  • You must get some good amphetamines up your way gal!

  • thanks for the lesson mom

  • I <3 YOUU LAURENN XXXXXX

  • it's sad how the media affects the public

  • Lauren :D! i loved this video, very inspirational. im a teenager from cramlington so i love to watch your videos, it makes me proud to hear such a successful geordie! your so amazing and talented xx

  • Lauren:

    I can't believe I heard you say that you are not that great looking. You are stunning and charming and I love what you had to say. Right on!

  • great accent, and great thoughts. though i feel i have to point out that many of those perfect people on the telly are not that attractive at all but its sold as attractive. its horrific to me. the everyday average people are not unattractive. you are extremely attractive and not at all average, so i would find this message more real from an ugly person. you are great looking and you dont need to lose pounds at all.

  • Well said!

  • Hi Lauren I just want to say, thank you. I really love that there are people like you out there who stay real, who stay who they are and influence people in the right way. You're giving so many girls such confidence including myself & you are right. It is ok to be you and be happy with who you are, thats the beauty of us all being different. Its just great to see that you've done so well for yourself. I think I can speak on behalf of all the north east & say we are very proud :)

  • thank you i have been watching you for a while and stumbeled across this!! I am not skinny and never will be this makes me feel like i am normal! Thank you! you are awsome

  • so inspiring thank you :)

  • want your accent : )

  • Newcastle/south shields, i have it too

  • From where is that accent??

  • reflecting your own issues

  • Lauren, you are terrific!!!!! You have a heart of gold and it just shines right through :)

  • Lauren,

    you are such an amazing person. I am so glad you made this video because so many people today focus on their body and themselves when in reality there's so much more to life. You are an outstanding make up artist and deserve everything and all the praise you've gotten. You go girl!

  • what am i doing here?!

  • Great video lauren! :) I got to admit it is hard not to care what other people think. But at the end of it all if you can accept ureself than that should be all that matters...bcos u have to live with ureself. Accepting ureself for who u r can be difficult...but by being able to do this will help. Plus life is just too short to be concerned with looks and thin stick figures. Take care x

  • This is what I try to tell people! Once we had to do an essay on something that annoyed us about society. I chose this exactly, and my teacher said I was completely over reacting.. Probably because he was a 50 year old man, but hey! I'm just glad to see that I'm not the only one who thinks that we should be who we are, no matter what we look like :)

  • The best thing i've found when i fell unhappy about how i look i dye my hair or get it cut and it makes a hell of a diffrence just to me anyway :D

  • english

  • show sounds like paul gascoigne

  • ur amazin i have whatched evey single vid :D :)

  • i think you're incredible for making this, though, strangely enough, it's my parents who want me to be thinner. i'm a uk 8 and 5'7".i'd love to be curvier because i prefer me that way.

    you're beautiful, inside and out.

  • i love you i do

  • i love your accent and you are a great role model,i look up to you,i am only 15 and i see and understand what you are talking about:)

  • hmm I understand. When I was a teen I was a complete stick lol. I was as thin as a rake. I was so uncomfy. I would wear massive tshirts to cover it cos i know people were looking at me and judging me.

    As i got older I am now curvy. Which is great. But then i felt too fat.

    I learnt that I should have just realised that your body changes as you get older and you should just not care what people think.

  • wtf is she saying

  • i totally get what you're saying about material people. it's okay to watch what you eat because sometimes for health reasons, and like you said, if you're skinny already just eat healthy, don't starve yourself, it's just sad what society has done to everyone. no one is themselves anymore...

  • Gosh Im inlove with her acsent :D hehe, GORGEOUS work

  • You are such a beautiful person, inside and out. Thank you so much for this video, and for all the work you do to bring us the best make up looks :)

  • I beg to disagree. You are beautiful. Beautifully normal.

  • NEWCASTLE

  • NAAAH MATE LANDAN.

  • You are like one of my fave people on youtube, your so nice and you make alot of sence and your a very nice personnn :) xxx

  • @irgeo

    wtf is sence?

  • Thank you so much for this video. I came across it unexpectedly, and it has made me feel fantastic! This will indeed be one of the videos I will think of when i'm ever feeling down.

    And also just to say, I'm so glad someone so genuinely deserving has been giving the chance to do something they love. You have got it going for you in every single aspect. I'm only 19 and consider you more of a role model than any airbrushed celebrity.

    Keep up the good work!

