I worked at Sephora for awhile, and it always irked me when girls that had beautiful skin would wear full coverage foundations. I used to always try to convince girls that they can use something less, but some people refuse to believe that "flawless" can be anything other than completely covering up every bit of your face.
babexrahamlincolnyes I know what you mean ... my idea of 'Flawless' is not that flat, blanket coverage look. I like to still see life, dimension and texture after base and concealer (only without all the actual main blemishes..... if that makes sense) X
Fan girling pretty hard over here. But yes! I know exactly how you feel, gorgeous dimensional skin that looks like SKIN is my ideal kind of base! You're the best
babexrahamlincoln wish I could have a makeover done by you (as sadly never going to have the opportunity to have one done by Lisa), I hate shopping for makeup as no matter which counter I go to I always get given a heavy coverage of foundation when I have acne free skin but just rosacea I'd like to cover up!
I could honestly sit and watch you put makeup on for hours on end. I love the calm manner in which you talk about makeup and it's so soothing. I hope you never stop making these videos for us Lisa because you're such an inspiration for all of us who have concerns about our skin or various makeup techniques. Lots of love to you! :)
Right? She's one of the few beauty gurus that I actually don't mind sitting through the whole thing. She definitely sets a certain "mood" in her videos that makes you want to fully experience it...versus other videos where I just want to get certain information then leave 😅
tubaforeva AGREED. Also, maybe it's just me being weird but I find the little jingles from her jewelry nice and soothing as well. Sometimes I wish I could be famous just so I could have my makeup done by Lisa... she is amazing!
Your approach is so refreshing Lisa. It shocks me how much foundation (& often multiple layers of concealer) some youtubers use, even when they are very young with perfect skin. Much prefer this kind of look & think it's more flattering for ALL skintypes. Liking the look of Cover FX. Nic x
Nic StrawberryBlonde So true. They don't realize how good their skin is, or the mask is like a security blanket. This type of heavy makeup is always on Instagram.
Terri Fleming That Australian girl, Lauren Curtis is terrible for this. There are a lot of 'beauty gurus' on youtube who actually little to no training and just fell into this, and people say they look pretty and perfect when in reality it's a mask, that under daylight (and not camera lights) would likely not look good at all. There are even some gurus who push the 'spider lashes' look... Just no. Lisa Eldridge knows what she is doing, delivers professional tutorials, which beautiful results.
Nic StrawberryBlonde I totally agree with you. I love heavy eye makeup as the next girl does, and I like to have a bold lip too. Although, I sometimes cringe the way some of these girls put on their foundation and concealer. Also, the way their contour looks on them it's like an orange streak. In all honesty, I just enjoy some of their product recommendations or looks when watching some of them.
I wish all these self proclaimed "gurus" here on UA-cam would watch this video. The amount of makeup they use is ridiculous. I love your philosophy about the skin, Lisa. Absolutely beautiful as always.
I just love your approach to makeup and skin. It is so refreshing to find someone who embraces the beauty of natural skin and not covering it with layers of makeup! I would love to see a video using these techniques but for heavily freckled skin (like mine!) It's such a love/hate relationship for me, as sometimes I want to embrace them but sometimes they make me want to cry!! Xxx
I would love this! I have really awful dark circles and I always colour correct them and put a concealer on top but it always ends up looking ashy, especially once I've set it with powder :(
It’s sad how IG & so many YT beauty gurus have impressed upon the younger generation how they should have full coverage foundation and concealer when they don’t even have things to cover on their perfect skin. And if they do have areas that need concealing, they do t understand how caking on high coverage products with a dense brush simply draws the wrong attention to those areas and accentuates the problem, not disguising it. I’m a brand rep in Sephora and am asked constantly for the latest YT/IG trends and it is SO important to focus on technique and how to apply these products in a flattering way as opposed to squeezing out a big dollop of full coverage matte foundation and half a bottle of thick concealer underneath the eyes. Technique & application are literal game changers!
'The Eldridge Technique', I love it! In one of your videos on covering acne I've always recalled your advice since I watched it and now I focus on my problem areas (chin/jaw) and let my 'natural skin' show on my cheeks and forehead etc - it works so much better than just covering my entire face in the same amount of foundation! I always find your videos so professional but accessible at the same time, thank you :)
Have come back to watch this after slowing seeing my makeup technique getting influenced by Instagram heavy makeup looks... I needed this refresher to remind me how to do a perfectly natural base! Thank you Lisa. I wish everyone would watch this video 💕💕
I absolutely love your makeup tutorials. I am not a fan of really heavy makeup, I love a natural finish and while I do have some uneven pigmentation from old acne scars, I think this is definitely the best way to conceal them without a cakey finish. Thanks again for another great video! Would absolutely love to see the under eye concealer one!
You totally reinvented how I put on my foundation and I think you're one of the ONLY makeup artists that truly understand the power in enhancing natural features. Your work is flawless & I adore you.
Lisa, your channel is a treasure. This video is very helpful but please please please make one about under-eye concealing! I'm suffering from very dark circles around my eyes, looking like a tired panda all the time and dreaming to hide this darkness.
Lisa Eldridge: the only person on earth that can make you laugh out loud after adorably correcting herself on "flawlessness". You are just so bubbly, genuine and captivating. All I can say is: Same Lisa, saame.
Even today, four years after I first watched this video, I would love to watch a 3 hour video of you talk about undereye concealer.. or well any & all makeup!! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.. You are amazing!!!
Hi Lisa! I just wanna drop by and say a couple things-- a BIG thank you for all the makeup knowledge you share to everyone of us. Your genuinity and enthusiasm with the art of makeup comes right through our screens without you asking for anything in return. It's so generous of you of not putting up with ads in the beginning of your videos, and your opinions are just so real. That's what sets you apart from everyone-- you're not a puppet of anyone or anything in the business. I hope you stay the same way for a long time. I can't wait to get my hands on your launching book this October. You changed the way how I look at makeup and apply it since. Thank you for making a difference :D
No weekend can really start without a makeup video from you Lisa. You are such an inspiration for all women out there, both when it comes to being a woman and being a business woman ... Thank you!
Love this! I never really wear foundation unless I'm going out myself. What I really struggle with is dark pigmentation under my already deep set eyes, so I really wouldn't mind a 3-hour video all about it! Please?
I love seeing a proper MUA doing their thing. None of this UA-cam culture of full coverage foundation, a ridiculous amount of concealer under the eyes and all over the face. It might look good on a camera but we all know it's too much in real life. Love that you strive to enhance natural beauty :)
Every now and then I rewatch this wonderful video to "cleanse" my brain of the "full coverage" techniques I see in other videos. Go back to the natural-looking skin. This is simply gorgeous.
