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 💯🙌

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@shannonhampel6006]

Does anyone know what products she's using for this one?

[@semirecumbentoneYT]

@@shannonhampel6006 They are Cruelty Free Vegan

[@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

[@jeremyroskes5391]

The effortless way that Lisa can completely erase a blemish is nothing short of magical.

[@shawnjaworski1178]

Agreed

[@Novarcharesk]

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

[@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😂

[@bigeyesxx]

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

[@LisaEldridge]

yes!! I remember doing my Japanese trends video around that time and talking about exactly this … xx

[@Donna-cc1kt]

Drunk girl? Never heard that. Awful. I’ll stick to the healthy outdoors look. Hah!

[@TracyD2]

@@Donna-cc1kt lol exactly. People look good drunk when you’re drunk.

[@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.

[@makeupeclectic]

the history is not at all boring, tracing makeup trends is fascinating!

[@kg8487]

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.

[@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 🥰

[@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.❤

[@invisibleninja-gi1di]

Hi Lisa! Please do a tutorial on modern goth makeup! We need it

[@Whippy99]

Yes! That would be great 😊

[@maudline]

would love that as well!

[@lea-anne9133]

That would be great!!

[@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.

[@diffyyninie6286]

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

[@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!

[@Erica-my5qw]

You look like a modern day Belle from Beauty and the Beast in this look!! Bonjour beauty!! 😍😍😍

[@mierkablue]

Theater make up series tend to have white mascara's I used to do that snowy-lashes look in 1995+ as well. :D

[@aniqaejaz6101]

The thing which is most unique in your channel and what catches the attention is your charming voice which already gives reassuring asmr and your utmost perfection makeup skills that just makes it to the BEST makeup channel ever….❤❤❤❤

[@sealswimswim354]

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

[@helenedurly6028]

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

[@mikkoniiranen1865]

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

[@valeriaperez9427]

I would love to see your original version of this makeup, with the veins and the special effects bit!!! 🥰

[@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 😅😅😅🎉🎉

[@mosaicmind88]

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.

[@rhondamullins6192]

I loved watching you do your version of this look! I would love to see your original looks from years ago! Thank you for making another video for us! ❤️ You are loved!!!

[@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

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 💕

[@beautybyfuri5636]

LOVE the history lessons, please never stop! Gorgeous look!

[@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.

[@stayCscizzorhandz]

Always love the history lesson!! Your knowledge and expertise is what makes your videos so special!! 💜💜🥰

[@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.

[@babylayo2413]

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

[@Whenlifegivesyoulemonscrochet]

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!

[@keepfitgirl8191]

Love the snowflakes on the lashes idea. It's a very lovely youthful look. Emma x

[@maudline]

so beautiful and the glitter at the end was just perfect!

[@jspohl]

It was minus 38 here last week and minus 14 (toasty warm) today so very appreciated! Thank you! On those days we sometimes need less blush and really good moisturizer. ☃️❄️✨💖

[@weronikalinda4917]

The glitter at the end is such a fun touch! Like sprinkles on a sugar cookie ❤

[@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

[@yuliabudd4401]

Such a beautiful look Lisa!!! Thank you for this and the lovely history lesson!! ❤

[@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!)

[@kimberlym4289]

Beautiful! I like that Lisa has made this so universally wearable. I will put in an order for that highlighter, it really made the eyes twinkle

I watched the Wednesday series. Her makeup was perfect. How lucky anyone must be to have their makeup done by Lisa!

[@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.
