Simple Glam Because Makeup Doesn't Have to be Complicated

[@Allison-jj1vq]

I get compliments on my eye makeup everyday because of your content. You have literally made an old lady prettier. 😊

[@victoriad3717]

Can I just say how REFRESHING and APPRECIATED it is that you don’t use blurring filters and zoom in and want to show how the product works even if it makes your pores visible. It means so much. Thank you! ❤

[@becominghumanagain]

Lauren I absolutely love you but I feel personally attacked every time someone uses the ethereal eyes palette lmao. I wanted it SO frigging bad

[@LaurenMaeBeauty]

Haha I’m sorry!!! I can’t believe they made it sooo limited edition!! Hopefully we get a random restock or a pt 2!!

[@Punksimmons]

I was able to find one on poshmark but it was way overpriced. I bought it but have not felt great about spending so much. 😑

[@becominghumanagain]

@@Punksimmons I looked it up after it was sold out and saw them for $300+ and could not justify it either. But at least you actually have your hands on it!

[@callmeskullz8069]

​@LaurenMaeBeauty would you consider duping the vibe?

[@callmeskullz8069]

Ive seen a few youtubers say the Doll 10 doll squad 2.0 is very close.

[@Sldejo]

I love simple makeup looks. Sunscreen, skincare, blush and bronzer that doubles as eyeshadow and Vaseline for lips. To the beach! 🏖️

[@LaurenMaeBeauty]

Yes!! This is all I want for Summer!!

[@lauriedomino3559]

I don’t touch up anything except sunscreen and lips! I have dry skin but live in Florida and bike to work. I feel like I look sweaty 100% of the time but nbd xD

[@aprillovesjulio]

Makeup is my happy place. That is my calm and creative time❤

[@megs_holland]

I am a "touch up" girl and have no problems pulling my make up bag out at my desk at work and checking my make up (usually after lunch so I can do a quick 'food in teeth' check also!).

[@LaurenMaeBeauty]

I am going to become a touch up girl!! Haha I am willing it to be!! 😊

[@samanthaizundu]

As an oily gal I never touch up I feel like adding makeup looks cakey by the end of the day, so I love a blotting paper. makeup stays put but oils are removed. She’s fresh and ready to continue with the day.

[@LEbackstage]

I too don't touch up and just use blotting paper. I use powder foundation that can look a little heavy the first hour or so, so I like how it looks throughout the day when the oils come through and it gets a little glowy, even tho I'm not into the super glowy look. It gives me a healthy glow.

[@monimonie7895]

same here, but I cant be even bothered to buy blotting papers, theyre expensive as heck, I just use normal tissue

[@moriganna67ify]

​​@@monimonie7895ou should try the ELF blotting papers. They work really well. Affordable too.😊

[@4booky831]

​@@monimonie7895I just use toilet paper 😂

[@brittany9233]

I really love these casual, chill sort of tutorial videos you put out sometimes, I love product reviews and sale recs and hauls as much as the next person but this was so nice to just munch some popcorn and hang out while you did a nice casual look. I love your channels Lauren, you're the kind of person I'd get coffee and talk for hours with about anything and everything.

[@angelaabright]

The QUEEN of shimmer eyeshadows 😍

[@caithenry8429]

Watching this while putting on my makeup was such a treat today! I'm with you on the no touch-ups. Unless its to put on more lip product. Even when I get super sweaty walking to work, I use a paper towel to blot off the sweat and then forget about anything else

[@lizzieholland7051]

your eyes always look so feline, even with a teeny wing. I absolutely love ittt

[@hillshounds]

Back in my younger years (I'm 60 now), I swore by those oil-blotting papers and occasionally pressed powder. I was very oily back then and wore a lot more makeup than I do now. The "glow" wasn't in style in the 80s/90s, at least where I lived; too bad since I had it naturally!

[@slm8088]

I can be so extra and I love the looks I create, but it is true that my simplest looks garner the most compliments. Thanks for the reminder. My mind is cleaner and more peaceful from watching this video!💖💝💗

[@kayla4702]

I hear you about using bronzer to not look "flat". I'm the same way, have been since hs. Also, I appreciate you talking through your techniques like of applying your foundation, angling your wing, etc. Thank you for sharing and hang in there. 😊❤

[@graceleathers5970]

I don’t really touch up, I’m oily and have a physical job so I usually blot with toilet roll and for me it’s the mascara smudge that I have to keep an eye on most. My most recent buys have been the NARS cream bronzer which I’m loving, and also the Fenty Diamond Bomb and also Pat McGrath mothership 1, can’t wait to try them!

[@anastasiacaamano479]

Hi Lauren, I have been following you and viewing your content for years now. I have really connected to your videos recently. I can totally relate to sometimes not being in the right mental health headspace without a reason. I can relate to not washing my brushes enough (even doing makeup with my hands after washing them ofc bc my brushes are so dirty). Thanks for being so vulnerable with your videos. I love how you aren’t decluttering for the sake of decluttering and are enjoying playing with a healthy abundance of products as well! Keep it up 💜

[@bridget663]

I've been a watcher for a long time. I have adhd and I see it in you, Lauren. It can severely impact your mental health. Women often present differently than we would typically think. Needing to be routine-oriented, having an out-of-sight, out-of-mind attitude, making "piles" of clutter, not being able to maintain organization even though you desperately want to, sensory issues...these are all symptoms of adhd in women. I really think you should look into it. It could be really, really eye opening. 💜

[@BreeBaker-fi5sp]

I have combo/oily skin - I touch up once in an 8-hour workday, on my lunch break. But if I have plans in the evening, I'd definitely have to touch up one additional time between work and going out. Love the lys pressed powder for touchups (:

[@allisonbb716]

I overthink absolutely everything so thanks for this!

[@Mollyjean2014]

Yes!

[@blendofdays]

Lauren I 1mil % relate to the mental health struggles out of nowhere! It's so annoying & I always feel it creeping in (like now) & I hate it! I noticed that phytosurgence eye shadow looks like the shade smoky pearl from your seatalk palette! That shade & dolphin tail are my absolute favs for when I'm feeling down & have to force myself to do makeup 🥹🫶

[@christywaldon1312]

I love how you did your wings, can’t wait to try it on my mature hooded eyes. ❤️ Love your look!

[@MsMdip]

I usted to have major oily skin and acné so I used copious amounts of rice paper sheets. I reapply lip balm, gloss or lipstick several times a day, and these days, as I'm 40+ and not as oily, I use refreshing spray. And when I go to the bathroom I wash My hands throughly, put on hands créam, pop in a mint or some gum, reapply lipstick and walk out refreshed.

[@jackivacha]

Great video honey! There’s something to be said for an easy going everyday look. ❤

[@FacesByGina]

"it's just so annoying [how it comes in waves/for no reason" I don't think I've ever heard a more deeply relatable statement about mental health struggles lol. I want everything to make sense and have clear causes and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes my brain flips a table just because it can. So yeah. I see you. I feel you. Lol

[@squeakyangel17]

I used to touch up 1-2 times a day bc I have oily skin. However, since I stated using Danessa Myrics yummy skin balm, I legit stay oil free all day at work. And I’m not even joking when I say that made holy grail status pretty immediately. When oils start coming through, it’s almost like a pretty dewy look as opposed to my face looking like an oil slick.

[@Punksimmons]

I really feel this! I have waves of difficult mental health with no real explanation why. In fact it’s often when everything is going well! So frustrating. Makeup and exercise are two big outlets for me. I rely on those routines to keep me grounded.

[@kamimiles4628]

I really want to try this foundation without any primers or SPF or anything! I feel because it has so much skincare in it it may look even more flawless without a primer!

[@kamimiles4628]

I literally am always sooooo jealous of how ethereal your eyes look and tbh the more simple ones are my fav! I always love how they just look so sheen and not like cheap glitter

[@sea_g0at]

for tiny eyeliner brushes i REALY recommend going to a craft store and picking up some tiny angled brushes. so inexpensive and precise. you could do a whole video using paint brushes tbh. so many of them are similar shapes to what we use for makeup. that’s a great video idea btw if that trick hasn’t already made the rounds on tiktok i bet you could start it. you’re welcome ;p jk but also seriously

[@blendofdays]

So true! Years ago I went to the craft aisle at Walmart because someone said Royal langnickel brushes are made by the same brand that makes Moda brushes & I couldn't believe how many amazing brushes I found for super cheap!

