You may not realize it but you have seen her work numerous times on the pages of the world’s leading fashion magazines including Vogue, Glamour, Allure, ELLE and Harper's Bazaar. She has worked with designers like Prada, Donna Karan, Moschino, Lancome and Chloe for their advertising campaigns and runway shows.
I don't think there is a famous photographer left that she hasn't worked with (Mario Testino, Patrick Demarchelier and Rankin to name but a few) and her celebrity and model clientele include Kate Moss, Emma Watson, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Cate Blanchet, Liv Tyler, Keira Knightley... the list seems endless.
She has of course appeared on TV as the resident beauty expert on ‘Ten Years Younger – The Challenge’. Lisa Eldridge has a beautiful, award winning website and was the first highly-successful professional make-up artist to create online make-up tutorials for her site and YouTube. Her videos were the first to feature a professional studio white background and lighting, and have become the benchmark for online make-up tutorials.
Her video tutorials are an absolute delight to watch. With all of Lisa's credentials and experience, she is never, ever condescending or patronising, sharing her insider knowledge instead with charm and understanding.
While Lisa's voice is so calm and soothing I could listen to it on a loop, you really can learn a lot about application techniques and, if you wish, how to recreate the various looks she has chosen for her many celebrity clients.
What I probably love most about her is that she makes everyone she works with so very beautiful, she really brings out the best features in a face and very often, when you look at the finished "Look", you actually forget about the make-up and just see a beautiful person. Now that is art.
On my improbable wishlist: Having my make-up done, once, by the wonderful Lisa Eldridge. Or, even better, have Lisa as my BFF. A woman can dream!
Click here and enjoy. Have a lovely Sunday!