  • you look especially beautiful in this video!

    great message in this video as well :)

    thanks lauren

  • u`re right saying this...! no one is perfect... but sould be happy about who they are...

  • You go, sister. Thanks for saying this.

  • Thank you so much for this. It puts everything in the proper perspective.

  • I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video. I have tried to explain this sort of concept to people but can never find the right words to say. You said everything perfectly.  You are brilliant- God bless you. :D

  • Lauren u r my idol i am so happy 4 u well done!!!!!!!!!!! Thank U sooooo much for everythink uve done. u R A GR8 rolemodel just what the UK needs and u r so rite...........Its a really important message to get across to young people!! just be yourself thats all anyone can ask from you!!! Well Done

  • Hmm. I agree with you panacea81. It's frustrating because a lot of marketing in the world is dishonest and they aren't afraid to lie about their "results", and aren't afraid to take your money either. I've been perplexed by todays society and wonder, "What, if anything can I do to change it?". Sadly, I realized I may not have the most powerful influence, but one day I would rather help people than hiding away, raking in money like a corrupt CEO. I want to be a doctor and help people daily.

  • do you live in newcastle?

  • the tellly.

    :D

  • about what excatly!! bcos i do!!??

  • :) You are really great. I'm very happy that I've found your videos. I know this one is from a while back, but I've just seen it today. You've got such a lovely personality, and such good advice. If more people were like you, this world would be a much better place. You deserve all the good that comes your way!

  • i want to see you on your kknees :) lol just kidding :D, kay im not i want to see you necked

  • Lauren, you are absolutely amazing! Everything that you said is true and you are a role model to me! I come home everyday and get on my computer to see if you have done anymore videos because you are so talented.

    I love your work and for the record your dogs are the cutest little things!

    x

  • you are what this country needs, a good female role model

  • I actually admire you! You are a fantastic role model for young people :) And btw i think your stunning :) x

  • Lauren , I love the fact that you are so down to earth yet so lovely and gorgeous ( yes you are) at the same time. You are so talented and I watch your videos all the time . I just want to say thank you so much . Im so glad that you are doing so well for yourself . :)

  • Thank you for this Lauren..

    I have days at school when i just feel like the ugliest around. You made me feel better. Thank you so much.. x

  • your are beautiful lauren i think what you do is great love take care !

  • Being to skinny is uggly (a woman isn't made to be looking like a skeleton in my opinion urgh ! lol) and dangerous for your health ! Being overweight is also not good for your health.

    But look at Marilyn Monroe ! She wasn't skinny and she was just gorgeous !

    + nobody's perfect... (it will be so boring lol)

  • i agree marilyn monroe was a size 14! and she was one of or the first american sex symbols she was beautiful. Also, women are ment to have extra fat on them, its natural and feminin. Though being overweight isnt good either.

  • Comment removed

  • Totally Agree with you hun!!! x.x.x

  • i agree! THANK YOU!

  • wow im in love

  • AMEN!

  • ur so insprational lauren

  • at the end of the day, i agree that it is wrong to be super skinny, but it is wrong to be overweight too. it is unhealthy and just as bad as being underweight.

  • i agree, and she said that already in her video. it's never good to distend something.

    By the way. Panacea: i think it's great what you are doing. you are very likeable!

  • wow thatnks alot , no joke ive accually propa listened , that was amaxing :} thank you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • i thought that was amazing, i realized i was never gunna change my face, but i changed my personality, and it makes me feel beautiful

  • i used to have anarexia but its not fun or good

  • wow! what a cutie'!

  • i had anorexia when i was about 12 and its not good. tell them when they get older they may not beable to have kids. it made me change my mind same when i herd about all the other helth issues. i hope the helth scare will change there mind about not eating propely.

  • Make up should be used to enhance your looks, not change your looks. A lot of girls don't realize that. If you want to change something about yourself, change your outlook on things, not your looks!

  • hunny your beautifull... its just the media that caused insecurities for people... its such bad karma... some people are so nasty.. all women are beautifulll, ur stunning...

    and to all the girls that are nasty to you...

    BAD KARMAAAAAAAA

  • Hi :)

    Im slim, but its natural and I really hate when women who are, maybe not the slimmest, which isnt bad, but I hate it when they call themselves 'real women'. Women come in all shapes and sizes and if you are healthy and happy, you are a real woman. Personality is better anyway :)

    Anyway, I love the way your views and how you express them.

