Core Items

Ionian Boots of LucidityIonian Boots of Lucidity Build this after starting magic book for increased cooldown reduction.

Liandry's TormentLiandry's Torment Basic stats gives a chunk of raw AP plus 250 max health which is nice considering Lulu has low HP. The passive Torment also synchronized well with GlitterlanceGlitterlance that doubles the effect. 

Nashor's ToothNashor's Tooth is the core of machine gun Lulu. Overall increased att.speed 50% and gives a nice AP as well. 

Lich BaneLich Bane Lich Bane also works well with Lulu because of her basic skills have low cooldown, so attacking every abilities is crucial. The +5% bonus ms also good inscale with her WhimsyWhimsy

Late Game Addition

Void StaffVoid Staff Void staff can be bought after Rabadon's DeathcapRabadon's Deathcap or before depending on enemies. If they have high Magic Resistance, considering this item first is a good option.

MorellonomiconMorellonomicon Also a situational item, can be bought before or after [rabadon's cap] if enemies have high Resistance.

Aery is good for early game poke with GlitterlanceGlitterlance

Brutal is just basic for any solo laner, could be change into Hunter Vampirism too for extra lifesteal

Regeneration again very basic solo laners rune to restore mana, since lulu is agile enough to discard Spirit Walker and Hunter Titan

Hunter Genius is for going that extra cooldown reduction

Pretty good matchup against Baron Lane Kennen. Lulu can harass early game farming with GlitterlanceGlitterlance . At level 3 Kennen will try to engage with Lightning RushLightning Rush > Electrical SurgeElectrical Surge / Thundering ShurikenThundering Shuriken , Lulu can just Help, Pix!Help, Pix! away safely. Her ultimate Wild GrowthWild Growth also works well to counter Kennen  Slicing MaelstromSlicing Maelstrom by making him stay with knockups.

Build Examples

Normally you will see the #1 build completed at around 8-10 minutes, could be faster if you are succesfully poking and killing. 

This is what the complete build looks like.

Lulu

IMPORTANT SECTION

THIS IS IMPORTANT SECTION!

#1. When and why should you pick Solo Laner Lulu? You should build AP Lulu if and only if your team have a decent Tank/Semi-tank, could be jungler or support. Why does this matter, well first and foremost Lulu needs space to keep her effective attack range, and can only be done so if there is a tank in your team to distract enemies.

#2. AP Lulu is a good counter against the current first pick Kennen meta, at least in Emerald-Diamond. In early game AP Lulu can dominate laning phase against Kennen, and in mid game Lulu can transform into solid damage dealer with distraction potential to Kennen's ultimate. Will get into that later.

#3. DO NOT blind-picking Lulu with this build as intention. Notices how I do not mention any assassin laner in my Matchups guide? Its because this Lulu build is terrible against assassins. With the normal support build Lulu gets alot of bonus HP and also upgrade her utility abilities first WhimsyWhimsy Help, Pix!Help, Pix! , that way she can survive assassinations. If the enemies already pick mid laner assassin, with a jungler assassins, and a top laner assassins, well don't pick AP Lulu or be ready to get *****. 

#4. AP Lulu also works well agains priority mid-pick like Aurelion Sol and Orianna, since she offers more utility on roaming instead of pure damage. 

Lulu

Step-step and Leveling

Early Game

Because Machine Gun Lulu is a counter pick, always use her poke advantages in early skirmish. Lulu clear lane very fast and you can use that to help your jungler on scutler or even gank. Your main job in early game is to poke and poke and keep poking. Denied enemy last hit as much as possible, try to harass and always look to help your allies with your utility abilities. This works best especially against Baron Lane Kennen since her poke could result in outleveling. And even when Kennen has ulti available, Lulu can still poke and survive with her own ult

Mid Game

In this phase, since there will be more teamfight in Neutral Objective, Lulu's job is looking to shove her minion wave to denied Kennen's ult entry. If the team fight still happens with full team, always look at your closest ally to Kennen since he naturally will try to engage with Lightning RushLightning Rush > Slicing MaelstromSlicing Maelstrom when that happen immediately use Help, Pix!Help, Pix! to polymorph him, or Wild GrowthWild Growth if Kennen starts with Slicing MaelstromSlicing Maelstrom >[kennen:3] to make him stay and keep him from engaging your ally. 

Late Game

Still the same as in Mid Game team fight, but this time your GlitterlanceGlitterlance damage is already huge enough to burst anyone that get close.
