Lauren Conrad On Her Best and Worst 2000s Makeup Looks | Cosmopolitan

[@tigerlily0988]

She looks way way better in all of these photos than about 90% of my looks at that age. I remember watching Laguna Beach and thinking immediately how she reminded me of all the “cool girls” at my school.

[@Wandery]

Dude I wanted to be LC so bad in high school...winged eyeliner, pearl necklaces, and headbands!

[@nintendad1166]

Nothing quite as depressing as a woman saying dude.

[@Wandery]

[@desireefrancine]

yess same here! i aways wore heavy eyeliner and lipgloss because of her, pearl necklaces and mini handbags. she was a huge influence on me in high school

[@lunalove9395]

And the braided bangs!

[@jenfehr1]

Her voice and the way she speaks sounds so different then I remember. But still so beautiful!

[@psahota9306]

I feel like it's less raspy..

[@ceceliamaryn]

She's commented on it before. She said moving to LA ruined her voice because she was in a lot of loud places. She said there were polyps all over her vocal chords. If you google it you'll find it.

[@meganpearl914]

CrimesAndCosmetics wait so her voice now is how it would’ve sounded if she didn’t move to LA?

[@JH18825]

I was thinking the same thing. She sounds SO different

[@kkittycatkat1990]

Totally! She often had a 'I'm going to lose my voice at any minute due to laryngitis. Honestly, I think it was yelling at the clubs almost every night. Hard to talk over so much music and other people talking. Even without that, her voice had changed more than anyones.

[@thewholeshubang]

She's the most grounded human that was ever on MTV

[@alyssadana5011]

I kno she’s so amazing lol

[@pn504]

Are u kidding me? She is a snob.

[@jtrujillo1985]

True but I'm wondering if she was sick here. ..she looks sick & sounds like shes getting over a cold. She got too skinny I think, if not sick, 3 (or more, whatevers comfy for her but def more) more pounds & I'd feel like she looked healthier. I'm used to the bubbly-cheeked Lauren Conrad look. I'll accept the change tho, just surprised me a bit I think

[@melissarose1814]

She may be grounded but she was extremely judgmental

[@jtrujillo1985]

@@melissarose1814 true but when your young you dont really notice that

[@jenaumorgan]

She sounds so different now! It's crazy, we're in our 30s. How did time fly so quickly 😫

[@sweetlildevil7597]

You guys make 30s sound sooooo old. I admit, 40s are going to sting, but I don't feel like we're old YET so can we please enjoy it your few more years? LOL

[@jamesprovost2602]

Facts

[@madeleiner4865]

I don;t understand the completely different voice- this always throws me OFF.

[@divadream]

Lauren says it was from all the second-hand smoke in the clubs as well as hangovers

[@jasmynita]

​She had surgery on her vocal chords due to it being so loud in LA during filming the hills, she kept losing her voice i.e. the raspy voiced Lauren from LB and the Hills. ​@@madeleiner4865

[@melmar2515]

I feel like the thinner eyebrows suited her better. Idk why. Just looked good. She's always beautiful! Love you Lauren :)

[@Ellie-es4ms]

Mel Mar I agree with you, thick eyebrows make her look harsh and not feminine. I’m not sure why her voice is very different.

[@alysoncoleman5748]

Some women just rock those thin eyebrows!😊

[@precious4641]

I agree! I dont mind a fuller eye brow but its definitely not for everyone!! She looks better with a thin brow.

[@joannehills140]

I know its the style now these thick eyebrows..but yes certain ppl look so much better with the 90s/2000s eyebrows. Lauren, Whitney and Sarah Michelle Gellar are a few that I couldnt work out why they looked so different. Then realised its the eyebrows. And they suit the side parting which isnt in fashion anymore.

[@shawnclark2550]

@@precious4641 I agree. The thinner eyebrows even though they're plucked, give a younger, more elegant look. The current trend for thick, unnaturally rectangular slanted brows makes for a harsh, almost, angry look. Brows aren't naturally squared. She's still gorgeous though. 🙂

[@JannaBridges]

She’s still one of my biggest obsessions, she seems like the sweetest thing ever, will always be one of my biggest idols. Such a beauty in and out.

