Finding the right Eyeliner
Ever wondered if you’re wearing the right type of eyeliner? We have found that different skin types require different eyeliners.
Here’s how to find out what will work best for you:
If you tend to have skin that is more oily around the eyes or your liquid or cream eyeliner tends to ‘melt’ during the day and leave you with ‘racoon eyes’, a natural Powder Eyeliner will work best for you. The liner can be applied with a wet or dry eyeliner brush, which quickly dries to create a nice lined look without the extra oils. This helps to keep it in place all day.
If you have drier skin around your eyes, or if you are using a powder liner and finding it doesn’t stay on well or flakes off during the day, use a natural Eyeliner Pencil. The oils from the pencil will help the color adhere to drier skin longer, and will help it stay put all day long.
Applying Cheek Colour
One great tip for beautiful cheeks is to lightly brush over your blush color with a small amount of natural Foundation or Finishing Powder. This creates a smooth, blended look and helps to avoid showing any lines, streaks or darker areas created while applying.
Sweet Cheeks

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.

Help for Acne-prone skin
As an esthetician, I have met many, many women who struggle with acne problems – even middle-aged women who never had acne as teenagers!
Blemished skin can be difficult and have devastating effects on self-esteem. I have noticed with my own experience as well as with other women that changing from chemical-laden makeup and skin care products to using more natural and organic products can help tremendously with long-term skin health.
I just received a testimonial from a customer and wanted to pass along her experience with Lauren Brooke Foundation for those who are looking for a foundation that is natural and gentle with acne-prone skin:
Dear Lauren,
I wanted to tell you how much I love your foundation! It seems to be the only makeup I’ve tried (and I’ve tried A LOT) that doesn’t aggravate my acne. Thanks so much for your help.
