For our second Commanders in Chic spotlight, meet beauty expert Lauren Cosenza. Lauren Cosenza is a pro makeup artist, blogger and published contributor. Her clients include Cosmopolitan, Elle, Vanity Fair and Victoria’s Secret to name a few and she was recently featured on FOX News spilling her beauty secrets. It’s safe to say that this industry insider is just as beautiful (both on the inside and out) as the gorgeous, flawless faces she creates every day. Lauren believes every woman should feel like a supermodel and aims to empower women through her work, all the while marching to beat of her trademark “divalicious” drum.
My name is:

My life’s Motto is:
