No joke, I get compliments on my makeup quite often, and I truly credit you, Lisa, as I’ve been a faithful watcher since 2011. I recently told my coworker that I spend most of my time blending and perfecting, rather than, to your point, piling things on. She said that sometimes she can’t tell what I’m wearing because the edges all are blurred together, and so I explained that blending is the key. A few days later she proudly showed me her eyeshadow application, which she said she spent ample time blending in. It really looked significantly better, and she was glowing, she was so happy! Thank you for being a true professional and reminding us that we don’t have to pile on 17 layers of product to achieve a beautiful face! ❤🎉
This is so lovely - thank you so much for watching over the years xx
This is such a wholesome comment, love it 🥰
True that! I have learnt so much from your videos!
Such a delight and refresh this video! ❤
I've learned so much from you Lisa..you are lovely
In Lisa we trust
😘😘😘
So true.
Amen!
Amen sister!
That’s so cute!😄
She does this because she is an actual artist. The same philosophy and technique works with fine art as well- you create dimension and images with erasers and scraping tools as much as you do with pencils or paintbrushes. Negative space is as important as the space that is filled, and this works for blending and depth in makeup as well. She's amazing! 🎨💄
I work with oil painting and I use a clean brush to blend on the canvas too. 🥰
@@allegro2347 Same here, watercolor:)
I couldn't agree more.
Exactly, and that includes silence in music, or stillness in performing. [Edit] actually her first sentence by Coco Chanel is basically how I go about interpreting music. First I write on the sheet everything I feel like doing, and as I work the ideas into the piece, they become a lot more minimal and refined to really complement the piece rather than overpower it.
As I was watching the video, I thought, "Hey, I've been doing this for years! I must have good makeup instincts." And seeing your comment makes so much sense to me because I love drawing portraits and blending and shading is my FAVORITE part! haha. People always ask me how I create my drawings, and I tell them I erase a lot!
Oh Lisa!!! I'm 51 and for the last couple of years my makeup has never looked quite right, like I was wearing a mask even if I didn't use much makeup. I tried this 'hack' today and the difference is INCREDIBLE. My makeup now looks how I always hoped it would look but was never quite able to achieve. Everything just looks softer and seamless. It's incredible. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!
I’m so pleased it helped 😘❤️
So HAPPY for you! Now get out there and show them all who’s boss!🙌🏼🌷
I totally agree. Blending makeup is like tailoring clothes. It takes it to the next level! 😍😍
It really does take it to the next level xxx
The simplicity of this is genius 💞
🙏🏼♥️
Double blending! This is the second time that I have heard about it! This tip should be talked more about! It’s amazing!
This is what I wanna see from MUA, their thought process and tips and tricks like this that make such a huge difference from just such small changes.
I’m convinced Lisa’s got a Dorian Gray portrait in her attic. She never ages. I’ve been watching since 2010 and her techniques are an amazing blend of tried and true, yet always fresh, modern and innovative. It could only come from someone with a comprehensive knowledge and passion for their craft. Invaluable as always! Thank you for all the free knowledge! You’re such a blessing!
To be precise, some "help" from botox and fillers has been noticeable throughout the recent years. There is nothing wrong with it unless one pretends there has been none.
@@englishwithanerudite -- I notice that she has had "work", particularly Botox.
My husband looked at me doing my makeup and asked “how do you know when you’re done?”
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
😂
Yes! 100%! This is something I've realized as I've gotten 'wiser' (I'm over 55). Good prep, good moisture, light application, and good blending truly go a long way to accentuating my features in a kind way. Another tip I've learned is to mix moisturizer with foundation to sheer it out and add a dewey finish.
Great tips xxx
And perfect skin/skincare behind it all!!!!!
My glamourous nana always had a clean 2nd powder puff and brush to do exactly this, so as a little girl, sitting on the floor watching her, I absorbed this technique and have always done the same ... it really makes a massive difference .. I even keep a small set of 2/3 clean brushes in my car so that when I see myself in the rear-view mirror I can correct quickly thrown on make-up especially around jawline/neck (tide-lines my nana called them!!), I am LOVING your new skin-tint BTW, it is fantastic .. I even use a small amount as concealer when using your foundation because it doesn't crease and blends beautifully!!!
What a glamorous nana 😍 Xx
Great tip to keep a brush in the car. Thanks.
This information is GOLD. Love you Lisa! You are the best makeup artist. You always make your subjects look so natural and at their best.
Thank you so much - glad you love the tips xxx
Absolutely! No comparison. ❤️
Absolutely agree - particularly when I observe American women wearing makeup, just too heavy and made up.
