Beauty Fix: Lauren Conrad

Lauren Conrad is definitely the Hollywood "it" girl of the moment. Fresh from the success of The Hills and about to get her own prime time gig, she is literally everywhere so we wanted to get some Lauren action too! Here's how to perfect the Lauren!

1. You Go Glow Girl
To get that gorgeous glowy, dewy look that makes Lauren look like a goddess, it's all about the base baby. First up, use a moisturiser that will nourish and nurture you skin to healthy, glowing perfection. Check out Bellaboo Gorgeous Skin Moisture Dew, $16.95.

2. To prime or not to prime, that is the question?
Now I know a famous makeup artist is known for his catch-cry of it's a crime not to prime and, may I say straight up, I'm no makeup artist or makeup expert, but I just kinda wonder if the whole primer thing is to the makeup world right now what toner was years ago. You know, big deal about it being an absolute must and then years later revealed that it's a waste of time and totally unnecessary? I was so excited to try a primer cos I'd been lulled into the whole frenzy of primer being the next big makeup must-have that was going to make my face look fabulously flawless but I have to say I didn't notice any difference to the way my makeup looked or how it felt on my skin.

That's my wrap on primers in general. And would love to hear from our boos as to what you think about the whole primer caper.

3. Luminescent
Whilst we're not sold on primers, we are totally and utterly devotees of illumination. Do as Lauren and dab on from eyebrow end to cheekbone + a little on the brown line and blend. It just seriously makes your makeup looks so fresh and makes your eyes go totally off! . This little beauty tip will literally make you glow and shine and look so fresh faced fabulous that you could so easily be mistaken for a celeb on any red carpet. Loving Ella Bache Radiance Elixir Illuminator. Ok, at $80 a pop it's definitely an investment piece of the makeup world, but this stuff is the bomb. You can use it as a moisturiser for an all over even dewy glow or illuminate and highlight away as Lauren has.

4. Barely There Foundation
Lauren's look is all about natural beauty. To achieve this, get yourself a really good quality mineral powder foundation. This light alternative to foundation will provide you with the perfect blended coverage but make you look all natural. We love Designer Brands Barely Nude Mineral Powder Foundation. It glides on and gives you consistent and even coverage all day everyday. Oh, and at $14.95, it is a designer steal!!!

5. Bronze Benefit
For Lauren's perennial beach-girl look, make bronzer your new best buddy. To apply, tap the brush on the side of your hand before applying to your face to ensure even coverage. Start at the nose and forehead and then sweep down and out and continue from the face to the neckline and décolletage. Sax Bronzing Palette, $19.95, will give you instant beach girl cred.

6. Berry Blush
Lauren's rosy cheeks scream healthy glow. Apply blush with a large makeup brush. Remember to tap brush on the side of your hand before applying to face. Smile your biggest smile and apply to the apples of your checks in an upward sweeping motion. Designer Brands Berry Blush is the absolute Lauren shade! $6.99

7. Natural yet dramatic
A hard combo to pull off but Lauren has it covered. Start with neutral eyeshadow tones of light browns. Apply the lightest shade to the eyelid and then blend in a darker cocoa into the corners of the eyes. Bare Minerals Cocoa Shadow, $44, gives you the perfect tones to get this look. Go easy and light on the shadow but totally dramatic on the liner. Start from the inner corner of the eye with a liquid liner, sweeping over the lid and almost flicking out at the end to get that curved and dramatic line . We love, love, love Designer Brands Liquid Liner, $6.99. There's something about this little product that allows you to get the perfect liner action every time - even if you are totally un-co at the whole makeup caper!

8. Lash out
Get lashings of lashes by using a mascara wand with curved brush which allows you to get into the base of the lash and lash out and curl as you apply. Lashes will look lush, full and dramatic. Cover Girl Fantastic Lash mascara, $15.50, fits the bill in the brush department for longer, fuller lashes.

9. Lip Lustre
Teaming an overall natural look with a little dramatic lip action is always so glam. Loving Lauren's dramatic berry lips. We found the perfect copy shade from Estee Lauder in Berry Cordial, $44. Talk about understated elegance!