[@sea_g0at]

@@blendofdays dude fr. i have the tiniest little angled “liner“ brush that i adore. and a super thin flat one that works surprisingly well for my inner corner liner thing. fabulous. so many interesting shapes. OH and the delicate fan brushes. so good

[@yensid4294]

To answer your question, when I had oilier skin that got really shiny & made my makeup "turn" halfway thru the day, I definitely touched up. I carried blotting papers & usually had to reapply blush, powder & eyeshadow (which had usually faded and/or creased) I did not wear any liquid foundation in those days because it always looked bad after a couple hours. I usually touched up at lunch time in an 8 hour work day or 6 hour school day. The only makeup I carry in my purse now is a compact mirror, a clear lipbalm & whatever lip products I applied originally that day.

[@aprillovesjulio]

Also, once I apply my makeup, I truly dont want to mess with it again except lip. I also, dont go out often and not for long periods of time.

[@MoonlitSunflower]

For basic but beautiful eye looks I've been loving sparkling and simmering by lorac. I also really love Warm Wishes from Sigma. I didn't love Lorac's formula in the past but those 2 little palettes are so good. It's tempted me to want Nor, Soleil and Fairytale forest but I'm trying to rein it it a bit. Lol. I remembered how much you recommended the new Lorac palettes and I finally tried them. I love them so much.

[@LovetoLearn16]

Girl I’m right there with you on the mental health struggle bus! It gets better and then I slowly start slipping downhill again and the cycle repeats. I really appreciate your vulnerability, it reminds me that I’m not alone ❤

[@jenniferrhoads3322]

Touch up girlie here. I work from 8am to 5pm and I touch up at work about 2 times, sometimes 3 times if I'm more oily. I'll either blot with a tissue and then powder or just powder.

[@jolanda.c]

This is what I kind of do daily. Love the combo of naked basics 2 and Charlotte Tilbury Oyster Pearl on me. MAC lightscaped in the innercorner and browbone; done. Easy and sophisticated for work.

[@leahlivingstone8013]

Love your explanation of the best use for the Makeup by Mario palette. VERY helpful!

[@erinsirohi5631]

Lol, a chonker of a wing.. brilliant idea to do the wings after the mascara!

[@amydearing9866]

I've said it once and I'll say it again...your make up techniques and looks are the best on the internet.

[@TaylorOwen]

Watching this while I do my makeup and I used the Delphine Rose Inc blush too!!!! Love their cream blushes. Delphine is perfect for summer… it’s like a blush and bronzer in one.

[@michelledeboer8834]

Love the color of your nails love the pop of color. You look beautiful.

[@prittyflutterbystar]

I do too! Great summer color!💚🌞💅

[@LaurenMaeBeauty]

Thank you!! 😊❤️

[@TheJordandean]

As a dry skinned gal I never touch up anything but my lips occasionally with a tinted balm. But when I was oily in my younger years I’d touch up with powder 1-2x a day lightly.

[@PersonaCosmetics]

Cool Brown actually looks so good on you! 💗

[@sandragreenberg6010]

Just stunning! This is one of my favorite looks that I’m excited to try when I feel better. Had my gallbladder out last week and have been totally exhausted. Your video was a breath of fresh air! If you feel down , just think about how much joy you give to us. Thanks Lauren

[@igapawlak9273]

This is exactly a wing/line I want to learn! That BK Beauty brush looks so perfect for it, all angled brushes I have are quite big for my eye..thanks Lauren!

[@tifc6371]

I blot and touch up one or 2 times a day. I keep a make up bag to work with bare essentials. Weekends i just blot with a tissue if im out and about I always redo lips at some point lol😅

[@KosmicN.]

Hey girl, can you do that color wheel thing with the dark reddish brown to make your blue eyes pop?

[@faithbaney]

I really love that Mario palette too but the shimmer fall out terribly during the day. I recently started using a brush to apply them with a little setting spray (which I never do) ans it works super well!

[@Nicolee1973]

You be on the cover of a magazine with this look! Gorg!!👍

[@victoriarose466]

You are just such a beautiful person! Your looks are always a slam dunk!

[@Aquarillis]

Lauren, you brought up not wanting to talk about mental health today in a way that hit home. I have had a similar experiences with deeper feelings in my life, too. You never need a reason to feel the way you do. You do not need to justify having emotions to anyone, ever. When those strange moments hit you and you don't feel your best, that is perfectly okay! Just allow those emotions to exist with you like a good friend who came over for a quiet cup of coffee. You're both just sitting there together, allowing what happens to happen, without fighting to get your friend out the door. They will leave when the time comes, and that is something to keep in mind when those strange times pop up. Your feelings will turn over into new ones, be they "good" or "bad" to you. How you feel, at any point in time, is temporary. Sometimes those moments linger and will stick with you for days, even weeks. Sometimes, the emotions feel so big and so intimidating that the most you can do is just ride them out. But they do change! Keep staying strong and fight through those tougher times when things feel confusing or overwhelming! You are beautiful no matter what those feelings tell you on any given day. Keep up your amazing work!

