Lisa Eldridge 💄 #2

[50sGirl]

I've just had the concealer delivered. I ordered shade 4, I am shade 4 in the skin tint and shade 3 in pinpoint concealer. I have the foundation in shade 6 but seldom use it nowadays. I've been searching for a concealer that suits me for a couple of years now and spent a fortune. I have both Chanel concealers and a Suqqu one. None of them compare to the Lisa Eldridge for me. I don't have bad under eye darkness but around my nose is always red and I have a lot of pigmentation along my jawline.

The LE just feels smoother and blends perfectly. On my pigmentation I used this and on a really dark sunspot and popped a bit of pinpoint on top. I am not massively red compared to people I have seen online but red enough for it to bother me. I haven't used a corrector, they still confuse me tbh.

I am impressed so far. I'll check later on and see if it still looks nice. I only have sunscreen and concealer with a bit of balm blusher on and I don't think I look like the walking dead.

Thanks for reporting back.
I’ve ordered shade 4 but I’m T3 in Skin Tint and 1 in Pinpoint so I’m hoping it’s not too dark.
I do have dark circles under my eyes so hopefully there will be enough coverage because, if not, Chanel is my next try.

Which colours did you order?

Han Beauty and Charlotte Holdcroft have both put videos up.
Hannah has all the colours.

I think I made the right choice with Rose Madder. Mine hasn't been dispatched yet.

I have them all because I'm a magpie. I groan at myself

Guerlain came out with this idea many years ago and then they changed the packaging so old lipsticks and cases wouldn’t work with new lipsticks and cases. There’s a great Chloe Morello video where she learns about this in real time and she displays the absolute frustration and disappointment of the issue haha. So for me that would be a worry, if they have changed before they will likely change again. Also they are quite light and feel cheap even though they don’t look it. I remember on an old episode of Fat Mascara their guest said for us to become more environmentally sustainable with makeup we need to move past this idea that luxe = heavy but I’m sorry, I just can’t!

Also did anyone else see Lisa has stepped down from Lancôme as Global Creative Director. I did find her appointment a bit odd after awhile because she used to regularly appear on their social media, especially their YouTube channel and she would promote a lot of the products she made with them (that infamous highlighter flower) but for a good while she hasn’t visibly been associated with them so much so I asked her team if she still was a few years ago (curiosity gets the better of me again!) I also found it a shame they didn’t seem to update their main collections and Lisa worked (seemingly) on new ideas or limited editions. I’m still gutted they got rid of the Juicy Shakers because they were amazing! Mine still work and don’t smell off or have mould on. Justice for them!!

I have one of the old Guerlain refillable lipsticks and cases and hardly used it as the lipstick wasn’t fantastic, and the case was just too heavy.

It was my most-regretted makeup purchase for a while, because of how expensive it was and how little I used it.

The engraving on the rouge experience says EDT

It could just be someone’s lipstick engraved with their initials? It looks like she’s reposting someone’s story.

Just seen this article which is a nice natural look

From ‘pinpoint concealing’ to overlining lips, this is how to enhance your natural beauty without doing too much

I can screenshot it if anyone wants that can’t view it?

Well the liquid lurex eyeshadow I got for Christmas was a bust. The sales assistant in liberty gave me the wrong one! It’s a bronzey shade and looks dreadful against my pale skin. If anyone wants it gimme a shout!

Email customer service and hopefully they’ll send u the right one. One time Mac did that to me and I was suprised how chill they were about refund / swap based on human error

 

[Missmopps]

Oh Lisa now I’ve watched your video I want it all! I just love how authentic she is, without pretension or ego. Intelligence and passion just radiates through everything she does. I’m very tempted by the butterfly light.

 

[Also_smoke_and_mirrors]

At least she don’t take her customer’s money and then after 2 weeks say “sorry for the delay“ unlike another “guru”…

They are worlds apart, arent they

 

[Ponponpon]

I was surprised too. I feel like she's missing a trick by not having a staple navy and violet colour. But, lovely to see her experiment with non-day to say colours

I had massive irritation from a VB cream eyeshadow. Burning eyelids!

Same. I had the chiffon lid lustre and 50% of the time it burns

The total cost of Lisa's products in the bag is £125. So if they are things you would use and you would use at least one other item in the bag it is probably worth getting.

