The legendary makeup and skincare expert shares her insider know-how with Liberty
To celebrate the arrival of the Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar 2024, and to help you get excited to open those Liberty print drawers (opened them already? We won’t tell…) we’re speaking to the founders behind some of our favourite brands in the calendar to hear the stories behind the products inside.
If you want to keep the mystery alive until December: consider this your spoiler warning, if you don’t mind a little teaser: get set for tips, tricks and insider stories from the very best in the beauty world.
Not got your hands on the Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar 2024 yet? Worth £1,205 but yours for £260, it's packed with 28 products, including 18 full-sized, from the most covetable brands in skincare, make-up, hair and fragrance.
This week’s note comes from Trish McEvoy, who founded her eponymous brand based on the belief that makeup should be two things: joyful and simple. Over 40 years later, and her makeup and skincare lines are beloved for their high-impact results and luxurious formulas.
With Trish McEvoy’s Intense Gel Eyeliner appearing in this year’s Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar, Trish sat down with Liberty to share her founder’s view on what makes it, and the rest of the brand, quite so special.

Notes From Trish McEvoy
How would you describe your brand in one sentence?
Beauty confidence achieved by demystifying your daily routine with results-oriented products.
What’s one piece of advice, a life lesson, or approach to working - that you wish you had known sooner?
Don’t sweat the small stuff! Life's too short to get caught up in the little things that don’t really matter.
Why did you create the Intense Gel Eyeliner?
I created the Intense Gel Eyeliner because my clients want to put their makeup on, forget about it, enjoy their life, and when they look in the mirror, nothing has moved.
What’s your favourite thing about the product?
What I love most about Intense Gel Eyeliner is how easy it is to apply—it is a longwear gel liner in pencil form that glides on and stays put all day without smudging or budging.
Do you have any expert tips, or favourite ways to use it?
I like using it as an invisible liner between the lashes to make the lashes look longer and thicker, giving my eyes more definition.
When it comes to advent calendars: are you an “open all at once” or a “strictly one day at a time” person?
It all depends on the day! If I get it on a day that I want everything now, I’m going to open them all up. If I get it on a day where I want to hold on to the excitement, I will open day by day!
