A Classic Case of Winter Face - Makeup and Chat with Alexa Chung

[@cheyennebarton]

"i look horrible" "my skin just looks bad" she's so stunning, but you really sometimes just have really bad days where nothing changes your perspective on yourself, and it's nice to know that someone as charming and honestly so gorgeous as alexa chung has bad days like that too.

[@cierra7246]

I love that wearing red lipstick to the pub is too much for Alexa but I wear red lipstick to the grocery store.

[@biaplushpoison]

I feel the same hahahha

[@naani1993]

africkso I starten doing that too once I Heard Lisa say "I Love a red lip when it's out of Context" just with casual Jeans and a tshirt

[@mplight2941]

@@biaplushpoison lol me too!

[@kkmarrrrr]

"I um... look horrible" * looks fantastic *

[@kathryndesplanque7958]

+mmarianka Followed by a peppering of the most adorable way of pronouncing "dewy" ever

[@tinyyuki]

+mmarianka I know, i couldn't see one "issue" I wouldn't mind having. No dark circles, even skintone no left over hyper pigmentation from any breakouts.

[@unapologeticallymj]

+mmarianka She does and she is sooo cool too! I love her personality.

[@paolachellew5155]

+mmarianka I would take her winter face any day! Not a drop of makeup and she looks great.

[@Kareragirl]

+tinyyuki Ugh, hyper pigmentation is the worst! Takes forever to go away.

[@jpeg42069]

LMFAO "you said it baby, not me" That whole rapport there was hilarious 😂👌

[@krazzysu]

If I didn't know her I wouldn't say she had sallow skin to avoid it being interpreted as a negative thing. I would say something else more positive or nothing on the matter. My eyes bulged when I heard these comments and made me think omg hopefully they know each other well... Wow.

[@bumblebee1504]

+krazzysu well in britain there's a thing called banter, so...

[@nataser2011]

+krazzysu it's a British thing. Even Ana Wintour said that we Americans aren't sarcastic and it's short words we get butt hurt for dumb things.

[@Monique9901]

still laughing right now they are so cute!!!!!!

[@krazzysu]

confessionsofacitygirl "its short words"

[@oldtimesong]

I wish Alexa was always your model! What a beautiful, cheerful woman!

[@LisaEldridge]

+oldtimesong agreed, she's a pleasure to make-up! Looking forward to making up that gorgeous face again soon X

[@MsShalalo]

+oldtimesong and hilarious!

[@peek-a-book6551]

+Lisa Eldridge she´s so down to earth and we love her, too! x

[@NurseLucie]

+oldtimesong yes she is hilarious and really makes the tutorial educational but still entertaining.

[@niwedhiemuhandiram8727]

+Lisa Eldridge I'm a big fan of your amazing work and it would be great to see a face slimming contouring tutorial as the holiday parties are around the corner !! Thanks !! :)

[@highlyquestionable8591]

"This is my dream, to wake up looking like this. Sometimes I do because I don't take my makeup off..." 😂😂😂😭😭😭😂😂😂

[@GirlWantsANap]

In today's time, when the rest of the beauty 'gurus' are piling on the face products, its so refreshing to see a high-end professional MUA go minimalist with her evening makeup. This was just amazing Lisa.

[@MACMAKEUPJUNKEE]

I know! That's why I unsubscribed to a lot of them a long time ago! I worked as an MUA and I would sometimes get women who would be like should u be using more I'm like um no but then they saw their final result and they loved it!

[@joyhana3542]

+MACMAKEUPJUNKEE Nice! I once had my face done by an industry makeup artist, curtesy of my cousin. It was lovely that he got this guy to do the makeup for me, I appreciated it. But, realised then too that just because you have the MUA title doesn't mean you're good. It was good makeup but felt like he piled on a lot on my face, and that there weren't any variations in regards to how he did my face and how he did the other family members. (Dirty brushes too... which is bad for someone who has rosacea) I think it takes a lot of, not just skills, but awareness of individual faces to become an excellent makeup artist like Lisa. I think makeup should always be about enhancing, not covering/ changing the face that you no longer look like yourself (if that makes sense).

[@joyhana3542]

+MACMAKEUPJUNKEE Also, once on holiday I got my makeup done at the hairdressers... I think they used the 'Kardashian' map of contouring on my face, which obviously meant plying loads of foundation and bronzer, isn't it?... I guess I felt bad, half felt like it was my fault and didn't want to embarrass both of us, that I just allowed it. It was very silly of me thinking like that.. Anyways, makeup made me look like a drag queen..... I should have done the makeup myself because even if I didn't know how to do the skin, I can very well do my eyes pretty well. It's just that I've seen this type of 'contouring' everywhere that I thought... I don't know, it should work for me too because it's everywhere. Most MUA on YT do this, and if it didn't work for me, it's somehow my fault... But obviously, I know better now (never been into contouring in the first place). Also, this type of contouring don't suit a lot of Asian faces, imo, as I realise now.

[@quixotic7460]

"I like to curl my own lashes because I get scared of other people coming at me with contraptions" LOL

[@simplysona]

Such a pretty and effortless look. She's so funny by the way. Love the chemistry you two have.

[@eps3154]

When Alexa Chung first came out, I thought - 'wow, she seems really pretty in a scrappy, cool-girl kind of way.' With the make up, I thought, 'Ok. Yeah. She's definitely a model.' Gorgeous! I love Lisa Eldrige's tutorials, the problem is that it's hard to replicate because I don't have the eye for color she does. Everything is so harmonic, intentional & *tailored* to each model... A true artist.

[@lilyraimey3499]

I'm sorry.... Alexa is just so perfect. Her eyes are stunning, her personality is so vibrant, her sense of humor is great, her laugh is contagious, and her voice is indescribably attractive... Ugh!!

[@rodrigoanicelli5747]

Lily Raimey exactly!

[@louise-yo7kz]

Her eyes are her greatest asset

[@justkelly2]

Major girl crush, aka just a normal crush

[@coffeefordinner]

I wish Alexa would come over to the House of Eldridge more often! Her banter with Lisa is hilarious. 😂

[@BlairWaldorf2013]

Only Lisa can ADAPT so fast and make a client that wasn't to keen on the lip LOVE it in the end. Only a real PRO knows how to make a look the way the client wants while also staying true to her style.

[@sacredhoeisms]

Lisa, I'm Black. I'm MAC NW43 deep. When I see yt videos for my skin its always heavy and drag inspired. I love how you do make up and I wanted to know if you could do a video for darker skin. Just like this one with products in shades I can use. Thank you! Great video!

[@theluxuryminimalistraveler]

+Giana Stallworth I agree Giana. its is extremely difficult to find makeup videos these days with black women, or any women for that matter, with a natural-looking base. all i seem to find are those masking their face with tons of foundation/concealer/contour. I hope you watch Lisa's earlier video's featuring black women. they're pretty good!

[@VeronicaCBurgess]

I believe Lisa has a few videos that feature deeper skin.

[@quagmire541]

I kinda feel like Alexa acts like a sarcastic child and Lisa, her responsible mother in these videos. Of course in a good way; it's very cute. And then Alexa looks just fabulous from beginning to end.

[@guidododo4822]

Thought the same of her.Fantastic makeup, though. But, So annoying to a watch grown woman act like a needy child.

[@LiefsLotte]

Alexa Chung reminds me so much of Harry Styles. Am I crazy or does anybody else see it too? Her voice, humor and overall personality is like a female version of Harry.

[@rileykindley6686]

+Lottelovesbeauty YES I WAS THINKING THIS

[@jmchingstaccato]

+Lottelovesbeauty I was thinking the same thing!!! like even those small facial expressions she made remind me of Harry too! I guess they were spending too much time together as they are pals ;D

[@jmchingstaccato]

Salhi Meriem they did. I remember Alexa presented the british style award to Harry before and that's was very funny 😜

[@ameliegruhn971]

+Lottelovesbeauty Haha, YES!!!

[@brittanywerdowatz6883]

She's like the female version of him! Lol so weird everyone noticed

[@Soobeauty_official]

I never get tired of watching this video..Both of the ladies are so charming and funny and beautiful

[@maybha2024]

8 years later and this look still works. Absolute classic!

[@beabee2000]

You and Alexa are so funny together! She seems modest and down to earth but cheeky lol

[@daxxark1165]

I adore Alexa she is as sarcastic as I am and hilarious!

[@LisaEldridge]

+Brittanny Pegg she IS hilarious, I have so much love for her X

[@rayotaptiklis8789]

I adore Hakuhodo brushes! Then again practically everything that Lisa uses is top notch.

[@mrs_mooeing]

would love to see Kate Winslet on your channel!!!

[@MalenkyGoblin]

+p7h00j33 Wonder if she's brave enough to be seen without makeup on. For many women it's akin to being seen naked.

