I put on makeup every single day because * * * * I * * * * love it. Drinking my coffee very early in the morning--while the house is quiet and everything is moving slowly--and picking my outfit and makeup for the day is my favorite part of the day. BUT if I didn't wear makeup (or high heels) and someone told me I HAD to in order to "look professional", I would simple reply that I'd consider doing it when all the men had started doing it themselves, and after the expectations and policies had been formally added to our employment contracts, along with a stipend to cover the additional cost one would incur in. I bet no one would insist after that.
i did a six month unpaid intership last year and an older female coworker wanted me out, so she was awful to me. so every morning i got up extra early to do my hair and makeup and picked a nice outfit cause i loved her face of pure disgust and envy when i was there, earlier than her and getting compliments on how good i was looking. so even if she made the day a living hell, i would start with that fuel of _you cant beat my outfit nor my lashes_ .
I got told one time while working as a trauma X Ray tech for the ER 'IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT' that I should wear makeup and "try to make myself more presentable"!! I said Hmmm I didn't think I was here for a beauty contest! and then added if they'd like to make it a Human Resource issue I'd be ready LOL Makeup is something I LOVE but when and where I want and nobody else gets to dictate that ;) Ted! ROFL You are one of a few makeup artists I just love, respect, admire and wish I could meet and I love how down to earth you always are! Thanks for this...you look so fresh and "everyday". Have fun in your Zoom Call xoxo Mary

I truly love makeup and have been part of the industry since 1982. That said; it really pisses me off that no one would comment on a man's apperance, yet women are told to fancy up a bit. What a bs double standard.
@@marierobinson6067 It was only a year ago when I was told by an older male co-worker at the office to 'smile'. To his confusion, that did not make me.. smile.
Agree with the double standard being BS! I made a decision to stop apologizing for my appearance when I’m not “camera-ready”, because I noticed it’s only something I hear from my female colleagues. I do appreciate that applying makeup to freshen my appearance does matter when I’m running a meeting, at least mentally, and I love the natural makeup looks you demonstrate!
@@EmilyS1898 I didn't noticed anything strange in the light, but just have a look at that sweet fluffy cat in the armchair behind her. It changes it's position through the video.
Have been working from home since March but never heard of cases where they ask women to wear makeup, how crazy is that 😟 I always put makeup before going to work and I still do now but because I like the me time and the creativity of it. Some days it is a no makeup look and some other days it is a smoky eye at 9am, but my choice and my choice only. Lovely video Lisa, thanks for the lighting tips!
I'm an attorney and have been working from home almost entirely since March (except for work travel or depositions, which I do 3-4 times a month) and I wear more makeup now more consistently than I ever did when I was going into the office. Because it prepares me mentally for the day and the tasks and because I have the ability to take whatever time I want. I'm also quite privileged as a corporate defense lawyer to be able to wear whatever I want. So if its a very dramatic bright eye look or a bold lip or a lovely east asian inspired cheek, I can do it. I just have to watch the bronzer/contour/highlight, because the lighting in my office makes the shadows more pronounced (which is an interesting way to reevaluate and imagine light and shadow). So I rather enjoy this part of lockdown and the creative freedom I have to define my looks. I love a sort of light complexion, simple eye, lots of mascara and velvet ribbon for zoom court, because that's often what I wear with a black suit to court. So wearing the same makeup gives me that confidence, even if I'm really wearing leggings and a cardigan.
I hated law and quit to become a writer, so over the past decade I've had to work from home as a freelancer when I can get paid work, and regardless of any meetings with clients, I like getting up & making my bed, having a coffee & healthy breakfast, getting dressed & putting on makeup every morning so I feel professional and productive. Otherwise I just feel gross and if I do have a last minute meeting come up, I'm ready.
Men: “You shouldn’t wear that much makeup, natural is always better and this is a professional environment” Also men: “You need to make an effort to appear professional and apply more makeup” 🤨
:) True, Eduardo. Also, men (a woman wearing just bright lipstick): Too much make up! Same men (a woman wearing 20 products on her face, including fake lashes, but in nude shades): Wow, such natural beauty!
blueice it’s funny, isn’t it, how many people don’t realize how much makeup goes into “looking natural.” Apparently Kim K is held up as a standard of natural, minimal makeup beauty for a lot of folks? I split a side laughing so hard when I realized that folks were conflating bright with “a lot” and nudes with “natural, minimal makeup.”
I cannot help but imagine an overweight, middle-aged, divorced, sweaty, baldy guy, with a cheap suit, walked off shoes and a very red head suggesting to a woman to make more of an effort. 🤷♀️
Depends on the job. If it's a customer-interaction situation (e.g. receptionist, air stewardess, etc.) or one where you are filmed (e.g. actress, model, etc.) then your appearance would be extremely important. For jobs involving cleanliness (chef, surgeon, etc.), makeup would be inappropriate.
When was the last time a man was told he needs to do something to look better on Zoom??? Aggravating. But I did see this trend becoming necessary for women, so I started teaching these makeup lessons and they are great fun.
Lisa, I am a medical doctor. A very frumpy looking one up until a year ago. I work at an outpatient clinic. One day my medical supervisor asked me to come to his office and told me he expected me to wear dresses to work and to try and look "a little better". I guess being nice, listening to patients, trying to take care of my patients the best way possible and brightening up the place with a smile and kind words for everyone (though wearing pants and flat shoes and comfortable shirts) wasn't enough. Here I am, one year later, still loving my job, still being the best medic I can, while in high heels and flattering dresses (hidden by a lab coat). Why should the dresses be important, especially when I have lives and health issues under my care?
Tatiana Quintero The dresses aren’t important. What’s important is why you felt you had to change what you were wearing to keep your sexist pig of a supervisor happy.
Hi, I'm also a medical doctor, a GP, but in Sweden we have to wear scrubs, from a hygenic point of view. I like that. What if you wanted to wear a suit, would your boss aprove?
@@karin7442-i5v thank you, Karin. I'm a GP too. I will look into the scrubs or suit idea. Thank you. I'm not uncomfortable wearing dresses. Not at all. It was the "look a little better" issue what bothered me. It shouldn't be brought up at all
@@TatianaQuinteroA hi, lovely to meet a collegue! I fully understand. I too like to look nice, but not to be told by my boss that I needed to work in heals if I preferred not to.
