I absolutely love the remark you made about your uneven eyebrows being “part of the character of [your] face”! My eyebrows, far from being sisters, don’t even look related. Lately I’ve felt very self conscious about the asymmetry in my face, particularly my eyebrows and the fact that one eye is more hooded and sits lower than the other. But that idea of its being character rather than imperfection is really helping my perspective honestly!
@@ShadowOnALeash i use eyeshadows w an angled liner or brow brush ..i act as if its liner to do my eyes. Ive never been able to do eyeliners i do use dark liner on my top water line up under my top lashes tho
Thank you you for talking about the particular issues with anxiety some of us are experiencing right now. It's always therapeutic watching your videos. Inspirational as usual. Always love every makeup you do. 💜
@@LisaEldridge Hola lovely Lisa, at home when can’t sleep I read your book, love looking at the pictures on it. If I am driving I hear the Marilyn Monroe makeup vídeo just to hear how you tell the history ❤️
I felt I was the only one, so nice to know others feel the same. I think of it more as a nest and not necessarily being antisocial as much as being content.
This is exactly the time when our makeup becomes our ‘war-paint’. We can take on anything with that confidence boosting time with our brushes and colours. A beautiful soft yet glamorous look, Lisa. Thank you.
I really wish she used more of modern and new makeup. Especially because of her talent and sense for products and beauty. It would be great to hear her opinion
I hear you. My 'outside' social skills have got rusty and till I went out and just did it I was unsure if those skills still existed! So a lot of 'faking it till making it' going on here in Dublin too. Hugs! I've worn a touch of make up everyday during a long, long medically necessary lockdown and as soon as I put on my cherry red lip my soul is cheered.
Hi Lisa! My god, I’m from Japan but I always feel close to you whenever watching your video. Thank you for being honest, generous and uplifting always. I almost forgot what was the feel like wear makeup these days. I decide to wear little eyeshadow tomorrow! Thank you and love you! Big hug from Tokyo:)
So, so relatable Lisa. Going out into the world again after so much happening does feel quite daunting. The other day I was late and I decided to brighten myself up by wearing Velvet Ribbon. Compliments galore! I had the biggest smile all day.
Just talked about this with friends today. I always felt slightly uncomfortable during social occasions. And me having several chronic illnesses and being exhausted easily, i almost felt as if the way we have been living the past year and a half was a blessing. Being at home a lot, working from home had resulted in me having more energy. Only socialising with my inner circle had also eliminated the pressure from social gatherings. Going back to ‘normal’ scares me. Being in my safe bubble for so long i felt so peaceful.
right i felt it was blessing as well!!! for once in my life it was okay to be the hermit that i am.. people used to say "she never goes outside" while i was in high school lol
I love how completely honest and authentic you are Lisa! For you to talk about your feelings in the intro with regards to going out of your comfort zone etc is so relatable and so nice to know that a master makeup artist, business owner and entrepreneur such as yourself feels just like the rest of us! Just when I thought I couldn't admire your anymore Lisa 😙♥️🙏💋
Doing my makeup before I put on my Nurse scrubs is so therapeutic. What I think a lot of people dont realize is, my patients tell me how much they appreciate it. They're stuck in a hospital room and seeing the beautiful face of nurses that put in the effort lifts them up too! ❤️
This week, I finally got to have lunch in-person at my husband’s restaurant; he’s a chef. I’d nearly forgotten how to make up! I put on my Velvet Dragon and the rest fell into place. I felt confident and proud to meet his staff. Thank you Lisa. This video is timely! You’re such a class act and I truly respect you. 🙏🏼
It’s comforting to know that even a woman as beautiful, elegant, intelligent, and accomplished as you can have confidence problems. I’m quite an introvert, so going out in the world again is difficult, although of course I’m very eager for the pandemic to end (as much as it can, with all the people in my country who refuse to get vaccinated). I’m sure you will do brilliantly at your event.
I had to start doing vocal warm ups even though I'm not a singer! I'd just not been using my voice as much this past year, and recently I noticed my throat would start to feel strained if I talked for more than a few minutes! Kind of crazy how quickly the body picks up on habits and adjusts accordingly.
I physically felt that way after my 2 weeks isolation period due to Covid ( I had it some 4 months ago ) . During my first " go out "day I had an impression to be reborn .
To hear you talk about your personal struggles gives me a huge sigh of relief, I felt like I was being over dramatic or possibly overly sensitive about returning to society after almost 1.5 years later. It feels like the Twilight Zone, doesn’t it? Never in my life did I think this would happen, but it took us a year and a half to get here. So I think we need to give ourselves some grace in getting readjusted in good time. Love you & your work, per always. Thank you for being a bright light in a seemingly dark world.
I love this. I’ve just turned 42, and I’m starting a makeup artistry course at college next month and I’m absolutely terrified. Not least because I’ll likely be the “Granny” of the class. I’ve been a carer for the last few years and getting back out there is really big. And being at home all the time in the last year didn’t help, so I really felt everything you said in your intro. Being able to present yourself with makeup exactly how you want it really helps me. It’s like my brave mask.
I totally understand you, as I’m myself 48 years old and changing career as well. I admire and applaud you for being so brave, it takes a lot of courage to start again. Go for it girl!
I started watching your videos so I could learn to do my own wedding makeup - and yesterday was our ten year anniversary! I'm so impressed and glad that you've kept up your beautiful content for so long!