I love this idea - going to pull out my unused brushes to see which ones will do this job! My tip: When I’m all done with my makeup I always crumple a tissue into a ball and ever so lightly tap around my face - it picks up makeup that may be just sitting atop the skin as well as doing a final tap-buff - it’s also great throughout the day just on the parts of the face that may get shiny
I do the tissue thing too haha - sometimes my fingers suffice!
Blending but also not excessive amounts of makeup! I can’t believe when I see tutorials how much foundation and concealer they pack on. Usually the skin is good but there is the idea of baking for the day. It’s the Bobbi Brown WTF phenomenon, more experience with make up means you know how much you actually need to use
Exactly. I agree 💯%. The older I get, the more I realize that less makeup (especially complexion products) is actually the golden rule. You look even better.
Right - smaller amounts for buildable coverage
That green sweater is beautiful on you!
Lisa, your skin is absolutely flawless, it’s like glass. Beautiful.
I have always done this, as I have watched you for years, and the seamless blend at the end with the clean, flat top kabuki is like the full stop..xxx
Same. I have several brushes exclusively for this purpose.
I use my fingers to just pare it back and blend down.
You have really been listening and watching well!!! xxxx
@@pheart2381 yes always apply foundation with my fingers! So much better imo
Lisa, I've been watching you since your first video on KZhead. I used to be obsessed with tutorials. The main difference I've always noticed between and the rest is how light handed you are with makeup. You are the epitome of perfection and I keep learning so much from you. You use makeup to enhance beauty, not to "look at me, I've got a face full of makeup". Thank you!
Yes. This IS essential for a seamless looking makeup.Thanks for reiterating this technique to us. Sometimes we need that reminder, Lisa.
I first saw this on your channel when Michael Ashton was a guest and gave us the Adele tutorial. He called it “polishing.” I loved that tutorial, such a talented guy ❤
I clicked on this video so fast to learn a coveted Lisa tip and instead I was validated that my clean brush technique I've been doing for years make a huge difference! I've even had a young college girl ask me how I blended out my blush because it was so natural and I told her about using a clean brush to blend out the edges and soften it up. I started using a clean brush after my base many years ago because I wanted to to smooth it out and absorb some of the moisture before applying my powder products! Thank you Lisa for all the wonderful tips. Edit to add that I commented this before I finished the video and I love how you address us finger appliers! I myself love using my fingers and yes it makes a big difference :)
I adore this tip - it really is something a true artist would do, like a way of achieving texture with oil paint or subtlety of wash with watercolour. That's what I love most about your videos - your depth of knowledge and how you make your techniques accessible to others. Thankyou xx
Thank you so much for watching xxx
Holy crap, I DO know what I'm doing! Post application buffing used to drive my instructor insane but I always liked the way it looked, which is seamless. Thank you for the validation. ❤
I'm so glad that you still film your tutorials, as well as sharing your product launches; much as I adore your products! Some people don't, and it spoils their channel. I love your videos! A x
Your approach to makeup being so seamless and subtle and looking so flawless is so inspiring. I'll definitely be incorporating this step in my routine in the future. Cheers!
Omg so lovely! This is why your makeup looks are timeless and soooo flattering. Great tip, especially for us mature ladies. Thank you Lisa!😘
Such a class act Lisa! Thanks for continuing to upload tips and tricks! ❤❤❤
Lisa I just LOVE your makeup philosophy!! I so agree with you. Thank you for sharing. You are always a breath of fresh air.
Love this tip Lisa! ❤ Thank you for sharing! Your makeup looks natural & gorgeous! 😍
You are timeless and ageless Lisa. Be it your skills, professionalism and your skin. I've been watching you since I was in uni! That is over 10 years ago❤
Thank you so much for watching all these years xxx
You make even full coverage makeup look so unbelievably ‘Skin Tint” natural… always gorgeous.❤
Wow, what a difference - especially the eyes - thank you. I am 54 and am definitely going to give this a try. Never too old to learn.
One of the only makeup artists worth watching. So elegant and timeless. Thank you Lisa ❤
Game Changer! Love this video so much. I have never ever seen anyone talk about this nor demonstrate it so you can see how radically polished the makeup looks from "good makeup application" to "professional makeup application". Seriously Lisa, I hate to single people out like this because there are so many awesome artists in this industry but you are simply the best...period....done...end of story! Thank you so much for sharing all your secrets, for making incredible makeup that sends us all in a frenzy (and jewelry) - love you, love you, love you - thank you!
I agree totally the makeup looks so much better & me skin like Thanks for sharing Lisa ❤
You are absolutely the Queen of blending and perfecting ❤
Seeing you on YT made my day Lisa. I really appreciate that you share your expertise with us. ❤from Canada. 🇨🇦
I cannot get over how much I love the new tint. Deeeeelicious!
So glad you love it 😘😘
How is it sitting over sunscreen? I have total nightmare all the time with any base (and I use the tiniest amount) or blended concealer, just disintergrating over the sunscreen after about two hours!
