Celebrity smile

A North East make up artist who has become a worldwide on-line phenomenon has said a very public thank you to the Wearside dentist who gave her the confidence to pursue her career.

South Shields’ born Lauren Luke has become a global star, thanks to the make up tutorials that she runs on YouTube.

But the single mum was hampered by a lack of confidence, mainly due to being self-conscious about her uneven teeth which had haunted her since childhood.

All that changed however when renowned dentist Ken Harris agreed to carry out the necessary work on Lauren’s teeth.

Lauren’s beaming smile can now be seen throughout her best-selling book, Lauren Luke, which has recently gone on sale and includes a massive thank you to Ken Harris and the rest of his team at Riveredge Cosmetic Dentistry in Sunderland.

Lauren admits that if she hadn’t had the dentistry work carried out she’d never have been able to have her photograph taken for the book. ‘Before I had the work carried out I didn’t smile because I never wanted anyone to see my teeth,’ she said. ‘The book is full of pictures of me and there’s no way without the help of Riveredge I would have been able to have them taken.’

Lauren’s on-line success has seen her launch her cosmetics range which is available via the internet in the UK and in stores around America.
