Even if she's testing out a new braid or ballerina bun, you'd be hard-pressed to find Lauren switching up her eyeliner. Browse through her Instagram selfies or catch her on the red carpet — Lauren's wing might be longer or sharper in some images, but the cat eye is always there.

As a California girl, Lauren knows the power of a good bronzer. No matter your complexion, a light dusting of your favorite formula can wake up your whole face better than a triple-shot latte. You could limit your glow to a gentle contour, or you could sweep it across your forehead, cheekbones, and décolléte to get LC's sun-goddess look.

Textured, tousled braids perfectly fit Lauren's beach goddess beauty vibe, and she seems to love experimenting with a variety of twists and plaits, including this macramé style. Try adding a braid to your regimen (even if you have short hair!) to give any look an instant cool-girl feel.

Even though Lauren is known for her long, wavy blond mane (which may have a braid or two peppered in), she switched up her style by chopping it into a lob, then a wob — and then dyed it bright red. This is an important reminder to never get too comfortable with your signature look. After all, beauty is supposed to be fun, not boring!

Lauren's signature look: ombré blond waves, bronzer, and a perfectly defined cat eye. Though she may have had it for years, it's the perfect blend of classic, modern, and cute. As the old adage goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