I have been working from home for over 6 months now and went through proper make up and dressing up through comfy gear and now I am back to make up and shirts .. and I feel better, I like to play with casual make up, take that as a treat not a chore and makes next 3-6 months more manageable: feeling of professional appearance helps!! On the 6am just out from bed meeting with Australia I felt horrible....my 8am meetings with UK with hair washed and make up on feels awesome!
Great video Lisa! My manager stopped me in the middle of a zoom meeting last week, with another colleague, to say ‘I hope you don’t mind me saying but your hair has gotten very long’ - earlier in the week he had been complaining that long hair looks immature on anyone but a teenager. I thought it was a sneaky way of telling me to get my hair cut. Definitely not cutting it now😂 was pretty annoying comment tbh! Can you imagine telling a colleague to wear more makeup. It’s pretty sexist.
Julie Kerr ha ha I’d love to, he’d get the shock of his life if I did! Definitely telling him to jog on if he says anything again! 😂he’s pretty light on top himself....so maybe it’s a touch of the green eyed monster!!
Hmm some men do wear make up in Japan and Korea actually. Especially in some industries in service. Not sure if that kind of pressure is good for anyone.
I was once told in a performance review that "my smile is contagious in meetings, but I shouldn't laugh." That was my feedback as a corporate level manager for a global retailer (WBA)? I was in shock because this was actually written down in the notes... nothing about how I worked to develop my direct reports or managed three beauty categories with new brand launches and store concepts... for four months including two offshore projects, one in India and the other the UK. My smile is good... and my laugh is bad. 🤔 Got it.
Yesss please!!! I remember Lisa said the pieces had to be sent back to a vault but plleeeeaaase! I love these vintage makeup videos so much that I am seriously considering to start my own collection, or try to at least 😂
Happy October. Today I went to my office and I opened my emails. I got so excited when I read your newsletter about the restocking and the new shades. It was the best way to start the month ❤️
Since this pandemic started, I have been sitting down at my vanity every day and playing your videos while I try to recreate your looks. You give such amazing advice. I feel like I’m getting better every day. Thank you. ❤️
Lisa, I would love if you could give advice or tutorial on makeup in very harsh lighting, like fluorescent or LED lights! I am a flight attendant, and wearing makeup every day in a very dry environment and harsh lighting setting has definitely taken a toll on how I usually do my makeup. Work makeup has taken the enjoyment out of the creative process for me, and I dearly miss it. Any tips on sprucing up work friendly looks would be greatly appreciated!
one lil tip from a non-pro that I love and you might already do but I love spritzing Rose Water to keep moisture on the face when traveling (or anytime). Thank you ... love our flight attendants X 100!
I want to add: regardless of the profession, telling a woman she needs to put the effort simply has a sexist paradigm. To all the bosses out there, reflect on why you think this way.
I'm just going to guess here, but I think a lot of the people being told to put in more of an effort are the folks who appear in their "PJs with mad hair" who look like they might still be in bed. I'm not exaggerating -- both my sister and my girlfriends have all told me this is how they spend their entire days "working from home" and how they appear in Zoom calls, lol.
In March when I started working from home I enjoyed having extra morning time to do skincare and makeup (even if I didn't have meetings) and now after 7 months of it I'm lazy again and scrambling to throw on a shirt before Zoom meetings with no makeup haha. Your nail color is *chef's kiss* in this video, btw.
Yes I did get a rude comment from a woman no less shocked 😳 I did not have makeup on for a video. My point was to show we are all beautiful even without it and actually the men saw her comment and called to say how rude of her. I didn’t expect that one ☺️ Thank you for the tips - and I love the cats sounds 🐈 playing in the background.
Hi Lisa- I'm also a girl that does her makeup everyday. And if you sit down long enough I'll do yours- I have the music on and its def the time I use to think about my flow of the day as well. Depending on what look and colors I choose, that's how I pick what Im going to wear. When in doubt, I wear black and white and a bright lip. All Summer Ive been doing the 5 minute make up look w/ no liner either a pale pink or a coral lip. Now that Fall is on our doorstep I've been adding liner and a brighter coral or red lip for fun. I've been helping one of my dear friends find the 'perfect red' for her. Two of my neighbors asked me to color their hair and do their make up for Zoom meetings they were having, in a panic. I'm lucky as an elementary school teacher my principal hasn't used Zoom yet. Thank goodness!
I’ve had the opposite experience. I’m one of the only professionals who DOES wear basic makeup on Zoom, as I would in person, and people are always commenting to ME that I “still have to have my lipstick on” 😕
I wonder if that could be reported as some sort of discrimination based on gender. That’s unacceptable and a man would never be told something like that.
Lauren Amrine I find it’s mostly women who comment. Women are still (generally) the most judgemental of each other (and of ourselves). I wear makeup every day, whether I’m in the office (I am in an industry that returned to work in phase 1, but we still work, when possible, from home) or not. And I get off hand comments sometimes about wearing makeup - always from women. But I enjoy it. It makes me feel put together and, as Lisa mentioned, it’s a form of prep before the day. I don’t judge anyone for not wearing it, so please stop judging me for wearing it. (Tinted moisturizer, mascara, blush and lipstick or gloss is all I wear - I’m not caking layers on! But even if I did, shouldn’t it be my choice?). That’s what I’d like to say to those commenters 😊😉❤️
My friend's team got told they need to make more of an effort: make-up, hair, outfits. I think it's appalling, so insensitive to the current struggles most workers are facing.
Love this video. I was so excited when I saw on Instagram that you had uploaded. I love this makeup look, its so fresh and elegant. Great tips regarding lighting, something I never thought about. Right enough, Im now retired but I do like to look my best when I zoom the kids or grandkids. Thank you Lisa, stay safe and well x
For real. My immediate response was “are men going to make more of an effort, too and start wearing make up?” Not pleased with it, but grateful for more awareness in how and where to dismantle sexism. I also consider this a class issue, too. Wtaf
I used to wear make up all the time when I was working full time. Now that I have retired I do not always wear makeup. I have spent time watching your videos. I have used many of your products as well as the ones you recommend. I appreciate your down to earth presentations as well as the variety of products used.