[@MalenkyGoblin]

***** Not for all women, but many of the women in my life feel that way.

[@SH-ek7yl]

I don't think she had any makeup on when she was on that show with Bear Grylls.

[@sabrinaliuhoyan]

+MalenkyGoblin But she has been naked on screen... just a thought.

[@MalenkyGoblin]

sabrina liu Body makeup and good lighting can make a big difference there as well.

[@BubblEsther]

When she says she look horrible, but she looks better than me at my best😂 I just want her brows, lips, nose...... and basically her face! This makeup look is so beautiful, LOVE it!

[@KaansRoom]

+BubblEsther shame she dropped modeling at a very early age. she'd be ruling the fashion scene today not kendall jenner ugh!

[@montygrl4131]

Your interaction with Alexa is fun to watch. It's interesting to see the dichotomy of her strong opinions with the vulnerability of thinking she looked bad. Humanizing and funny. I like to show videos like these to my preteen daughter so she can see everyone, even the amazing Alexa Chung, has moments of self doubt, but it's how you react that makes a difference.

[@calendula978]

Alexa looks naturally so pretty and Lisa showed her real beauty by using the best shades. An artist.

[@solangepolegar]

How does one get to that stage in life where one just drops by your house/studio and says "I look dreadful" and you take care of said one? Sigh... One can dream, though, can't she? ;)

[@ninninin656]

+Solange Santos Hahaha, so true, right? Must be amazing to be a celebrity in London, xD.

[@Kristina__K]

+Solange Santos They're obviously friends...

[@susanlie2719]

Alexa: "I look horrible" Lisa: "... Yeah right" Love this duo!

[@breeball8553]

"Have I got small pox?" haha she is so funny!

[@MsAsb-zx4sr]

+Bree Ball This made me literally laugh out loud.

[@taptheveins]

I keep coming back to this months later because of how funny Alexa and Lisa are in this. Such warmth!

[@Powerof923]

"When I said I was going out I meant to the pub" 😂

[@xXPuNkRoCkRulesXx]

HAHAHAHAHA omg I love her. She's so funny. Alessa: "You're all about that base, bout that base, no treble." me: DEAD. and I love how calm Lisa was about it too, I would've screamed

[@juliaaa1111]

I can't even deal with Alexa, she's just perfect. So gorgeous and clever.

[@natalialopez1197]

She is naturally beautiful but Lisa does MAGIC with her little hands!!! Full of talent!!

[@RACHELKAPPIUS]

I love how attainable your looks are! Sometimes when I watch tutorials I feel like I could never do the looks, but your videos are so gorgeous and I always feel like I could recreate them on myself. This look is so simple yet makes such an impact.

[@turdusmerula1831]

I love how Alex goes fishing for compliments the whole time. Her skin looks luscious and pretty to begin with and totally stellar at the end.

[@tinyyuki]

I LOVE how Alexa wasn't afraid to say that the red lipstick was too much for her. You often see people just go with whatever the make up artist wants in tutorials.

[@kelsbeauty2246]

I will watch this video on repeat until I can absorb her confidence and humor through osmosis.

[@lapharmacie98]

Yes Yes another makeup tutorial with Alexa Chung by Lisa Eldridge (who are both so stunning btw) like IS THIS REAL LIFE

[@ItsJillStrif]

Loved it so much. Alexa is so funny and there's nobody better than Lisa at makeup artistry!

[@BethanHortonVlogs]

Yessssss I love when you do Alexa's makeup! She is so beautiful I can't even cope

[@haijodee]

" I go really red when I drink" That's the ASIAN GLOOOOOOW haha

[@jdishmael001]

the two of you are AMAZING together

[@ashleys5453]

Wow.. Alexa is HILARIOUS and so beautiful! Awesome video.. and what a great tip for toning down a red lip. thanks!

[@Intentional_living]

lisa you are so funny in this video! i felt like i learned more about you as a person other than your professional talent. it was really funny when you said " you said it baby" haha that was very new

[@RoseSananikone]

Alexa's personality and voice makes me so happy Is that weird?? I want to be her friend hahahah

[@LoveandPr_]

Alexa is so beautiful that she doesn't even need a STITCH of makeup...even better...her personality is to die for. #coolchick

[@mondiialiito]

i love her personality! Absolutely refreshing

[@anettep4429]

I absolutely love Alexas sense of humor. She is realy nice and true.

