My Take on The Cold Girl Makeup Trend

[@pamjones6909]

Never apologise for the history bits, Lisa…it’s what sets you apart from everyone else and is truly fascinating (to me at least). Love the passion you have for your art ❤

[@CarryOn-Janet]

I agree!!!

[@maggie2234]

My thought, exactly!! ♥️

[@onipot9639]

Agreed I really wanted to hear more about her work on Wednesday and gothic makeup research in particular

[@Whenlifegivesyoulemonscrochet]

Exactly why I watch her! The history and her color description transport me !

[@belkyb14]

That's true 💯🙌

[@lakeboww]

Being able to pull off this look so beautifully on a not teenager or a twenty something girl's face is an Art.

[@platosfriend]

But to be fair Lisa looks gorgeous and she has perfect skin.

[@justa5570]

Actually this is my favourite look being 45, it really cuts back the age, everyone says, highly recommend 👌

[@Karen-ve6ds]

@Genevieve I don’t think she is in her 50’s yet. I vaguely remember reading something that mentioned she was born in the mid seventies which would put her in her mid to late 40’s. Maybe it was in her book?! I’ll delve into that. I could be wrong of course! She’s stunning whatever her age is.

[@nikyn.2136]

@Genevieve Lisa is 48. Born in 1974.

[@nme653]

This sounds like a backhanded compliment

[@ib4447]

I watched Lisa when I was obsessed with makeup at age 15-18… now I’m 24 and I rarely wear makeup. Just want to say Lisa you are so lovely and you haven’t aged a day. Thanks for teaching me everything I know about makeup

[@8jazz8]

that detail of blending out the edges so that it doesn’t look fake is why I love the end result more than other takes I’ve seen

[@LisaEldridge]

Thank you XX

[@Edward_Avila]

The best take ive seen yet! I often see other people use straight up red, which is a look, but I think can look more like sunburn rather than the flush u get from being in the cold 😗 and I agree, the lip is very korean/chinese style, but what I like is it’s the updated version where you blur the first “base” color outside the lip line so u get more shape. The older version (which i see a lot of people do on social media in the west) involves putting concealer on your lips and just the color in the middle, but i find that it can give u this strange “pursed lip” look 😮

[@oliviat.3825]

Hi Eddie, love your videos so much

[@semirecumbentoneYT]

REMEMBER Edward, so many only think about their looks, their money, their results, in egocentric ignorant and brainless consumption way; Lisa, on the other hand, has wits, guts and love - all her products are free from gruesome animal torture.

She has LIVED by Laura Mercier's Secret Camouflage for as long as I've ever seen her videos. It must be doing something right :P

This reminds me of the "Drunk Girl" blush that was popularized by Japanese and Korean girls around 2016-2017.

[@unknowndeoxys00]

Igari makeup! Really not that long ago. I think the rest of the world then was still stuck on the oversculpted thick brows and super-matte everything look

Indeed, and also, love it when Lisa subtly is like, “Sorry, TikTok kids, everything you think you’re inventing, I already did in the 90s, and more edgy to boot”. Bam. Love that.

[@CarryOn-Janet]

I completely agree!!!

[@MizzKittyBichon]

@@kg8487 I was already starting to do this look during the *summer* before it even became the "I'm cold" look as a way to save time while getting ready for work in the morning. Funny how some of the things you've already been doing for a while all of a sudden go viral.

[@ginabattz9716]

As a makeup artist, I love it when you talk about the 90s. It takes me back to when I discovered Kevyn Aucoin and all the sudden I was making my own blush/bronzer colors (I have to say it was beautiful 😂). ❤ It makes me really happy. 💋

[@RubyTwilite]

I miss those days!

[@MsSneaky0815]

The mascara primer as a snow flake substitute is genius. 😻 Now, I had to stop and "rewind" the videos when you used the mist. I love mists in my skincare routine, and knowing your products there is always a twist on them which makes them all the more special. So, I can't wait for it to be available. 🥰

[@viviennehsieh6629]

I did the stop and the rewind too😂

[@pinkcadillac227]

As someone who has fairly mild rosacea, I am actually excited for this trend! (But I totally understand other rosacea sufferers wouldn't be.) Instead of using foundation/blush on my cheeks, I use concealer on the edges of the redness. I've learned that sometimes it's just better to embrace my natural flush than to fight it.

[@mothmaiden]

As someone else with rosacea, I realized it's a lot easier to even out the pink than conceal it completely. As you probably know, rosacea flush likes to splotch, and if you conceal it via the usual layers of green concealer and foundation, I find it can simply have a mottled look still peep through.

[@user-vv5rz2bd4k]

Me: live in a Nordic country where I get winter flushed every day without any makeup Also me: dropped everything I was doing for this video But seriously Lisa, this is honestly the best take, I love how natural and easy you made it. I've always struggled with blush placement, but now I know what to do thanks to you 🥰

Lisa there is no such thing as a boring make up history lesson coming from you. This look is so fun ! especially with the glitter at the end ! I'll keep an eye out on instagram for those looks you did in the 90s, I'm curious to see what a less glam version of this make up would look like

[@deecee4597]

I love using Benefit's Love Tint blush/lip tint to create a rosy, just-came-in-from-skating look. Long-lasting as well, as a tint!

[@mikkoniiranen1865]

For someone with background in drawing, painting and fashion these are so lovely to watch. Talent mixed with knowledge and heart. Just perfect!!!

[@zoramuney]

Lisa, you are a breath of fresh air. I absolutely love your calm, educational videos, and your BBC program about make-up throughout history. What a gem. I would love to see a video with someone who suffers from melasma. Your take on minimum products that can be used quickly before work would be much appreciated. Also a run down of the best skin prep and products that will not settle into pores and creases.