Thank god I found you when I first started to wear makeup three or four years ago. Due to your influence my makeup philosophy has always been to keep the skin looking as natural as possible, and I want to thank you wholeheartedly for sharing these techniques, so that I will never look back and groan at how caked my skin looked back when I was 13. I have told all my friends about you , and would encourage every young girl starting to experiment with makeup to watch your videos. You truly are a lifesaver xxx
In case you end up doing that "undereye concealer" video, it would be SO helpful if you addressed how to deal with *RED* undereye circles. I'm quite fair and the skin under my eyes is very "translucent", so that pinkish/redish hue shows through! Pinkish correctors will only worsen the probelm(i'm guessing, i haven't tried one) , while yellow and green ones tend to leave a gray cast. I know you are not a magician, and some things just can't be covered completely, but i thought i'd ask since i guess you've come across what i'm describing on models, celebrities etc, so it would be very helpful if you told us how you deal with it. Crossing my fingers you'll see this. And thank you!
Jennifer Fisher Bruises yes! Glad to know that at least i'm not the only one having this issue. Once, in highschool , when i wasn't wearing any concealer , a classmate told me i look like a junkie LOL. I get what he meant :/
Princess Leia I'm olive skinned and quite sallow. Also, my skin is very translucent, I can see reddish/purplish veins in my undereyes, greenish along the upper part of the bridge of the nose and in my jaw :P I usually just use concealer under my eyes and blush (I rarely use foundation, I don't like how it feels on the skin). Whenever I don't put on my makeup (concealer and blush) people think I'm sick, I look very pale, etc.
Princess Leia It made me so happy to read the comments and see that someone else who is pale has red undereye dark circles! I typed it in on Google to try and find advice, but I can never find anyone that has red/brown undereye circles like me :(
Amy J I KNOW!!! I feel the same too! I've googled it and have searched for related videos, advice etc, but i can't seem to find many people who have the same problem. Even though, when i happen to mention it in a comment on youtube there are quite a lot people who agree, so that makes me go : Yesssss i'm not alone, some people get it!
Princess Leia Oh my gosh, I have red undereye circles too! Everyone I know either has bluish or no undereye circles. Mine are horrid, I look like I've been on heroin or something. So glad someone else commented on that issue!
Lisa has changed my makeup life!!! She taught me less is more and my foundation has never looked better! Flawless base, but not cakey or heavy! God bless Lisa lol
I love how you make a lot of videos for more natural looks and how you teach women to take care of their skin which obviously makes for a good base for make up. Also you have a very soothing and pleasant voice. I am a big fan, you are an inspiration x
How come when i try to conceal red marks left by previous acne, the redness goes away but im left with like a dark mark instead of it fully ever being covered, no matter what i do i can never fully cover a scar :/
Steffy Rodriguez You can try using a green-tinted color corrector before concealer in order to cancel out the redness. Another trick is to use a concealer that is slightly darker, just slightly, because it'll conceal the darkness better. Or it might be that you just need a higher coverage concealer for spots, I really recommend the Nars Creamy Concealer, it completely changed my life! (and I have tons of scarring from previous acne haha)
If it's covering the red tone, it's probably heavy/thick enough but maybe try a shade lighter, or mix in a lighter shade to lighten the dark scar. It takes a bit of practise because you don't want to be lighter than the rest of your skin but if blended properly it should work :)
I have watched every video in Lisa Eldridge's makeup series and I believe this may be the best one yet. It truly warrants the label "signature look", and it is one that I will use and adapt for my working life. (33 yrs, lawyer candidate with combination skin that is sensitive and adult acne prone).
If you don't want a long under-eye concealing video, why not do a few shorter videos, each on a specific issue? One for puffy under-eyes, one for wrinkles, one for dark circles...
ever since you did that acne covering video years ago i've been following your technique and i am so grateful for it! my tip for anyone with FRECKLES: whenever my skin's playing up i actually don't use any foundation and go right in with concealer (using zoeva's 223 petit eye blender to apply and sometimes zoeva's 142 concealer buffer to blend). i find that when i cover up my freckles even with only a thin layer of foundation, it just emphasizes the blemishes more, so my overall complexion does in fact look better without foundation.
I adore your makeup videos. By the way, I saw the loveliest wedding video ever on UA-cam by @Kylie Flavell, an amazing wonderful filmmaker who films love letters to Italy, food, travel, cooking, crafting, sewing, and renovating. She is amazing.
You are the Picasso of make-up... I cannot even handle how beautifully you apply products. I'm so in love with makeup, and you make it even more fun to love when you post these videos! Thank you, Lisa! Love from Chicago. xo
And this is why I love you Lisa....I think that you are the best at imparting make up knowledge that will truly enhance the face. I can't wait to read your new book too xxx
Gorgeous as always, I love this technique as I tend to have pigmentation from pimples that take forever to fade. And please please do an under eye concealing video! I've got circles like a raccoon!
THIS is why you're my all-time favorite makeup artist... Since high school, I've been doing the spot concealing trick because it just never made sense to me to cover everything and make it obvious I'm wearing makeup when not everything needs covering. I had bad acne in school and no one knew it because of this technique. It's funny too because I JUST visited Sephora and instead of going crazy, I decided I should just get a great concealer to use with all my different BB creams and bases, and I picked up the Cover FX one you use here. Sorry this is so long! You're just the best. I can't wait for your book :)
This is basically how I've been doing my face for years too. Pinpoint light concealer coverage on any red areas or blemishes. Also NYX primer instead of foundation to cover open pores which I find more natural. Most of my skin is good so I see no point either in covering the good bits in makeup. Great to see you feel the same Lisa as I believe you're far and away the best makeup artist on youtube. Love the light touch you have, so professional.
Lisa can you talk about facial hair and what is the best way to mask/eliminate it. I have very pale skin with dark hair. i have lots of facial hair as "sideburns" but wax my eyebrows and upper lip. should i bleach, wax, or shave my sidehair?
I find myself watching your videos for hours on end! You're absolutely beautiful with or without makeup, your personality is so genuine, your attitude is always positive, and your voice is so calming! Keep it up Lisa I love you!
So beautiful, Lisa :) Can you do a tutorial on what makeup one can use in hot and warm climates during the summer? I am located in Greece and it gets very hot here in the big cities. Thank you :) :)
I have such textured, red and awful skin I can't seem to even out my skin tone. but I love how you tell us how to remove some of the redness. I have about 50% problem skin.
I have learnt from experience that the tool you use to apply your makeup is as important as the product…using hands or even foundation brush are just not ideal, beauty blender is the best tool I have discovered, it makes all the average foundations work wonders, very worthy purchase!
you make people beautiful and yourself are so beautiful. beautiful sentence " embellish the skin" . so poetic. spoken like a true artist. An artist who turns ordinary people into princesses and queens.
Hi Lisa! I love your videos. I was wondering if you'd consider doing a contouring tutorial for people who literally can't find their cheekbones - as in people with very round features? I never know how to apply ANYTHING right when it comes to cheeks - bronzer, contouring powder (which I tend to just skip..), blush, highligner (again, I skip it because I feel like it makes my cheeks look even fuller!) I bugs me so much, because I love playing with makeup :(
I've been getting so many compliments on my skin since using your method of more natural looking foundation. I feel much more comfortable since it is mostly my own skin. Love love love.
