[Kutiepie3003]

Whenever I do smoky eye, it always ends up looking like a black eye. I have a party to go to tonight and I really wanna do this look, what should I do?

[RBreezy5]

[yubacity61]

Love it! You make it look so easy!

[Bondu3]

[bouncyball7890]

I love your makeup tutorials te most on all of youtube. Idk why, probably because you do such unique styles of makeup like bringing the eyeshadows to the brow bone with bright popping colors. Love your tutorialzz!!! Your great at them!!!!

[islandgirl76]

Lauren- you are extremely talented and I am inspired by all your videos. I am amazed that even using your FINGERS, you still blend flawlessly, wheras if I attempted that, I would look like a racoon : ).  Keep the tutorials coming!

[usatrackfeene400]

You're so pretty!!! : ) Love all your tutorials!!!  Great instructions and beautiful colors/ideas!! Thank you for sharing.

[willow0rn]

Oh my gosh girl!!! thank you so much for your help!!! I dont know a darn thing about ALL of the products out there or how to best use them!!! you ROCK!!!!

[MulataLinda8]

How do those sugarpill eyeshadows compare to the Makeup Forever??? l

[2042664]

i love the pictures at the end, they look awesome

[Kelli01234]

Do you use nyx white shadow base and beijing-shadestick because of your complexion or just so the end result will be matte?

[ClubPenguinBlussie]

Wow you looked awesome at the end the eyeshadow was so pretty

[Lareejue07]

u look like brittanya

[nommo4life]

Do you have any brands that you love that are paraben free or natural?

[DeathlyStrange]

I looove your videos. =]

[blackcoco2]

I think you should get some people to volunteer you doing makeup on them,because I think your makeup only works for people who have those PERFECTLY arched eyebrows, and so far, you're the only person I've seen. So try and see if you can do the same style makeup on someone without much of an arch.

[MayaTenae]

Whoa, I love your nails. Are those stickers? Where can i find them?

[Hotselia]

are you a makeup artist?

[bdeannar]

what colors do you think would go best with white?



[MakeupConnoisseur11]

BEAUTIFUL! 

[rere1love]

let me just say that I am new to your chanel and I live it your blending is beautiful im sold I am now a new subbie

[aabnc1]

[hersinkingheart2007]

[chocoswurll]

I do not know how you do it , I fail at putting eye liner on.

[whochick]

You're really talented, thanks for sharing the tips :)

[MacBeautyMUA]

@QueenofBlendingMUA what camera do you use to video tape and take pictures just curious because there so clear and pretty.i sooo love this look!! ( :

[ArvallParrot]

You Are So Pretty, Not To Mention You're Crazy Talented As Well :)

[Usagibunnneh]

I really like these colours together, but on myself I'd never let the colour get that high on my eye. It looks alright on darker skintones, but on my eyes I think i'd just look clownish.

[curlideva]

Love it love it love it!!!

[VErOartista]

ur so beautiful!!! i love ur tropical smokey look

[larengalexus]

I lovelovelove this look!!!

[jwbankus]

CIAO! very nice make up!

i' m italian, so sorry for my bad english! :)

i want to ask you if you have problems to find a foundation ... i have a colour's skin similar to your's one ( maiby less dark) but the foundation is always more right for white skin ! suggestes?

[XxNoOrdinaryStarxX]

Lauren, this is BEAUTIFUL! *Saves to favorites* :)

[TheHeebieGeebie]

Great video! LOL re talking low because of people asking "who are you talking to" in the house. :OD

[awesomeone07]

Luv this look and all of the tutorials, I just got into doing my own makeup so I'm learning alot I hope to become as good as you someday. I would love to see you do your thing with other people of different skin tones, I am darker tone than yourself and have a hard time choosing a look that will enhance my skin tone. What do you think about doing tutorials on other people perhaps some of your clients?

[juicybarbie03]

d0 y0u d0 proms

[chanibabie]

I swear you have a super power against fallout!!!!

[MrsBossLady100]

Beautiful eyes and I love your calm no-nonsense tutorials. Keep the coming!

[nmart512]

Beautiful!