I know this video is about blending etc, but the eye look is smashing! And since you showed us the blending technique, I got to see the steps of the eye enough to try it myself. Thank you, Lisa!
Thank you. I think it’s as important to know how to take things down a notch as it is to apply the makeup in the first place. You always explain things so well ❤
I tried your technique this morning and it made such a difference. Thank you for sharing !
Your attention to detail makes you so incredible at your job, Lisa. Even after 10+ years of subscribing to this channel, I keep learning so much from your videos. Thank you for this killer technique!
Thank you so much xx
Brilliant, Lisa! I adore your “tips”. I am 75 and don’t even use foundation unless I’m am doing a full on evening look and still then, very light cover. I use a fine tip brush to apply to age spots on my face and even then just apply and blend. I have been using a “Stands Out” beauty sponge to soften my make up. But using a clean brush would be the perfect tool. Thank you always! ♥️
Yes, I love your philosophy on makeup, Lisa! I love the “your skin but better look” but it can only be achieved by getting rid of some makeup that makes it look like makeup. Fabulous as always ❤
I used this concept subconsciously at some steps of make up, but thank you for putting it together and demonstrating it so beautifully! 🥰
Thx Lisa ❤❤❤
I love that Sigma high cheek highlighter brush, it's useful for so much! Real Techniques brushes are inexpensive enough to have multiples on hand for blending/finalizing. The elf Ultimate Blending brush is good too. Finally, a shout-out to the good old-fashioned Fuller Brush Company. Not a high-glamour name, but their makeup brushes are very good, reasonably-priced, and have smooth wooden handles that are delightful to hold.
I am always amazed at how I need a brush to feel good in my hands. The handles are, to me, just as important as the brush itself.
these are great suggestions, thank you so much for sharing xx
Wow! What a natural beauty you are 😍
I've been having problems with applying cream blush on my face, and I can't wait to try out this technique! You're really amazing and it's been so helpful to follow your advice.
I'm another person who gets lots of compliments on my makeup and I credit you a lot! You've been a huge teacher for me and I love how you've never been down on trends and approach everything in the spirit of fun while still executing these stylish modern and very beautiful looks!
thank you for such a lovely comment, I'm so pleased you've enjoyed all the tutorials and tips 🥰🥰
Love these tips! Blending with clean brushes makes makeup look more natural and less “painted-on”
❤️❤️❤️
Amazing tip Lisa. The makeup looks so seamless! So happy I found u on my makeup journey..❤
What a great reminder to blend and learning to expand on the technique. I’ve definitely learned from you and passed on the mantra that we as amateurs probably never blend enough.
I have 2 flat top brushes I reserve for just this step, one from Zoeva and one from Sonia G (also used to buff powder). I find that this process even works with a base as seamless as your foundation and skin tint. Thanks Lisa.
OK.....this is probably one of the most helpful tips I've heard 👏 ❤
Blending is something i have been doing quite a bit. Sometimes, I'm a bit too enthusiastic, lol. My fav for all-over blending is a big floofy fan brush I bought yrs ago at sephora. It feels like a dream and blends it all. Thank you Lisa!
Love it! I use that technique every day, with a sponge for the base and a brush for the rest. Thank you, Lisa, for your commitment to the craft of beauty; I'm a fan!
YES! I have been doing this with my eyes & foundation. It was kind of an accident because I was frustrated with the bit of patchiness in my foundation after I applied it. I got another brush to blend it and realized it looked much better. Now you just legitimized it! Thank you for another great video💖
so pleased you found a way to help the application 💘 and thank you for watching! xx
SOS! I just turned 43 and my skin/face is officially on the downward spiral! No matter what product/technique I try, every foundation and tinted moisturiser sits in the crease of my nasiolabial folds within seconds and concealer sits in the new lines under my eyes. If you did a video on how to do makeup for the transitional period of aging, I would love you forever. I've learned so much from you!
Great idea - skin prep is always key and applying your base / concealer in light layers xx
@@LisaEldridge Thank you! I’ll tie my face back with clothes pegs if I have to.
@@raywri😂 same if I could I would 💯
I am 47. A good skincare routine that is moisture heavy is your BFF. Look for skincare with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides , centella, sodium pca, and/or glycerin. You need a sunscreen, Korean and Japanese ones are my faves.

Lovely as always Lisa! I would love to see you do a split face to show the difference of advanced techniques that will make all the difference in your makeup. Positioning of blush application etc etc. Thanks!
What an interesting concept! This is the first time I hear this advice. Thank you Lisa❤
I’d love for you to talk about overblending, how to avoid, how to fix it ❤
What?
