New video: Pastel Beauty Trend

A much requested tutorial from the gallery section of my website. This chalky pastel editorial look is taken from ‘Chalk It Up’, a trend beauty shoot I did for the June edition of UK Vogue.
Matte chalky textures have had something of a renaissance recently and can add a really fun element to your make-up. The look can be toned down and adapted to suit every one; all the tips are in the film.
Hope you enjoy watching the look come to life!

This is the eye look I was wearing in the intro to the 'Electric Blue Eyes' tutorial. Inspired by Kristen Stewart and our shared love of a simple smudgy black eye liner combined with a clean natural face. Its super easy to do, and the effect is always modern and youthful. You can use anything non perfumed and greasy to smudge the liner… Vaseline, eye gloss, face gloss or neutral lip balm all work well. Just remember to only use a small amount. Adapt the cheek and lip shade to suit your colouring. Its one of my failsafe evening looks for when I want to look undone but effortlessly ‘done’ at the same time (if you know what I mean).
Hope you enjoy the video! Lisa x

New video: Burberry Beauty Review
Thursday 1st Jul 2010 7:30am - Comments (142)Click here to watch this video
This review video shows my first reaction to the new Burberry make-up line, Burberry Beauty. Although I’ve had them for a while I purposely didn’t try or even remove the products from their boxes until we started filming. Christopher Bailey's concept of naturally enhanced skin and a beauty vision linked to the natural environment really appealed to my beauty aesthetic. The range certainly lived up to my expectations in terms of quality and texture.
Burberry Beauty launches in to Harrods (it will also be available to buy online from the Harrods website) and Nordstrom in the U.S. on the 12th July.
What do you think of Burberry beauty?

New video: Electric Blue Eyes
Friday 25th Jun 2010 1:00pm - Comments (245)Click here to watch this video
Bold electric blue eyes, perfect if you are feeling adventurous this summer. I'm using a waterproof (and seemingly indestructible!!!) eye shadow, so it works really well for a hot summer evening look.
For a change I'm doing the look on my beautiful assistant Jessie. As I say in the vid...I'm sick of my face! Jessie wears a fake tan on her body which is a few shades darker and more yellow than her face skin colour so I'm using a deeper, yellow based foundation to address this and give a uniform look.
You can adapt the look to suit your level of boldness...if you want it bright but less full on, just use the blue along the lash line top and bottom. Like wise if you want more, keep layering (just remember to work quickly!) Hope you enjoy it...have fun!

I’ve had tons of requests for my everyday natural make-up look. I do other looks during the day (depending on what I’m doing) obviously but this is my failsafe super quick favourite for when I need to look like me but polished and pulled together. To adapt this look to the one I wore in the Giveaway2 video, just add Mac pencil in Grey Utility to the waterline. Hope you find this helpful, thanks for watching. Lisa x

New video: A Classic Bridal Look
Friday 4th Jun 2010 3:00pm - Comments (90)Click here to watch this video
Another simple, classic and natural bridal make-up with the emphasis on a 'classic 4 toned eye.' Giving maximum definition and emphasis, its perfect for making the most of your eyes whilst still giving an elegant and soft overall effect. The shades and strength of the look can be adapted to suit you and your skin tone. I've used warmer, slightly peachy tones for this look which works really well on all skins with a predominantly yellow base tone. From the palest warm toned skin through to olives and darker skin tones, tweak the shades accordingly. If you need more definition, add individual lashes and gel eyeliner along the upper lash line. I will post some stronger bridal looks later in the year. Btw, I made this video before the Shellac nails went on, I still have them and I'll post a review and picture this Sunday.