[nothighleftbehind]

Are your nails Minx'ed? they are awesome!

[QueenofBlendingMUA]

@nothighleftbehind no, they're these sticker deals that you can buy from sephora but I wouldn't buy it again, they come off too fast!

[blackpepperbbw]

I'm so hating on your gurl, you are to gorgeous for words!

[MrLeshuguita]

Youre really beautiful...i like when you smile...:D

[honeyhued08]

IDK what they are talking about, your voice soothes me!

[Goegoetje]

OMG this is awesome! im gonna try this :D

[kblack04]

lol ppl are dumb...its not even the same look as julie g's! plus i can understand the color scheme anyway because these are great colors for fall!

[dulce8corazon]

Fabulous!!

[CancerianCutie68]

You are so amazing with your makeup looks - I love the way they blend so well. I have to keep working on this - yours look so seamless - love it!

[red27roze]

You are really the Queen of blending :)

[fossiegirl]

Amazing look as usual! Thank you for the inspiration and the time it took you to make this tutorial! You are in my top 5 favorites makeup gurus! <3

[sniffi1001]

woooow beautiful work... and you are soooo adorable and always seem happy :)

[bhuvishavani]

gorgeous, the look is fab and u are excellent. xx

[karbari]

Great tutorial by the way :) Always glad to see you blending away. I'm also pleased that you force yourself to post videos because it's evident how much you HATE make up and doing tutorials on YOUTUBE for the likes of us! *wink*. People always think I'm mad because my face "rests" in a perpetual pout. I'm constantly having to tell people that I'm not depressed or suicidal, so I feel your pain!

[QueenofBlendingMUA]

@karbari hahahah yesss forcing myself almost into tears, just FIGHTING IT! :P I get that a lot too.."what's wrong? are you sad, mad, angry, what happend?"..and im like ummmm... nothing, my face. my face is what happened hahaha

[RicanStarz]

wow these colors look real nice on you. most would put white for brow highlight but you can really pull off the yellow with your complexion. love the look girly.

[LeesTWINsister]

love it! SPECIAL REQUEST: please do some fall smokey looks using some browns, orange, and dark red fall colors PLEASE thanks!

[marchelle011]

Who cares if she talks low, She explained it in the description if you care to read it. It's relaxing. I'd rather listen to a low voice than someone screaming in the camera!

[judithmilagro]

i love this look...but i have a??? well not only for you but to all gurus...do you wear your looks out after the tutorials??? or just for the tutorial and then take it out???

lol i know i'm being too curious.

[QueenofBlendingMUA]

@judithmilagro 90% of the time I wear them out. I usually record tutorials before I go somewhere :)

[NOTMEEPJINXCHANFOOLS]

I dont think you sound boring or upset or anything, I dont know whats wrong with everyone else.

[QueenofBlendingMUA]

@NOTMEEPJINXCHANFOOLS thank you! sheesh!!

[NOTMEEPJINXCHANFOOLS]

@QueenofBlendingMUA They should just be happy youre putting out tutorials and such!

theyre probably used to being obnoxious like high schoolers. haha.

[zeleyna2700]

i see your still using the nail stickers from sephora im hoping that u were able to see the comment i left u from the tutorial video to help u make them last longer and look better

[QueenofBlendingMUA]

@zeleyna2700 oh I'm not, I recorded this video a while ago, when i still had them on. I give up on those :(

[zeleyna2700]

@QueenofBlendingMUA u should try them one more time wit the tips i gave u see if they make it better cuz we all use then at sephora but we use different tools and tips to help them stay on lik the crystal nail file to keep them frm ripping and a clear coat of nail polish on top to keep it from peeling up and a light base coat to help it stick better

[kerstintaylor1]

I absolutely love you and you are an inspiration to all!!! F* all the ppl who says negative things!!! And instead of ppl telling you you need to be happier or stop doing tutorials, if the don't like how you talk they can always click that big red X in the upper right hand corner! Freakin Idiots!!!

[QueenofBlendingMUA]

@kerstintaylor1 hahaha thank you!

