Lisa Eldridge 💄

[Tabitha]

Got a bit carried away with Space NK’s double points event (still on).
Not a huge makeup person because i can rarely justify how much it all comes to but Im trying to get better .
LOVE everything I got. The only thing i probably wont repurchase is the highlighter (my skin is already quite glowy so it doesnt add much for me).
Skin tint is amazing, it’s like how i always wanted a foundation to look on me.
The eyeliner is very fine and precise. I normally use the Rare Beauty one as it’s a thick felt tip and lasts forever, but this is really nice for a finer look.
Love the velvet lipstick but a shame it transfers, is the liquid lipstick better?

just waiting on faux lipstick to come in stock and might try the mascara too.

Fawn not faux*

It's this, I assume. A bit weird it's in the FT before it's on an email or her website.

Aw I was hoping it was the concealer she said she’d got in the pipeline.

Thanks @JaneRev for your detailed update. I’m glad you had a lovely day and Lisa’s Liberty counter was all that you hoped it would be.

@50sGirl no problem
I'm still recovering this week has been sponsored by not doing a lot and a lot of painkillers!

I'm looking forward to seeing what sort of concealer Lisa brings out. I'm split between a pen style and something similar to the Laura Mercier pallet that she's used for years. I picked that up from Cult

I’ve just been to Liberty and completely agree about the fantastic staff on the LE counter. Went in for a lipstick, left with lipstick, gloss, pencil and highlighter .

I bought the skin tint today, and got colour matched in space nk; I thought I’d be T1 or T2 (I’m Mont Blanc in Nars sheer glow), but she matched me to T3. I tested a few shades on my wrists and I think because it’s so sheer, it would probably be very forgiving if you did get the wrong shade by one or two.

I’ve had the mascara and eyeliner for a few weeks now; the eye liner is the best I’ve ever used.

love her makeup and hat for the garden party at Buckingham palace.

Has anyone tried Go lightly? Or seen it in real life?

I had it and sold it. It was god awful. The texture was so bad the lines in my lips were really visible and the colour was so white based that it looked like clown makeup. It was super patchy too.

 

[50sGirl]

Well I decided to try one of my LE foundation samples today so that I can work out which shade I’ll be in the Skin Tint.
I tried shade 1 and let’s just say I’m glad I’m not leaving the house today because I resemble Casper the friendly ghost!
It’s a great match to my neck though but too pale for my face.

Love Épanoui but I have a bunch of Gloss Embrace to work through. I'm trying to be better now only buying (including skincare) when I'm running low.

I wish she'd bring out a concealer. Her understanding of undertones is A* and the range for darker skintones in her base priducts is great.

A couple of weeks ago Lisa hinted that she’d be bringing out a concealer.

I didn't use a primer. I just used my Clinique moisture surge. I'm wearing the tint now. It's fabulous! It covers my redness but feels and looks so natural. I LOVE it. No pilling, no settling, just looks fab. I'm an oily girl with some dry patches, so I exfoliate a few times a week to control it.

I also am wearing the Luxuriously Lucent lipstick in Rose Official, and oh my, it's so pretty and feels so lovely. Worth the splurge. You can tell, I think, effort and care was put into creating these products which I appreciate. Even my kid said he thought the lipstick was pretty.

 

[hehehe]

Recent purchases:

Kitten liner and mascara - both excellent, but the liner doesn't have a great deal of staying power.

Meet Cute Baume embrace - it's nice, pretty colour, probably should have got Epanoui instead. Do I need this? No. It's a £26 lip balm.

Skin tint - haven't used it because the shade isn't right. I've now tried 5 different shades and none match me (same with the foundation, I've tested every shade from 15 to 22).

Mist - I'm just trying to use it up at this point.

Velvet lipstick and Velveteen in Rain - nice but I really didn't need both.

Velvet lipstick in Affair - already had the Velveteen but the lipstick looks totally different. If you have MAC Taupe or Cafe Mocha you don't need this.

