We’re excited to announce our newest product!

Our new Creme Foundation is formulated with our new exclusive Phytolipid Complex with  Organic Rosehip Oil, plus natural botanical antioxidants of Organic Green Tea and Natural Vitamin E Oil to moisturize and nourish your skin all day long while giving you a beautiful, flawless finish!

Our Creme is a medium to full coverage foundation that smooths on with a silky feel that leaves your skin feeling wonderfully moisturized and protected.

As with all our products, no chemicals, fillers, or toxic preservatives are used in the creation of our Creme Foundation.

All you get is natural, healthy beauty.

One of the first things people look at is your eyes.   With the right kind of colors, shades and shadow application, your eyes can become a beautiful ‘centerpiece’ for the face.

One of the keys to beautiful, long lasting eye color is to apply a base color.  This not only helps to set the eyeshadow colors so they last longer, but it also helps to create an even eyelid tone before adding color.  This step is most helpful for women who have deep set eyes or darker colors or shadowing on the lids.  The base powder should be very light in color, like natural eyeshadow Sunglow or Vanilla Creme in the Lauren Brooke Eyeshadow collection, in order to lighten darker lid coloring or shadowy areas.   These lighter colors will also create a larger, more open look to the eyes.

When applying, make sure to cover the whole lid area  – from the lashes to just under the brow, and from the inner area of the lid out to the edge of the eyebrow.

Bring beautiful color to your face with Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques’ new blush colour: Victorian Rose. 

Similar to the new Strawberry Parfait Cheek colour, this shade was developed for women with skin that tends to turn colors orange when applied.  This colour is a deeper mauve color than Strawberry Parfait and can be used on medium to medium-dark skin tones.

Add some cool holographic shimmer with the newest colour in Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques‘ Mystic Series.

Mystic Ice looks white in the jar, but when brushed on the eyelids, the color shifts from turquoise to blue and violet.   It works beautifully alone on darker skin tones or can be applied over darker contour colors for women with lighter skin tones as well.  Try applying with a wet Eyeliner Brush around your eyes for even more dramatic effects!

Looking for something new and fun this summer?

Try Lauren Brooke Eye Colour’s Mystic Line.  Use alone or over darker shades for a new and exciting look – especially in the summer sun!

Kendra is wearing ‘Sunglow’ Eye Base with ‘Eggplant’ as a contour color in the outer crease area.  For Eyeliner we used an Eyeliner brush and applied ‘Eggplant’ along the bottom of the eyelid and ‘Mystic Tawna’ above it, both wet, as Eyeliners.  To finish, we added Mystic Tawna over the entire eyelid for the color-shifting, holographic effect.

Our Mystic Series includes:

Mystic Amethyst (light purple)

Mystic Copper

Mystic Dawn (soft pink)

Mystic Gold

Mystic Tawna (peach to moonstone color shift)

Mineral Makeup can be quick and easy to apply, but sometimes too much powder can get into the top of the jar and spill, making it hard to control.

Here’s a quick tip to help manage the mess:

1) When you first open the jar, keep the sifter sticker on (If sticker has already been removed, clean the sifter and cover holes with a small strip of tape).

2) Get pin or thumbtack and push tip through several of the sifter holes.

3) To apply your makeup, turn the jar upside down (with the lid still on).  Tap it a few times on the counter to get a small amount through the holes.

When you open the lid there will be smaller, more manageable amounts in the lid to use.   If you want more powder to come out each time, simply add more holes!

We’re blushing pink at Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques!

Introducing our newest cheek colour shade:  Strawberry Parfait!

Soft, sweet, and blushing with color, we’ve added this shade for those who have lighter skin tones – especially those who seem to have trouble with colors turning orange on their skin.  Try it with us and start seeing Pink!  Samples available, just email and ask for a complimentary sample!

Puffs?  Is there something important about puffs?

Our answer is ‘Yes’.  Why?

Because Mineral makeup can cause respiratory problems, especially if it has Titanium Dioxide in it. On a scale of 0-10 with 10 being the most toxic, the Environmental Working Group has rated Titanium Dioxide up to a 6 in powder products because of studies showing negative respiratory and cardiovascular effects that can even turn carcinogenic when it is in products that can be inhaled.

Because of these dangerous side-effects, Lauren Brooke Cosmetique powders have been specifically formulated without Titanium Dioxide.  In addition, each Lauren Brooke Foundation and Facial Powder comes with a deluxe puff for easy application and to decrease the possibility of any powder inhalation while applying.  So you can be assured that any Lauren Brooke product will be healthy for your skin, your body, and your health!

Teenage girls are always interested in makeup. They want to be just like their mothers; wearing lipstick, eye shadow and mascara. In many cases, parents don’t allow their teenage daughters to wear makeup. They feel like makeup would make their little girls grow up too fast and attract older men (never a good combination.)

In reaching a compromise with their daughters, parents might consider letting their girls wear lip tint. Lip tints are not as bright as lipstick and don’t attract as much attention. These tints offer just a touch of subtle color to a girl’s face.

I have always been a natural-type of girl. This isn’t to say that I am a tomboy, I like girly things like dresses and high heels, but I have never worn much makeup. A little bit of lipstick every now and then is about as far as I go. But recently I have been more interested in learning to apply makeup.

My sister is the complete opposite of me. She has always worn a full face of makeup and she considers herself an expert in its application. So of course I went to her when I wanted to learn how to wear eye liner. She was very helpful. She taught me how to lightly apply the liner and how to smudge it in to my lashes. The technique she showed me really brings out my green eyes.