I was having the problems Lisa described in the video with my soap brow product. Sometimes my brows had little flakes of white and felt a bit crunchy. I used Lisa’s tip of spraying the product lightly with water this morning and it has worked a treat! I will be doing this from now on. So simple, but I would never have thought of it. Also laughing at the cats giving off in the background. I have 4 cats and automatically took one of my earbuds out for a split second to see who was fighting before I caught myself on. Never a dull moment in multi-cat households. Hoping for another Ted Talk soon :)
I love wearing makeup, and your video tutorials Lisa, have been a God's sent!! As a journalist/ media analyst, ive been doing most of my work via zoom/ Skype etc . The pressure to look even better is enormous . I haven't been asked, to alter my makeup regime , but it's a given. Makeup,/hair, - and overal image is so important. Sometimes I need to interview/ , or make commentaries at short, notice . But given, that I have never missed any of your excellent tutorials, I have learnt soooo much.!!! 💕 I somehow manage to apply my make up, do my hair, quickly and efficiently (I hope) The fact that you care, - ask questions, on how we cope in different circumstances/, situations, makes you, an even more, special and a well loved individual. I believe many would agree with me. Ps I love your home decor. It's beautiful. Keep safe Lisa .💖
i asked my college students about their feelings towards teaching digitally and surprisingly a huge discussion about make up broke loose, some really enjoy not having to wear any, some do it like you said as a ritual to feel good and ready, some feel the need to wear more because they feel more vulnarable at home (or maybe because their lighting is just bad...) I think this is a really usefull discussion, maybe this new situation raises again new possibilities to learn about self love and taking conscious decisions about your body, I love that you bring it up!
Love this! Natural good lighting is the best. I just started teaching a SUNRISE exercise Zoom session with my family & dear friends so I can’t rely on the lighting as it changes every minute! At least it’s people I love and not a professional meeting.
Since I’ve been working from home I’ve been enjoying a pretty minimal getting ready routine. My girlfriend and I were talking about this must be what men feel like all the time 😂
Lisa, you trully are one of a kind. Making this video to help out women struggling with patriarchy at the work place is so amazing. And you did It in such a gracious way. Besides the makeup is always flawless. Love it
You MUST reintroduce your sweet (or not so sweet) cats one day 😂 Their fighting was blasting in my earbuds, and I couldn’t stop giggling at work. This made my day! I love these home videos! So intimate and authentic. Much love from Texas 💛
Lisa, you are the most positive, calming presence as always! ( I met you at a meet & greet, and you were just as welcoming.) As far as makeup goes, I work in fashion and for my team, makeup is non existent. Top priority in terms of visuals are 1. background 2. hair. None of us really wear makeup anymore, and we only dress up our top half for important meetings with execs.
Lisa, you are a breath of fresh air in this crazy world! I've been fortunate to be able to work from home since 2012, so this is really no different for me. I'm not required to have my camera on for meetings, so I don't. I can't remember the last time I put makeup on or did anything with my hair other than putting it up in a bun to keep it off my neck and out of my face.
This was very helpful! Thank you. I was a little bit worried about the cats fighting but seeing the one happily ensconced in that comfy chair eased my concerns. Also, electric guitars! Neat! I’m a musician in a duet with my husband and, after thirty years of happy touring, we have moved all our performances online. I am NOT a fan of being photographed or filmed but it's our business so I'm adjusting. I had been wearing makeup for gigs prior to this, but nothing very major- some shadow, mascara, colored lip gloss and that’s about it. But video… well, I saw the first takes and thought, that will never do! So I’ve been devouring TH-cam tutorials and learning all sorts of new skills. What a learning curve! :D I kind of wish I'd worked on this when I was a kid like most of my female friends but it was just never even in my thoughts. Anyway, I've been really enjoying the process of learning, and videos like yours have helped me tremendously. I just watched your "happy lips" demo and I'm going to be implementing your suggestions tomorrow for sure. :)
PS My husband no matter what I'm wearing or look like: You're so beautiful! (Yes, he's the best!) Me: puts on makeup. Husband: You're so beautiful! That looks like fun! Can I have some, too? Me: Of course! *applies a little eyeliner, mascara, primer and a dusting of powder.* Husband: How do I look? Me: You look beautiful! Husband: It IS fun! Husband several days later after playing with makeup: Makeup is HAAAAAAAAAARD!
I had to find a new job during quarantine. Opening cameras weren't required, but I missed the daily routine of doing my makeup and settling myself. So for the past interviews, I did my makeup and tried experimenting with bolder colors, even for my eyes, which I normally don't do. I think I did a fuchsia and green one at the last interview, and it was awesome. It was such an empowering thing to do, and it felt like I was getting back creativity in my daily life. As always, I wore my Lisa lipsticks
Could I love you any more!!!! I fortunately have never been pressured to wear (or not to wear) makeup. I think your message is perfect. I wear makeup even on days I am not in the office or don’t have any meetings because that is how I like to get my day started. A little.bit of self care, and I just use that time to get myself into the right frame of mind for the day.
Love the look 💖💖💖. I agree with you that we have the choice to use makeup as a tool, and to be careful as it can become a crutch. Use makeup to enhance the beauty that you already own, like your smile or your eyes or don't wear any at all. It's a choice to wear makeup, don't allow anyone to pressure you... I enjoy these quick, easy looks. Thank you for creating and sharing this content 😘.
Thank you so much for this video!!!! I had several meetings ahead and I don't want to be ask (again) if I´m tired or not well rested. I never noticed the lighs in the room made me look that bad. Thank you again Lisa
I’ve been asked to do something with my hair. My hair is coarse and curly and thick and seriously unruly. For my job, it was best just either do some sort of messy bun or a gel stiff French braid. The first words out of my mouth were “do you think I WANT my hair to look like this?” I’ve gone through all the trends, colors, perms, straightening, short, long. My best options were what I was doing. Or shaved. And I wasn’t shaving. Anytime I’ve had any style comments made, either upscaling the clothing or a verbal makeup dig made by anyone in a professional sense, I always say, when it’s provided as part of my paycheck, I will. Otherwise, my kids get groceries before I get mascara.
