Briton Lisa Elridge is one of the most influential makeup artists in the world, a blogger with an audience of several million people, and since last year also the creative director of Lancôme.
Fascinated by the art of makeup since childhood, Lisa nurtured the idea of a book for several years, and then spent the same number of years in archives and libraries, looking for rare shots and unknown facts. And it turned out the first encyclopedia of the world of beauty. There is a place in it for history (by the way, Venetian white was very toxic!), And theories (for example, why red is the most important color in women’s makeup), and technology. And she has a lot to say about innovative textures. Let’s say, if earlier fish scales were used for mother-of-pearl radiance, now L’Oréal alone has about 20 pigments and 1000 types of pearls to create the perfect highlighter. In a word, whether you are a makeup fan or not, Lisa Elridge’s book will definitely be of interest to you.