[@brennaanderson4591]

She and Carrie underwood are my biggest idols

[@carnationcorsages]

wish lauren would return get like a netflix series about her current career and friends but i'm sure she would not want that

[@milenajimenez2]

same here! I miss her

[@alyssadana5011]

Same

[@gabrielatoneloto6643]

c she actually tried that before but people were obsessed with Jersey shore and the show was DOA. I stopped watching The Hills when she was gone and she went after a life without cameras on her face. She made her money and she moved on. The classiest woman on reality TV of all times

[@AnimeGirl8792]

She a true lady moving away from reality tv so I appreciate her more as a person.

[@VenusianTaureau]

c I’ve watched the reboot of The Hills and it’s not terrible but everyone from the original show isn’t there so it’s honestly not quite the same. I’m happy LC moved on with her life and has a great career and beautiful family!

[@CherishArtist]

The woman that introduced me to winged eyeliner. Love you Lauren! Style ICON ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@judithreyes9725]

Yes!! I remember her in a video on how to do the perfect wing when she had her clothing line at Kohl’s

[@ingridrudorfer5714]

Am I the only one who liked her thin eyebrows? Looks super cute 🙌🏻

[@shaylah7389]

I did.

[@amandalemos310]

Yes ! Thinner eyebrows look better on her imo

[@haute03]

I really do hope the 2000s makeup trends come back. I'm very over the massive amounts of contouring and huge block eyebrow look.

[@susana01992]

Same here I'm only 28 and I don't know how to do make up I just be winging it lol

[@meganpearl914]

I still wear the 2000s makeup looks 😊. I love them

[@AnimeGirl8792]

90s makeup been back so less contour and enhance your natural face I mean 90s is very close to 2000 so hopefully they have it own comeback

[@CremeInYourCoffee08]

[@jessicadefoore2085]

Am I the only one who wanted to push her hair back off her face? Like she’s so pretty why hide behind all that hair??

[@jennahancock56]

If I had her face I'd have my hair up everyday lol

[@lulaenparis]

Yes

[@amywardell5843]

It was super distracting to me too!

[@malloryg4251]

Yes! It was kind of distracting and I wanted to see more of her face. She has a great jawline

[@malloryg4251]

@Stupid white girl Girl.......that is so incredibly rude and not even true. I'm assuming you're really young to write something like that, so just remember- one day you'll be "older" and I'm sure you won't want people telling you that you look wrinkly. Hopefully you'll mature one day.

[@nikkis7375]

Gah love her. I just binged laguna beach again and her voice is so different now! (Obviously since she was 17/18 years old then lol)

[@KMcK-YYZ]

I totally thought the same thing! Voice is totally different.

[@unbreakable_kimmy]

You need to listen to the podcast Laguna Biotch!!! So so good!

[@Stephanieb19]

I’ve always liked Lauren the best and Whitney! Her winged eyeliner is what I remember the most about Lauren. She was probably one of the first to make it as popular as it is today.

[@nightsky6413]

She's so hard on herself. She was gorgeous and someone most of us strived to look like. She looks more beautiful with thinner brows. Thick brows don't suit everyone.

[@MakeUpByBar]

Will forever be my favourite reality star ever!!!! She is a star on her own now, regardless of Reality tv! I want the Laguna beach-the hills days back!!!!!!! I hate 2020 and all the shows and “starts”... I want early 2000 back!!!

[@nialante2848]

She honestly looked great in every photo!

[@buffyslayer8023]

Right? I don’t see a flaw in any of them. I think we are our own worse critic when looking at ourselves.

Megan Pearl it looks good? Seriously 😐

[@CamilaSaurus]

Agreed, it looks so weird

[@user-ci6ej6oh9d]

I think her right has always gone up higher than the left (2:05) but getting even a little botox as she got older would definitely make it appear higher relaxing the other muscles around it too!

[@rydbthatsme]

She’s my favorite reality star probably ever! She could get slightly messy BUT still stayed grounded and the most normal.

[@lordsebastian267]

Classic Iconic LC but she can’t see that she has her mortified glasses on hehe 😂

[@Nicole_cherise]

LC is soo beautiful. Excited for her makeup line! To what she’s saying I think makeup trends change slower than clothes trends and that’s why you look back like “what was I thinking?”. The whole 2000s - plucked eyebrows, bronzer, gloss and rimmed liner. The 2010s trend was a beat face - sculpted brows, lashes, cat eye, contour, cut crease eyeshadow and liquid lipstick. 2020 is “no makeup” makeup - natural filled in brows, tinted moisturizer, tinted gloss, and fluttery lashes.

[@alyssadana5011]
