If you haven't heard of Lauren Luke, you have been probably living under a rock. She is the amazing youtube beauty guru, who shows how to create awesome beauty looks (such as Effy of Skins' makeup)in videos that are generally under 15 minutes. Not only does she have that going on, she has her own makeup line, By Lauren Luke, which Sephora just started carrying! I especially think she's great because she has done all of this while having Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), which I also have. One in ten women have PCOS, but many go undiagnosed. It comes with a ton of yucky side effects ( a greater risk for diabetes, acne, possible infertility, depression, general badness), and sometimes it can really feel isolating. It is a real confidence-sucker, and I know from experience that it can be hard to feel attractive or likeable when you body seems to be rebelling. In spite of this, she puts her youtube videos up, teaching us mere mortals beauty tricks, which in turn bring confidence (how can you not feel fabulous knowing that your makeup is the same as Anne Hathaway's red carpet Oscar look?). If you haven't already, check her videos out.