[@alicepirola7077]

Totally feel this.

[@joyousenoful]

I try to brush my teeth after lunch at work so I bring my makeup bag with me. I mostly check to eyeliner bleeding under my eyes which happens a lot. Then a touch of lipstick and some hand cream.

[@mycatisjudgingyou]

I'm a dry girlie but I recently went to the Middle East and it was HOT so I was a sweaty mess! I used blotting sheets just to take off some of the oil and they were a life saver

[@juliemorris6916]

Your videos are my happy place 😂 ❤❤❤

[@ironicallyfit518]

I touch up with an oil sheet and elf prime and stay pressed powder and gloss😊

[@LaurenMaeBeauty]

Omg oil sheets!! Lol I kinda forgot about those!! Definitely need to add some to my purse!! That way I don’t always have to keep powdering!!

[@ninakoydl]

This is beautiful makeup look! You have such a pretty face so everything looks good on you. 😀 I also like your colorful makeup! Greetings from Croatia!

[@zenmaster9195]

I usually check my makeup throughout the day, but I will touch up once after lunch. Sop up the oil on my nose with a tissue, and toss a little powder on. That will get me til 5 when I leave. But yeah, just once. 😊

[@belindah6554]

I have an oily t zone, l generally would only expect to touch up once (maybe twice) mid way through a standard day. Anything more & I'd question my products or combination of products I've used ❤

[@teresacapozzoli1822]

This is beautiful on you! Your makeup always looks so beautiful! Loved this video

[@heatherwalsh7036]

I'm totally with you on loving a mini eyeshadow wing lately! ❤

[@tonyasullivan1164]

Cream blush and studying it with a powder bronzer because it is the same aesthetic and almost an ombre to the blush it's beautiful you should try it sometime it looks really nice not only does its touch everything down and give you great bronze but it never gets patchy I really like the sigma one with the Milani powder

[@marylove909]

This is a beautiful look! It's my favorite type of look. Lauren is the Queen of Sparkles with her eye looks!

[@becm963]

I didn’t buy the Make Up by Mario palette because it didn’t technically receive amazing reviews from influencers. The toppers were so similar and the mattes were not amazing. Thus, it was overpriced. Are the toppers similar to the Lorac Noir? How about UD 24/7 moondust in lithium? I liked the concept of the palette. It is so pretty and I love the color scheme.

[@tonyasullivan1164]

Touch up my blush usually if I take a nap and have something to do after

[@tonidavie3635]

Love your videos. Still working on my glowy skin routine but enjoying the makeup journey.

[@brynnsims7030]

Hi Lauren. I have really enjoyed your content and makeup style. I find it unique. I don’t touch up often and I’m an oily girlie. I use blotting papers in the car sometimes. Those are great. Only touch up when I have meetings with people I want to impress or special occasions. ❤

[@tonyasullivan1164]

Honestly my big makeup always wears best when I just do my under eyes little bit of brightening a little bit of cream blush set it was a powder bronzer

[@user-bt5dn6iu5o2]

Oooh so excited to watch this one 💜

[@LaurenMaeBeauty]

😊😊😊

[@MoonlitSunflower]

I never touch up and I don't want to. But I don't wear any base makeup either.

[@Mollyjean2014]

I’m an oily gal too. I use Estée Lauder’s Double Wear and I still have to blot and touch up several times a day, especially in the Summer months.

[@veronikagreen17]

I never touch up, my skin is oily but i feel like if i add powder it looks worse and cakey. I usually blot a bit with a tissue if i have to but not often to be honest

[@rebeccalightfoot6753]

Brows are my least favorite too. Something I have to get through for my makeup to look cohesive. I love watching you videos, even though I am a cool toned brunette so I don't wear the same colors, but love watching for the technique.

[@reneecampbell867]

I am pretty oily so I touch up every 2 hours at work. I use blotting papers mostly but if I need to be re-blurred I will use the Kosas powder as well.

