I adore Lisa Eldridge as a make up artist. I found her you tube channel a few months ago and am totally a hardcore fan now. There is something different in the way she perceives make up. Her approach is simple and classy yet effective! There are a tonne of you tube channels I watch but the skills I learn from Lisa's channel is something I actually follow.
I think she did a similar look a while back and I wore it out the other day and really liked it.
Lisa's all about flawless complexion, without it looking too cakey or over the top. I used my Sheer Cover Mineral Make up foundation and concealer to achieve that. I have no idea why I look dewy in flash as the mineral make up is completely matte! I know I don't look half as good as Lisa but there's no harm in getting inspired is there?
I hardly see Lisa piling on blusher. She likes colour on her cheeks but uses is pretty sparingly just to brighten up the face a little to avoid it looking pale. I choose to wear my Givenchy Prisme Blush in Timid Rose as it gives me that pretty pink flush without the edges.
Eyes are something Lisa has a very different approach to. I don't ever see her using a million colours on the lid and then blending it obsessively. She likes to keep it clean yet effective, mainly using blocks of vivid colours throughout.
I used a pale pastel-y lilac from the Sleek Bohemian palette and a bright matte green from the Sleek Circus palette followed by MAC's Blacktrack Fluidline to liner the upper lash line slightly winging it out.
I either see Lisa pulling a bright lip or mid tone browns and pinks, but I choose a pale lilac with a pink undertone to it as it was in line with the eye shadow I used. I tried a coral lip first but it washed me off so nude was what worked best for lips here.
I am wearing a pale lilac-pink shade from MAC. I recently got a palette of MAC lipsticks from a blog sale but they have no shades on them unfortunately.
Who inspires you on YouTube or as a Make up Artist?

Looks lovely!
I love watching Lisa too and pixiwoo and gossmakeupartist :D they know what they're on about, lol.

I love your overall look, you look very good. I had not heard about Lisa till I read your post, But I will def chk her out tonight, because I liked her philosophy of simple eyeshadows.
I too use similar technique of main blocks and I hate the entire multicolor blending bit - even though it looks amazing on some people. I somehow prefer this simpler method, & I have been following the same since the last 2 years with pretty good results.. I have a feeling I am gonna like Ms. Lisa :)
Ooooo that looks very pretty love the eye colour!! Suits you!

Oh I love Lisa too! I just found her vids a couple of months back n I just adore the way she talks :D
U look stunning as always...the eyeshadow combo is so pretty
♥xx♥
I love this look on you, it's really pretty. The shape of your eyes is really lovely
The make-up looks great on you! Your eye make-up always looks good. By the way, mineral make-up bounces back white in flash photography which is why you noticed you look dewy in the flash photos, despite it looking matte in real life. I had to stop wearing mineral make-up because I kept looking really sweaty in photos!! Big, shiny white patches all over my face! It's the zinc oxide / titanium dioxide in the mineral foundation that bounces light.
The "dewiness" doesn't look bad on you though, just on me I looked terrible!
@Beauty Scribbler - really? that's really helpful info hun, thanks a lot! :)
mm nice! outa go watch her videos! aaa thanx scribbler for that bit of advice on mineral make up. now i know why i look weird and ghostly n photos. erg! ♥ i like the blue and purple mix!

That is a gorgeous look. I love the eyes and the delicate flush to the cheeks is perfect. I love Lisa and her videos are great.
I'm not sure exactly who I am inspired by, there are so many people. I've loved looking at Kenneth Soh's work recently, he's always great to chat to on twitter too! xx
I also really like Lisa and her videos are a must watch for every makeup loving girl!
Your makeup is really fresh and I like the color combo you used for this look xoxo
I'm mildly obsessed with Lisa Eldridge's videos these days, as well as the Pixiwoo girls. I love that they're not about packing on 50 eyeshadows precisely, they do things a bit messily and it totally works :)
