She is the queen of no makeup makeup and even manages to make a smokey eye look subtle.

If you have seen any of her videos, you will notice how little product she actually uses. Even Victoria Beckham commented how surprised she was when she went to remove her makeup after a shoot with Lisa on how little product was applied.
