My Watercolour Blush Technique

[@duda845]

What I love about lisa is that she really teaches us something. No trashy product reviews , just techniques! This is great because I feel like I can do these things with my make up at home without a 300 $ brush or a 100$ blush. Also she is so classy and calm and I dont feel yelled at watching her because she doesnt have this "im the best" vibes. Others tend to be very loud and shading others during a tutorial has become a trend which is annoying, I came to improve my skills not to hear the latest gossip

[@rawveganmangolover]

duda Tasic I totally agree. Lisa and Wayne Goss are the two I love to watch-and learn from.

[@infullbloom3246]

See Rae Morris smokey eyes tutorial! I learned so much so fast!

[@zimtkind2255]

This comment cleared my skin. Couldn't agree more.

[@1MegArbo]

Because Lisa is an actual professional make-up artist. She isn't a self-proclaimed "beauty guru" in her mother's house bellowing about free products she is paid to shill. She's the real deal. Magazine covers, film, you name it.

[@fave525]

I mean she already works with biggest stars, so I guess she's confident enough about being really good, that's why professional MUAs on youtube are so different from all the influencers.

I LOOOOOOVEE your use of the word ' rich' to describe darker skins . Thank you Lisa

[@burcuburc13]

same!

[@ouineque]

I'll use that from now on. ❤️

[@JadaSnacks]

Yeah that was part of the reason I subscribed

[@farmvetsph]

"rich" is synonymous to "plentiful/abundant" and in the context of skin. "She has a richly pigmented skin." Abundant in melanin. I guess using the adjective "rich" instead of just plain "dark" gives the thought a more pleasing sound. This reminds me os this video on increasing vocabulary to avoid using the word "very."

[@Tuepfely]

Isn't that the normal way to describe deeper complexions tho? Saw a lot of makeup where I live labeled like that, but I'm not from an Englisch speaking country :)

[@megtcollins]

Call me obsessed, but I'd really love to see you do this on a deeper skin tone too. I know you described how one could make adjustments, but there's nothing like seeing you do it.

[@womanofacertainage5892]

Yes, please!

[@BrendadirkCramplescrunch]

I can imagine deep purples, blue toned pinks and dragon reds will look so gorgeous on dark to deep skin.

[@pnsails]

I am a dark skin black woman, and I do something similar to this all the time. I do a sunset type of thing using a raspberry color, a peachy pink, and a coppery color. It is a fun look.

I've been into this style of makeup recently. Just a bit of concealer, light brows, voluminous lashes, lip gloss and blush. No bronzer or contour and I feel like it's so natural and pretty for the spring/summer! LOVE that you made this video. Always so informative and helpful

Blush is a game changer for the face! 😍

[@Ladynipchick2]

So tell me more. I said, above, that I often leave it out (see post). I would love to know why you find it a game changer!

[@Ebichuchu]

Ladynipchick2 I know I’m not the og commenter, but I agree. If I’m doing my makeup, I need blush. It just looks fresh and youthful to me and completes the face. It gives life to the complexion.

[@pebbleskittycat]

I find it instantly adds 'life' to the face by brightening up the skin and making it look fresher and healthier and therefore more youthful :)

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

Ladynipchick2 a small percentage of people don’t need blush and they look great. But most people look healthier and more alive with the right blush color. It instantly brightens the face. Because as we age we lose the healthy color we had as children. Blush also immediately makes the cheekbones pop and lifts the face (as long as you don’t apply it too low on the cheek). Once again there’s a small percentage of people that have naturally sculpted cheeks, but most could use a little lifting.

[@MeliaMimi]

Ladynipchick2 Blush completely renews your face! It makes you look more alive and youthful I’m not a fan of bronzer or contouring, unless it’s for special occasions, so without those things you definitely need blush to make your face look less one dimensional when you have foundation and concealer on Honestly though, I’ve only been using blush for about a year and a half now and I only started using it when I tried out the Glossier liquid blushes. Before that I didn’t think blush was very ‘me’ but ever since getting the blushes I use them ever single time I put makeup on, without fail!