[@angelaueckerman9999]

I love that rose inc Delphine blush too, that shade came in a Sephora all clean bundle that I got for the mascara tbh but now I want more shades of that and love the warm neutral shade almost blonzer vibe.. obsessed w bronzer but have gotten away with just that blush before!

[@makeupAdri69]

Hey Lauren, Oily girl with fair skin here. I put my makeup on around 8 am and take off at 7pm- I will have to touch up at least 2 times during the day.

[@vilde9379]

I check on my mascara (because A LOT of them tend to smugde on my undereyes.. so annoying) and sometimes I then touch up with some concealer and power. Some eyeshadows can crease on me if its humid or have been a really long day, so I might blend out a crease with my fingers. Lips also obviously. Other than maybe some fading, I expect the rest of mymakeup to hold up for at least 8-10 hours. I will touch up more if I am fx going out after a long day at work. If I have time, I prefer to wash it off and re-apply instead of just touching up in that scenario.

[@paulawilhite7476]

Lauren, beautiful look! Loved this video!!

[@szpirita]

Gorgeous look! Especially for summer. I feel so inspired lately by your soft winged liners.

[@bitterswtmocha149]

2:15 I have oily/combo skin and I definitely don’t touch up. I’ll reapply a sunscreen powder, and I’ll reapply a swipe-and-go lip product (without a mirror) only…otherwise nothing.

[@angelaglasscock8721]

Hi! I usually blot once or twice with tissue or toilet paper. Occasionally I may powder. I usually use my lipstick or gloss in the morning then add lipbalm for the rest of the day. I'm a teacher so I don't have time for anything high maintenance.

[@tashakayatsky]

I have suuuch oily skin. For me if my eye makeup breaks up I don't really care, but if I have acne I usually need to bring my concealer into the bathroom about 2x sometimes. It's super annoying!

[@sarahmisseslouie]

Loveeee this video and this look Lauren !!!

[@RaniaMich]

Im sooo oily (although moisturiser and retinol helped control that) and i never touch up. At most i check my undereyes because mascara tends to smudge there if i don't powder thoroughly (its always smudgeproof and waterproof but still). And then there's the lip situation where i forget that i can just reapply🎉

[@Mollyjean2014]

I have yet to find a mascara that doesn’t smudge under my eyes and I don’t even use mascara on my bottom lashes. How does that happen?!

[@RaniaMich]

@@Mollyjean2014 if only i knew! I use badgal bang the most and it's the only one that works after also powdering under my eyes... 😬

I love how you do your eyes and you have such nice eyelids for eyeshadow lol. I often checkout lids for space and what not. I guess I consider eyelids a canvas for art 😂

[@Julzableful]

I'm oily/combo and I bring my concealer and lipstick with me pretty much everywhere. I try not to touch up too much these days, but sometimes I just need a little something under my eyes or on my chin because I end up wiping it away.

[@annihilxte]

You’re so freaking pretty, Lauren! I love mixing and matching foundations as well. I have dry skin and my Make Up For Ever HD Skin foundation is just a little too thick and matte for me, but today I mixed it with the Maybelline Dewy and Smooth foundation which is normally just too slippy and slidey on its own. Together they created such a pretty satin finish and it looked amazing! Btw I love your nails, that chartreuse color you’ve been into is seriously so pretty and perfect for summer! And omg I ordered Game Over from SBSD because of you. SO excited to get it! Thank you for sharing this little makeup routine ❤ you always look so fresh faced and amazing!

I feel you on some days not wanting to use your fingers, just that sticky feeling can be over overstimulating for me

[@allarab2612]

I’m an oily girl and I touch up once a day if I go to the bathroom and I notice my oils (usually around midday/early afternoon) but I don’t bring product to work. I literally blot with some toilet paper and maybe dab my ring finger under my eyes to smooth any creasing and that’s it

[@hayleypflug7384]

I have dry skin, but depending on the time of year, I can get pretty oily/sweaty at work. I blot my fave with a piece of toilet paper, touch up my lip color, and go back to work lol

[@Bnsmity]

Idk if this counts as touching up but a few times throughout the day I check my smile lines to see if they’ve creased and if so I just rub them out. As far as reapplying or adding powder throughout the day I don’t do that. I thought I needed to be that person in a past life because people used to always point out “oh this is great to carry in your purse” but turns out I don’t need to do that.