[@roseelliott2728]

It would be so amazing if you could bring Jenna on your channel and walk us through the process and show your storyboards. I love hearing about how you create.❤

This is the only cheek/blush look that works on my face. I've done it for years. Now I know it has a name!

[@90sHONEY]

Same for me! It's the most universally flattering way to wear blush in my opinion. I had to figure it out by myself, so it's kind of funny to see how this is a "new trend" to some people but just an old habit for others.

[@rocklobstah1876]

I grew up in a snowy winter climate and used to put Dior Show Ice Pearl on my eye lashes for a winter look

[@mimicat2363]

I had a funny experience with Cold girl makeups… I did it and thought I looked really awesome… and then I went for a walk with friends in winter market … by the time we made it to the dinner party, my nature red cheek from the cold+make up made me look like an apple with frostbite 😂😂. My friends all thought I have hypertension, needed medical attention. Lesson learned… no walk in cold for prolonged time after applying makeup for party 😅😅😅🎉🎉

[@2cmrinhfx]

Thank you for the lesson, so interesting. I have to say the trend kind of cracks me up as those of us that live and work in a truly cold country battle this look when coming in from the cold!! You get inside and then suddenly your skin is on fire and your nose is red as heck (& dry). But what I do quite like is the simplicity of it after a few years of square and unnatural brows, overlined lips etc. It certainly is nice & fresh, and you look beautiful as always.

[@oliviamayumi]

i feel like people from the southern hemisphere are always giving disclaimers when making season-specific tutorials, but i think this is the first time i hear it from someone on the north hemisphere! that really brought a smile to my face, props to you, lisa! much love from brazil ♥️♥️♥️

[@Madeline96]

We can just substitute the blue-toned pink with a golden peach blended into blonzer and it's a holiday sunburn look 💕

[@sealswimswim354]

Brisk and ethereal, like a modern Anna Karenina scene. The glitter adds the sense of an elven queen.

[@diffyyninie6286]

That lipstick shade is the prettiest I have ever seen!! 🥺💖

[@agingophelia9812]

Your history lessons are never boring. For me, this look brings back a nice appreciation for velvety matte skin complemented by strategically placed glimmer & shine, which I was all about in the 80s. Your take on it is wonderful.

[@sineadrooney480]

I absolutely love when you dive into makeup history! I love the way you talk about trends, tracking them back to their origins and linking them to societal attitudes at the time. Then, also discussing how they evolve as they're brought back around each time depending on new makeup technology/influenced by other trends. It's what makes your videos so endlessly fascinating (on top of the fact the makeup is just gorgeous! I don't think there's ever been a look I wouldn't wear!) Honestly, I feel like when I hear you talk about makeup it feeds my soul! Please open a school... I was a BA Hons in Lisa Eldridge Studies. (No joke, I'd quit my job and take out a second student loan for that!)

Every time I hear of the cold girl I think of your Lisa Eldridge blush on mountain walk and when you described that color when you first released it! I have been doing it since then with thar blush color when I want that look!

The reason I appreciate you so much is how well you explain so we'll. Your passion is so obvious and it even rubs off on me

[@faizamhabib]

Its beautiful as always.. love your take because it is suited for mature faces as well because of subtlety of colors. I had seen Cold Girl Makeup trending on KZbin and Insta but wasnt sure it was something I could adopt, but your thumbnail and video made me open up to this idea of color placement. Oh I and I used to love those looks with exaggerated blush starting right in the undereye area back in the 2000s. Vogue used to be my inspiration for so many things back then

[@lilamond898]

it looks sooo beautiful and the glitter at the end, made everything look kind of magical. so pretty 💮💜

[@TallMChannel]

I remember doing a look like this in the late 90s/2000s but way more simple. I always used this revlon lipstick on my cheeks, lips and nose. It was this berry/wine colour, that had a mix of red/blueisch fuchia and a bit of brown. That was basicly it, some concealer where needed and powder. I did not even bother with eyemakeup back than.

you’re bang on about the trend’s lineage, you can really see the evolution from the e-girl trend and then earlier still from the japanese “tipsy” street style that had a moment in the mid-2010’s. really great catch. it’s fun seeing how these really blush-forward looks have been assimilated from subculture into mainstream culture. i love a bright cheek so i’ll have to give this a spin on NYE! beautiful as always!!

I love the history ! Don’t ever stop! This makeup look is beautiful. It reminds of my grandmother. She use lipstick and “cream rouge” or she use her lipstick.💄💋

[@elisaastorino2881]

My late aunt did that all the time - I don't think she ever actually owned a dedicated cheek product. Those women came of age in a time where there were very few makeup products, especially compared to the overwhelming glut we have now. Besides, lipstick and cream rouge are practically the same mix of ingredients with the exception of some coloring agents that aren't FDA indicated as safe for lip products.

[@Sofoca]

I love every anecdote that you have shared, it is one of the many things that have always made your channel so interesting.

I remember growing up in the late 80s & early 90s, we used to wear this look to school with a berry lip or red lip. Sometimes we would smudge the leftover on the eyelids, or we’d go for the light lid shades. It was a fun time in makeup in that era.

[@romana.in.wonderland]

We did the same in the early 90ties! Owned one lipstick (a colour similar to Velvet Blush) and used it basically on the whole face. This is why I rarely buy blusher, I use my lipsticks. Creature of habit 🙃

@@romana.in.wonderland I prefer some of my liquid lips as a cream blusher over cream blusher. I buy the cream blushers for the heck of it and just to try them. I always go back to lipsticks and liquid lip colors. I used to watch my mom do that when I was young, but because I loooooove makeup and freelance, I’m always willing to try something new.