My uni is switching back to face-to-face mode in September so this video is perfect! I think it’s still gonna be a long process readjusting to “normal life” and social situations but I really like the ritualistic aspect of makeup to ease me into it
I work in a supermarket so I’ve still got the bus and gone to work all throughout the pandemic so things don’t feel too much different to me. I feel lucky in the sense I’ve still had the interaction and social aspect of work seeing colleagues and customers to be fair. I do feel for those who have been shielding and isolating for so long especially those who have had to do it alone it must have been really hard. On another note your velvet lipsticks have been something of a gift as I put it on each morning even tho nobody can see it but me 😂 it’s such a treat when I would go to the loo and see my Velvet Beauty, myth or muse still holding up under my mask 😁 x
Soooo thankful for the grocery and other store essential workers. THANK YOU, for hanging in there, and I love knowing that you did it with lux lipstick under the mask! Brava to YOU!
I always think ‘she’s going for really minimal makeup this time’ as you hardly do anything bold but then you do the before and after and it’s a massive difference. Such artistry.
Best title ever, Lisa. This is a great subject. It's a life-changing sentence once one understands it fully. It is not about falseness, but moving (the energy) forward while there is not quite 'A forward' yet, but once you keep going, there will be. Anxiety is something that hits you in 'waves' and you must keep bringing yourself back into the NOW 600 times a day if need to. This is also the primary principle for healing and/or not to allow oneself falling into depression = into a sea of THOUGHTS. Every thought has a frequency = which produces a FEELING. One must recognize this process and stand up right away when you feel it begin. I notice that ACTION helps. Just stand up and start doing something, anything. There is no magic pill. It is about getting CONSCIOUS of it. One just stays focused, keeping oneself *in the present the moment as much as possible* (instead of fading away) and once this *catches momentum,* the wheel starts turning. Easier said than done, I'd agree... but one just has to keep going. We often refer to it as 'hang in there', - which is why the phrase: *fake it 'til you make it.* Extremely accurate I find.. ♡♡♡ xx..
I have had to fake it 'till make it, for 27 years now!! Yes. Most of the time anyway, and why not?! I find it helps with most people I'll come across in meetings and ... BUT believe it or not, some of the people judged me for it!!! " How could she be having such hard times and looking the way she does"?! Sigh. Never mind I will do anything that makes me feel good going back out there
I feel what you felt, Lisa. Thank you for saying it out loud. I am an introvert and tbh these past 2 years, although overwhelmed by worry and fear, have been such a comfort zone for me. Teaching from home has been a blessing since i can save money for gas, time, etc, but just having to work in your own 'zone' is so comfortable. Although i am slightly relieved that the pandemic is coming hopefully to an end, i do wonder what my life would/could be in the future after all this... I don't feel I have what it takes to 'rejoin' the old world because somehow I found my world in this time of tragedy.. Anyhow, love your video as always ❤️❤️
So true about social skills. I have refused a couple of invites as I didn't feel ready to talk to 'other people' earlier this year. And I love the look 👄👁😍. I have said to myself no more new palettes for this year but that Temptalia one is gorgeous! Great video as always Lisa 👍xx
Thank you thank you for this wonderful video. I love love make-up, I'm 70 and and my mom taught me that when she was down, she sat down and did her makeup. I do my makeup even cleaning house, wearing earings and it perks me up. My family can tell when I'm off, I.havent my " dress up " face on ( but always lipstick!!) This is why I love makeup because " I'm loving me " while doing it, I'm saying " I'm special" during lockdown I even wore a hat etc. 😂😂 and my nails ... and my beautul long white hair. I've been doing my makeup for 50yrs now and it's a gift to myself. Lots of love from South Africa.
Thank you for your professional commonsense skills, technique and advice. If I see one more under-30 youtuber with the wrong colour foundation (too yellow or orange thinking its giving a healthy glow) I'll scream.
Taking some time to do makeup is completely cathartic. I used to do my makeup nearly every day and over the last 3 years I’ve worn makeup less than 5 times. It’s sad giving up something you love and that makes you feel better… I just bought a new foundation the other day so I can get back into it. Will definitely be picking up your elevated glow highlighter as well! Thank you for this video, Lisa! This really speaks to me 💕
I have always loved makeup and wear it most days but since I’ve retired my days are less structured (to say the least). However since buying eyeshadow palettes I look forward to experimenting with them every (well, most) days. It’s an expensive habit but it keeps me motivated.
I also lost my lashes and brows, secondary to cancer treatment, and they remain exceptionally sparse. I also had two strokes such that I had great difficulty recreating eyebrows daily. I ended up getting an excellent microblading and thin eyelid enhancement for my lash line. It has cut so much time off the day, and I feel so much better about myself. The other techniques Lisa uses are so useful, and I love learning the correct way. It is all about self esteem and loving yourself. Thank you, Lisa. ❣️
So happy to see you again! You remind me of one of my favorites, Catherine Deneuve! A natural Beauty! With an assist from makeup, Always! You Are Ready to FACE the World!!! 🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️
Hi Lisa, I love the authenticity of your videos. I wondered if you would do a video aimed at women in their late 30s early 40s who are brand new to make up and want to get the basics right. I was blessed with strong features and nice even skin in my youth and honestly have never felt the need or desire to wear make up before now (plus had a heavy dose of patriarchal father-induced judgment against it which I had to grow out of). As I'm getting a bit older, I've discovered the FUN in femininity and playing with make-up and also that my skin is less even than it used to be and is starting to droop a bit in places. I'd like to learn how to use make up but I have no idea where to start. So many make up artists start WAY beyond where I am and I wondered if you would consider doing a "desert island, you can only bring 5 essential basic products and 3 essential brushes" video, for those of us on a budget, but like doing things "rights," and excited to start to learn? Thanks for considering it! :D
For me, it is a good red/ brick red lipstick which does wonders to my confidence. And you are the queen of red lipstick. I have yours, and I don't need anymore. Thank you
How refreshing to hear you talking about the slight anxiety of face-to-face meeting. I admire your honestly. A naturally beautiful look. Thank you so much.
