With several clothing lines, hit TV series, and best-selling books under her chic belt, it seems
Lauren is on fire these days! Her seventh book, "
Lauren Conrad Beauty,"
gives readers an inside peak into her pretty world with tons of hair
and makeup how-to's, helpful tips and tricks, and inspirational
images—this is one beauty bible not to miss.
What inspired you to write this "ultimate beauty guide"?"I've
learned so many things along the way, working with hairstylists and
makeup artists at photo shoots—this book was an opportunity for me to
share all of that."
How did you decide which trends to focus on in your book?"When
you're writing a book, you don’t want it to be overly trendy because
you people to enjoy it for years and refer back to it. That was
definitely something in the back of my mind when we were choosing what
hairstyles to do and what makeup tricks to share."
Which parts did you have the most fun writing?"I
think the best parts to write were the things that I already know. I
also love the nail art chapter because you can have more fun with nail
art!"
What's it like working with your makeup artist, Amy Nadine?"She's
always pushing me to try little things, whether it’s a new way to do
lashes or adding a bit of color to my lips. I’m so married to my look
and besides making little tweaks to my lip color or eyes, it tends to
stay the same."
Are you going to be trying any of those little tweaks this fashion week?"For
most of the shows, I’m doing my own makeup. This probably wouldn’t be
the moment to take a big risk. But I’ll definitely be incorporating
different lip colors, and most of my looks will include a cat-eye,
because that’s what I do!"
This is your seventh book—how have you evolved as a writer?"For
me, the biggest struggle is sticking to a deadline and putting myself
on a schedule. You aren’t turning in chapters at a time or a little at a
time. You are turning in a manuscript. It’s kind of like putting
together a puzzle and I’m really proud of what we were able to
accomplish."
Do you have any plans for an eighth book?"I’m actually working on it right now! It’s my third in my series, The Fame Game."
What are you most excited for readers to take away from your book?"I
think that makeup can be challenging, especially when you are younger.
Everybody learns in different ways, whether it’s tearing out pages in
magazines or replicating what your friends do. I think that it’s really
nice to learn that makeup is different for every person. Everyone has a
different feature on their face that they like to show off. One of the
main messages in this book is to have fun with makeup. It’s not meant to
cover you up. It’s meant to show off your favorite things about
yourself."