What I love about your approach to makeup (outside of editorial/tv, etc) is that it encourages the same ideals Kevyn Aucoin did - your skin will always look the best when it is YOUR skin, not piles and piles of makeup. I have never been comfortable with a mask of foundation and truly appreciate all your information and videos. Thank you Lisa! Brenda, Canada
Sometimes my skin feels so dry and flaky and uneven with discolouration and redness that when I apply foundation, I feel like a zombie...life is not fair :( I have friends who have skin like a baby's butt and they get one pimple and complain about it...
vivelafandom I can relate to you, too. Some days my skin is so weird that when I apply foundation on it its making it look worse. In our case I believe we need to try a lot of products, techniques, chemicals and so on until we find what works best for our skin (in terms of skincare as well as makeup), in order to achieve that flawless looking skin that some women have naturally. After all genes play a huge role. We just have to put more effort than others. :)
I am so glad Im not the only one who feels this way. My skin is so dry and flaky, but I also have a lot of redness I want to cover up - so Im always conflicted between not covering up the redness, or covering it and then have the foundation cling to all my dry patches. But I started using the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum, because Lisa recommended it for dry skin - and its really good, its my holy grail foundation now, because it covers but it doesnt cling to the dry patches as much - maybe it could help you too 😊
vivelafandom I have dry to combination skin and good treatment is essecial for smoothing the skin. I use clinique products: Soap for wash my face, a chemical (soft) exfoliator and a very hydrating cream. You just need to get help to choose the best products for your skin.
Lisa, I loved this video. I have always kept the same foundation and concealer routine since my 20’s and 30’s. I am now 58 and my foundation and concealer look like I have loads on by lunch time. I do touch up’s and it gets even worse. I am going to try your technique this morning. I am pretty new to your channel, I have a lot of videos to catch up even if they are 8 years past, your tips and tricks still hold true today. Thank you Lisa.
Lisa, your technique is awesome. I have hyperpigmentation from old acne and sun tanning, and pin point concealing has been a game changer. I'm amazed at how great my skin looks! Thank you so much, Lisa.
Dear Lisa, I have rosacea on my nose, above my eyebrows and on the entirety of my cheeks, from under my eye down to underneath my jawline. My skin is also dry, so lots of product shows. I cannot spot conceal my redness because there's so much of it - what would you recommend? I am desperate to find the right regime because I can't wear red lipsticks with my red cheeks and my skin tone dictates the colours and looks I can wear. Many thanks x
Make sure you wear very hydrating foundations/concealers. Also I suggest adding in a hydrating serum and/or primer before makeup, since makeup isn't always a miracle worker. Laura Mercier has just come out with a nice hydrating foundation. You could also try Asian bb creams. They have fuller coverage but won't dry out your skin. Missha, SkinFood, etc have great bb creams.
Berni Roach Try using a shade darker in you foundation as this will cancel out redness,and wont sit on top of the skin as much as a lighter shade if you have dry skin-just make sure to blend into your neck and chest with a bronzer.Fake tan (for face) also helps to cancel out the redness.
Berni Roach I use avene Antirougeurs CALM Soothing Mask before making up, even don't rinse it (leave it on) some times because it helps little peeled "skins" to stay put so they don´t show so much. Also like Moisture Surge Extended by Clinique: I use a thick layer and wait a few minutes until it dries before making up; it keeps skin flawless (like a light mask) and fuses with makeup so it doesn´t show up. Then I put make-up using small touches, dabbing it in carefully not to stress my skin any further. I use Cllinique Redness SOlution makeup, it contains Zinc which calms rosacea. Hope this helps :-)
Berni Roach Like you I have rosacea on about 80% of my face and find that a medium coverage yellow based foundation - that you can build in areas that need it - works great. The yellow helps to cancel out the redness.
Lisa you have changed my life! I have a few pimples and red areas and thought that I needed a full-coverage, full-power foundation, but then I thought, I'm only 20, am I going to be covering my face for the rest of my life?! But after watching this and your acne-coverage video, I have realized that I don't need to cover everything up, and that I can use products that won't clog my pores and worsen everything just to cover it up again. I really appreciate your videos and your take on makeup, and I'm sure that my skin will be much more beautiful in the long run because of the tips that you teach us. Thank you :)
I absolutely love your technique. Prior to watching your videos I used to favor full coverage foundations, but now I'm all about wearing more sheer coverage foundations and a bit of concealer only in places I need it. It helps out so much with my oily skin and it looks incredibly natural.
Whatever concealer I use for red spots, it always soaks into the skin and disappears. Any advice? I use drug store cosmetic, because expensive cosmetic is REALY expensive here.
Try dabbing a blob of moisturiser before and letting it soak in, then apply your concealer and your skin should drink up the moisturiser rather than the makeup :):)
Andrea Valentova Try light layering concealer, then powder, then concealer again, finally powder. Do your whole face first w concealer, then second layer, etc. Use thin layers, several light layers are more effective than a unique heavy one.
***** if there's any water in the concealer it most definitely can soak into the skin. I have very dehydrated skin so that often happens to me if I don't moisturize well enough
YES YES YES please do a video on under eye concealing!!! i'm sure lots of people would like to watch! your makeup is simply beautiful, always, i'm so glad i found your channel (years ago) -- your style is just so tasteful and exactly what i like. and it is so nice to get actually useful tips that don't always involve heaps of products! i don't really like to use a lot of makeup, i usually just do the pin point concealing and some mascara and occasionally a bit of liquid blush on a daily basis (not even any powder most of the time) and thanks to your application tips it works better than ever. xo from germany
I do something like this. I mix a tiny dab of concealer with my moisturizer to even my skin tone, and then I touch up any minor imperfections with concealer by itself. To set everything in place, I use a light dusting of mineral makeup. The result is a light, clean finish. I can't stand covering my whole face in heavy makeup. It just looks so fake and feels even worse. I've noticed that in pretty much every foundation tutorial on UA-cam, these women cake on their makeup, and I'm like "NOOOO, that's more product than I'd use for over an entire week! What are you doing!?".
Just watching the first minute and a half and already you tranquilized me. I'm practically "new" to foundation (before I never used a base if not a bit of powder on my skin), and knowing that I don't have to cover all my face with that makes me happy, because I luckily have good skin. But looking at the people on the street, and on the internet, it looks like you have to use a lot of foundation or not use it at all. So, thank you a lot! Watching you video is making me understand more about makeup
How do you cover an oily skin with really open pores? I hardly have any acne because i'm really carefull about keeping my skin clean and not too covered with products... But I find it really difficult to cover my pores on my nose ans around it... Any hope to have a video on this?
musicalmay Really lightweight matte foundation with natural effect ... that doesnt sit in the pores or fill them. Filling open pores with heavy foundation isnt a good idea in my opinion just draws attention and makes your skin look oilier. X
musicalmay Boscia has a product for the T-Zone that is magical for controlling T-Zone oil and minimizes pores at the same time! I highly recommend it :)
musicalmay La Roche Posay makes an amazing mattifying moisturizer that makes your skin look so lovely under foundation. It is specifically designed for oily skin. It is called Effaclar Mat. Use it as a moisturizer and primer. It has helped clear up my skin of blemishes and I dont have to blot every 3 hours anymore. It must make my skin look nice because 4 different guys smiled at me at the gym yesterday!! I won't object to that! :-)
I am re watching this stunning vid and would like to suggest the Dr Jart Disapore bb/cc cream for your pores, an excellent smoothing primer in my opinion, affordable and effective, hope this helps, cheers Suzie.