I was so excited to go to an actual wedding with 200 strangers! Just being around lots of happy people squashed any social anxiety that I had and I was a social butterfly 🦋😊
Transitioning back to the in-person world I find I’m using less makeup. I love makeup and the process of applying it. I will never go without in a social setting but maybe I’ve gotten used to seeing myself with less. You are beautiful with or without! 🎨
This video is literally a public service! Honestly the best half an hour I've spent this week. You've made me feel much better about my own similar anxieties, as well as my devotion to makeup! Thanks Lisa xx
I was excited to see a Sydney Grace palette in your video! I hope you’re enjoying it. I don’t have any of the Temptalia palettes but do have plenty of other things from SG and honestly they’re my favorite. Just ordered some mystery bags from their sale today!
Hello Lisa! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I've learned so many techniques watching your videos and everything you do with with an expert and thoughtful touch. My husband and I now make a point of going out to dinner or somewhere special on Saturday night because I can take the time to do my makeup, practice new things I've learned, and then go on a "date"! The eyes are my favorite!
This is perfect timing for me. I'm an elementary school teacher about to head back into classroom. I need some inspiration and encouraging words. You're the best!
Your tip about adding a wash of color under the eyes to help mascara along the lower lashline 🤯 ... totally giving this a try! Also, I second the thought about not going in with new makeup for this kind of situation. Tried and true products never fail! 😊 I always look forward to your videos, Lisa! 💖
Thank you 🌺. May I make suggestions for future videos? Would love for you to address asymmetry in faces a bit more. Sometimes a fuller cheek on one side reflects light differently or the eyelid real estate is much different, etc. i find sometimes makeup accentuates the asymmetry. Would love your take. Also, crepey under eyes and lip line solutions for older women in mid life (think 50’s not 70’s). Adore everything you do!
Thank you Lisa for bringing makeup back to my life. I had totally given up on makeup- skincare and sunscreen and perhaps a lip gloss was what I had got down to. Now, seeing you, I am getting interested again. I have changed. I am not going to binge buying makeup as before, but I am going to try to finish what I already have. Also, I have decluttered makeup, and thrown out the ones which I have had since ages. Now I have just a few makeup products, 2or 3 in every section.. which I think look best on me, and things I ise the most. Thank you Lisa
My daughter used to worked at many events before she joined SIA as a cabin crew. She used to use a lot of make up and has many pairs of shoes just for many events styles requirement. I remembered waiting for her to finish her job at many locations in my car and sometimes at coffee shops nearby her event locations. Always enjoy her stories of meeting different people from different events she were hired for too.
I Love how you talk about makeup you take the "vapidness" out of it and connect it to the mental part it is uplifting and confidence boosting to put on makeup we dont talk enough about the positive effect it can have on our confidence because we dont want to seem like we need it to feel confident.
As an Australian, I’m so jealous of you right now! While you guys are coming out, we’re going back in. But your videos have always brought me so much comfort, much love ❤️
After not going to any social events for 18 months I found myself with 2 invitations to go out for meals this week. Even though it was with friends i found myself looking for excuses not to go. I felt such anxiety about having to mix with people - I had no idea what I should wear and my wardrobe seemed sadly lacking. I went to both meals and did enjoy myself but am relieved they are both behind me. Its comforting to know that even lisa Eldridge feels apprehensive about getting back into the real world. Thanks lisa for sharing this xx
Feeling yucky working in my pajamas and then Lisa comes on so I listened and did exactly what she did, faked it, even in pajamas. Lisa you are my hero xx
I absolutely love this look Lisa. You look so much more confident. I struggle a lot with anxiety and self esteem. I love how you have used just 2 eyeshadow colours and the impact it has given. I find eyeshadow difficult as I have very hooded and downturned eyes. I also have quite deep lines under my eyes and the skin moves a lot around the whole eye area. Thank you so much for sharing these tips, I will definitely be trying some of these methods. You are so lovely and natural. Thank you for being you xx
I don’t think it’s needing to wear makeup, I just love the ritual of using it, and it definitely makes me feel better, not scaring people as I start my day out in the world again xxx
I’ve been loving filling the root of my lash line recently, don’t know why but it makes me look more “together”. And now Lisa confirmed that it’s an actual trick and I’m sooooooooo happy! Love your look!
Best wishes for a successful event. This really resonated with me, I feel very out of practice of presenting myself publicly. Even wearing a mask has provided some 'privacy' when out in public.
Thank you for recognizing the issues of anxiety, concern for going out (if it's really worth the risk) and the overall thought process of leaving home in a pandemic. This is completely normal and natural to feel a bit of concern and we all should pause, assess and stay safe. Keep wearing our masks.
👋 Lisa, I haven't worn make-up for around 3-4 years due to the fact that I'm almost always housebound due to mobility, chronic pain and health reasons. I put on weight and was gradually losing my hair so my whole confidence was down the drain 😪 I went from being a sociable, healthy, tall slimish woman in her early 40's who wore full face make up and loved having different hairstyles to the complete opposite. I've just recently been diagnosed with Alopecia and have been offered the choice of 2 synthetic or 1 human hair wig so that's one boost and also have been provided with an electric wheelchair which hopefully will encourage me to venture out for walks with my hubby, family and our dog Tara. The only thing is I've no idea how to colour match my skin to a foundation and concealer. I am so white with really puffy dark undereye and purple hooded eyes and various skin blemishes like broken capillaries to dimpling of my chin..... So if you see this please HELP. It would be so much appreciated 💐💐 Ps I have been trying too look after my skin with face cleansers/ hyaluronic toner/ under eye depuff and help colour fade cream/ hyaluronic serum-cream and moisturiser if nessasary!!