[@AABTBS]

How very beautiful - what an art.. it gives me high fashion vibes and also japanese and korean use of pinks, red and orange powders around the eye area, and floral Sakura inspiration.. Love from Israel ❤️

[@ogbomoshom]

I would LOVE to see a version of this on a darker skin tone

[@yasmin8609]

Of course had I put orange and pink blusher over my face and eyes, I'd look a fright. But Lisa's there, with her magical suqqu brush and magical fingers creating a beautiful artistic look!

[@ikmss18]

I was scared it would happen to me as I don't wear blush but I tried it and it turned out really nicely! I just lined my waterline, added a wing and a clear gloss and I was good to go!

[@yasmin8609]

[@RubyOpheliaQuinn]

You can always tell the MUA from the KZbin "MUA". This look is absolutely beautiful.

[@fatmaatma5280]

Simple, easy and useful. Nothing gimmicky or cakey and its really workable. Love u so much thankyou for this lisa.

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

Lisa is one of the few MUA on KZbin that always remembers people of deeper skin tone. And of the MUA that bother, it’s obvious most don’t do it because they care. It’s just for appearance. Lisa did it from the beginning and genuinely cares about including everyone. P.S. (sigh) Her rings are so divine. I am so sad I can’t afford them. I usually do not crave expensive jewelry but those rings are something else. They remind me of Lisa. Delicate and elegant, but also fresh, unique, and bold in their color. And that noise they make is music to my ears like her beautiful voice. If I can ever afford them, they will be the first expensive piece of jewelry I buy!

[@LisaEldridge]

Thank you for your lovely comment. I have some new style, smaller rings launching in a couple of months ; ) X

[@pebbleskittycat]

I'm so excited for this Lisa! Blush is one of my most favourite makeup items, I find it's the only thing that instantly brightens up your complexion. And I really appreciate both simple and complex looking makeup tutorials from yourself, they're always inspiring xx

[@anabelad.8083]

This is a very intuitive technique. You never really know how it will end up until you reach that elusive point of "perfect" which you will probably miss and make a mess on your first tries.😅But darn it, who cares bc the result is beautiful!🤩

[@Michimarie16]

My number one face MUA. I love that Ms. ELDRIDGE doesn't spackle on foundation, marker on opaque square brows.... overly warm the face! Essentially.... she does not do the KZbin/Instagram trends. The you tubers all look the same, nothing new. Ms. ELDRIDGE always delivers NEW!

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

Cecile McNulty Me too! Please Lisa! It’s one of the coolest looks I’ve seen, just so expertly done. I’d like to know how you balance the rest of the face when you use such a bold blue on the eyes so it looks cool instead of tacky.

[@johnbondmakeup]

She has the ability to break down a face into so many segments in order to create a look with captivating interest !! I could watch her work all day - everyday!!

[@Anonymously4051]

Lisa, thank you for this video and technique. Your instructions are so valuable, useful and practical. You are the best MUA on KZbin. Thank you for being real and not gimmicky, with misleading titles, melodrama, all the crap the others put out for viewers. Keep being real. You are a classy and beautiful person inside and out.

[@noorazimah9443]

Would you do a similar video of blush, but with different face shapes? I have a round face, should i blush just my apple of cheeks? The colours are gorgeous here. 😍

[@dudehuhu7803]

I'd say apply more on your cheekbones tbh, I have a round face as well, and I find applying blushes either under the eye without crossing the nose line or cheekbones, since applying it like Lisa can make my face look bigger and not in a flattering manner, just my opinion

[@PatienceMarie88]

This type of look is going for a more flushed look. After you get out of a really hot shower, look at those naturally more rosey points. Follow that as a guideline, but refine it with makeup. Not sure if that helps in understanding the best natural flow of your face shape or not, but that's the best way I can explain it through texts instead of in person lol 😂😂.

[@dinahweisberg750]

Wow....the soft washes of blush on your eyes looks so fresh and pretty! I’m going to try that....