[@observeirene]

This makeup honesty looks so good. I love color combo between the eyeshadow and lips. Also admire how she lightened the shade of the lip with lip balm and blush. Great technique that I might try !!

[@TheProzacx]

I'm starring at that ONE (!?) eyeshadow on her lid and can't believe how great that looks on the eye..so many different shades , it seems.. so simple but so effective. is it just the beauty of the model, the skills of lisa or the quality of the product? ALTOGETHER, I guess

[@noemichow9687]

I really love how candid she is. It makes her a very tangible person, its just so cool to see.

[@Alfiewow]

She's so lovely

[@annieabroad9938]

I love how her natural skin still glows through the make up and is not masked by it whatsoever. This is why I love your makeup techniques, Lisa! You're my favorite makeup guru! xoxo

[@ankitasuman468]

In this video she is looking like she is sister of Ian somerhalder. Anyway Love this makeup look and I wish I can have skin like hers in winter.

[@grazielaalmeida8438]

I think a little bit Jared leto

[@heidiiaj1348]

I need Alexa’s beauty routine, she’s flawless and her dry sense of humor is great!!

[@PoppyRawson1]

I laughed so much through this video I love her sense of humour 😂 and a lovely look as always Lisa

[@sarathesaraa4756]

I love that Alex's is so goofy and giggly

[@sarathesaraa4756]

Alexa*

[@donutcare9680]

True talent!!!! I have been bored of the over-applied makeup as of late. Seems all of KZbin is saturated with a thick layer of drag face. I would love to see a look with tinted red lips and silver eyeliner.

[@eelivia]

Gosh I love Alexa's wit and humour!

[@GenuineGlow]

Lisa you are brilliant, and Alexa's spontaneity is so refreshing. Love this makeup look. I wish I knew how to adapt it to suit my face 😩

[@lornachesney85]

I agree, Alexa is gorgeous, with or without make up. Has given me inspiration. Off to try it!

[@mybuddysarahh]

Can she be a weekly occurrence? You two have such great chemistry!

[@vashtiramsaroop5410]

STUNNING lip!!! Lisa you're a fantastic artist who is accessible, kind, and part of what made this a great video was that you truly listened to Alexa and did your best to minister to her needs. You're a superstar! Thank you for sharing.

[@cakilguldal1]

i love your collabs with alexa! thank you for the vid!

[@jilliannelson1579]

I love her very blunt comments during her makeup applications, and also both looks have just been gorgeous! She's so much fun to watch and I hope she's featured again, soon!

[@shapeshifter2303]

It's amazing how we are never happy with ourselves! She's a natural beauty!

[@ChocolateJewels]

Goodness, that kid is gorgeous (and funny as heck)! Love the interaction between Lisa and her. Fascinating to watch Lisa’s hand work with the brushes.

[@connier.8775]

I was mesmerised by Lisa’s enhancement of Alexa’s brows 🤯🤯🤯

[@jessemeyer3628]

Love her so much. Shes so natural and free spirited. I think she makes the perfect model for tutorials. Shes inspired but doesnt talk over the host. Xo

[@calahara]

I tend to really dislike foundation, I always feel like a blank sheet or empthy canvas and so I remove it immediately, even though it covers up pimples and imperfections as well (though sometimes it just gathers around the pimpel and makes it look even worse). But this looks really nice! You can still see the freckles and her skin has that nice glow without looking powdery. Looks very natural, none of that big contouring or things looking forced. And she is really gorgeous, the smokey eye makes her green-blue eye-color pop out even more. ♥

[@bailangwang]

This girl is so gorgeous. The eyes, the smile... And her voice! She is the most gorgeous person I have ever seen. With or without the makeup. Seriously.

[@shpresasulo]

This video came at the perfect time. Lovely as always!

[@fernandoangon1129]

It's such a pleasure hearing Lisa and Alexa have a conversation. They both sound so eloquent and their voices have such a pleasant timbre to them. Plus they're both beautiful and seem so genuine! ❤️💋.

[@jasiminirimini7904]

Alexa is one of the coolest.

[@kimisilv]

I love when she is in studio. She is ridiculously hilarious. What a fun person to know! Great look (as always).

[@ElleIsForLiving]

I loved this. She is GORGEOUS and I loved the chit chat :-) ♥ Elle

[@Foofie2005]

I know Elle ...She is Stunning !! With and without her makeup :-)

[@marybuck5946]

Gosh. The absolute master. What you did perfecting the skin, smudging that eye & toning down that lip was perfection. Watching an artist at work!