  • You're so right Lauren! Love ya and make sure you stay the way you are! ;-)

    Love ya and the tutorials! xox

  • I agree with this im 17 and have never thought about becoming a size sero im a size 8 and happy like i am. Im doing a media/photography project on how the media has influenced people over the years and this video goes to show that not everyone in the world is drawn in by what the emdia is saying.

    Another great Vid Lauren and i idolise you, you yourself are perfect and a great inspiration to us younger girlies :) im sure your twin sisters will grow out of it :)

    Loves x

  • i love your accent

  • you are such a great person. I used to be the kind of person who wanted well actually thought u had to look that certain way in order to be beautiful. But now i know thats not true. Im glad u decided to do this video to let a lot of younger girls understand that they do not have to starv themself in order to be beautiful.

  • "you'll be surprised, if you,ve got a good personality, how far it can get you!"

    In your words four months ago...guess they should listen huh Lauren? you proved every word right since!

    Lovely person, you really are, with bags of personality and an inner beauty that no amount of make-up could hide! Kisses

  • thats touching

  • 3:26 to 3:32. You are great looking! And you dont need to lose any weight. as you said in the vid, jus stay in ur comfort zone. your rock! x

  • you're gorgeous, and an amazing inspiration (:

  • i remember when you posted one on how to do your make up like amy lee.

    i was like,

    KSJDNVSKJVNEOMGGGGG!

    cause im sorta in love with amy lee.

    =]]]

    i like your work, youre so good at this.

  • scrap last two comments, it wasnt PSJ71 I got mixed up sorry, but i was giving someone else a row for being nasty to lauren, i was not calling her a fuck up ok, i was saing that to someone else who is very nasty!!!

  • Oh I see we have a jealous one here (victoriam).

  • ESCUSE ME? I am not jealous! I was giving PSJ71a row for being horible about Lauren when she is the best!!!!!!

  • I was talking to someone else!!!

    I am not jealous, i was giving someone else a row for being horrible to lauren!!!!!

    Get your facts right!!!! Lauren has inspired me to be who i am, and i love her!

  • I apologize. I thought you were baging on Lauren and I love her too! Sorry! =)

  • Heyy Lauren,

    I'm 16 and from Australia and i just wanted to say that i'm a massive fan and watch all your vids. :) Also CONGRATS on everything

    you truly deserve it. :)Everything you said in vid is so true and i totally agree with

    you, this is something i believe in. You are totally amazing and Defiantly my idol. Keep up the GREAT work.

    xxx

  • You have pretty eyes

  • Congratulations for your courage to say these things. Speaking about celebrities, why not people look at me and follow the way I am and what I wear...why Hollywood stars are telling us what to wear?, just because they have more money than average?. I am unique, and nobody is like me! isn't that awesome and enough?? Even celebrities are not happy with the way they look! LOLOLOL Think about Michael Jackson's face and all wanting to imitate Marylin Monroe, all the estethical operations, etc

  • sorry the above comment was to Djdilz9 for saying such a nasty thing to Lauren. I love Lauren!! She is the bestest!! :)

  • You inspire me to look at myself as pretty and beautiful! I really hate the media and all of that--telling everyone that they should be skinny. I think you are amazing!!!! I love your videos!!!!

  • nice video! xD S

  • you are so amazing

  • I tell my daughter that the pictures in the magazines are airbrushed and photoshopped to get the look they want. It's impossible to be like that. I wish young girls would learn that it's all fake. People come in all shapes and sizes. Imagine if everyone looked the same, how boring.

  • you are so inspirational! i love you and i am your biggest fan! i feel fat a lot and you inspire me because you are a curvy goddess and beautiful and successful! i want to be like you when i grow up

  • You are so inspiring, and beautiful! I really owe you a thanks, because I was feeling bad about myself, but then I saw your video, and it just inspired me to change my thinking. I'm a big fan of you and all of your videos.

  • you are awsome!! i love watching and listening to you...this video in particular is great and it really lifted mt spirits so thank you!

    -paulina

  • When ever i watch this when im down about how much i weigh/look, it give me a pick me up! :) completly true :) so thank you

  • omg you are such a beautiful, amazing person! Everything you said is very true. You are a one of a kind! Stay sweet!!