I’ve said this before but I was determined not to waste the pink soap blush and kept on using it from the tube until it was too leaky. I had an old Bobbi brown pot rouge (powder pink, great colour) that I had finished so I washed and sanitised the pan and compact and decanted all of the LE into that. It still going strong in pan form. I don’t know why it’s taken so long to repackage. I know Lisa is a perfectionist and I imagine the new packaging is more premium than the previous white plastic tube.

I also said on here I’d seen an old magazine from July 2025 with a preview of her new blushes which looked like the lip gloss packaging and a shade called “meeting the ex” which suggests that Lisa won’t be bringing back her original colour line up.

 

[elliebee27]

I couldn't find the blushes anywhere in London when I was there, sigh, so I will hold off! I'm on my flight home...

It's amazing they were able to shade match you from a photo! I went to Liberty for a shade match and she made me orange.

 

[Also_smoke_and_mirrors]

I would tend to agree with you.

My only comment would be I hate the smudger in the VB liners, it lifts so much product. If you blend with a brush the pigment is more concentrated.

There's a wider shade range in VB, which might be worth considering, depending on your personal preference and style.

Hildun and Zoeva are both decent, less spenny options, but the longevity isn't as good as either VB or LE IMHO.

Ah that could be why. I've used the smudger rather than a brush.

I should have mentioned LE has about 6 shades and VB has about 20, including dupes of all the LE shades, or at least the ones i am familiar with

 

[Silverback]

I have it on as well^

Depends on what one defines as toxic. They aren't as clean as I'd like, think they do contain lead (not substantial traces) though, & it's not listed in their ingredients. I find that I've had irritation from VB eyeliners in the past.

Also not a fan of the price point given they don't seem to last. Would much rather support Lisa & her products.

I had massive irritation from a VB cream eyeshadow. Burning eyelids!

Have any of you booked a bespoke beauty service with one of the artists at a Lisa Eldridge counter before? I'm a bridesmaid next Feb and we have to do our own makeup, and I don't wear very much day to day except a touch of Lisa's skin tint. I've been a bridesmaid before and the lady did my makeup really cakey and orange, and I know Lisa style makeup is the antithesis of this.

Just wondering if any one on the thread has done this and if it's worth it

Never done it but the best London counter IMO is Liberty's because it's right by a huge window for natural light and the staff are lovely.

I went to 2 Space NK* stores (spit!) this weekend purely because I wanted to compare. 2 skin tint shades. Neither stocked LE products.
Every time I see a Space NK store I go in so I can look at her shades but none ever stock it. It’s odd.

*disclaimer, I’d never buy from them due to the extravagant way they reward “influencers” but I wanted to see the LE colours in person before ordering from her site.

I am a T6 having managed to be colour matched a while ago. Have decided to go mad and try the VB one instead of buying LE. Am treating myself for my birthday. Got colour matched in Selfridges - would never dare spend that much without a match in person.

 

[Also_smoke_and_mirrors]

Used the Velatura yesterday for the first time and I love it - this might be my favourite product so far. It's subtle, but somehow with just a few swipes on lips and cheeks it made me look fresh and healthy. Have to resist more colours now!

I'm impressed too. I'm thinking of buying another one

 

[Silverback]

For anyone after a green eye pencil, I am a high end pencil girl through and through but I always go back to the Rimmel scandaleyes khaki one. It’s great!

THREE new RED lipsticks? Sorry, ignore me or whatever makes you happy if you can't bear to read nothing but worship for Lisa, but I think the brand has been in a deep creative slump for more than a year now and has lost its way.

Those highlighter pots also bring nothing new to the beauty market.

I love Lisa but totally agree.

If I was advising her brand, I'd tell her to focus on anything that perfects the look of skin. She seems to have a real strength there. Give me all the skin tints, concealers for each area of the face, blushes and the like, particularly in formulas which are geared to middle aged skin which is becoming a bit crinkly. Even a base moisturiser designed to go under makeup like embryolisse or magic skin. But all the amazing formulas and application techniques she loves.

Then have a rolling variation of limited edition colour products, geared to collectors. The Betty palette is a great example, so creative, unusual colours which are surprisingly wearable for everyday. The lilac pencil too. Amazing packaging (nb the outer cardboard box having a picture on it is not 'amazing packaging') which showcases her creativity and interpretation of trends.