Hello! I am your Korean fan:) I just wanted to thank you for changing my point of view towards my skin. I have an acne problem so i used to cover all of my face and make-up used to be a stressful and frustrating daily routine. But after watching your video I looked into the mirror and realized that actually 70% of my face still looks fine and flawless. So now I have changed my make up and make up is not a stressful process anymore, I enjoy it now. Plus my skin got way better after getting rid of heavy foundations and thick concealers♥️ Thank you so much. You make me not only 'look' beautiful but also 'feel' beautiful.💕
Oh yes I can't wait for the under eye concealer video. I'm Asian and look like a goddamn panda with how dark my under eyes are. Nothing I use seems to cover them up. I think I have to use an orange concealer first but I'm just confused.
sanzyi7 I'm blessed with no undereye circles, but I know from other youtubers I watch that do have very dark circles that they always talk about using a slightly orangy salmon colored corrector first and then going in with a full coverage concealer. I know emilynoel's favorite is the bobby brown corrector in bisk. I hope this helps somewhat!
sanzyi7 I have those too. Mine skin is quite tan/medium brown. My circles are straight up brown. It's hard to cover, and on top of that, I have lines under there. :|
+sanzyi7 If you haven't seen Jordan Liberty's channel, you might want to take a look. I also have severe dark circles & his tip has helped brighten them up: he recommends a peach/salmon colored (for fair to light skin) corrector first, then concealer that is the SAME shade -- not lighter! -- as your skin tone or one that is just slightly DARKER than your skin tone. If your skin is medium to dark, he recommends using orange corrector. A concealer palette for medium to dark skin with multiple shades would be helpful: you may need to mix more than one shade together. As Lisa always says, I hope this was helpful. It really helped with my circles.
I never liked my face with full foundation on, some parts look ashy no matter what I do. I tried a light flawless look after watching your acne coverage video. It turned out gorgeous. As simple as it may sound, cover just the areas that need it, most makeup tutorials do exactly the opposite. I felt like my skin could never look great with or without makeup because I did not understand that letting the natural glow show makes the skin look a lot more beautiful. Thanks for reinforcing this technique in multiple videos. You are a true makeup 'artist'.
Watching her put on makeup makes me feel normal again. She uses the tiniest amount, and so do I. Watching these twenty year olds put it on with a shovel is discouraging. Haha. And unsightly
I too would absolutely LOVE this type of video for under eye circles. I have a lot of darkness under my eyes and also crevasses that I can never seem to lighten even using full coverage concealer. This was very helpful- thanks!
I know you all love it but I just have to say this. She already has ideal skin so sure, whoever has a perfect skin already doesn't need to put on a ton of coverage. I lot of us have problematic skin that it is NOT so easy to take care of. (So easy to say: take good care of your skin!). And the second thing is that this video has a really bad lightning (why so bright!) and I really really don't see any difference with and without make up and hence I can't see what this technique really does:( Sorry:(
Lisa has a video on her channel specifically about acne/blemish covering. The model she uses has visible blemishes, and Lisa just magically hides it with this technique. Look the video up, i'm sure it'll be here somewhere in the recommendations.
I love your approach in makeup with coaching us to keep our skin looking "real" instead of a mask. I've always held this mindset too, but didn't know the tricks on really how to get there until seeing this video from you so thank you! I am a new subscriber but have watched you for years before i started getting into UA-cam subscriptions and I love how you truly approach makeup as an artist and not just someone "who likes makeup". If you know what i mean? Anyway, I am so excited to check out your book coming out soon and I wish you all the best! You're my favorite makeup teacher--I have learned so much from you and look up to you!!
I love your videos Lisa! To me, you're the most professional make up artist here on UA-cam and I love the way you intend make up like something that should "enhance" our beaty, instead of cover its
I have been watching many of your videos and I have learned SO MUCH about textures of makeup etc. I love that you show on yourself the application but you also explain what you're doing and why. And I love the before and after photos at the end. Your expertise really shows through and I am so thankful you're sharing your knowledge here. I have a whole watch later list on different techniques.
This is honestly the most life changing tutorial I've ever seen! I have my homework cut out for me-looking for my perfect color match in the concealer world. Thank you!!!
I worked at Sephora for awhile, and it always irked me when girls that had beautiful skin would wear full coverage foundations. I used to always try to convince girls that they can use something less, but some people refuse to believe that "flawless" can be anything other than completely covering up every bit of your face.
babexrahamlincolnyes I know what you mean ... my idea of 'Flawless' is not that flat, blanket coverage look. I like to still see life, dimension and texture after base and concealer (only without all the actual main blemishes..... if that makes sense) X
Fan girling pretty hard over here. But yes! I know exactly how you feel, gorgeous dimensional skin that looks like SKIN is my ideal kind of base! You're the best
babexrahamlincoln wish I could have a makeover done by you (as sadly never going to have the opportunity to have one done by Lisa), I hate shopping for makeup as no matter which counter I go to I always get given a heavy coverage of foundation when I have acne free skin but just rosacea I'd like to cover up!
babexrahamlincoln totally agree
babexrahamlincoln My friend has beautiful skin and yet she likes a mask, I don't get it!?!
In terms of talking and teaching, Lisa is the Bob Ross of Makeup :-) I wish I would have discovered her much earlier!
excellent observation 👌
originaljade totally agree!
Can you imagine her talking about enhancing her happy little beauty mark, or this little blemish has an angry neighbor moving in on the chin lol.
My dream is to hire Lisa just to teach me what foundations and concealers are good for my skin tone and type. I'd pay whatever!
Mine too 😭
@Ernest Wilder Beauty Pie 👌🏻
Yes Lisa I definitely would too. You are worth every penny and more. 🥰💕🤗
I could honestly sit and watch you put makeup on for hours on end. I love the calm manner in which you talk about makeup and it's so soothing. I hope you never stop making these videos for us Lisa because you're such an inspiration for all of us who have concerns about our skin or various makeup techniques. Lots of love to you! :)
Right? She's one of the few beauty gurus that I actually don't mind sitting through the whole thing. She definitely sets a certain "mood" in her videos that makes you want to fully experience it...versus other videos where I just want to get certain information then leave 😅
Leira Zetroc LOL I know exactly what you mean! I just love how Lisa's in no hurry and the editing is casual too. Love her videos
tubaforeva Right? What a goddess. Her voice is so soothing and the mood is so relaxing. I feel like I'd fall asleep if I was ever in her chair.
Best UA-cam comment EVER! Lisa has such a calming presence about her. 👍🏻❤️
tubaforeva AGREED. Also, maybe it's just me being weird but I find the little jingles from her jewelry nice and soothing as well. Sometimes I wish I could be famous just so I could have my makeup done by Lisa... she is amazing!
Her voice is so soothing. Sometimes I just play it and listen to her talking when I'm going to bed. Love her!!!!