Excited to see new e/s palette(s?) coming soon.

Another vote for less is definitely more as you age, makes me feel quite sad that I have a drawer full of expensive eyeshadow palettes that I will not touch now (unless I want to look like Danny La Rue-see told you I was old!).

I’m absolutely loving the skin tint, I’ve also emailed them for help on foundation but not sure it’s going to be as good anyway so I’ll just stick with this for now.

I bought the glow stuff but it’s not as good as the Charlotte Tilbury stuff (for me) and it’s really quite small.

I took a gamble on the Skin Tint. I have very oily, acne scarred skin so I was a bit unsure about if it'd be suitable. But it's great. I got the shade T13 and it's adaptable enough to suit my greenish undertone with no problem and doesn't have any kind of ashy nor oompa loompa drydown. I don't generally like full coverage despite my scarring, but this had a good amount of blurring. I also like that it applied smoothly using just my fingers and left no streaks or patchiness. Very happy with purchase.

Has anybody with super suuuuper oily lids used the powder eyeshadow? Are they any good or will my excessive oiliness just eat them up? Had my eye on a couple of singles, but not sure how they'd cope!

Have you tried NARS smudge proof eye base? I have v oily eyelids, and I can use any eyeshadow if I use this, usually with zero (or only minimal) creasing. Lisa uses it herself, but I’ve been using it for years (*Sali Hughes face*)

I've always been the girl who prioritises sleep over make up I'm a bit of a sloth 🦥

Every time we've gone out since I bought the tint I've worn it as it's so quick and easy and tones down some of my redness. The shade and define in 0N is the perfect pairing too.

 

[whitershadeofpale]

I’m a big Lisa fan and her customer service is top-notch. They matched me perfectly for the tint and foundation (T3 and 5). I love both and wore the foundation on my wedding day. The cleanser works perfectly for my skin too.

The only fail for me is the mascara and that’s because I can’t wear non-tubing mascaras without smudges, I love how it looks for day though and the eyeliner is fool proof. The spray is fine but I wouldn’t repurchase as I just found it a little joyless.

I like Lisa’s no-drama style but does anyone remember when she did a sarky post years ago saying she wasn’t going to bother anymore as she spends ages coming up with videos and then people just rip her off? It was after she did an acne covering video and was clearly aimed at Pixiwoo. Lisa deleted it quite quickly and blamed PMT. It’s obviously forgotten now as I’ve seen Sam at Lisa’s launches and Lisa’s commented on their posts.

 

[50sGirl]

I'll have a look through you tube tomorrow and see if I can find it. It's ringing a bell with me

Thanks. It was probably last year. I can recall her swatching about 4 shades from her cheek down to her jaw line to show you how to pick the best match.
I’ve swatched 8 shades from her sample cards and I *think* it’s between 2 shades - 2 and 5 which seem pretty far apart.
I may go into Space NK next week as I think I’d like to try the skin tint before the foundation. I feel I will be T2.
Is anyone else finding that as they get older that less is more?
If I wear a full face I feel I look older than if I keep it light. I can’t be bare faced if I go out so I think Skin Tint may help.

I‘m away for a few days and went into Space NK to get colour matched for the Skin Tint. I was so disappointed when they said they only had a “limited range” of LE products in their store. Limited? There were about 5 items in front of their till which you could have displayed on a small side plate! I have more LE products in my make up *bag!
I was so disappointed but not as disappointed as the poor soul who will have to colour match me from a make up free selfie via email - poor sod!


*disclaimer - my make up “bag” consisted of several drawers full!

I wonder if Lisa is aware of this situation? Did they say it was only temporary due to stock issues, or is this the permanent state of affairs? It’s hardly going to give a good impression of Lisa’s brand

 

[50sGirl]

Lisa has a concealer in the pipeline!

 

[50sGirl]

I love the mascara! It looks so natural.

I wish she’d do it in brown.
