The beauty expert, makeup artist and Lancôme Global Creative Director on the treatments and tools she believes are worth the investment
When a beauty professional with decades of experience tells you which skincare tools are genuinely worth having, it pays attention.
That is exactly why Lisa Eldridge’s beauty routine continues to attract interest. One of the most respected makeup artists in the industry, Lisa has spent years working with some of the world's most recognisable faces and developing a reputation for a thoughtful, expert-led approach to beauty.
In a feature for Wardrobe ICONS, Lisa discusses her approach to beauty, her career and the products and tools she considers worth knowing about.
Among the technologies associated with Lisa's routine is Celluma LED light therapy — a treatment she has also spoken about elsewhere, including in her own beauty content.
What makes LED light therapy so appealing?
There is a reason LED has moved from something found primarily in professional treatment spaces to a fixture in modern skincare routines.
Unlike treatments that involve needles, resurfacing or significant downtime, LED light therapy is non-invasive. It uses specific wavelengths of light as part of a targeted treatment protocol, making it an appealing option for people who want to take a more considered approach to skin maintenance.
For beauty professionals, that versatility is especially useful.
LED can sit alongside the rest of a skincare routine, rather than requiring you to completely change it.
And for someone like Lisa Eldridge, whose career revolves around creating beautiful, healthy-looking skin, that makes it a particularly interesting addition.
Why beauty professionals are turning to LED
The modern beauty landscape is increasingly focused on skin preparation rather than simply covering concerns with makeup.
For a makeup artist, great makeup starts with great skin.
That has helped drive interest in technologies such as LED light therapy, which can be incorporated into a wider routine focused on the appearance and condition of the skin.
Celluma combines different wavelengths of LED technology within its devices, with specific modes designed around particular applications.
Red light is commonly used within protocols focused on the appearance of ageing and skin rejuvenation, while blue light is used for acne-related applications. Near-infrared light offers deeper penetration and forms another part of Celluma's technology platform.
The result is a treatment that can be integrated into a broader professional or home skincare routine.
Lisa Eldridge and the power of a consistent routine
One of the most interesting things about Lisa's approach to beauty is that it isn't about chasing every new trend.
Her career has been built on understanding what works, what is useful and what earns a place in a routine.
That makes her relationship with LED particularly relevant.
Rather than positioning light therapy as a quick beauty fix, LED is better understood as something that can be used consistently over time.
This approach mirrors the way many beauty professionals now think about skincare: small, repeatable habits can be more valuable than constantly switching between treatments.
Lisa has spoken publicly about using Celluma in her own beauty routine, including featuring the device in her own content.
Celluma: technology designed around the skin
Not all LED devices are created in the same way.
Celluma's technology has been developed around specific wavelengths, treatment protocols and clinical applications rather than simply creating a panel of lights.
The flexible construction of Celluma devices is another key part of the experience.
Rather than having to keep your face perfectly still beneath a rigid device, Celluma's flexible panels are designed to sit closer to the body's contours, making them adaptable across different treatment areas.
That versatility has helped establish Celluma as a popular choice within both professional and home environments.
More than just an LED face mask
When people search for LED face masks, they often picture a rigid wearable mask designed solely for facial treatments.
Celluma takes a different approach.
Its flexible LED systems can be used across multiple areas, depending on the device and selected treatment mode.
This makes LED a little less about having another beauty gadget in the bathroom cabinet and more about investing in a piece of technology that can form part of a broader skincare and wellness routine.
For people interested in LED for the face, neck, chest or other areas, this flexibility can make a significant difference.
The investment question
One reason Lisa Eldridge's approach is particularly interesting is that she is not simply recommending products for the sake of it.
When discussing beauty tools, the question ultimately becomes:
Is it worth investing in a device you'll actually use?
With LED, consistency is a central part of the equation.
A high-quality device is only useful if it can realistically become part of your routine. That means considering everything from treatment times and ease of use to flexibility, intended applications and the technology behind the device.
For those looking to introduce red light therapy at home, these are the details worth researching before making a purchase.
From makeup artist essential to modern skincare technology
Lisa Eldridge's influence extends well beyond makeup.
Her approach reflects a wider change within the beauty industry, where preparation, skin health and technology are becoming increasingly important.
The old idea that beauty is simply about makeup is being replaced by a more holistic view — one that includes skincare, devices, treatments and long-term maintenance.
LED light therapy fits neatly into that evolution.
And with beauty experts such as Lisa incorporating Celluma into their own routines, the technology continues to gain attention from consumers who want something more considered than the latest passing skincare trend.
Why Lisa Eldridge's Celluma recommendation matters
There is an enormous amount of beauty technology available today.
So when an experienced professional chooses to make one particular device part of their own routine, it naturally gets people's attention.
Lisa Eldridge's use of Celluma is a strong example of how LED has become part of the professional beauty conversation — not as a gimmick, but as a technology that can complement a carefully considered approach to skincare.