One of the most helpful things I have learned from Lisa is to let the makeup sink in, settle and then to go back in to do any touch up/adjustments as needed! I have quite dark circles along with the tear troth indentation shadow and giving my makeup time to sit while I do something else (like my hair) then going back in and tweaking the area with another layer or different shading has made such a huge difference!! I want to thank Lisa for all the tips and tricks she has taught us over the years!!!! My makeup... correction I have never looked better & felt more confident about my makeup then ever before!! Thank you Lisa!!
Ahh you’re motivating me to “bring it” this week and put more effort in. I’ve felt uncomfortable in my body after more than a year of zoom and loungewear-nevermind social anxiety seems magnified 10x now. I so appreciate your gentle empathy and how you relate to people. 💜 from San Francisco
Gorgeous as always and watched this whilst sipping on my tea. Didn’t feel the need to do anything special on a cold and wet summer day as this video brought me joy
Lisa! I was SO excited to see you on the latest Glow Up finale! I truly admired your gentle way of giving feedback to the contestants! You were awesome! 💜💜💜
I love this look! When I think of having to go back to the office, I wonder if I'll even remember the routine. I am excited and reluctant all at the same time, but we must move forward - and of course with a fabulous face. Thank you as always. 😘
Such a beautiful look! I never realized how much green you had in your eyes. I think the purple eyeshadow really brought out the color! So very pretty 😍 💗
This is to timely and I can definitely relate to feeling a bit nervous to go back to the office and having to get dressed up everyday. You're such an inspiration and mood boost, thank you Lisa!
I love that you mentioned applying concealer after doing all your makeup! As I age, I've noticed my under eyes are darker and more sunken but only notice it once I do my whole makeup. It's interesting to see other people's process and order of applying makeup, especially from people soooo talented!
I just marvel at your delicate skilled application of your makeup which gives such an impeccable understated chic and classy look. Also, you use both hands to apply your makeup which shows enormous skill and practice. I shudder to think what my makeup would look like if I did the same.
Lovely, fresh look, Lisa … perhaps we are just feeling a little insecure 😕, and makeup certainly helps with our diminished confidence in facing world in person again. Thank you for all your tutorials. They’ve helped a lot! XO from 🇨🇦
Hi Lisa thank you for sharing your "fragility"... I see you as a very confident woman and your openness makes my insecurity more normal. I do feel makeup is a cathartic moment for me... I always say that makeup is a perfect "dress" that fits all sizes 😊. Best of luck xx
Oh Lisa! This has come at the perfect time. I was just talking to my mum about how I'm feeling really ugly lately and that I am not my usual self. Like I can't re-emerge into society just yet? Thank you for the tutorial and for talking us through it
This pandemic has triggered my mental heath and social anxiety, I have become really insecure that when a social event presents itself I don´t know what to do anymore, stunning look Lisa, thanks for you words!
This is such a versatile look, it is the kind of makeup I tend to do on brides who do not want to look too ‘extra’ on their special day: timeless, beautiful makeup that looks great on camera and also in person! Love how you explain everything, been following you since forever🤍
You are the very top of your game, thank you for sharing your insecurities and how makeup can help make us feel better. I love your style of using small brushes, you are constantly stroking your face, very therapeutic. So relatable and real, that's so important in a world of 'filters and pore-less' Instagram images. Thanks for keeping it real, even though you are the VERY best. 💖
I totally understand this hesitation when facing in person events. I’ve had the exact same feeling and what has helped me is being dressed, coiffed and having a light touch of makeup. I have never experienced this feeling of anxiousness as I am usually confident when I meet with people. COVID has isolated us from our routines and I personally feel I have to relearn how to be around a group of people. The confidence I get from being ‘put together’ from head to toe is important 😊
You're 100% right, we all have our own 'things!' I have dry skin, blonde barely-there eyelashes, and heavy blue allergy undereye circles. So for me it's concealer, mascara, and some cream blush! (been loving yours lately). Amen to the hesitancy and anxiety about peeking our heads out on this side of the pandemic... it feels weird and scary and I never thought I'd say that.
I LOVE the message that you put in this Lisa! It’s something I definitely needed to hear. I’ve been a bit too trendy lately, trying to go lighter in coverage for my foundation and concealer, but it just doesn’t cover what I want it to. I’m super fair, so any redness or dark under eyes are very obvious and make me uncomfortable. What you said made me think that it’s ok if I want to cover a bit more than what trends say I should, since it will help me boost my confidence. Thank you for being a trustworthy voice on UA-cam!
Amazing!!! To see a real artist not dousing 100 layers of concealer, tons of contour and painting it on. Classy, real professionall, top notch makeup artist you are. Subscribed instantly!!! Thank you Lisa!
I totally agree on the confidence boost! For me, taking time to get ready in the morning isn't so much about putting my makeup on (though i also love it) but mainly about giving myself some time to prepare mentally to be my social and professional self! It's like getting myself into character haha!
Would be an absolute dream to have you work your magic on my face one day. If only I was a model. Love how effortless you make everything look. Such a calming soul. ✨✨✨✨
I lost my lashes during cancer treatment, and they are just starting to come back. Your technique for using eyeliner under the lash line has been a lifesaver! It makes my lash line look fuller, but in a natural way. Thank you!!!
I hope you’re getting better. Cancer treatment is such a rough thing to go through.

I hate that too. Looks like one of my eyes sits farther back in my head then the other eye. And one eyebrow arches way way more
I have very asymmetrical eyes too, which makes impossible to me to do my eyeliner, it always looks very bad. I gave up on trying.

Get yourself checked for Muscle Tension Dysphonia! Apparently the incidence has markedly increased since the pandemic. I got diagnosed with it too.
I'm having alot of trouble with my voice too. A few minutes of speaking and my voice literally goes. I have to strain and then I lose it.
@PK Blondie thank you 🌹
vocal warm ups are useful for anyone using his or her voice more often than the usual :)
To hear you talk about your personal struggles gives me a huge sigh of relief, I felt like I was being over dramatic or possibly overly sensitive about returning to society after almost 1.5 years later. It feels like the Twilight Zone, doesn’t it? Never in my life did I think this would happen, but it took us a year and a half to get here. So I think we need to give ourselves some grace in getting readjusted in good time. Love you & your work, per always. Thank you for being a bright light in a seemingly dark world.
I have a new job to go to on Monday so I definitely needed some Lisa E Therapy🥰
Thank you 🙏🏼
Congratulations and best of luck with the new job! 👏🏻
Aww thank you 🥰
I love this. I’ve just turned 42, and I’m starting a makeup artistry course at college next month and I’m absolutely terrified. Not least because I’ll likely be the “Granny” of the class. I’ve been a carer for the last few years and getting back out there is really big. And being at home all the time in the last year didn’t help, so I really felt everything you said in your intro. Being able to present yourself with makeup exactly how you want it really helps me. It’s like my brave mask.
Hey you got this! We believe in you! I know it’s daunting but I think going back to school at any age is amazing.
@@Mikhaki Thank you so much 😊 that’s so nice of you
Best of luck and fair play for pursuing such a new chapter in your life!
I totally understand you, as I’m myself 48 years old and changing career as well. I admire and applaud you for being so brave, it takes a lot of courage to start again. Go for it girl!
Good luck
Apprehension, I think that’s what you mean. I feel it and don’t want to go anywhere. That is such a lovely look on you, it’s so Lisa!
I love her video.
i wanna get out so bad but when the time comes i feel anxious / scared and just stay home.....
I started watching your videos so I could learn to do my own wedding makeup - and yesterday was our ten year anniversary! I'm so impressed and glad that you've kept up your beautiful content for so long!
My uni is switching back to face-to-face mode in September so this video is perfect!
I think it’s still gonna be a long process readjusting to “normal life” and social situations but I really like the ritualistic aspect of makeup to ease me into it
I work in a supermarket so I’ve still got the bus and gone to work all throughout the pandemic so things don’t feel too much different to me. I feel lucky in the sense I’ve still had the interaction and social aspect of work seeing colleagues and customers to be fair. I do feel for those who have been shielding and isolating for so long especially those who have had to do it alone it must have been really hard.
On another note your velvet lipsticks have been something of a gift as I put it on each morning even tho nobody can see it but me 😂 it’s such a treat when I would go to the loo and see my Velvet Beauty, myth or muse still holding up under my mask 😁 x
Soooo thankful for the grocery and other store essential workers. THANK YOU, for hanging in there, and I love knowing that you did it with lux lipstick under the mask! Brava to YOU!
I always think ‘she’s going for really minimal makeup this time’ as you hardly do anything bold but then you do the before and after and it’s a massive difference. Such artistry.
Best title ever, Lisa. This is a great subject. It's a life-changing sentence once one understands it fully. It is not about falseness, but moving (the energy) forward while there is not quite 'A forward' yet, but once you keep going, there will be. Anxiety is something that hits you in 'waves' and you must keep bringing yourself back into the NOW 600 times a day if need to. This is also the primary principle for healing and/or not to allow oneself falling into depression = into a sea of THOUGHTS. Every thought has a frequency = which produces a FEELING. One must recognize this process and stand up right away when you feel it begin. I notice that ACTION helps. Just stand up and start doing something, anything. There is no magic pill. It is about getting CONSCIOUS of it. One just stays focused, keeping oneself *in the present the moment as much as possible* (instead of fading away) and once this *catches momentum,* the wheel starts turning. Easier said than done, I'd agree... but one just has to keep going. We often refer to it as 'hang in there', - which is why the phrase: *fake it 'til you make it.* Extremely accurate I find.. ♡♡♡ xx..
I have had to fake it 'till make it, for 27 years now!! Yes. Most of the time anyway, and why not?! I find it helps with most people I'll come across in meetings and ... BUT believe it or not, some of the people judged me for it!!! " How could she be having such hard times and looking the way she does"?! Sigh.
Never mind I will do anything that makes me feel good going back out there
Very well said. 👏❤️
I feel what you felt, Lisa. Thank you for saying it out loud. I am an introvert and tbh these past 2 years, although overwhelmed by worry and fear, have been such a comfort zone for me. Teaching from home has been a blessing since i can save money for gas, time, etc, but just having to work in your own 'zone' is so comfortable. Although i am slightly relieved that the pandemic is coming hopefully to an end, i do wonder what my life would/could be in the future after all this... I don't feel I have what it takes to 'rejoin' the old world because somehow I found my world in this time of tragedy..
Anyhow, love your video as always ❤️❤️
So true about social skills. I have refused a couple of invites as I didn't feel ready to talk to 'other people' earlier this year. And I love the look 👄👁😍. I have said to myself no more new palettes for this year but that Temptalia one is gorgeous! Great video as always Lisa 👍xx
Lovely, and I learned something new. The trick of no liner eyeliner.
I am here for you saying "I am here for this" 🤣💕 I'll have to try those lashes👀
😂😂
Thank you thank you for this wonderful video. I love love make-up, I'm 70 and and my mom taught me that when she was down, she sat down and did her makeup. I do my makeup even cleaning house, wearing earings and it perks me up. My family can tell when I'm off, I.havent my " dress up " face on ( but always lipstick!!) This is why I love makeup because " I'm loving me " while doing it, I'm saying " I'm special" during lockdown I even wore a hat etc. 😂😂 and my nails ... and my beautul long white hair. I've been doing my makeup for 50yrs now and it's a gift to myself. Lots of love from South Africa.
Something about watching Lisa blend in her foundation brings me such ease and comfort 🥰
Thank you for your professional commonsense skills, technique and advice. If I see one more under-30 youtuber with the wrong colour foundation (too yellow or orange thinking its giving a healthy glow) I'll scream.
Taking some time to do makeup is completely cathartic. I used to do my makeup nearly every day and over the last 3 years I’ve worn makeup less than 5 times. It’s sad giving up something you love and that makes you feel better… I just bought a new foundation the other day so I can get back into it. Will definitely be picking up your elevated glow highlighter as well! Thank you for this video, Lisa! This really speaks to me 💕
same i never wear it ):
I have always loved makeup and wear it most days but since I’ve retired my days are less structured (to say the least). However since buying eyeshadow palettes I look forward to experimenting with them every (well, most) days. It’s an expensive habit but it keeps me motivated.
I also lost my lashes and brows, secondary to cancer treatment, and they remain exceptionally sparse. I also had two strokes such that I had great difficulty recreating eyebrows daily. I ended up getting an excellent
microblading and thin eyelid enhancement for my lash line. It has cut so much time off the day, and I feel so much better about myself. The other techniques Lisa uses are so useful, and I love learning the correct way. It is all about self esteem and loving yourself.
Thank you, Lisa. ❣️
A bright lip & minimal make up makes my heart sing! As I age, less is more. Love the tips & honest chat!
So happy to see you again!
You remind me of one of my favorites, Catherine Deneuve!
A natural Beauty! With an assist from makeup, Always!
You Are Ready to FACE the World!!!

Hi Lisa, I love the authenticity of your videos. I wondered if you would do a video aimed at women in their late 30s early 40s who are brand new to make up and want to get the basics right. I was blessed with strong features and nice even skin in my youth and honestly have never felt the need or desire to wear make up before now (plus had a heavy dose of patriarchal father-induced judgment against it which I had to grow out of). As I'm getting a bit older, I've discovered the FUN in femininity and playing with make-up and also that my skin is less even than it used to be and is starting to droop a bit in places. I'd like to learn how to use make up but I have no idea where to start. So many make up artists start WAY beyond where I am and I wondered if you would consider doing a "desert island, you can only bring 5 essential basic products and 3 essential brushes" video, for those of us on a budget, but like doing things "rights," and excited to start to learn? Thanks for considering it! :D
For me, it is a good red/ brick red lipstick which does wonders to my confidence. And you are the queen of red lipstick. I have yours, and I don't need anymore. Thank you
That eyeshadow is really beautiful.
How refreshing to hear you talking about the slight anxiety of face-to-face meeting. I admire your honestly. A naturally beautiful look. Thank you so much.
I was so excited to go to an actual wedding with 200 strangers! Just being around lots of happy people squashed any social anxiety that I had and I was a social butterfly 🦋😊
Transitioning back to the in-person world I find I’m using less makeup. I love makeup and the process of applying it. I will never go without in a social setting but maybe I’ve gotten used to seeing myself with less. You are beautiful with or without! 🎨
This video is literally a public service! Honestly the best half an hour I've spent this week. You've made me feel much better about my own similar anxieties, as well as my devotion to makeup! Thanks Lisa xx
Lisa, I admire you so much. Sending you a big hug from Costa Rica.
❤️❤️❤️
¡Pura vida!
@@MFreedoom Pura vida 👍
I love her video.
I was excited to see a Sydney Grace palette in your video! I hope you’re enjoying it. I don’t have any of the Temptalia palettes but do have plenty of other things from SG and honestly they’re my favorite. Just ordered some mystery bags from their sale today!
Hello Lisa! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I've learned so many techniques watching your videos and everything you do with with an expert and thoughtful touch. My husband and I now make a point of going out to dinner or somewhere special on Saturday night because I can take the time to do my makeup, practice new things I've learned, and then go on a "date"! The eyes are my favorite!
I love Christine/Temptalia! It makes me so happy to see you speaking so kindly of her and her palette!
I went out today and used your tips for happy lips - it makes SO much difference!
This is perfect timing for me. I'm an elementary school teacher about to head back into classroom. I need some inspiration and encouraging words. You're the best!
Your tip about adding a wash of color under the eyes to help mascara along the lower lashline 🤯 ... totally giving this a try! Also, I second the thought about not going in with new makeup for this kind of situation. Tried and true products never fail! 😊 I always look forward to your videos, Lisa! 💖
Just watching you brighten your mood has completely elevated mine. What a calming and reassuring half-hour that was. Beautiful as always.
Thank you 🌺.
May I make suggestions for future videos?
Would love for you to address asymmetry in faces a bit more. Sometimes a fuller cheek on one side reflects light differently or the eyelid real estate is much different, etc. i find sometimes makeup accentuates the asymmetry. Would love your take.
Also, crepey under eyes and lip line solutions for older women in mid life (think 50’s not 70’s).
Adore everything you do!
Thank you Lisa for bringing makeup back to my life. I had totally given up on makeup- skincare and sunscreen and perhaps a lip gloss was what I had got down to. Now, seeing you, I am getting interested again. I have changed. I am not going to binge buying makeup as before, but I am going to try to finish what I already have. Also, I have decluttered makeup, and thrown out the ones which I have had since ages. Now I have just a few makeup products, 2or 3 in every section.. which I think look best on me, and things I ise the most. Thank you Lisa
My daughter used to worked at many events before she joined SIA as a cabin crew. She used to use a lot of make up and has many pairs of shoes just for many events styles requirement. I remembered waiting for her to finish her job at many locations in my car and sometimes at coffee shops nearby her event locations. Always enjoy her stories of meeting different people from different events she were hired for too.
"she is ready for business this one.. she is ready!! where is the powder?"
my new mantra✨ i would die to have on a makeup bag😍
ilysm Lisa!!!♥️♥️
I Love how you talk about makeup you take the "vapidness" out of it and connect it to the mental part it is uplifting and confidence boosting to put on makeup we dont talk enough about the positive effect it can have on our confidence because we dont want to seem like we need it to feel confident.
As an Australian, I’m so jealous of you right now! While you guys are coming out, we’re going back in. But your videos have always brought me so much comfort, much love ❤️
After not going to any social events for 18 months I found myself with 2 invitations to go out for meals this week. Even though it was with friends i found myself looking for excuses not to go. I felt such anxiety about having to mix with people - I had no idea what I should wear and my wardrobe seemed sadly lacking. I went to both meals and did enjoy myself but am relieved they are both behind me. Its comforting to know that even lisa Eldridge feels apprehensive about getting back into the real world. Thanks lisa for sharing this xx
Well done for getting yourself to both events 😍😍😍😍
Feeling yucky working in my pajamas and then Lisa comes on so I listened and did exactly what she did, faked it, even in pajamas. Lisa you are my hero xx
I absolutely love this look Lisa. You look so much more confident. I struggle a lot with anxiety and self esteem. I love how you have used just 2 eyeshadow colours and the impact it has given. I find eyeshadow difficult as I have very hooded and downturned eyes. I also have quite deep lines under my eyes and the skin moves a lot around the whole eye area. Thank you so much for sharing these tips, I will definitely be trying some of these methods. You are so lovely and natural. Thank you for being you xx
Exactly what I need these days! So effortless beautifully!
beauty should never be full of effort , doing makeup is a therapy and a hobby :D
Honestly, just the white lashes were such a look with the eyeshadow
I don’t think it’s needing to wear makeup, I just love the ritual of using it, and it definitely makes me feel better, not scaring people as I start my day out in the world again xxx
exactly, it is all in the process :)
I’ve been loving filling the root of my lash line recently, don’t know why but it makes me look more “together”. And now Lisa confirmed that it’s an actual trick and I’m sooooooooo happy! Love your look!
Best wishes for a successful event. This really resonated with me, I feel very out of practice of presenting myself publicly. Even wearing a mask has provided some 'privacy' when out in public.
I feel more confident in a mask. Hides lines and drooping skin on face. My eyes are my best feature
You are spot on! The mask is the equalizer! Who knew?
@@zkayson6765 I get so many compliments on my eyes and hair while wearing a mask😹
Thank you for recognizing the issues of anxiety, concern for going out (if it's really worth the risk) and the overall thought process of leaving home in a pandemic. This is completely normal and natural to feel a bit of concern and we all should pause, assess and stay safe. Keep wearing our masks.
👋 Lisa, I haven't worn make-up for around 3-4 years due to the fact that I'm almost always housebound due to mobility, chronic pain and health reasons. I put on weight and was gradually losing my hair so my whole confidence was down the drain 😪 I went from being a sociable, healthy, tall slimish woman in her early 40's who wore full face make up and loved having different hairstyles to the complete opposite. I've just recently been diagnosed with Alopecia and have been offered the choice of 2 synthetic or 1 human hair wig so that's one boost and also have been provided with an electric wheelchair which hopefully will encourage me to venture out for walks with my hubby, family and our dog Tara. The only thing is I've no idea how to colour match my skin to a foundation and concealer. I am so white with really puffy dark undereye and purple hooded eyes and various skin blemishes like broken capillaries to dimpling of my chin..... So if you see this please HELP. It would be so much appreciated 💐💐 Ps I have been trying too look after my skin with face cleansers/ hyaluronic toner/ under eye depuff and help colour fade cream/ hyaluronic serum-cream and moisturiser if nessasary!!
One of the most helpful things I have learned from Lisa is to let the makeup sink in, settle and then to go back in to do any touch up/adjustments as needed! I have quite dark circles along with the tear troth indentation shadow and giving my makeup time to sit while I do something else (like my hair) then going back in and tweaking the area with another layer or different shading has made such a huge difference!! I want to thank Lisa for all the tips and tricks she has taught us over the years!!!! My makeup... correction I have never looked better & felt more confident about my makeup then ever before!! Thank you Lisa!!
