Notes From Lisa Eldridge
How would describe your brand in one sentence?
My collection is the embodiment of the understanding and trust I hold with my clients and community, where I look to provide the tools and confidence for everyone to experiment creatively and enhance their own unique, natural beauty.
What’s one thing you’ve learned since you launched, that you wish you had known sooner?
Perfection takes TIME.
Creating skincare and makeup comes with a host of unique challenges and intricacies. Due to the sheer volume of research, not to mention the clinical trials, that go behind my formulas, I have naturally spent many years rigorously trying, testing and curating them.
I need to absolutely know that they will be the best-in-class, high-performance formulas of my dreams that would be suitable for everyone – and achieving this has been the greatest, but most rewarding challenge since I have launched.
Why did you create the Liquid Lurex Eyeshadow?
With Liquid Lurex Eyeshadow - I wanted to create the ultimate luxurious, easy-to-use, ‘one and done’ liquid eyeshadows, in unique shades that will give an effortless, multi-dimensional look…. With minimum effort and maximum effect!
Lisa Eldridge Liquid Lurex Eyeshadow
What’s your favourite thing about the product?
In all my years of being a makeup artist - I was never able to find creamy eye shadows that didn’t leave lids (of any age) looking crepey, but my Liquid Lurex Eyeshadows (and my new Liquid Silk Eyeshadows!) contain an incredible, lid-smoothing ingredient called Lapacho Bark - a unique oil-based, eco-friendly ingredient that improves skin firmness and has an immediately noticeable smoothing effect. It makes application a dream and the finish smooth and seamless.
Do you have any expert tips, or favourite ways to apply it?
Just dab on with the doe-foot directly on to lids, and blend out with fingertips for a shimmering wash of colour. Liquid Lurex can also be used as an eyeliner either using a small liner brush or blended as a smoky line along the upper and lower lash line for a subtle flash of shimmering colour. It’s so easy to use and perfect for this time of year… you can’t go wrong with a sprinkle of sparkle!
When it comes to advent calendars: are you an “open all at once” or a “strictly one day at a time” person?
I’m definitely a "one day at a time" person - it means you can start every day with a gorgeous surprise!
