined. I uploaded my first video Sunday 22nd of July 2007 and the minute it went live I sat scared, trembling in my chair, wondering “will people see it” and “what will they say”? Well all I can say is on that day I must have been the luckiest girl alive because I was soon flooded with huge amounts of views and comments, and best of all, I felt like I was making a connection with other girls out there like me, regular girls.
After finishing a makeup tutorial video, I have the best feeling ever. My most memorable parts throughout the past two years have been hearing from the people who I have spoken to and inspired.
I always dreamed of having my own makeup line where I could develop products that made people feel special – that I myself would be over the moon to wear. The excitement that comes from makeup is something very personal. We all have our own reasons for being so excited by it, mine is definitely because of the colour and the fact it can bring out the best in everyone. We are all doing the same thing with makeup but with our own personal edge.
I went into this with something very specific in mind – a great product that works, at an affordable price that will help you embrace color and experiment more.
My hope is that you will be waiting at the letterbox for your package about to chew the postman’s hand off with excitement just like I always am.
What is it? By Lauren Luke’s makeup collection has five distinct, full-face makeup palettes each with three eye shadows, an eye primer, two lipsticks, a blush and, of course, the perfect black eyeliner. Lauren hand-picked all of the color themed palettes to ensure that each offers a full range of versatile looks- from day to night, classic or funky or something a little more sexy to sweet.
Each kit comes complete with video tutorials demonstrating exactly how to make the most of each kit. Lauren personally gives step-to-step tutorials for all the different looks available from each palette.
The five kits are: My Smokey Classics, My Vintage Glams, My Fierce Violets, My Sultry Blues, and My Luscious Greens.
I chose My Smokey Classics.
My Smokey Classics, for every look from a day at work or school to a night on the townShadow Primer / Nude Slip Dark
Shadow Primer / Nude Slip Light
Eye Shadow / Antique Pewter
Blush / Peach Glow
Eye Liner / Raven Black
Eye Shadow / Twilight Ash
Eye Shadow / Cashmere Cream
Lip Color /Plumberry
Lip Color / Cranberry Stain
My Take: OK I will admit, I didn’t even know a thing as shadow primer existed before I received this kit. The video tutorial for My Smokey Classics is adorable and informative. Lauren literally shows you step by step how to apply this make up (click here to view) and the colors are awesome! What a great kit!
Each kit retails for $32.50 and is available at By Lauren Luke and is available at Sephora locations.
