'Dita Von Teese' inspired matt red lips

How to do a ' full on' matt red mouth (think Dita Von Teese!) This layering technique is great for making the colour really last.

@heimweg I think it fits perfectly with the lips, the contrast works well. If it was a really noticable cool red it'd look more purple than this anyway. You should do a tutorial on your eyes in the video Lisa, they look absolutely beautiful!! x

lisa help me! i just found out about your videos today and they are totally BRILLIANT! my issue is i'm very white but i have a very pink undertone on my cheeks so some reds look TOO red and some make me look very yellow...what ever shall i do? (;

heimweg - Thursday 24th Jun 2010 9:45pm

this warm brown absolutly doesnt fit to this cold red :) cold gray eyes would be in a way better :)

would you ever consider doing a video on how you got your career started? not that i want to see another video on how to be a make up artist, i am just more interested in your personal story :) i would for sure watch that. Beautiful as always!

I think you should add background music to your vids! Just something ambient with no words.

love this it's SUPER helpful.I'm unsure what shade of red lipstick would suit me, I'm NW 20 in MAC foundation and I have dark hair and green eyes.Any tips on what to look for?I know Ruby Woo is very pigmented but do you (or anyone else!) know of anyother shades that would be a good dupe as I'm a student on a budget!?Thanks!!!

@kerry12345 lucky you! It will look fabulous! It is a matt texture so they wont look too big x

Hi Lisa I love the red lip look but I was wondering if red lipstick would look silly on me as I have full lips

Hi Lisa, how did you make up your eyes, they look so beautiful, thank you very much.

odesumini - Friday 28th May 2010 7:29pm

absolutely amazing, love it. my english is not as good to explain how much i like this video, thanks for share :)

lisaeldridgedotcom - Saturday 22nd May 2010 2:43pm

@cheeky3300 Thank you! Its hard to say without seeing you in person. Ruby Woo is more vivid so its more about how much you want to really stand out. Both shades have bluish undertones so both would look very good on you. I would keep your eyes quite simple maybe just liner and a fairly neutral shadow to shade. As both of these lipsticks are matte its nice to have a bit of shimmer on the eyelids to add dimension.

@bilai135Thanks! I used the Max Factor False Lash effect one

Great Tips! I've never heard of it being done this way Thank You soo much for the tip off. Very attractive look. Peace~

JayneHenricksen - Sunday 7th Mar 2010 11:43am

Hi Lisa were the colours on your eyes at the beginning also from that same pallet? I've got dark eyes and olive tones and am always trying to find the perfect colours to create the look on the eyes that you did. Great channel!

Maddieeearenzo - Saturday 6th Mar 2010 6:54pm

You look a lot like Nigella Lawson. Awesome tutorial, thanks!

thefrancelandletters - Monday 22nd Feb 2010 10:47pm

Is that an actual lip brush or a concealer brush?

SIeeplessInBerlin - Tuesday 16th Feb 2010 12:02am

Lisa, I love how your clothes always harmonize with the colours in your make-up - or maybe it's the other way around. :)

sofiangeletou - Tuesday 9th Feb 2010 11:27am

Lisa, I followed your advice and got the perfect lips that kept me dancing and drinking all night without toping up once! At the end of the night it was looking as fresh and crisp as in the start!! Thanks so much!!!

GlossGoss - Sunday 7th Feb 2010 10:27am

Stunning! You look like a human version of Snow White!!

ChooLove09 - Saturday 6th Feb 2010 7:07pm

Thank you so much - I picked up loads of tips. I've always been scared to do a red lip as I always felt you had to have lips like Natalia Vodianova to pull it off but I think I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and do it! x

SydellexX - Saturday 6th Feb 2010 6:47pm

great tutorial lisa, you look so prettyy :) x

carolas68 - Saturday 6th Feb 2010 3:52pm

Lisa you rock !!! I'm so happy I found you, you are a great teacher :) Cannot wait to see more of your videos !

luckyclover012 - Saturday 6th Feb 2010 7:27am

best red lip ever!

portbou7 - Tuesday 26th Jan 2010 4:36am

Wonderful videos Lisa , Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us. I cant wait for new videos ! It seems like the red lipstick really does make you look paler , i should be careful with that as I am super pale:)

tinnahelga - Thursday 7th Jan 2010 1:53pm
