Introduction:
As every beauty enthusiast knows, the art of makeup requires precision, creativity, and an understanding of different techniques. YouTube has provided a platform for beauty gurus to share their artistic vision and makeup routine, including an insightful video tutorial from famed makeup artist, Lisa Eldridge. In this video, Lisa shows us how to achieve an effortless “no makeup” makeup look. The tutorial focuses on how to enhance our natural beauty using minimal and light products, emphasizing the importance of clean and comfortable makeup application.
Step-by-Step Guide:
Lisa begins by prepping the skin with a lightweight moisturizer, emphasizing the significance of a well-hydrated base for a fresh and natural look. She then lightly applies a skin-matching foundation using a stippling brush, focusing on areas of discoloration and blemishes rather than covering the entire face.
For the eyes, Lisa uses a soft, matte brown eyeshadow gently blended over the entire eyelid. She then tightlines the upper lash line with a dark brown eyeliner to provide definition without being overly dramatic. A couple of coats of mascara were added on top and bottom lashes, giving an opened-eye look without the heavy application.
Next, she lightly fills in the eyebrows with a thin brow pencil and defines them with a clear brow gel, giving them a polished but natural look. A dot of liquid blush is then gently blended into the cheeks for a fresh-faced glow, followed by a dab of highlighter across the brow bones, cheekbones, and cupid’s bow to spark a subtle radiate glow.
To finish, Lisa uses a lip liner similar to the lip color to define lips without obvious lines, followed by a thin layer of lipstick in a sheer, natural shade.
Key Tips and Advice:
One of the most impactful tips from Lisa’s video is that less is more when going for a ‘no makeup’ makeup look. It’s about enhancing natural features, not concealing them completely. Another key tip is to use products that feel comfortable on the skin, creating a fresh-faced look that also feels fresh and light.
Conclusion:
Throughout the video, Lisa Eldridge meticulously emphasizes the art of subtlety in makeup. In a world where heavy makeup reigns supreme, this refreshing take on natural beauty is a reminder that makeup is a tool meant to enhance, not hide, your natural beauty. Everyone is encouraged to experiment according to their comfort level and to find a look that makes them feel confident and beautiful.

Hi Sineady, can smokey eyes be applied for deep set eyes too? If you put a video on this it will be super helpful.
I'm a little bit embarrassed to admit that I never really knew the true meaning of a smokey eye until now everybody explains it so differently but you have just explained it in the best way possible so I know the best method I'm trying this tomorrow! Thank you so much.
Your videos are really helpful! Keep doing what you're doing! xoxo