Makeup (particularly red lipstick) has always felt like my armour. It feels like it connects me to the generations of women before me and the expression of my femininity in such a way is personally empowering. PS I love the British Short Hairs 🤍 Such precious felines!
Love this :) thanks for inviting us into your home! The cats tho 😂 I haven’t been told I need to wear makeup on our zooms, but I definitely feel the pressure to. The women in my company all hate zooms for that reason-the same standard and time effort to get ready just isn’t there for men.
i work with coaching and matchmaking clients via Zoom most days and I would recommend using your video camera on your device (phone?) instead or the actual Zoom platform. That way no one can also sign in early and catch you primping! ;)
I’d never go to work or attend a Zoom without makeup. I don’t feel confident for work without it. For me. I found exactly what you said the natural light on my left from window made me look worse.. Got a ring light with different lighting and as you say the make up and lighting help enhance so I don’t look ghastly. Thanks for this video. I’ve had to experiment, not all make up looks great and professional on camera. A light-ish touch is best. I LOVE make up, love getting ready at home.
I just love seeing the Swedish pride of Liljevalchs sofa with Frank fabric in the background. Frank designed this sofa for the Liljevalch spring exhibition 1934, hence the name of the sofa. Liljevalchs is an art exhibition center in Stockholm who have their ”vårsalong” (meaning spring exhibition) every spring. This sofa is my dream sofa, and the fabrics are divine. 💕
At the time I am not working but when I did, I was told to wear “face makeup” since I would wear mascara and sometimes a thin eyeliner. I have very sensitive skin, prone to break outs, and if I wear foundation - even a light layer - for 3 straight days, my skin gets upset and sure reflects it. Keep in mind, I have always taken care of my skin for that same reason and tried new products that have and not worked. Right now the weather is starting to change and we have crazy wind with dust and my allergies are crazy (even while wearing a mask and avoiding going outside) to where I cannot even wear eye makeup since they get watery and itchy. But all the power to the women who do or do not wear makeup! 💪 It’s our choice to do what makes us feel beautiful, let’s empower one another! ❤️
This was fun. I was wearing a really good pair of headphones and seriously thought my geriatric cat must have gotten into something major. It was just Betty. I love how mellow you are with all the cat drama going on around you plus the cat lounging in the cool chair behind you. That Tom Ford compact is so beautiful and looks amazing on you.
Hi Lisa, love your videos! I was wondering if you could do a Maria Callas inspired makeup look (or something dramatic yet elegant) because I would love to learn to do that kind of a more difficult look for fun whilst staying home so I can use it when I do eventually go out.
I hope you get to read this! Thank you so much for this!! I really needed it!! I’m a teacher and in my country, schools will not reopen until January, so it’s really nice to see a tutorial like this. In my line of work, our superiors did kind of tell us to look more professional than usual!
I love your background. But agree that lighting is key. If I cannot be near natural light, I have attached my phone to the Riki mirror and use the light to ensure I don’t look tired / shattered.
Lisa!!! I've been hanging around the website waiting for the new lipsticks to launch and I'm so excited!! Can't wait for the video of them to come out!
I have started wearing some make up in video calls for work because it has made me feel a lot better as I have just gotten weary of working from home and wearing some make up has just changed things up for me. I also really enjoy playing with my eyeshadow these days too.
Our lessons happened to be online the last year and one of our female teacher was wearing make up, and I’ve never seen her wearing make up when we are in classes face to face. That’s making sense. There was a pressure even on academics
No pressure but it could be the line of work I'm in, too, so it sucks to hear that there's an expectation like that in other professions. I received the update re: your new make-up coming out and I'm excited for it! I've bought several of your lipsticks now and I can honestly say that wearing them feels wonderful on my lips and the colors are truly beautiful.
I put makeup on before early morning calls to help feel and look more awake (most of my colleagues are in the UK so it's mid afternoon for them) and the go-to is always blush and mascara, and a touch of shading on the eyelids/sockets. A quick brush of color gel in the brows too to frame the face! It takes 5 mins and I feel ready for the day. A nice pair of earrings also goes a long way to make me feel put together on work calls, and they can be a way to have fun and express a mood too. :-) Haven't felt bothered to do hair though lol so it goes in a ponytail if it's particularly unruly!
I put on makeup every single day because * * * * I * * * * love it. Drinking my coffee very early in the morning--while the house is quiet and everything is moving slowly--and picking my outfit and makeup for the day is my favorite part of the day. BUT if I didn't wear makeup (or high heels) and someone told me I HAD to in order to "look professional", I would simple reply that I'd consider doing it when all the men had started doing it themselves, and after the expectations and policies had been formally added to our employment contracts, along with a stipend to cover the additional cost one would incur in. I bet no one would insist after that.
Exactly. If men can look professional without makeup, so can women. End of story.
I'd also want to get paid for the time spent on it. I think that'd make the requirement go away in many situations.
Absolute brilliant reply 👏!
You win the internet today! Love it!💘
i did a six month unpaid intership last year and an older female coworker wanted me out, so she was awful to me. so every morning i got up extra early to do my hair and makeup and picked a nice outfit cause i loved her face of pure disgust and envy when i was there, earlier than her and getting compliments on how good i was looking. so even if she made the day a living hell, i would start with that fuel of _you cant beat my outfit nor my lashes_ .

Also, men (a woman wearing just bright lipstick): Too much make up!
Same men (a woman wearing 20 products on her face, including fake lashes, but in nude shades): Wow, such natural beauty!
blueice it’s funny, isn’t it, how many people don’t realize how much makeup goes into “looking natural.” Apparently Kim K is held up as a standard of natural, minimal makeup beauty for a lot of folks? I split a side laughing so hard when I realized that folks were conflating bright with “a lot” and nudes with “natural, minimal makeup.”
