Do u know who Lauren Luke is? Well you should!

If you have watched any makeup tutorials on youtube, then you for sure have seen one by Lauren Luke! She's amazing, talented, and makes everyone feel like they can be an artist! And has a cute little "signing off phrase," "zoom-zoom" So Cute!!
In addition to creating her own amazing looks, she takes celebrity looks and makes them easy for everyone to recreate at home!
Thanks to her talent, realness, and use of social media, she now has an exclusive makeup line being sold at Sephora!
A lesson that we can learn from Lauren, is the power of social media. She is someone who loves makeup and just wanted to teach people how to use it! She makes makeup fun!
So, lessons that we can learn from Lauren when using social media:
1. Be yourself, she does not pretend to be something she is not, she is completely herself. She talks about her day, and really connects with her audience, because there is a good chance that you have felt the same way she has.
2. She's talented, Lauren, showcases her talent as a makeup artist when she creates her looks. If she wasn't any good, then she wouldn't have gotten as many views as she does, and nor would she have gotten her own makeup line. So, if you want to use a social media site, make sure your doing your best and that you are showcasing your talents.
3. Listen to the people who are watching/reading you. Many of Lauren's looks are from a viewer request. She does her best to read the comments, and work from them. What would have happened if she didn't read her viewer comments? And didn't respond to them? People probably would have stopped watching.

The exposure that she was able to get from youtube, opened doors! and look at her now!! If we all used social media like she did, think of what we could do!

Check her line out!

Prep, Apply, Finish!

I want to discuss how three simple steps can help you achieve both flawless makeup that lasts all day, and a flawless event that you can organize.

First some background information.

For school this past semester one of my courses was Event Management. We were split into groups and told to work together as a team to put on an event. Our event could be anything, we had very few restrictions. It just had to be appropriate for our teacher to attend and mark! My team, Pulse Communications, (yes we named ourselves!) decided to organize an event that focused on heart healthy eating! Our event was named Bringing Healthy Back. We were lucky enough to work with the Queens Quay Loblaws, and put on a very successful event.

The event was a great learning experience. There were many things to learn during the planning and execution of the event. I want to share with you three steps that will help you achieve both flawless makeup and a flawless event.

Prime, Apply, and Finish!

Step 1: Prep

When makeup artists prep the skin, they use a primer that creates a smooth canvass for foundation to sit on; it fills in any fine lines, and helps to make sure foundation lasts all day. The prep for your event is the planning before the event. If you prepare before it will create a smooth foundation for your event to run on. You will be able to fill in any fine lines, or details, that could cause your event to not run smoothly. If you prep there is a very good chance that your event will be a success, and as an added bonus your makeup will look flawless too!

Step 2: Application

In makeup this is the step where you apply your eye shadow, liners, mascara, foundation and blush. It is where all the colour application takes place. When planning an event, think of the application as the event roll-out. Being organized, using the right tools to achieve your object, are both important aspects to achieve both a successful event and flawless face.

Step 3: Finish

The finishing step makes all the difference. With your cosmetics, its important to use a finishing powder or spray in order to set your makeup, and make sure it lasts all day long. This can make all the difference between having your foundation melting off your face, or staying put so you continually look glamorous. In terms of an event the Finish, includes the finishing touches you add to the event. Just like with makeup, the finishing touches can make a world of difference with your event. Little details make a big difference, whether it is the decorations, music or venue.

If you remember these three steps! Prep, Apply and Finish! You will get both the flawless makeup and event of your dreams!