Me too! I'll put her videos on before going to sleep for relaxation. She would be amazing at guided meditation MP3s. Love her.
Your approach is so refreshing Lisa. It shocks me how much foundation (& often multiple layers of concealer) some youtubers use, even when they are very young with perfect skin. Much prefer this kind of look & think it's more flattering for ALL skintypes.
Liking the look of Cover FX.

Agree with your comment. And Lisa is a true professional makeup artist. She knows better.
👏 Well said! Why would a 23yo? need 3 layers of concealer & full coverage foundation other than just to sell another product?
Nic StrawberryBlonde So true. They don't realize how good their skin is, or the mask is like a security blanket. This type of heavy makeup is always on Instagram.
Terri Fleming That Australian girl, Lauren Curtis is terrible for this. There are a lot of 'beauty gurus' on youtube who actually little to no training and just fell into this, and people say they look pretty and perfect when in reality it's a mask, that under daylight (and not camera lights) would likely not look good at all. There are even some gurus who push the 'spider lashes' look... Just no.
Lisa Eldridge knows what she is doing, delivers professional tutorials, which beautiful results.
Nic StrawberryBlonde I totally agree with you. I love heavy eye makeup as the next girl does, and I like to have a bold lip too. Although, I sometimes cringe the way some of these girls put on their foundation and concealer. Also, the way their contour looks on them it's like an orange streak. In all honesty, I just enjoy some of their product recommendations or looks when watching some of them.
I wish all these self proclaimed "gurus" here on UA-cam would watch this video. The amount of makeup they use is ridiculous. I love your philosophy about the skin, Lisa. Absolutely beautiful as always.
Lisa, you are a life changing person! I define my makeup before and after the house of eldridge! Please do a video for under eye concealer
Laura Vicente Lovely thing to say, thanks X
Yes. This 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I just love your approach to makeup and skin. It is so refreshing to find someone who embraces the beauty of natural skin and not covering it with layers of makeup!
I would love to see a video using these techniques but for heavily freckled skin (like mine!) It's such a love/hate relationship for me, as sometimes I want to embrace them but sometimes they make me want to cry!!
Xxx
WhisperAudios ASMR I would love to see that video, too. I LOVE freckles, to the point where I sometimes draw fake ones on myself.
WhisperAudios ASMR This! It's pretty tricky for us. I tend to go with a BB cream and a creamy concealer around my nose, chin, and undereyes.
She did a tutorial once on a freckled model but I don't remember her being heavily freckled - it's a great video idea!
I like the natural approach to beauty and make up. And I love that you seem so real and down to earth!
please do the under eye concealer video. i have bad dark circle and i never find the best way to hide them :/
littlepurplebee I have the same problem. The struggle is real my friend!
Same. No matter how much sleep I get they are big and purple and I can never mask them completely
littlepurplebee YES!!!! That would be awesome!
littlepurplebee Have you tried color correcting?
I would love this! I have really awful dark circles and I always colour correct them and put a concealer on top but it always ends up looking ashy, especially once I've set it with powder :(
I love your classic & gorgeous approach to make up. Never garish. You are the very best teacher for my 19 y/o daughter or myself!
Lisa Eldridge Your pragmatism towards application, and make up in general is so refreshing.
It’s sad how IG & so many YT beauty gurus have impressed upon the younger generation how they should have full coverage foundation and concealer when they don’t even have things to cover on their perfect skin. And if they do have areas that need concealing, they do t understand how caking on high coverage products with a dense brush simply draws the wrong attention to those areas and accentuates the problem, not disguising it. I’m a brand rep in Sephora and am asked constantly for the latest YT/IG trends and it is SO important to focus on technique and how to apply these products in a flattering way as opposed to squeezing out a big dollop of full coverage matte foundation and half a bottle of thick concealer underneath the eyes. Technique & application are literal game changers!
3 hour under eye canceler video? Bring it on lol I would grab a coffee and blanket and watch the whole thing lol
I’m so there for that
I’m up for it too!
I ALWAYS use this technique on my clients, I'm so glad you share your talent with videos. I've learned so much of my artistry from your teachings!
'The Eldridge Technique', I love it! In one of your videos on covering acne I've always recalled your advice since I watched it and now I focus on my problem areas (chin/jaw) and let my 'natural skin' show on my cheeks and forehead etc - it works so much better than just covering my entire face in the same amount of foundation! I always find your videos so professional but accessible at the same time, thank you :)
Have come back to watch this after slowing seeing my makeup technique getting influenced by Instagram heavy makeup looks... I needed this refresher to remind me how to do a perfectly natural base! Thank you Lisa. I wish everyone would watch this video 💕💕
I absolutely love your makeup tutorials. I am not a fan of really heavy makeup, I love a natural finish and while I do have some uneven pigmentation from old acne scars, I think this is definitely the best way to conceal them without a cakey finish. Thanks again for another great video! Would absolutely love to see the under eye concealer one!
You totally reinvented how I put on my foundation and I think you're one of the ONLY makeup artists that truly understand the power in enhancing natural features. Your work is flawless & I adore you.
Lisa, your channel is a treasure. This video is very helpful but please please please make one about under-eye concealing! I'm suffering from very dark circles around my eyes, looking like a tired panda all the time and dreaming to hide this darkness.
I with you! I would LOVE to see how does it also!
Lisa Eldridge: the only person on earth that can make you laugh out loud after adorably correcting herself on "flawlessness". You are just so bubbly, genuine and captivating. All I can say is: Same Lisa, saame.
This is Lisa's most helpful video ever in my opinion. No other video has the same amount of useful information. I love this so much!
Even today, four years after I first watched this video, I would love to watch a 3 hour video of you talk about undereye concealer.. or well any & all makeup!! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.. You are amazing!!!
Hi Lisa! I just wanna drop by and say a couple things-- a BIG thank you for all the makeup knowledge you share to everyone of us. Your genuinity and enthusiasm with the art of makeup comes right through our screens without you asking for anything in return. It's so generous of you of not putting up with ads in the beginning of your videos, and your opinions are just so real. That's what sets you apart from everyone-- you're not a puppet of anyone or anything in the business. I hope you stay the same way for a long time. I can't wait to get my hands on your launching book this October. You changed the way how I look at makeup and apply it since. Thank you for making a difference :D
No weekend can really start without a makeup video from you Lisa. You are such an inspiration for all women out there, both when it comes to being a woman and being a business woman ...
Thank you!
Love this! I never really wear foundation unless I'm going out myself. What I really struggle with is dark pigmentation under my already deep set eyes, so I really wouldn't mind a 3-hour video all about it! Please?
I love seeing a proper MUA doing their thing. None of this UA-cam culture of full coverage foundation, a ridiculous amount of concealer under the eyes and all over the face. It might look good on a camera but we all know it's too much in real life. Love that you strive to enhance natural beauty :)
please we need that under eye concealer video!!!!.. :) love your work
pinkylittlemama yes definately, and also for mature ladies x
Every now and then I rewatch this wonderful video to "cleanse" my brain of the "full coverage" techniques I see in other videos. Go back to the natural-looking skin. This is simply gorgeous.
