Lisa Eldridge Make Up

Lily wins 3 Ivor Novello Awards!

I have worked with Lily Allen quite a bit and earlier today I did her make-up for the Ivor Novello awards. I was completely thrilled and delighted to hear she had won 3! Lily works incredibly hard and this industry recognition is well deserved.

When I heard she had cried a lot during the acceptance speeches the first thing that came into my mind was "thank god I used waterproof mascara and eyelash glue!" Lily had some incredible vintage dresses to choose from, all of which looked great on her but this primrose yellow number was definitely the favourite.

The make-up was a wash of sheer glittery gold on the eyes and a kitten flick liner with lashes. The lip was a bit of an after thought once the dress was on, a poppy coral which added to her fresh prettiness.

I'm sure she is having a big celebration tonight to toast her success.

Congratulations Lily!!! Couldn'tt have happened to a nicer girl

@Eleonore @Amy @francesca @Nadia @Sara thanks for your comments girls, pleased you liked the look. The lipstick is by Dolce Gabanna and is called 'coral' (although its more pink than orange) and the eyeshadow is by RMK. x

She looks great, the dress and makeup are both right and very "lily", i love the fact that her personality always comes through first, and is not eclipsed by the styling. Good job Lisa x

Lisa....you have given me a great deal of courage to try colors I would never have given a second thought to. Without you I would have missed out on the most breathtaking looks. I want to thank you so much. Please keep these looks coming...I learn so much.

Lisa, sorry if my English is far from perfect, but I just wanted to express all my admiration to you, both as a makeupartist and as a person! I LOVE the way you work! And now, a question: can you tell us which lipstick did you use for this look? Thank you!!

Amy - Friday May 21st 2010 12:33pm

Hi lisa, can I just ask waht eye shadow and lipstick you used on Lily - she looks amazing (as always!), thanks you x

Congratulations to Lily and to you who made her look so radiant and stunning! I hope that following your advices and tricks, I'll manage to look more "presentable":-)thank you for your help!

@Sophie Thank you so much, that is an amazing compliment! x @April thanks again April x @Claudia this event wasn't televised and was also during the day so the make-up had a more natural feel. However it is true that skin make-up for high def television needs to be flatter and more uniform but i personally dont achieve this with sprays or waxy textures. I'm more likely to go over a base with mineral powder to achieve a flawless but less waxy finish. x

Lisa, you can't imagine how you help us to feel more beautiful and confident. You are amazing. =)

That is awesome Lisa!! Congrats to you as well!! They know who the best makeup artist is and exactly why they chose you :) She looks so pretty in this picture.

My comment is more of a curiousity: everything is done in HiDef here in the states and from what i understand, on Awards & Live Presentation shows: the make up is sprayed on and it has a wax like base. Do you find this to be true or I am completely mis-informed? If this is to be true, do you like how make up is evolving?