[@xxcrazylukexx]

"I look horrible" I wish I looked horrible like Alexa haha Beautiful look!

[@anisa84rashid]

I could listen to you talk all day. Such a lovely relaxing voice. Loving this look too. So pretty

[@auricia201]

I'll show this video each time some makeup store lady tells me that I NEED to pluck my eyebrows 'to clean them a bit' -__- I like my natural brows, but I have been afraid to go and look for eyebrow products because I know I'll be told that 'I can't do makeup on unplucked eyebrows'. My 'problem' is having some sparse hair under the arch. Alexa's eyebrows are great, and she didn't get rid of the sparse hair to make them more defined. It's very rare to see that. So here I have the example I needed to convince people! XD I also liked the lipstick tip. I'll sure try that one since I'm not ready to use red lipstick yet ^^ Thank you for the video!

[@suzan1mal]

Okay...she's a scream. Great sense of humor. Natural beauty. I'm sure many of us would love to start the day looking like her skin. Great look!

[@jasminschafer4660]

Lisa I was wondering (if you read your comments) if you could do an Amy Winehouse inspired tutorial. Amy is such a wonderful artist and you have done amazing tutorials so I was just wondering if you could maybe when you have time to do one of her. I would love it and I mean I love all of your videos anyways but I was just wondering if it is at all possible.

[@LisaEldridge]

+Jasmin Schafer Great idea! X

[@jiranma]

You've gotten your wish now!

[@jazwhoaskedforthis]

Oh heck, it happened! Amy Winehouse makeup tutorial happened!

[@isnilk]

Wow this really shows the transformative powers of good makeup. Alexa was beautiful before but she looks stunning after! And the makeup just accentuates her natural beauty, it’s amazing...

[@dionnaherfurth8372]

Alexander Cung is insanely beautiful!! Love what you did to tone down her lips!!

[@st_1928_]

Dionna Herfurth *Alexa Chung

[@cathdonne]

I love how she turned the bright red lip into that beautiful lip colour in such a seamless way.

[@Alegory100]

Omg she is amazingly gorgeous before and definitely after! Your work is flawless and the true definition of effortless ! Xoxoxo from California

[@hannahb3432]

Very possibly my favorite tutorial because of the fun banter. I mean, all your tutorials are great but the friendship and comfort level is really fun.

[@alexandraphipps]

Wow. Alexa actually has quite a rough, contrarian, masculine personality you can see poking through. Very different to Lisa's soft and easy agreeableness.

[@anneraven1]

Dear Lisa -- I hope you are having a wonderful holiday! My sister is expecting her first baby (a baby girl!). We were talking over the holiday about how much we love your videos, and especially your videos that have a bit of chatting about self-care directed at a particular time of life, including your break-up makeup, makeup after a long night out, traveling, etc. You have such great tips, and your chats are so soothing. It's like listening to an old girlfriend or sister. Anyway, we would LOVE if you would consider making a video about makeup/self-care for post-partum, new moms. We'd love to hear your pearls of wisdom! All the best! And congrats on your beautiful new book!

[@EmelyAguino]

"I have an eyeshadow brush" 😂 she's adorable! Beautiful look Lisa!;)

[@SuperBonnie1969]

I love this video. I appreciate that she wanted her lip changed. Also your fantastic way of showing us how to change from feeling like we are to much to feeling comfortable. You are such an elegant woman.

[@madellinar]

If she's horrible then what am I😂😂

[@daniellezm]

Alexa is so funny! Lisa, I love how you transformed the bold lip into something more toned down but still distinctive.

[@AdiMendelowitz]

How do you keep the smokey eye from running down and ending up looking at the end of night like a drug-addicted panda?

[@Snackcrab]

The playful banter in this one is so funny. I love it. I'd watch an Alexa video anytime!

[@mgparis]

LOL @ You said it baby, not me! - good one Lisa :)

[@rachelleigh4035]

I think I've watched this video 10+ times already because it's insanely helpful for boosting one's (sallow) complexion in the cold months. Also the banter is too funny. Thanks Lisa for sharing your amazing techniques with us X

[@blythesmith4521]

Love seeing Alexa's face ! Hope to see her more on your channel 😍😍

[@leahlu9703]

she is so stunning ! her skin looks perfect!

[@FrancescaVillani13]

Love that Alexa didn't want to go for the "diva" look, but she preferred a more "normal girl" makeup! She seems like a really down-to-earth person.