@@blueice011 lmaoooo exactly, by "natural" they just mean "natural but better"
I cannot help but imagine an overweight, middle-aged, divorced, sweaty, baldy guy, with a cheap suit, walked off shoes and a very red head suggesting to a woman to make more of an effort. 🤷♀️
Depends on the job. If it's a customer-interaction situation (e.g. receptionist, air stewardess, etc.) or one where you are filmed (e.g. actress, model, etc.) then your appearance would be extremely important. For jobs involving cleanliness (chef, surgeon, etc.), makeup would be inappropriate.
My ideal chill morning: a sleepy rainy day, make a latte, put on a beauty face mask and watch a Lisa tutorial. :-)
oh I love this 😍
When was the last time a man was told he needs to do something to look better on Zoom??? Aggravating. But I did see this trend becoming necessary for women, so I started teaching these makeup lessons and they are great fun.
I was thinking the same thing!
But you're assuming the boss is a man! Might not be the case!
Lisa fighting for her clients to get good lighting and make them look good is......
An angel!! ❤️❤️❤️
Lisa, I am a medical doctor. A very frumpy looking one up until a year ago. I work at an outpatient clinic. One day my medical supervisor asked me to come to his office and told me he expected me to wear dresses to work and to try and look "a little better". I guess being nice, listening to patients, trying to take care of my patients the best way possible and brightening up the place with a smile and kind words for everyone (though wearing pants and flat shoes and comfortable shirts) wasn't enough. Here I am, one year later, still loving my job, still being the best medic I can, while in high heels and flattering dresses (hidden by a lab coat). Why should the dresses be important, especially when I have lives and health issues under my care?
Tatiana Quintero The dresses aren’t important. What’s important is why you felt you had to change what you were wearing to keep your sexist pig of a supervisor happy.
Girl report his sorry ass
Hi, I'm also a medical doctor, a GP, but in Sweden we have to wear scrubs, from a hygenic point of view. I like that. What if you wanted to wear a suit, would your boss aprove?
@@karin7442-i5v thank you, Karin. I'm a GP too. I will look into the scrubs or suit idea. Thank you. I'm not uncomfortable wearing dresses. Not at all. It was the "look a little better" issue what bothered me. It shouldn't be brought up at all
@@TatianaQuinteroA hi, lovely to meet a collegue! I fully understand. I too like to look nice, but not to be told by my boss that I needed to work in heals if I preferred not to.
I have been working from home for over 6 months now and went through proper make up and dressing up through comfy gear and now I am back to make up and shirts
.. and I feel better, I like to play with casual make up, take that as a treat not a chore and makes next 3-6 months more manageable: feeling of professional appearance helps!! On the 6am just out from bed meeting with Australia I felt horrible....my 8am meetings with UK with hair washed and make up on feels awesome!
Yes but surely you have been feeling terrible on 6am to Australian zooms forever, or did you get up earlier?
@@dianeshelton9592 I dare anyone who looks good on 6am meetings :)
Anna A so it’s irrelevant that you have washed your hair or put your make up on.
It’s seems as though you are saying I feel better for make up
Great video Lisa! My manager stopped me in the middle of a zoom meeting last week, with another colleague, to say ‘I hope you don’t mind me saying but your hair has gotten very long’ - earlier in the week he had been complaining that long hair looks immature on anyone but a teenager. I thought it was a sneaky way of telling me to get my hair cut.
Definitely not cutting it now😂 was pretty annoying comment tbh!
Can you imagine telling a colleague to wear more makeup. It’s pretty sexist.
What a bizarre comment!!!
Definitely keep the long locks!
Jasmine
thanks Jasmine, yeah I’m 100% keeping them!!
Julie Kerr ha ha I’d love to, he’d get the shock of his life if I did! Definitely telling him to jog on if he says anything again!
😂he’s pretty light on top himself....so maybe it’s a touch of the green eyed monster!!
I'd strive to look like Rapunzel, who the f does he think he is?
I’ll start wearing makeup on Zoom calls to please my employer when they make the men do it, too. Until then, it’s up to me and what I feel like.
Yes to that!
Hmm some men do wear make up in Japan and Korea actually. Especially in some industries in service. Not sure if that kind of pressure is good for anyone.
Make them look good ffs!
Agreed. Or if they plan to pay me extra to buy it. Makeup is expensive! Lol.
🤣😂🤣
I was once told in a performance review that "my smile is contagious in meetings, but I shouldn't laugh."
That was my feedback as a corporate level manager for a global retailer (WBA)? I was in shock because this was actually written down in the notes... nothing about how I worked to develop my direct reports or managed three beauty categories with new brand launches and store concepts... for four months including two offshore projects, one in India and the other the UK.
My smile is good... and my laugh is bad. 🤔 Got it.
Jeeez. Can you get a copy of it and post it to reddit?
@@violetviolet888 I don't think I kept it when I left in 2017.
My cat just heard the background scrap and instantly sat up with her ears pricked! She must know what they're saying 😂😂🤩
More of these in natural light rather than your studio vids❤. You’re such doll xo
This was so fun !!! You are always the best !!!! But please do more of your VINTAGE COLLECTION !!!
Yesss please!!! I remember Lisa said the pieces had to be sent back to a vault but plleeeeaaase! I love these vintage makeup videos so much that I am seriously considering to start my own collection, or try to at least 😂
Thanks for being a calm and peaceful person to watch. I feel relaxed every time I watch your videos.
Happy October. Today I went to my office and I opened my emails. I got so excited when I read your newsletter about the restocking and the new shades. It was the best way to start the month ❤️
Since this pandemic started, I have been sitting down at my vanity every day and playing your videos while I try to recreate your looks. You give such amazing advice. I feel like I’m getting better every day. Thank you. ❤️
Lisa, I would love if you could give advice or tutorial on makeup in very harsh lighting, like fluorescent or LED lights! I am a flight attendant, and wearing makeup every day in a very dry environment and harsh lighting setting has definitely taken a toll on how I usually do my makeup. Work makeup has taken the enjoyment out of the creative process for me, and I dearly miss it. Any tips on sprucing up work friendly looks would be greatly appreciated!
one lil tip from a non-pro that I love and you might already do but I love spritzing Rose Water to keep moisture on the face when traveling (or anytime). Thank you ... love our flight attendants X 100!
Travel Club with Nicole & Kelly I don’t actually, but thank you!! I will definitely have to give that a go xx
I used to be a flight attendant, and I always carried a spritzer for my face.
