Career
Lee first began posting images of her make-up looks on Instagram. She began her YouTube channel in 2013, posting make-up tutorials, hacks, and product reviews. She was named StarCentral Magazine's "Beauty Guru of the Month" in October 2014.
She collaborated with make-up brand Too Faced in 2016. She also collaborated on an eye shadow palette with Violet Voss in June 2016. In April 2017, she helped create her own lipstick shade with MAC Cosmetics. Later that year, she collaborated with Benefit Cosmetics on their Benefit Island Collection, representing the Precisely Brow Pencil.
In September 2017, she appeared on Today to promote her future make-up brand, Laura Lee Los Angeles. In October 2017, she released her first eye shadow palette, "Cat's Pajamas," from her brand. Further in April 2018, she released her second eye shadow palette, "Nudie Patootie" along with three liquid lipsticks and an eyeliner.
In August of 2018, Twitter activity from 2012 was found in which she made comments that she self-described as "vile and disgusting". After releasing a video which did not address the situation, and then following that with a 4 minute apology video, many of her fans began to rally against her in solidarity for unacceptance of racism and fat shaming. In a one week span she lost a historic 300,000+ subscribers, bringing her to 4 million. The social media rebellion picked up steam with famous YouTubers live streaming her statistics to allow for public watching of the mass Exodus that resulted in 130,000+ lost in the day following her defense video. Lee also suffered the severing of business advertising and sponsorships as a result of her racist comments, including losing sponsorship with Ulta Beauty, Diff Eyewear, and Boxycharm.
