Lisa in Makeup: A Glamorous History
Now, Lisa is presenting the BBC Two documentary series Makeup: A Glamorous History, which will examine the beauty looks of three different eras in British history, to see what the ideals and fashions of the day say about the times.
It starts on BBC Two on Tuesday (April 20), with the first episode looking into the Georgian period.
Think of Marie Antoinette and the huge, enormous wigs and the makeup they used.
During the first episode, Lisa heads to Chatsworth House, Derbyshire, and explores Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, who was one of the top beauty icons of the day.
It will also see her recreate a Georgian look on a model in the 21st-century.
Discussing it on her YouTube channel, Lisa said: “Episode one is really only based on one decade, the 1780s. It’s the real High Georgian… if you think of Marie Antoinette and the huge, enormous wigs and the makeup they used.”
Lisa Eldridge’s lipstick
Lisa has her own range of lipstick. A description on her website reads: “Paint your lips as an artist would with these highly pigmented True Velvet Lipsticks. Described as ‘A phenomenon… a work of art’.
“Each bullet has the appearance of beautifully plush velvet fabric, a ‘trompe l’oeil’ that has to be seen to be believed. This is matte lipstick revolutionised with a saturated technicolour formulation and a creamy texture with a slight sheen that’s 3D and luscious, not a flat matte.

“So intensely pigmented, it’s easy to create either a one-swipe graphic lip statement or pat gently for the ultimate subtle lip stain.”