You could try a moisturising bb cream then spot conceal ? Xx also try cream bronzers and blushes
Art, plants, guitars, makeup and cats; you can invite me to your home whenever you want ;)
All my favorite things!!!!
Such a pretty setup, right?
IKR?! Let's talk about those guitars!
Same!!! Please invite me too, I’ll baby sit the kitties for free!
Gorgeous home!
I want to add: regardless of the profession, telling a woman she needs to put the effort simply has a sexist paradigm. To all the bosses out there, reflect on why you think this way.
Everyone, regardless of gender, should be told to present themselves in a professional way. Hopefully it's not just women being told this.
@@humanormachine2936 asking to put more make-up is rather odd however I agree with you- everyone should present themselves in a professional way.
I'm just going to guess here, but I think a lot of the people being told to put in more of an effort are the folks who appear in their "PJs with mad hair" who look like they might still be in bed. I'm not exaggerating -- both my sister and my girlfriends have all told me this is how they spend their entire days "working from home" and how they appear in Zoom calls, lol.
I was considering getting a halo light when I realised if I turn up the brightness of my laptop, my face gets pretty well lit. :D
In March when I started working from home I enjoyed having extra morning time to do skincare and makeup (even if I didn't have meetings) and now after 7 months of it I'm lazy again and scrambling to throw on a shirt before Zoom meetings with no makeup haha. Your nail color is *chef's kiss* in this video, btw.
Thank you Lisa. My favorite moments!!
1:40 excellent discussion (I haven’t been told, but I feel better when I “do up” a little)
2:30 lighting tips
Yes I did get a rude comment from a woman no less shocked 😳 I did not have makeup on for a video. My point was to show we are all beautiful even without it and actually the men saw her comment and called to say how rude of her. I didn’t expect that one ☺️ Thank you for the tips - and I love the cats sounds 🐈 playing in the background.
I'm only a few minutes into the video, but man, that nail polish is popping! Such a wonderful shade!
I always love how calm and gentle you are to your skin when applying products :)
Hi Lisa- I'm also a girl that does her makeup everyday. And if you sit down long enough I'll do yours- I have the music on and its def the time I use to think about my flow of the day as well. Depending on what look and colors I choose, that's how I pick what Im going to wear. When in doubt, I wear black and white and a bright lip. All Summer Ive been doing the 5 minute make up look w/ no liner either a pale pink or a coral lip. Now that Fall is on our doorstep I've been adding liner and a brighter coral or red lip for fun. I've been helping one of my dear friends find the 'perfect red' for her. Two of my neighbors asked me to color their hair and do their make up for Zoom meetings they were having, in a panic. I'm lucky as an elementary school teacher my principal hasn't used Zoom yet. Thank goodness!
Just started my MA and was about to look for tips on zoom makeup, as I got to my homepage your video was the first recommended, even without searching
After a stressful day at work, I love popping on a Lisa tutorial... So soothing ❤️
I’ve had the opposite experience. I’m one of the only professionals who DOES wear basic makeup on Zoom, as I would in person, and people are always commenting to ME that I “still have to have my lipstick on” 😕
Seriously we can never win. We can do whatever we damn well please!
I wonder if that could be reported as some sort of discrimination based on gender. That’s unacceptable and a man would never be told something like that.
Lauren Amrine I find it’s mostly women who comment. Women are still (generally) the most judgemental of each other (and of ourselves).
I wear makeup every day, whether I’m in the office (I am in an industry that returned to work in phase 1, but we still work, when possible, from home) or not. And I get off hand comments sometimes about wearing makeup - always from women.
But I enjoy it. It makes me feel put together and, as Lisa mentioned, it’s a form of prep before the day. I don’t judge anyone for not wearing it, so please stop judging me for wearing it. (Tinted moisturizer, mascara, blush and lipstick or gloss is all I wear - I’m not caking layers on! But even if I did, shouldn’t it be my choice?). That’s what I’d like to say to those commenters 😊😉❤️
Some people are sucha haters! Don't take it personally, they are projecting their own insecurities 🙄
But never ever listened to them!
Makeup should always be fun and refreshing and not a task, in my opinion! 😊
I agree! X
My friend's team got told they need to make more of an effort: make-up, hair, outfits. I think it's appalling, so insensitive to the current struggles most workers are facing.
What struggles?
I love these videos in your home! 🥰🥰🥰
Genuinely my favourite youtuber/mua ever. Head and shoulders above the rest. xx
Love this video. I was so excited when I saw on Instagram that you had uploaded. I love this makeup look, its so fresh and elegant. Great tips regarding lighting, something I never thought about. Right enough, Im now retired but I do like to look my best when I zoom the kids or grandkids. Thank you Lisa, stay safe and well x
As soon as Lisa grabs her magic wand everything looks better instantly...it's a kind of magic🌟
Zoom/Teams is literally the worst part of this whole year! No, I don't want to 'pop the camera on' whilst in my pjs with mad hair 😂
No warning = no camera! I've taken to saying "sorry, I can't put my camera on because I look like a potato today" 😂
For real. My immediate response was “are men going to make more of an effort, too and start wearing make up?” Not pleased with it, but grateful for more awareness in how and where to dismantle sexism. I also consider this a class issue, too. Wtaf
I look busted on video calls, I hate them. I wish I had Lisa's lighting
@Marta Bilska Hahaha I'd forgotten about that! Amazing! 😂
Some of us just don’t put camera on, we aren’t as strict about it which is good on some days when pants are going to be a nope.
I used to wear make up all the time when I was working full time. Now that I have retired I do not always wear makeup. I have spent time watching your videos. I have used many of your products as well as the ones you recommend. I appreciate your down to earth presentations as well as the variety of products used.
Bless you, Lisa. What a generous and knowledgeable woman you are!
I was having the problems Lisa described in the video with my soap brow product. Sometimes my brows had little flakes of white and felt a bit crunchy. I used Lisa’s tip of spraying the product lightly with water this morning and it has worked a treat! I will be doing this from now on. So simple, but I would never have thought of it.