Yes, I've learned spot concealing from you and I cannot say how much it has helped me.
Thank god I found you when I first started to wear makeup three or four years ago. Due to your influence my makeup philosophy has always been to keep the skin looking as natural as possible, and I want to thank you wholeheartedly for sharing these techniques, so that I will never look back and groan at how caked my skin looked back when I was 13. I have told all my friends about you , and would encourage every young girl starting to experiment with makeup to watch your videos. You truly are a lifesaver xxx
In case you end up doing that "undereye concealer" video, it would be SO helpful if you addressed how to deal with *RED* undereye circles. I'm quite fair and the skin under my eyes is very "translucent", so that pinkish/redish hue shows through! Pinkish correctors will only worsen the probelm(i'm guessing, i haven't tried one) , while yellow and green ones tend to leave a gray cast. I know you are not a magician, and some things just can't be covered completely, but i thought i'd ask since i guess you've come across what i'm describing on models, celebrities etc, so it would be very helpful if you told us how you deal with it. Crossing my fingers you'll see this. And thank you!
Jennifer Fisher
Bruises yes! Glad to know that at least i'm not the only one having this issue. Once, in highschool , when i wasn't wearing any concealer , a classmate told me i look like a junkie LOL. I get what he meant :/
Princess Leia I'm olive skinned and quite sallow. Also, my skin is very translucent, I can see reddish/purplish veins in my undereyes, greenish along the upper part of the bridge of the nose and in my jaw :P I usually just use concealer under my eyes and blush (I rarely use foundation, I don't like how it feels on the skin). Whenever I don't put on my makeup (concealer and blush) people think I'm sick, I look very pale, etc.
Princess Leia It made me so happy to read the comments and see that someone else who is pale has red undereye dark circles! I typed it in on Google to try and find advice, but I can never find anyone that has red/brown undereye circles like me :(
Amy J
I KNOW!!! I feel the same too! I've googled it and have searched for related videos, advice etc, but i can't seem to find many people who have the same problem. Even though, when i happen to mention it in a comment on youtube there are quite a lot people who agree, so that makes me go : Yesssss i'm not alone, some people get it!
Princess Leia Oh my gosh, I have red undereye circles too! Everyone I know either has bluish or no undereye circles. Mine are horrid, I look like I've been on heroin or something. So glad someone else commented on that issue!
3 hours long?!!!!!!!PLEASE
this is Exactly what i need.i`ve never got bored with you,you`re the best!
love your technique!
Lisa has changed my makeup life!!! She taught me less is more and my foundation has never looked better! Flawless base, but not cakey or heavy! God bless Lisa lol
Just found your channel!!! And omg im in love! Keep the amazing videos up girly ❤️
I love how you make a lot of videos for more natural looks and how you teach women to take care of their skin which obviously makes for a good base for make up. Also you have a very soothing and pleasant voice. I am a big fan, you are an inspiration x
How come when i try to conceal red marks left by previous acne, the redness goes away but im left with like a dark mark instead of it fully ever being covered, no matter what i do i can never fully cover a scar :/
Steffy Rodriguez You can try using a green-tinted color corrector before concealer in order to cancel out the redness. Another trick is to use a concealer that is slightly darker, just slightly, because it'll conceal the darkness better. Or it might be that you just need a higher coverage concealer for spots, I really recommend the Nars Creamy Concealer, it completely changed my life! (and I have tons of scarring from previous acne haha)
Steffy Rodriguez might also be oxidizing. Do you have the same problem with the same concealer, but in other areas?
If it's covering the red tone, it's probably heavy/thick enough but maybe try a shade lighter, or mix in a lighter shade to lighten the dark scar. It takes a bit of practise because you don't want to be lighter than the rest of your skin but if blended properly it should work :)
I have watched every video in Lisa Eldridge's makeup series and I believe this may be the best one yet. It truly warrants the label "signature look", and it is one that I will use and adapt for my working life. (33 yrs, lawyer candidate with combination skin that is sensitive and adult acne prone).
If you don't want a long under-eye concealing video, why not do a few shorter videos, each on a specific issue? One for puffy under-eyes, one for wrinkles, one for dark circles...
ever since you did that acne covering video years ago i've been following your technique and i am so grateful for it!
my tip for anyone with FRECKLES:
whenever my skin's playing up i actually don't use any foundation and go right in with concealer (using zoeva's 223 petit eye blender to apply and sometimes zoeva's 142 concealer buffer to blend). i find that when i cover up my freckles even with only a thin layer of foundation, it just emphasizes the blemishes more, so my overall complexion does in fact look better without foundation.
Please do an undereye concealer video- particularly mature eyes with bags
I adore your makeup videos. By the way, I saw the loveliest wedding video ever on UA-cam by @Kylie Flavell, an amazing wonderful filmmaker who films love letters to Italy, food, travel, cooking, crafting, sewing, and renovating. She is amazing.
Woman, you are absolutely ageless! 🙌 can we just buy your genes? 💜
You are the Picasso of make-up... I cannot even handle how beautifully you apply products. I'm so in love with makeup, and you make it even more fun to love when you post these videos! Thank you, Lisa! Love from Chicago. xo
Please make an under eye concealer tutorial! Oh! W high and low end products!
And this is why I love you Lisa....I think that you are the best at imparting make up knowledge that will truly enhance the face. I can't wait to read your new book too xxx
Julie Spratt Thank you. I hope you will love my make-up history book ..... im excited for it to be released! X
I will stay tuned for the updates on your book, Lisa x
Gorgeous as always, I love this technique as I tend to have pigmentation from pimples that take forever to fade. And please please do an under eye concealing video! I've got circles like a raccoon!
esoteriquefille me too, , the marks left by my blemishes last waaaaay longer than the blemishes themselves x
I love when you do clean makeup, your skin always looks so bright and natural
Your skin is perfect without makeup! Can you do an updated skin care video?
THIS is why you're my all-time favorite makeup artist... Since high school, I've been doing the spot concealing trick because it just never made sense to me to cover everything and make it obvious I'm wearing makeup when not everything needs covering. I had bad acne in school and no one knew it because of this technique. It's funny too because I JUST visited Sephora and instead of going crazy, I decided I should just get a great concealer to use with all my different BB creams and bases, and I picked up the Cover FX one you use here. Sorry this is so long! You're just the best. I can't wait for your book :)
I would really appreciate a video specifically for under eye concealing it's been my bug bear for years
This is basically how I've been doing my face for years too. Pinpoint light concealer coverage on any red areas or blemishes. Also NYX primer instead of foundation to cover open pores which I find more natural. Most of my skin is good so I see no point either in covering the good bits in makeup.
Great to see you feel the same Lisa as I believe you're far and away the best makeup artist on youtube. Love the light touch you have, so professional.
Lisa can you talk about facial hair and what is the best way to mask/eliminate it. I have very pale skin with dark hair. i have lots of facial hair as "sideburns" but wax my eyebrows and upper lip. should i bleach, wax, or shave my sidehair?