[BizzyMama87]

I'm so sick of people complaining about your voice. I honestly get scared of other gurus who talk all uppity and happy 'cause I have to watch them when my son is sleeping, and sometimes, the enthusiasm wakes my son up. Like as if people are obligated to watch your videos. Don't like the voice, then don't friggen watch!

[starryskies214]

I honestly think that people who are overly peppy are annoying to listen to. I like to listen to you because you're not all crazy and you don't talk too much. There are some people I just cannot watch on here because they talk soooo much. And who cares how upbeat you are or are not when your makeup looks this good?

[crownjewel602]

so so pretty...ur one of my fav's. Keep doin ya thing gurl

[purplegoddess28]

i dont know if this question has been asked before but do you do your tutorials before you go out or do you just play in the makup and stay at home?

[QueenofBlendingMUA]

@purplegoddess28 I usually wear them out and about :)

[ng916415]

OMG i love this look going to try it right now!! And Lauren please ignore all the bullshit you get in comment because those of us who are ride or die fans of yours will never judge you and we love you and just keep doing a great job and keep the vids coming! I never will or can complain!! THIS GIRL IS AMAZING!

[threesthekey]

What would you say the difference is between the white NYX base & the jumbo eye pencil in milk?

[QueenofBlendingMUA]

@threesthekey the HUGE diference is that milk creases like crazy!! the actual base doesn't at all..huge difference!

[LisaFreemontStreet]

@QueenofBlendingMUA thanks! i was wondering this too...

[threesthekey]

@threesthekey Thank you! I'll definitely try the white base now (^_^)

[triniusmcwife]

i absolutely love your make up but im a lil bit darker in skin tone than u..and im a lil scared to go wild with all the bright colours. I will love to wear yellows and and reds, greens etc...but i dont know how to bring it together for my skin tone...please help....

[AlondraShanaye]

Do u ever wear your tutorial looks out or do u just do them for YouTube and wear them around the house or something?

Just curious=]

nice look

[QueenofBlendingMUA]

@AlondraShanaye I go out with them on!

[AlondraShanaye]

@QueenofBlendingMUA okay that's good. Cuz when I watch tutorials I wonder if they wear them out or not- cuz if they dnt I think it's a waste.

Lol thanks for replying- some gurus don't reply

[meg11432]

i love the high pigments of the sugarpill shadows but their palettes are SO Exepensive

[NataliaTara]

Glad you are posting lots of tutorials lately :)

[clairemarie231]

Question: What is the point of putting on the white base just to cover it with the black?

[scattyc123]

This is amazing!

Do not feel the need to explain yourself about your calm voice.

It's relaxing to listen to, people learn well from it, it's not squeaky or so loud i have to put it on mute to watch the vid :-)

You're fab and plenty of people think so!

[QueenofBlendingMUA]

@scattyc123 the voice thing is ridiculous, i know, but people are already complaining again. i knew they one when i edited this haha my low calm voice apparently translates into me not wanting to do a tutorial.. it's really annoying haha but thank you!!

[delaneywalsh]

Yay! I've missed you tutorials, girlie!!!

[michikobll]

I like this look it kinda reminds me of a 2in1. If you stopped where you blended the red it's a hot vampy fall look. When you add in the yellow and green you get a pretty summer tropics look. loooove it <3

[misszmyles]

you are soo pretty. and i love this look. Im definitely gonna use

[rudyway]

i know you already made a video about people saying you needed to be happier, but im not saying you need to be on crack happy, but a little enthusiasm would be nice. it seems like you don't want to be doing tutorials anymore. not that thats a bad thing, just saying if you dont want to do anymore dont. :)

anyway, very pretty look.

[QueenofBlendingMUA]

@rudyway like i've always had to explain, it's just my calm talking voice..this is me simply talking calm and low. I guess I'll never win just being myself, for some people. If I didn't want to record a tutorial, believe me, I have no problem not doing so.

[lorimneal]

@QueenofBlendingMUA be urself girl. we luv U that way. 4get the haters!

[CaliforniaHope]

@QueenofBlendingMUA You are fine and beautiful the way you are. (: Please keep making tutorials and make them/act/talk the way you want. Love the look.