Also laughing at the cats giving off in the background. I have 4 cats and automatically took one of my earbuds out for a split second to see who was fighting before I caught myself on. Never a dull moment in multi-cat households. Hoping for another Ted Talk soon :)
I love wearing makeup, and your video tutorials Lisa, have been a God's sent!!
As a journalist/ media analyst, ive been doing most of my work via zoom/ Skype etc .
The pressure to look even better is enormous . I haven't been asked, to alter my makeup regime , but it's a given. Makeup,/hair, - and overal image is so important.
Sometimes I need to interview/ , or make commentaries at short, notice .
But given,
that I have never missed any of your excellent tutorials, I have learnt soooo much.!!! 💕
I somehow manage to apply my make up, do my hair,
quickly and efficiently (I hope)
The fact that you care, - ask questions, on how we cope in different circumstances/, situations,
makes you, an even more, special and a well loved individual.
I believe many would agree with me.
Ps I love your home decor.
It's beautiful. Keep safe Lisa .💖
Gorgeous - the perfect natural makeup!!!!!
I really love this format because unlike studio lights, this is relatable. Excited for your launch!
i asked my college students about their feelings towards teaching digitally and surprisingly a huge discussion about make up broke loose, some really enjoy not having to wear any, some do it like you said as a ritual to feel good and ready, some feel the need to wear more because they feel more vulnarable at home (or maybe because their lighting is just bad...) I think this is a really usefull discussion, maybe this new situation raises again new possibilities to learn about self love and taking conscious decisions about your body, I love that you bring it up!
Love this! Natural good lighting is the best. I just started teaching a SUNRISE exercise Zoom session with my family & dear friends so I can’t rely on the lighting as it changes every minute! At least it’s people I love and not a professional meeting.
Since I’ve been working from home I’ve been enjoying a pretty minimal getting ready routine. My girlfriend and I were talking about this must be what men feel like all the time 😂
Lisa, you trully are one of a kind. Making this video to help out women struggling with patriarchy at the work place is so amazing. And you did It in such a gracious way. Besides the makeup is always flawless. Love it
Spent my last meeting curled in the blanket^^)
So excited about the restock! The Velvet Jazz is my favourite and new shades look gorgeous!
yes, velvet jazz has to be the most beautiful red lipstick ever.
Lisa your lashes look amazing!!
You MUST reintroduce your sweet (or not so sweet) cats one day 😂 Their fighting was blasting in my earbuds, and I couldn’t stop giggling at work. This made my day! I love these home videos! So intimate and authentic. Much love from Texas 💛
Lisa, you are the most positive, calming presence as always! ( I met you at a meet & greet, and you were just as welcoming.) As far as makeup goes, I work in fashion and for my team, makeup is non existent. Top priority in terms of visuals are 1. background 2. hair. None of us really wear makeup anymore, and we only dress up our top half for important meetings with execs.
Lisa, you are a breath of fresh air in this crazy world! I've been fortunate to be able to work from home since 2012, so this is really no different for me. I'm not required to have my camera on for meetings, so I don't. I can't remember the last time I put makeup on or did anything with my hair other than putting it up in a bun to keep it off my neck and out of my face.
A quick natural makeup look must include Velvet Affair or Go Lightly or both!! Seriously can't wait for the launch! XX
This was very helpful! Thank you. I was a little bit worried about the cats fighting but seeing the one happily ensconced in that comfy chair eased my concerns. Also, electric guitars! Neat!
I’m a musician in a duet with my husband and, after thirty years of happy touring, we have moved all our performances online. I am NOT a fan of being photographed or filmed but it's our business so I'm adjusting. I had been wearing makeup for gigs prior to this, but nothing very major- some shadow, mascara, colored lip gloss and that’s about it. But video… well, I saw the first takes and thought, that will never do! So I’ve been devouring TH-cam tutorials and learning all sorts of new skills.
What a learning curve! :D I kind of wish I'd worked on this when I was a kid like most of my female friends but it was just never even in my thoughts. Anyway, I've been really enjoying the process of learning, and videos like yours have helped me tremendously. I just watched your "happy lips" demo and I'm going to be implementing your suggestions tomorrow for sure. :)
PS My husband no matter what I'm wearing or look like: You're so beautiful!
(Yes, he's the best!)
Me: puts on makeup.
Husband: You're so beautiful! That looks like fun! Can I have some, too?
Me: Of course! *applies a little eyeliner, mascara, primer and a dusting of powder.*
Husband: How do I look?
Me: You look beautiful!
Husband: It IS fun!
Husband several days later after playing with makeup: Makeup is HAAAAAAAAAARD!
I had to find a new job during quarantine. Opening cameras weren't required, but I missed the daily routine of doing my makeup and settling myself. So for the past interviews, I did my makeup and tried experimenting with bolder colors, even for my eyes, which I normally don't do. I think I did a fuchsia and green one at the last interview, and it was awesome. It was such an empowering thing to do, and it felt like I was getting back creativity in my daily life. As always, I wore my Lisa lipsticks
Yes, these videos are everywhere, but no one does it better. I love all your content, Lisa! 🇬🇧 💜💜💜
Thank you 😘😘
Thank you Lisa! This is helpful!
Pointing out the importance of flattering lighting
What a beautiful creature❤ Lisa never fails to lift my heart with kindness, serenity and ever comforting vibes.
Could I love you any more!!!! I fortunately have never been pressured to wear (or not to wear) makeup. I think your message is perfect. I wear makeup even on days I am not in the office or don’t have any meetings because that is how I like to get my day started. A little.bit of self care, and I just use that time to get myself into the right frame of mind for the day.
Love the look 💖💖💖. I agree with you that we have the choice to use makeup as a tool, and to be careful as it can become a crutch. Use makeup to enhance the beauty that you already own, like your smile or your eyes or don't wear any at all. It's a choice to wear makeup, don't allow anyone to pressure you... I enjoy these quick, easy looks. Thank you for creating and sharing this content 😘.
Love this more relaxed setting. I need this home decor style in my life.
Love the nail polish color so beautiful Lisa!
