If you haven’t checked out Lisa Eldridge’s website yet, you may be certifiably nuts. As I mentioned in a previous post, her video tutorials are where it’s at: comprehensive, creative and just downright pleasant to watch. She recently posted a tutorial for a classic, glamorous party look that I have been watching on repeat!
I love this video because Lisa explains how to effortlessly achieve two classic beauty looks: the red lip and the cat eye. She ties them all together keeping it super classy with fresh, radiant skin.
Lovelies, what do you think of this video? What are some other classic party make up looks you love?

I love the cat eye and red lips combo! Classic red polish is nice, too.

I honestly, seriously, learned more about doing make up from drag queens and special effects artists than tutorials like this. I realize this is just a basic tutorial, but it’s over 10 minutes long, so I’d kind of expect her to go over how to line up the “flicks” (as she calls them) with your actual eye shape, and how to keep them even between each other. Saying “match them” doesn’t say much. And AUGH how she puts on mascara drives me nuts!
I’m realizing I’m starting to sound like a snob, so I’ll just shut my face now.