[ClaudiaandArmand]

@QueenofBlendingMUA I totally understand the calm low voice thing. I get it all the time too with people telling me to be happy even if I already am.... LOVE your vids btw and I have mimic'ed several of your looks, I love them.....

[negra18soccer]

jeeezzzzz all sugarpill cosmetics? i guess i have a new shopping list!!!

[bebeluvsjonasbros44]

kinda looks like a bruise to me =/

[zoki2288]

I like this look alot very hot mami

[ChokoJazz]

And i think also u look awsome in such lively colours. in my opinion people with such beautiful colour of skin like u look much better than pure white people, it just match and really look incredible, best regards :*

[ChokoJazz]

Girl, you are such a warm person :) i watch yr videos juts for yourself, tut by the way :)

which is of course amazing.

[sweetshoney623]

i love this look !!!!....you are the best

[babynur96]

OMG SO PRETTY!

[giraffasaurous]

Guys, if you didn't bother to read the description box on this video, it clearly states that was recorded on August 27th. That's almost a month ago. No way in the world did anyone copy anyone else. Besides, why should it matter? Make up looks aren't copyrighted or property to one specific person.

[QueenofBlendingMUA]

@giraffasaurous AGREED!

[laura5x5]

this is amazing! can you do a turtorial for the nails you have now? (:

[MarlaCouture]

I am sorry, but to all the haters,

Since when was a make-up look only permitted for one person to wear?

There is no law saying she can not teach us how to do this look her way.

I am totally sure that make-up looks were invented for more than one person to wear/try/teach and show.

I think I've made my point.

[karbari]

@MarlaCouture - I agree. Not everyone has the same complexion, face shape, or eye shape. sometimes it helps when more than just a certain demographic of muas do a specific look. I wish MORE people would do looks like this. Others would use different products (although SP rocks!), and they are going to be applying it to different face shapes/eye shapes and complexions. Variety is the spice of life...

Some people are just negative and dramaholics and don't see the bigger picture.

[MarlaCouture]

@karbari

Thank you, that is exactly what I meant !

Glad someone understands :)

xo

[100Meowz]

lol are you some where tropical? cause you look darker??

[misscecebeauty]

this whole julieg copying drama is so stupid, who cares? get over it, don't like it? copyright purple and shut up :) i love them both!

[Misskiyab]

Hella pretty

[Splendorious]

gonna try this

[VictoriaCreeper]

I want sugar pill products so bad!!!

[HCG4mee]

as always, another flawless look!

[babycaks1]

DOES THE NYX BASE WORK REAL GOOD? I WANT TO TRY IT...

[biryanilover16]

you are just the sweetest, i love this look

thanks! <3

[yagirltwin]

very pretty!!!!

[santonegra]

incredible!

[09meandmyhorses]

thats so so so intense!

[PAOLALUUU]

I love how u used the yellow shadow!! OMG!! I have to try ;)

[clockfool]

u r the best, you have a gift when you can do a whole look with pretty much the same brush every tutorial aka the sonia kashuk small eyeshadow brush

[MzShoeFreak]

Looks Great as always.. I know you are going to have so many people walking around with a yellow highlight.. You wear it so well but not everybody can pull off a yellow highlight Not ever i can with my tone.

[RaCchiieey]

love it

[Kishwick]

love it!

[chrissys31]

gosh I have been watching you since u started here and you incorporate colors that are in a palette so well I see you live up to your name"Queen of blending" thats for sure! I love your technic more than lots on here u make it so easy to follow and you intro me to those sonia brushes and there great love my flat shader by her better than my mac one! Again your great and hope u never get tired of doing vids on the tube.

[makeupgemz]

Wow ! I love it!!!

[njoyelife]

sooooo so pretty...up until now, I was under the empression that a highlight had to be in a nude/white/really light color...I think the yellow is awesome! I've been wanted to try Sugarpill and looking for a really good matte black...and since I trust you....I'm heading to Sugarpill to get it!

[jamqueen80]

This is such a beautiful look on you Lauren! IDK if i could pull this off but you nailed it.

[Prettyblackfairy]

Very Pretty!