These tips are why I only watch you for makeup videos! I’ve always had issues with foundation application around and between my brows. I can’t wait to try a clean brush to help remove and blend my makeup around my brows. Loving the new skin tint and your lip glosses (I know they aren’t new but oh my! I’m addicted to them for work! So easy and my lips are less dry and flaky!)
So glad the videos are helpful and you're loving your products xxx
Lisa's techniques are the main reason I feel confident in trying and improving on any makeup look I want, and the amount of makeup saved on each attempt thanks to her doesn't hurt either lol. You're an amazing professional, and thanks for sharing your hard earned knowledge with us.
That purple eyes shadow is beautiful ❤
Fourth! This advice is in several of your other videos, but it's awesome to have a chance to get the techno and tricks all together. Thanks!
Fourth???
@@smileandsaycheese44 The first person to comment on this video, just said "First." So, since I was the fourth comment, I put "Fourth." Just to be funny.
Ohhhh I get ya 😀
What a wonderful tip! I always use a clean brush for my blush only but not for foundation or anything else. Thank you for this tutorial!
Yes! I have been doing this on my eyes to blend shadows for a few years now. But I’m going to expand to include the rest of my face. THANK YOU LISA! ❤
I do exactly the same thing in every makeup! Not only for my clients but also on myself. Gives the impression of an airbrushed finished makeup and even better! ❤❤❤❤
😍😍😍
I love this video Lisa. What a gift 🎁. Thank you so much 💓
I learnt this technique from just watching your videos over the past 10 years! Love it! ❤
I think this is going to revolutionise my makeup. Thank you so much ❤ Your makeup is so easy to apply and get a good result with anyway but this seems like it will take it to an even higher level. I'm so grateful. I know makeup isn't everything but it is gives me much needed confidence to get through things, when I know it goes on well
This is something I have never done but from tomorrow morning I will be . I have lots of brushes that are suitable for this. Thank you Lisa 😊
Thank you Lisa.❤
Love it! A small clean brush also works wonders to buff over small spots where even the thinnest base layer will travel & settle into my lines/creases by the end of the day.
This is gonna be a real game changer for my makeup, thanks Lisa
Beautifully done! ❤❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing this!
Gorgeous as always Lisa! I totally agree about some people out there using way too much make up its straight scary! Just pouring foundation all over their face! I'm all for your approach, less is more when it comes to make up! Thank you for this great tip! I personally really got into make up and learned so much watching your videos! There is honestly no one out there like you!❤
Ahhh this is so great!! I do this but usually only if I feel I've put on too much bronzer, blush, etc. I've recently started blending my eyeshadow for a long while and that's been magical. Excited to try this with my base products as well. Makeup is so fun 🥹🥹
Thank you Lisa and love from South of France
You can see the clear perfection on 05:15 the blush application is so fricking natural and blended.
Thank you!!! Now I know what to use all my brushes for💝 I'll have a try!
So beautiful! I love this color palette for spring
Me too 😘🌸
Brilliant thank you Lisa xx
I’m constantly cleaning my brushes during my makeup application. This was very informative. Thank you!
I also see those videos when people do this heavy makeup. And they always look so amazing so sometimes i'm thinking that this is the trend right now. But I dont feel good in same makeup. It's good to ber reminded that there's still other ways to make youself feel beautiful. Thank you. ❤
What an amazing tip, I tend to do that with my eyes and blush, but never thought to do it with my base......new "clean" brushes on my shopping list thanks so much you look flawless xx
and this is why I love you Lisa
Oh you're so gorgeous Lisa, very skillful Thankyou Mark x
effortless, gorgeous, and so helpful. per usual 💜
WOW, this is a great tip. I love it and will be using it. I may even purchase a new brush or two and reassign older brushes. Thank you. I love watching and learning your make-up tips.
You look flawless ❤I love your look without packing on tons of different coloured makeup
Love the simple no nonsense tips Lisa.
❤️❤️❤️
Yes to this!! I sometimes you a clean blender to pick up excess. Also a clean brush to blend contour into foundation just gives it that flawless blend!
Thank you so much for explaining this, I will definitely try this technique. 😊
I just stumbled upon this video and was such a pleasure to watch ..... I unknowingly would end up doing this to make my face look softer after makeup , your voice is so good and it’s a well done video .
Thank you Lisa.
Loving your work Lisa x
Absolutely beautiful as always, Lisa! Your skin is looking particularly gorgeous and glowy these days, any chance you'd consider sharing not only your skincare, but also any procedures you've had done or do regularly (e.g., lasers, peels, facials, and/or Botox and fillers)? I know many may consider that outside the realm of makeup and artistry but I think it all contributes to your canvas, so to speak.
Thank you so much. It really made my make-up look more natural and it doesn’t feel heavy.
Thank you Lisa! Your tips are always so helpful. Have a lovely day!
❤️❤️❤️
