Makeup How-To For Girly Geeks

We all know there are some really great videos on youtube, especially funny ones that help to break up the workday. Some videos are inspirational, too, but those are usually too sappy for me. I don’t like sappy. Most of the videos I see are passed around in emails so if I’ve seen one, you probably have as well. It’s the whole viral thing you know.

One series of youtube videos, though, are worth mentioning. Lauren Luke aka panacea81 is a makeup genius. She applies makeup with step-by-step instructions. Whether she’s creating a Sweet & Innocent Wedding look or Amy Winehouse eyeliner, you’ll be treated to a transformation that is amazing and yet very easy to follow at home.

Keep in mind that Ms. Luke is very lovely with great eyes. Her eyebrows are perfection. Since I’m afraid of being waxed (yes, I’m a wimp) I’ve been inspired to invest in Rubis tweezers so I can mimic panacea81’s brows. My biggest dilemma is deciding which video to watch and what look to copy. There are just so many videos to watch that I could spend days on end watching, trying, washing and then starting over.

If you’re a girly geek or just a girly girl and you’re looking for a site that’s fun and feeds your “inner pretty” then head on over to Lauren Luke’s YouTube site and try on a new You. If you have a blog, post your pics and then come back here and let me know about it. I’d love to see what you do with these great video tutorials.