Ahh you’re motivating me to “bring it” this week and put more effort in. I’ve felt uncomfortable in my body after more than a year of zoom and loungewear-nevermind social anxiety seems magnified 10x now. I so appreciate your gentle empathy and how you relate to people. 💜 from San Francisco
Thank you for all these wonderful videos. I hope you have some idea of how much good you bring into the world. They are very comforting and soothing.
Gorgeous as always and watched this whilst sipping on my tea. Didn’t feel the need to do anything special on a cold and wet summer day as this video brought me joy
Ton rouge à lèvres est magnifique 🤩 😘
Sounds like you did the inner work and with your new confidence you are making us feel and look great .so thanks Lisa 🥰
Lisa! I was SO excited to see you on the latest Glow Up finale! I truly admired your gentle way of giving feedback to the contestants! You were awesome! 💜💜💜
I love this look! When I think of having to go back to the office, I wonder if I'll even remember the routine. I am excited and reluctant all at the same time, but we must move forward - and of course with a fabulous face. Thank you as always. 😘
Such a beautiful look! I never realized how much green you had in your eyes. I think the purple eyeshadow really brought out the color! So very pretty 😍 💗
This is to timely and I can definitely relate to feeling a bit nervous to go back to the office and having to get dressed up everyday. You're such an inspiration and mood boost, thank you Lisa!
I love that you mentioned applying concealer after doing all your makeup! As I age, I've noticed my under eyes are darker and more sunken but only notice it once I do my whole makeup. It's interesting to see other people's process and order of applying makeup, especially from people soooo talented!
You work with the stars but you're so down to earth, you are ana absolute treasure 🖤❤️
I just marvel at your delicate skilled application of your makeup which gives such an impeccable understated chic and classy look. Also, you use both hands to apply your makeup which shows enormous skill and practice. I shudder to think what my makeup would look like if I did the same.
Lovely, fresh look, Lisa … perhaps we are just feeling a little insecure 😕, and makeup certainly helps with our diminished confidence in facing world in person again.
Thank you for all your tutorials. They’ve helped a lot!
XO from 🇨🇦
Excellent! Out into the world feeling & looking great!
I love the Less is more approach! Thank you for this detailed tutorial, so useful!
Hi Lisa thank you for sharing your "fragility"... I see you as a very confident woman and your openness makes my insecurity more normal. I do feel makeup is a cathartic moment for me... I always say that makeup is a perfect "dress" that fits all sizes 😊. Best of luck xx
Oh Lisa! This has come at the perfect time. I was just talking to my mum about how I'm feeling really ugly lately and that I am not my usual self. Like I can't re-emerge into society just yet? Thank you for the tutorial and for talking us through it
You're not ugly. You're FABULOUS.
@@lobrooks9314 Thank you! You're very sweet
The best thing about makeup is the way it makes you feel. Beautiful natural look Lisa xxx
This pandemic has triggered my mental heath and social anxiety, I have become really insecure that when a social event presents itself I don´t know what to do anymore, stunning look Lisa, thanks for you words!
This is such a versatile look, it is the kind of makeup I tend to do on brides who do not want to look too ‘extra’ on their special day: timeless, beautiful makeup that looks great on camera and also in person! Love how you explain everything, been following you since forever🤍
What a lovely video! Amazing, effortless, timeless makeup and a really lovely chat about an issue I'm sure a lot of people related to.
You are the very top of your game, thank you for sharing your insecurities and how makeup can help make us feel better. I love your style of using small brushes, you are constantly stroking your face, very therapeutic. So relatable and real, that's so important in a world of 'filters and pore-less' Instagram images. Thanks for keeping it real, even though you are the VERY best. 💖
Gorgeous as always, effortless so chic! Thank you for sharing! A big hugh from the corner of the world, Argentina
I totally understand this hesitation when facing in person events. I’ve had the exact same feeling and what has helped me is being dressed, coiffed and having a light touch of makeup. I have never experienced this feeling of anxiousness as I am usually confident when I meet with people. COVID has isolated us from our routines and I personally feel I have to relearn how to be around a group of people. The confidence I get from being ‘put together’ from head to toe is important 😊
You're 100% right, we all have our own 'things!' I have dry skin, blonde barely-there eyelashes, and heavy blue allergy undereye circles. So for me it's concealer, mascara, and some cream blush! (been loving yours lately). Amen to the hesitancy and anxiety about peeking our heads out on this side of the pandemic... it feels weird and scary and I never thought I'd say that.
I LOVE the message that you put in this Lisa! It’s something I definitely needed to hear. I’ve been a bit too trendy lately, trying to go lighter in coverage for my foundation and concealer, but it just doesn’t cover what I want it to. I’m super fair, so any redness or dark under eyes are very obvious and make me uncomfortable. What you said made me think that it’s ok if I want to cover a bit more than what trends say I should, since it will help me boost my confidence. Thank you for being a trustworthy voice on UA-cam!
Brilliant, Lisa. That’s exactly how I feel recently and makeup is definitely a confidence booster 💄💋
Amazing!!! To see a real artist not dousing 100 layers of concealer, tons of contour and painting it on. Classy, real professionall, top notch makeup artist you are. Subscribed instantly!!! Thank you Lisa!
You have a way of making everything look so effortless & amazing! I love watching your videos!! 🤩
I totally agree on the confidence boost! For me, taking time to get ready in the morning isn't so much about putting my makeup on (though i also love it) but mainly about giving myself some time to prepare mentally to be my social and professional self! It's like getting myself into character haha!
Lisa this was so great! Miss your makeup tutorials so much!
Would be an absolute dream to have you work your magic on my face one day. If only I was a model. Love how effortless you make everything look. Such a calming soul.
✨✨✨✨
