It's amazing! I know it's her job, but she makes it look so easy. The before and after still are incredible but still so natural.

Now, how do I go about recreating that but without spending a fortune on all those products?

Or do I have to go back to my early teens and spend my evening practising my make-up

I'd be impressed if she had done it with 5 products that cost less than £7 each. This one, not so much.

I love Lisa, how fab that she has done a video especially for us

Brill as always

I love Lisa too. Fab video. Would love it if she'd do a webchat, too.

She often uses cheaper products. You could probably use Bourjois Healthy Mix instead of the Chanel. The MUA Undressed pallette has a dark grey/black and a gold similar to the one in the vid, and it's only £4. And Revlon do those chunky lip pencil things.

Oh, and Maybelline do a great gel liner, and the No 7 foundation brush is excellent. I do use the Clinique Airbrush and it's fab, but have seen people on here recommend light-reflective pens by Collection 2000 and Aldi.

Ive been looking at a lot of her videos and notice she uses a lot of different products each time. It makes me wonder if she ever uses any standard favourites over again.
I am currently limited to just one of each thing, having left my well paid job to start a freelance career = happy but poor - and would love to see a video on living with the minimum or on the best absolute budget product.

I also love but also at the same time find the long haul video amusing. Having done the long haul many many times myself, I would find the routing difficult with children and with the room you get in cattle class. I would still do it but would be heading for the bathroom.

I had never heard of Lisa, but have now watched that video twice.

I have identical colouring to her; I think of myself as pretty good with make up but it had never occurred to me to use eyeshadow colours like the Dior one she uses.

I am fighting the urge to go and buy all of her make-up and all of her make-up brushes now.

Same here Jude.First time I've heard of her and same colouring, albeit at a guess 10 years older than her. I really like the antiageing vidoe, although I found the tone a little insulting in parts.

Wow in the first photo she looks like a normal person that you could pass on the street or in the supermarket but the after look is stunning!

I think that's the great thing about her videos plaingirly. She starts off looking a bit tired and a bit washed out, but the end of the video she looks amazing. Gives us all hope

She does look amazing!

Will have to practise with eye make and all that blending!

But Ishe does have good bone structure, wide eyes etc i.e. the basics are there. I think I need more than make up these days

So true suebfg. I have really big cheeks and always have. It helps me to look younger but it's a hindrance with makeup. I really loved that season where blush went on the apples of the cheeks instead of as a cheekbone highnlighter.

Can anyone tell me which blusher shade she uses in this vid?
