'I couldn't accept the thought of my husband dying' with Lauren Curtis
Hello! Today, we're joined by OG Australian beauty vlogger, Lauren Curtis. Lauren first rose to fame in 2011 after launching her YouTube channel, where she taught an entire generation of girls how to do their makeup. Since then, she’s built a community of more than 4 million followers across her social platforms and remains one of the most recognisable faces in the Australian creator space. In this conversation, Lauren reflects on the early days of YouTube, sharing what it was like to build a career online and some of the more unsettling experiences that came with having such a public platform. She also opens up about how spending years in front of the camera shaped the way she sees herself, and speaks candidly about her view on cosmetic procedures. Lauren also shares the incredibly difficult journey she and her husband, Reece, have endured over the past few years, leading up to his recent liver transplant. She reflects on the perspective this experience has given her and the gratitude she now feels for the opportunity to grow old together.