I find myself watching your videos for hours on end! You're absolutely beautiful with or without makeup, your personality is so genuine, your attitude is always positive, and your voice is so calming! Keep it up Lisa I love you!
So beautiful, Lisa :)
Can you do a tutorial on what makeup one can use in hot and warm climates during the summer? I am located in Greece and it gets very hot here in the big cities.
Thank you :) :)
I have such textured, red and awful skin I can't seem to even out my skin tone. but I love how you tell us how to remove some of the redness. I have about 50% problem skin.
Please, do the under eye concealing video. Even if it is 3h-long, it would help a lot :p
Especially because it will be 3 hours long :D
Yes, I agree :p I love her videos.
I have learnt from experience that the tool you use to apply your makeup is as important as the product…using hands or even foundation brush are just not ideal, beauty blender is the best tool I have discovered, it makes all the average foundations work wonders, very worthy purchase!
oops, I'm here early! I just dropped everything I was doing as soon as I got the upload notification ^^
Hahaha, same here!
Ju M. Ahahaha me too!
you make people beautiful and yourself are so beautiful. beautiful sentence " embellish the skin" . so poetic. spoken like a true artist. An artist who turns ordinary people into princesses and queens.
Hi Lisa! I love your videos. I was wondering if you'd consider doing a contouring tutorial for people who literally can't find their cheekbones - as in people with very round features? I never know how to apply ANYTHING right when it comes to cheeks - bronzer, contouring powder (which I tend to just skip..), blush, highligner (again, I skip it because I feel like it makes my cheeks look even fuller!) I bugs me so much, because I love playing with makeup :(
I've been getting so many compliments on my skin since using your method of more natural looking foundation. I feel much more comfortable since it is mostly my own skin. Love love love.
I'd love an under eye concealer video cause that's my main concern and I go for more natural skin for the rest of the face.
What I love about your approach to makeup (outside of editorial/tv, etc) is that it encourages the same ideals Kevyn Aucoin did - your skin will always look the best when it is YOUR skin, not piles and piles of makeup.
I have never been comfortable with a mask of foundation and truly appreciate all your information and videos. Thank you Lisa!
Brenda, Canada
hey Lisa
Lisa Eldridge
I love that your videos are so refreshing. They are informative but not fluffed up and are very honest.
Sometimes my skin feels so dry and flaky and uneven with discolouration and redness that when I apply foundation, I feel like a zombie...life is not fair :( I have friends who have skin like a baby's butt and they get one pimple and complain about it...
vivelafandom I'm with you, sister!
vivelafandom I can relate to you, too. Some days my skin is so weird that when I apply foundation on it its making it look worse. In our case I believe we need to try a lot of products, techniques, chemicals and so on until we find what works best for our skin (in terms of skincare as well as makeup), in order to achieve that flawless looking skin that some women have naturally. After all genes play a huge role. We just have to put more effort than others. :)
I am so glad Im not the only one who feels this way. My skin is so dry and flaky, but I also have a lot of redness I want to cover up - so Im always conflicted between not covering up the redness, or covering it and then have the foundation cling to all my dry patches. But I started using the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum, because Lisa recommended it for dry skin - and its really good, its my holy grail foundation now, because it covers but it doesnt cling to the dry patches as much - maybe it could help you too 😊
vivelafandom I have dry to combination skin and good treatment is essecial for smoothing the skin. I use clinique products: Soap for wash my face, a chemical (soft) exfoliator and a very hydrating cream.
You just need to get help to choose the best products for your skin.
ilovegerda ok thanks for the reocmmendation i will try it...never used bourjous products before :)
Lisa, I loved this video. I have always kept the same foundation and concealer routine since my 20’s and 30’s. I am now 58 and my foundation and concealer look like I have loads on by lunch time. I do touch up’s and it gets even worse. I am going to try your technique this morning. I am pretty new to your channel, I have a lot of videos to catch up even if they are 8 years past, your tips and tricks still hold true today. Thank you Lisa.
Please do the under eye concealer video, I don't mind if it's 3 hours :-) xxx
Lisa, your technique is awesome. I have hyperpigmentation from old acne and sun tanning, and pin point concealing has been a game changer. I'm amazed at how great my skin looks! Thank you so much, Lisa.
Dear Lisa,
I have rosacea on my nose, above my eyebrows and on the entirety of my cheeks, from under my eye down to underneath my jawline. My skin is also dry, so lots of product shows. I cannot spot conceal my redness because there's so much of it - what would you recommend? I am desperate to find the right regime because I can't wear red lipsticks with my red cheeks and my skin tone dictates the colours and looks I can wear. Many thanks x
Berni Roach She recently made a video on how to cover rosacea! :)
Make sure you wear very hydrating foundations/concealers. Also I suggest adding in a hydrating serum and/or primer before makeup, since makeup isn't always a miracle worker. Laura Mercier has just come out with a nice hydrating foundation. You could also try Asian bb creams. They have fuller coverage but won't dry out your skin. Missha, SkinFood, etc have great bb creams.
Berni Roach Try using a shade darker in you foundation as this will cancel out redness,and wont sit on top of the skin as much as a lighter shade if you have dry skin-just make sure to blend into your neck and chest with a bronzer.Fake tan (for face) also helps to cancel out the redness.
Berni Roach I use avene Antirougeurs CALM Soothing Mask before making up, even don't rinse it (leave it on) some times because it helps little peeled "skins" to stay put so they don´t show so much. Also like Moisture Surge Extended by Clinique: I use a thick layer and wait a few minutes until it dries before making up; it keeps skin flawless (like a light mask) and fuses with makeup so it doesn´t show up. Then I put make-up using small touches, dabbing it in carefully not to stress my skin any further. I use Cllinique Redness SOlution makeup, it contains Zinc which calms rosacea. Hope this helps :-)
Berni Roach Like you I have rosacea on about 80% of my face and find that a medium coverage yellow based foundation - that you can build in areas that need it - works great. The yellow helps to cancel out the redness.
Lisa you have changed my life! I have a few pimples and red areas and thought that I needed a full-coverage, full-power foundation, but then I thought, I'm only 20, am I going to be covering my face for the rest of my life?! But after watching this and your acne-coverage video, I have realized that I don't need to cover everything up, and that I can use products that won't clog my pores and worsen everything just to cover it up again. I really appreciate your videos and your take on makeup, and I'm sure that my skin will be much more beautiful in the long run because of the tips that you teach us. Thank you :)
I would love an under eye concealer video! I'm 48 and nothing I do keeps the wrinkles from showing
Fingers Polish Mania face exercises...works for me...began 4 weeks ago and ppl are noticing...thought I'd share
I absolutely love your technique. Prior to watching your videos I used to favor full coverage foundations, but now I'm all about wearing more sheer coverage foundations and a bit of concealer only in places I need it. It helps out so much with my oily skin and it looks incredibly natural.
Whatever concealer I use for red spots, it always soaks into the skin and disappears. Any advice? I use drug store cosmetic, because expensive cosmetic is REALY expensive here.
