My Makeup Artist Idol - Lisa Eldridge!



Lisa Eldridge



Lisa Eldridge has over 20 years of experience and is one of the most highly regarded make-up artists on the international beauty and fashion circuits. And that is why I love her work! I've spent endless hours watching her youtube tutorials and having a go myself, no matter how good I get at makeup my work will never compare to Lisa's. Her talents have appeared on the pages of virtually every fashion magazine including British, Italian, Chinese and Japanese Vogue, Allure, Glamour, Elle, Numero, Pop and Lula. She has worked with a great list of celebrities including Kate Winslet, Katy Perry, Keira Knightley, Emma Watson, Eva Green, Cameron Diaz, Amanda Seyfried, Kate Moss, Helena Christensen, Cate Blanchet, Demi Moore and Selma Hayek. And she's not stopping anytime soon, thank god!



Kate Winslet's Red Carpet Look By Lisa Eldridge

This image here is a personal favourite of mine, the class of the makeup created here is incredible. If only one person could pull off that shade of lipstick, it's Kate Winslet. This shade cannot go wrong with such a gorgeous minimalistic look, it stands out the exact amount. What catches my eye also is the peachy bronzed glow of her cheek bones, Lisa Eldridge can contour like there's no tomorrow. The eyebrow definition is classy and neat, perfect for a red carpet event. And finally, the minimal eye makeup compliments her dress so so well, over doing the eye makeup is a big no no for such an elegant woman! Overall, if I wore this to an event, I'd be pretty damn happy with how I looked that's for sure! 


Keira Knightley
This is equally a favourite look for an equally classically beautiful lady. This time, Lisa opted for a nude lip so she could focus more on the intricacy of the eye makeup. Firstly, what a lucky woman to have such a fantastic complexion. I'm sure I do not speak alone when I say... jealous!? The warm glow of her cheeks really suggests her 'English Rose' persona. Her eyebrows not too over done, not too forgotten. Simplicity is the key to a look like this! Lisa created a questionably mysterious look about her eyes with the warm brown tones above and beneath them, this really suits her especially because of her chestnut brown hair colour, what a match! And her dress, the combination of the entire look makes Keira look like an elegant winter swan.

It's safe to say, Lisa Eldridge is a genius with the contents of her makeup kit. We can all dream, right!?
What are your thoughts on the 'less is more' makeup theory?
Would you wear this look yourself?