  • oh damn..calm down man its not such a big deal

  • I was talking to PSJ71

  • the comment from me starting with, your a fuck up, was not aimed at lauren it was for someone else who was being very horrid to lauren saying she has no mates, and i had to tell them what they are!

  • You know what I love about your beauty tips? You start with the ultimate base of inner beauty. It really shows. There's no bronzer or highlighter in the world that can fix a lack of peace. The French call it *bien dans sa peau* - well in her skin - and consider it one of those hard-to-pin aspects of true beauty. You move *tres bien dans votre peau*. Never lose it!

  • OkAAAY

  • Great advice, Lauren! I'm excited to see your new looks for GREEN EYES!!! And also your foundation and mature color (for mom) advice!!!

    Love you!

    Paula

  • this brought a tear to me eye

    i love you for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and everything else you do haha)

    very inspirational! i was exactly like one of those girls who wanted to be like the women in those darn adverts, in a way i still am but there should be more people like you!!

    [=

  • you are pretty with and without makeup

  • Thank you sooo much for this talk! I agree with you, A lot of people do not realize that the pictures they see in the magazine and on tv are airbrush and altered.The best advise I can give my kids is Be yourself...everyone else is already taken.

    Take pride on your uniqueness!

  • I AM UR BIGGHEST FAN XD

  • Great talk Lauren!!

  • Thank you sooo much for this video, Lauren. What you say is entirely true, and when you say it, for some reason, it means much more to me than it does when it comes from a celebrity. Maybe it's because they actually have that perfect life. You're very influential, you know ^-^

    You're also very sweet, truthful, honest, and God-knows what else! :)

    I hope that you'll be happy and successful in whatever you do, and that you'll get your own show soon!

    Best wishes~ =)

  • this may be true, but the power of the media, hollywood,advertising is impossible to overcome, esp 4 young people. Unless you never turn on the tv or radio or mtv

    you are going to be influenced. The only power we have is to not spend so much on clothers, makeup,mags etc

    Our money is what keeps the illusion going.

    Ya can't be into it on one hand, yet dog it on the other!

    For example, tanning is a dangerous habit, but I've heard you yourself say you use a tanning bed - bad influence!

  • good "big sister" talk

  • you are beautiful lauren with a pure heart :) i wish every person out there had a heart and a mind like you :)

    ...x0x0x ShazZah !!

  • Wow- if only everyone could be like you Lauren. This is the sweetest video I've ever seen, and just so true. I wish all people with viewer power would go and tell people about how it's just not real, and at the end of the day worrying about it just makes you feel more inadequate, and it's just lies anyway.

    You are just such a nice, down-to-earth person. I hope you have your own makeup show someday. And when you do, I hope you stay just as nice and sweet as you are now. :D

    -Luna-

  • you are amazing!!!!!!

  • You are amazing! I love your looks and if I ever need a new look, i know all I have to do Is go on to youtube! You have a look for every day of the week. Everyday of the year infact! my Mum just laughs at me because I'm always watching you! Haha! Thankyou so much for Your help! Please dont forget us- Carry on doing the makeup on Youtube! And Congratulations on the BBC news report! xx Thankyou! xx Love Ellie.x

  • Aww, this is really nice! Yeah they people in the magazines are airbrushed. There is this show in the U.S. called "How to look good naked" and there was this one episode this woman just loved how these two girls looked on this giant poster and the girls were standing behind them and popped out, they looked NOTHING like the pics. You live once, be happy.

  • ran out of room below!

    Anyway, my advice to the young ones (I am now 40!) is to feel good, embrace your power, and develop a dream and a vision for your life.

    Make-up is fun. Fitness can be fun if you find something you like (I dance). Success is fun.

    Develop your brain, your talents, and ignore those who would make you hate yourself.

    Seriously, we live in a world of enormous opportunity. Treat yourself with respect and love....and the rest will follow.

    Truly.

  • Years ago I modelled in New York. I can state for a FACT that the photos of me are NOT me.

    First of all, I was literally spray painted from my normal pale skin to a perfect, blemish-free brown. It was paint!

    Then I was made up, and 3 people spent over an hour on my hair.

    Even then, they altered the photos with the computer.

    The fashion and beauty industries make women feel inadequate so that they will buy products! The first rule of marketing is to create a need that does not exist.

  • What a wonder person you are...I'st about time. If you can I have a request makeup on older eyes, So yours tr

  • sorry continued..So yours truly don't look like what every happend to baby jane.

    Thanks11
