Disclaimer
I can’t guarantee that all of the make-up and skincare products I recommend will suit you. I only use products I personally think are good having tried them on myself and my clients but everyone's skin is different and it's possible to be allergic to anything. Wherever possible, test products out on yourself before purchasing.

I only feature products I like, or want to try. The products I use in these videos are either purchased by me or sent to me by make-up companies to use in my professional capacity as a make-up artist for fashion and celebrity photo shoots, red carpet etc. I am also sent products by many of the top magazines to judge for awards.

I do not accept payment and am not sponsored to make any of the films on this channel. Some of the links under the videos and blog posts on my site are affiliated however and as stated before, I only feature products I like, or want to try.

dont put up with bad attitude if we all insist, they will change their ways, foundation is an expensive and difficult purchase for most women and they should appreciate that X

[LisaEldridge]

If women only buy from companies who give samples, eventually all the other brands will have to get with the programme or lose out! X

[LisaEldridge]

I so glad to hear you thoroughly tested it before buying. Natural light is key X

A few people here have said good things about Sephora in the US in relation to samples, its good to hear they understand how important samples are when it comes to buying a new foundation X

[LarsGudem]

Love that you talk negative about the online-shopping for foundation. I work for bare Minerals in Norway, and we have a huge problem with that kind of shopping. People should get there shadematch in-store.

[LisaEldridge]

this is so bizarre ... what is wrong with these people/companies. How are women supposed to find a good foundation and not waste a tonne of money on 'not quite right' products X

[LisaEldridge]

yes i do. Its not as bad shopping for drugstore foundations in the US as many will take back opened product that didnt work out. Here in the Uk that is much less common sadly, so mistakes can prove expensive X

Professional, knowledgeable, and classy.
Every time she puts up a video, I cannot WAIT to view it!

Thank you, Lisa, for all of your hard work and sharing your professional knowledge with all of us!

Lisa needs to write a book, she is so knowledgeable and has a lot of experience! She is willing to share so much! Love her loads!!!

I can listen to you talk for ages. I find with others I get bored or I feel the need to see products but you just capture my attention!

[LisaEldridge]

wow you were lucky as colour swatches can look very different on screen to real life. When I upload a video for example, the process slightly changes all the colours plus the angle of the screen etc makes a big difference too X

[LisaEldridge]

yes youre right! I havent done any videos geared towards make-up artists for a long time, my videos are mainly for non pros who are struggling with make-up and the basics. I do still get requests from MUA's to do a video about building up a portfolio and about how I got into the industry ...so i may cover that in the future. Thanks for watching! X

[Rabiach]

I have been watching your videos for two years now and learned makeup from you, you are my ultimate makeup teacher! Hope to seeing you for years and keep learning from you!

[SpikeMe]

Lisa, your makeup is amazing. Ever since I fell on your videos some time around a year ago, I can't stop watching them ! You are a radiant, gorgeous woman for whom I have the deepest respect. xxx from switzerland

[LisaEldridge]

Quite a few people have said that here and on Facebook, sounds like a really great place to shop for a new foundation if you are lucky enough to live near X

[LisaEldridge]

Good to hear about your very positive experience at Nars, sounds like perfect service X

[naomirosario]

OMG! I love your voice!!! It's so feminine and elegant!!