[@sophiedelamotte3574]

i love this experimental style of content! its so inspiring to see such a brilliant makeup artist playing around! thank you Lisa you are wonderful. much love

[@Fashioncarnage81]

Yes I definitely need to do this technique because I love blush more than any make up product. Honestly I probably own over 60 blushes and that comes from working in the beauty industry and constantly buying blush because I can’t help myself when a new brand comes out with them💕

[@elementohsix]

Lisa always proves that you don’t need a ton of makeup to look absolutely beautiful.

[@huntsman145]

There are 11 blushes in this look. And a total of 29 products (brushes included) all of them high end. This look easily costs 1200+ $.

You are the absolute queen of make up, will definitely give this a try. Also I wanna say I absolutely love how calm and "fluent" your videos are. You don't cut and edit them a lot, you just keep going and don't have to cut out a ton of random rambling and this is how your audience can truly tell you are an absolute expert with a lot of experience. You don't jump from one scene to another and then boom half your face is finished. Love it

[@kassandar]

I feel like blush is so under rated! It brightens up everyone’s face. So gorgeous. I absolutely love this look! An entire tutorial on blush! I will definitely play and try a version of this look with the blushes I own.

a few years ago, you made me feel better and everytime I have a difficult day you post. I think your my KZbin Angel xo

[@angelalopez2003]

Very pretty! I do something similar because I'm 53 and this is such a youthful look. What I add however, is a bit of blush right along my hair line and under my chin and just a dot on my nose about halfway down. Then, and this is what really makes everything come together, I take a very fluffy/airy eye-shadow brush and lightly swipe highlighter on my eyelids and forehead between my eyebrows.

It's been a while but after studying your watercolor blush technique, I was able to apply it to my friend - I did her wedding makeup. She's 36 and we were able to make her look 28/29. She wanted to look younger anyway. We heard many compliments about her makeup and literally no negative (unless if they keep to themselves). My friend kept her makeup until before sleep as she liked it so much. Thank you for sharing many secrets and techniques for so many years. We learn a lot.

Omg I was expecting a Daniel sandler water colour blush technique, which I love those blushes. I totally wasn’t expecting a completely fresh and unique take on how to make use of the tonnes of powder products, I already own. The look you’ve achieved is so pretty, and I’m blown away by the fact your one of the worlds best makeup artists and are still so humble and convey your vulnerability by saying “ I applied some mascara as I wanted to look nice” .. Bless you Lisa , I’m saving this to my favourites list to keep revisiting for inspiration 😊x

[@keziahmajor4759]

Lisa could you do a blush/bronze tutorial on someone with acne? I find I can make my skin look really nice with foundation and concealer. Set it - but then blush/contour etc make my acne really prominent again or damage my foundation! Any technique help? X

[@alessachoop8883]

maybe try stippling motions instead of buffing and duo fiber brushes they are more soft and less dense

[@keely_cn8924]

You probably need softer brushes that won't move your foundation/concealer around and to maybe pat on the product instead of swirling or heavy sweeping. She did a full face on someone with pretty heavy acne not too long ago. Maybe last year or the year before. There might be some good tips in there.

[@itsleighnola]

Matte products will help. You do not want a blush or bronzer with any shimmer at all as even the slightest bit will highlight any uneven texture. Matte cream products would probably be best, then can be set with a tiny bit of powder and setting spray. Less likely to highlight the unevenness in texture. Use highlighter very sparingly, use shimmer to draw attention to high points if the skin there is clear and it will take the focus off the parts that aren’t as smooth. A strong eye or a strong lip always distract as well 🤷🏼‍♀️

This was great. As always your lighting is spectacular for showing color. It seems the real trick to making this work is having and using the right brushes. Brushes that don’t pick up and/or deposit too much product at once so you can build softly and gradually. With the right tools and products I believe this look would look well on skin of any age too.

P.s: I mimicked Lisa's light handed, downward brush stroke and avoided going overboard. Strongly reccommend ♥️

[@ToxicNeon]

This is definitely the look I’ve been going for - i just love that super blown out blushy look. And I like bringing the blush close to the nose, a bit under the eye socket - I wear glasses and the blush looks nice that way, while wearing glasses.