Thank you so much for this video!!!! I had several meetings ahead and I don't want to be ask (again) if I´m tired or not well rested. I never noticed the lighs in the room made me look that bad. Thank you again Lisa
Loved this video
I’ve been asked to do something with my hair. My hair is coarse and curly and thick and seriously unruly. For my job, it was best just either do some sort of messy bun or a gel stiff French braid. The first words out of my mouth were “do you think I WANT my hair to look like this?” I’ve gone through all the trends, colors, perms, straightening, short, long. My best options were what I was doing. Or shaved. And I wasn’t shaving.
Anytime I’ve had any style comments made, either upscaling the clothing or a verbal makeup dig made by anyone in a professional sense, I always say, when it’s provided as part of my paycheck, I will. Otherwise, my kids get groceries before I get mascara.
I just watched something heavy, so I came here to hear your voice to help change my mood, hehe. Wonderful video as always Liza
your skin in unreal Lisa! Would really appreciate it if you make a video of your skincare routine and what you do to maintain it looking so youthful x
Makeup (particularly red lipstick) has always felt like my armour. It feels like it connects me to the generations of women before me and the expression of my femininity in such a way is personally empowering. PS I love the British Short Hairs 🤍 Such precious felines!
This is the best lighting you’ve ever had. I can see clearly what you’ve done! Do film your videos from here please..
So delighted for any video from Lisa Eldridge 🥰
Love this :) thanks for inviting us into your home! The cats tho 😂 I haven’t been told I need to wear makeup on our zooms, but I definitely feel the pressure to. The women in my company all hate zooms for that reason-the same standard and time effort to get ready just isn’t there for men.
i work with coaching and matchmaking clients via Zoom most days and I would recommend using your video camera on your device (phone?) instead or the actual Zoom platform. That way no one can also sign in early and catch you primping! ;)
I’d never go to work or attend a Zoom without makeup. I don’t feel confident for work without it. For me. I found exactly what you said the natural light on my left from window made me look worse.. Got a ring light with different lighting and as you say the make up and lighting help enhance so I don’t look ghastly. Thanks for this video. I’ve had to experiment, not all make up looks great and professional on camera. A light-ish touch is best. I LOVE make up, love getting ready at home.
I just love seeing the Swedish pride of Liljevalchs sofa with Frank fabric in the background. Frank designed this sofa for the Liljevalch spring exhibition 1934, hence the name of the sofa. Liljevalchs is an art exhibition center in Stockholm who have their ”vårsalong” (meaning spring exhibition) every spring. This sofa is my dream sofa, and the fabrics are divine. 💕
At the time I am not working but when I did, I was told to wear “face makeup” since I would wear mascara and sometimes a thin eyeliner. I have very sensitive skin, prone to break outs, and if I wear foundation - even a light layer - for 3 straight days, my skin gets upset and sure reflects it. Keep in mind, I have always taken care of my skin for that same reason and tried new products that have and not worked. Right now the weather is starting to change and we have crazy wind with dust and my allergies are crazy (even while wearing a mask and avoiding going outside) to where I cannot even wear eye makeup since they get watery and itchy. But all the power to the women who do or do not wear makeup! 💪 It’s our choice to do what makes us feel beautiful, let’s empower one another! ❤️
Hi Lisa! Thank you again for such a lovely video. I’d love to know what camera and lens you usually use to film. Appreciate it I’m advance. Thanks!
This was fun. I was wearing a really good pair of headphones and seriously thought my geriatric cat must have gotten into something major. It was just Betty. I love how mellow you are with all the cat drama going on around you plus the cat lounging in the cool chair behind you. That Tom Ford compact is so beautiful and looks amazing on you.
Hi Lisa, love your videos! I was wondering if you could do a Maria Callas inspired makeup look (or something dramatic yet elegant) because I would love to learn to do that kind of a more difficult look for fun whilst staying home so I can use it when I do eventually go out.
Great tips! And wow what a fantastic design on your couch!
I hope you get to read this! Thank you so much for this!! I really needed it!! I’m a teacher and in my country, schools will not reopen until January, so it’s really nice to see a tutorial like this. In my line of work, our superiors did kind of tell us to look more professional than usual!
Lisa a virtual makeup session with keira knightley would be amazing!
Absolutely!!!!!
please no.. she's like nails down a blackboard, and has the acting range of my sideboard.
I love your background. But agree that lighting is key. If I cannot be near natural light, I have attached my phone to the Riki mirror and use the light to ensure I don’t look tired / shattered.
Your make up in your previous video was so beautiful, and this is similar to that! I’m loving these more informal videos x
Lisa!!! I've been hanging around the website waiting for the new lipsticks to launch and I'm so excited!! Can't wait for the video of them to come out!
Never thought of using purple with brown! Looks amazing!
Beautiful as always! Love your nail color!!!
I have started wearing some make up in video calls for work because it has made me feel a lot better as I have just gotten weary of working from home and wearing some make up has just changed things up for me. I also really enjoy playing with my eyeshadow these days too.
Yes, I did notice the brows! I love the Ted acting up!
Our lessons happened to be online the last year and one of our female teacher was wearing make up, and I’ve never seen her wearing make up when we are in classes face to face. That’s making sense. There was a pressure even on academics
If someone comments on my appearance during a video call, the camera gets turned off. Help them focus on what I am saying, not how I look.
No pressure but it could be the line of work I'm in, too, so it sucks to hear that there's an expectation like that in other professions. I received the update re: your new make-up coming out and I'm excited for it! I've bought several of your lipsticks now and I can honestly say that wearing them feels wonderful on my lips and the colors are truly beautiful.
I put makeup on before early morning calls to help feel and look more awake (most of my colleagues are in the UK so it's mid afternoon for them) and the go-to is always blush and mascara, and a touch of shading on the eyelids/sockets. A quick brush of color gel in the brows too to frame the face! It takes 5 mins and I feel ready for the day. A nice pair of earrings also goes a long way to make me feel put together on work calls, and they can be a way to have fun and express a mood too. :-) Haven't felt bothered to do hair though lol so it goes in a ponytail if it's particularly unruly!
I love how natural and beautiful U do makeup! And the lil info and reasoning behind why u do what u do is always helpful! Thank u! Stay safe
Yours are the only makeup tutorials I watch, so I'm glad you made this video!! :*