Try dabbing a blob of moisturiser before and letting it soak in, then apply your concealer and your skin should drink up the moisturiser rather than the makeup :):)
Andrea Valentova Try light layering concealer, then powder, then concealer again, finally powder. Do your whole face first w concealer, then second layer, etc. Use thin layers, several light layers are more effective than a unique heavy one.
use a green colour corrector on your spot before applying concealer
***** if there's any water in the concealer it most definitely can soak into the skin. I have very dehydrated skin so that often happens to me if I don't moisturize well enough
I have very oily skin. :(
YES YES YES please do a video on under eye concealing!!! i'm sure lots of people would like to watch!
your makeup is simply beautiful, always, i'm so glad i found your channel (years ago) -- your style is just so tasteful and exactly what i like. and it is so nice to get actually useful tips that don't always involve heaps of products! i don't really like to use a lot of makeup, i usually just do the pin point concealing and some mascara and occasionally a bit of liquid blush on a daily basis (not even any powder most of the time) and thanks to your application tips it works better than ever.
xo from germany
I do something like this. I mix a tiny dab of concealer with my moisturizer to even my skin tone, and then I touch up any minor imperfections with concealer by itself. To set everything in place, I use a light dusting of mineral makeup. The result is a light, clean finish. I can't stand covering my whole face in heavy makeup. It just looks so fake and feels even worse. I've noticed that in pretty much every foundation tutorial on UA-cam, these women cake on their makeup, and I'm like "NOOOO, that's more product than I'd use for over an entire week! What are you doing!?".
Just watching the first minute and a half and already you tranquilized me.
I'm practically "new" to foundation (before I never used a base if not a bit of powder on my skin), and knowing that I don't have to cover all my face with that makes me happy, because I luckily have good skin. But looking at the people on the street, and on the internet, it looks like you have to use a lot of foundation or not use it at all.
So, thank you a lot! Watching you video is making me understand more about makeup
How do you cover an oily skin with really open pores? I hardly have any acne because i'm really carefull about keeping my skin clean and not too covered with products... But I find it really difficult to cover my pores on my nose ans around it... Any hope to have a video on this?
musicalmay Really lightweight matte foundation with natural effect ... that doesnt sit in the pores or fill them. Filling open pores with heavy foundation isnt a good idea in my opinion just draws attention and makes your skin look oilier. X
musicalmay Boscia has a product for the T-Zone that is magical for controlling T-Zone oil and minimizes pores at the same time! I highly recommend it :)
musicalmay La Roche Posay makes an amazing mattifying moisturizer that makes your skin look so lovely under foundation. It is specifically designed for oily skin. It is called Effaclar Mat. Use it as a moisturizer and primer. It has helped clear up my skin of blemishes and I dont have to blot every 3 hours anymore. It must make my skin look nice because 4 different guys smiled at me at the gym yesterday!! I won't object to that! :-)
I am re watching this stunning vid and would like to suggest the Dr Jart Disapore bb/cc cream for your pores, an excellent smoothing primer in my opinion, affordable and effective, hope this helps, cheers Suzie.
Hello! I am your Korean fan:) I just wanted to thank you for changing my point of view towards my skin. I have an acne problem so i used to cover all of my face and make-up used to be a stressful and frustrating daily routine. But after watching your video I looked into the mirror and realized that actually 70% of my face still looks fine and flawless. So now I have changed my make up and make up is not a stressful process anymore, I enjoy it now. Plus my skin got way better after getting rid of heavy foundations and thick concealers♥️ Thank you so much. You make me not only 'look' beautiful but also 'feel' beautiful.💕
Oh yes I can't wait for the under eye concealer video. I'm Asian and look like a goddamn panda with how dark my under eyes are. Nothing I use seems to cover them up. I think I have to use an orange concealer first but I'm just confused.
sanzyi7 I'm blessed with no undereye circles, but I know from other youtubers I watch that do have very dark circles that they always talk about using a slightly orangy salmon colored corrector first and then going in with a full coverage concealer. I know emilynoel's favorite is the bobby brown corrector in bisk. I hope this helps somewhat!
sanzyi7 Same problem!
+Josha Curlie yeah the shade is 'bisque' haha
sanzyi7 I have those too. Mine skin is quite tan/medium brown. My circles are straight up brown. It's hard to cover, and on top of that, I have lines under there. :|
+sanzyi7 If you haven't seen Jordan Liberty's channel, you might want to take a look. I also have severe dark circles & his tip has helped brighten them up: he recommends a peach/salmon colored (for fair to light skin) corrector first, then concealer that is the SAME shade -- not lighter! -- as your skin tone or one that is just slightly DARKER than your skin tone. If your skin is medium to dark, he recommends using orange corrector. A concealer palette for medium to dark skin with multiple shades would be helpful: you may need to mix more than one shade together. As Lisa always says, I hope this was helpful. It really helped with my circles.
I never liked my face with full foundation on, some parts look ashy no matter what I do. I tried a light flawless look after watching your acne coverage video. It turned out gorgeous. As simple as it may sound, cover just the areas that need it, most makeup tutorials do exactly the opposite. I felt like my skin could never look great with or without makeup because I did not understand that letting the natural glow show makes the skin look a lot more beautiful. Thanks for reinforcing this technique in multiple videos. You are a true makeup 'artist'.
Okaaayyy... So I thought that you have foundation already at the beginning of the video... jealous ;_;
Undereye concealer video please!! Love your videos and your makeup style. Another informative video thank you!
Watching her put on makeup makes me feel normal again. She uses the tiniest amount, and so do I. Watching these twenty year olds put it on with a shovel is discouraging. Haha. And unsightly
Your natural beauty shines through! This is what makeup should be used for.
How to get flawless skin- step 1 already have flawless skin 😩
Lol right? So true haha
True. Lisa mentions always that you should focus on skincare more rather than makeup :)
I too would absolutely LOVE this type of video for under eye circles. I have a lot of darkness under my eyes and also crevasses that I can never seem to lighten even using full coverage concealer. This was very helpful- thanks!
Is it only
Me who thought her skin was flawless before hand?
"Embellish skin" what a lovely phrase. Such a fantastic philosophy Lisa, loved this video x
I know you all love it but I just have to say this. She already has ideal skin so sure, whoever has a perfect skin already doesn't need to put on a ton of coverage. I lot of us have problematic skin that it is NOT so easy to take care of. (So easy to say: take good care of your skin!). And the second thing is that this video has a really bad lightning (why so bright!) and I really really don't see any difference with and without make up and hence I can't see what this technique really does:( Sorry:(
Lisa has a video on her channel specifically about acne/blemish covering. The model she uses has visible blemishes, and Lisa just magically hides it with this technique. Look the video up, i'm sure it'll be here somewhere in the recommendations.
Lisa's done videos on acne coverage and redness/rosacea using this technique. The videos are on her channel.
I love your approach in makeup with coaching us to keep our skin looking "real" instead of a mask. I've always held this mindset too, but didn't know the tricks on really how to get there until seeing this video from you so thank you! I am a new subscriber but have watched you for years before i started getting into UA-cam subscriptions and I love how you truly approach makeup as an artist and not just someone "who likes makeup". If you know what i mean? Anyway, I am so excited to check out your book coming out soon and I wish you all the best!
