Lauren Conrad at L.A. Candy Book Signing

Lauren Conrad has made her mark on the world, and it's not only as a reality tv star or as mark spokeswoman, but as an author. for the launch of her new book, L.A. Candy, and her first book signing at the Grove in los angeles, Lauren looked absolutely beautiful as she met and signed books for the 1,000-plus fans who had waited over 8 hours for the chance to see her.

her makeup artist Amy Nadine shared how she achieved Lauren's radiant look:

eyes: "for Lauren's fresh look, i swept mark I-Glimmer Illuminating Eye Color in Polished across her entire eye lid, then lined her top lash line with mark On the Edge Hook-Up Liquid Liner in Cleo and finished by coating her lashes in mark Scanda-Lash Hook-Up Mascara in Blacklash."

face: "Lauren and i wanted to create a look that was still her signature style with even more sophistication as an author. we applied mark Get A Tint Tinted Moisturizer Lotion in Buff/Natural and highlighted under her eyes and above her cheekbones with mark Get Bright Hook Up Highlighter in Light/Medium. to create her california glow, i used mark Bronze Pro Bronzing Powder in Pro Glow under her cheekbones, temples, along her hairline and under her jawline, then dusted the apples of her cheeks with mark Good Glowing Mosaic Blush in Chica."

lips: "i finished the look with mark Chic Duet Color and Shine Lip Gloss in Halo Baby."


thanks Amy! i love that mark products work so well and yet are so affordable-- every makeup lover's dream. :) btw, if you're in the nyc area, you can see Lauren in person tonight, june 18, 2009 at the Barnes & Noble in Tribeca from 7–9pm.
