It's been a while since I said hello to all of you wonderful people. I'm Lisa, Certified Makeup Artist, Green Beauty Pro, Homeschooling Mamma, Yoga enthusiast & Crafter. • • I have always loved crafting. There's something about sitting back with some crochet hooks and a new ball of yarn that makes me feel warm and cozy. I find that I reach for handicrafts more in the cold Ontario months than I do in the warmth, whether it be cross stitch, macrame or crochet. I want to learn to knit and sew too! What is your favourite handicraft? • • Yoga practice has been a source of great light for me over the past 2 years. It has helped me gain muscle, better balance and posture and it's been fun to work towards poses that I never in a million years thought I would be able to get into. It has also taught me that I hold my breath waaay too much, which I never really noticed before. It's been such a rewarding journey and I don't think I will ever give it up. Do you practice yoga? • • We love homeschooling our kiddos. It's been an amazing time seeing them soak up knowledge and bud into the wonderful little humans that they are. It is not always pretty. We have had our share of bad days to give us a little balance, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. • Image by @creatinglight.studio Here's to a weekend of heart warming, soul blazing, fun loving, greatness that has filled my cup to the brim. Thank you @goodlovelies for an opportunity that will give me the warm and fuzzies forever. P.S. Caroline, this picture is the bestest of the best ❤️ ∆ Prom ∆ . . It's already February which means prom season is approaching.  If you have no idea what you want your makeup to look like that day, try choosing your favourite facial feature and working with it. . . If you love your eyes, make them the focus of your look.  That doesn't mean you have to go full black smokey eye - unless you want to, of course!  If you like to keep things natural, try using a shimmery shadow in champagne, copper or soft plum to bring attention to your peepers. . If you love your cheeks, emphasize them with a shimmery cream or powder blush and use some highlighter to create a naturally sculpted look. . If your pout is your fave, make it pop with a bright pink, coral or red.  So many options! . If you're still looking for a prom dress and you want to reduce your footprint, why not try a rental service? 151 Charlotte by @bridesmade.ca rents beautiful dresses that you can wear and return to them when you're done.  Because let's be honest...you will likely not wear your prom dress again.  Less waste while looking just as gorgeous. How brilliant! . . . Photographer: @kelsiekathleenphoto Dresses: @151.charlotte Makeup: @greenbeauty.bylisatorti Hair: @savijaellishair Venue: @theinnofwaterloo Florals: @thegirlfloral ∆ Bridesmaid Makeup ∆ I love it when bridesmaids ask for a smokey eye! I had fun with this beauty using @elatecosmetics Rebel, Stillness & Earthen Eyeshadow, topped off with Gifted Pressed Twinkle Powder. A smokey eye doesn't have to be black and grey! On the cheeks I used Ingenue and Dew Pressed Cheek Colour and for lips I used Bloom Lipstick. ∆ M O D ∆ Another image from my amazing collaboration with @pamela_osa. If you are into one of a kind jewlery & vintage clothing, you have to check out her adorable little shop in Stratford. It's such a cozy spot and it's all because Pamela is so warm and friendly. Earrings and Choker by @pamela_osa Photographer @kkleistty Model and Muse @claireee_ey ∆ Pressed Foundation + Creme Revealer ∆ The @elatecosmetics Pressed Foundation (formerly Matte Pressed, pictured top right) now contains Vitis Vinifera, an anti-oxident that also promotes elasticity in the skin. This powder is so soft and smooth and another one of our awesome multi-use products! You can use it so many ways: ✓On it's own with our Multi use brush for medium to full buildable coverage ✓Over our Refresh or Uplift Foundation for more coverage or with a fluffy brush and a light hand to set foundation ✓use our Cheek/Contour brush and a darker shade to contour and a lighter shade for a matte highlight ✓As a base for your eyeshadow Our Creme Revealer (pictured bottom right) is now smoother and comes in a 3g pan so you can have it in it's own little compact or it can be put into your capsule palette! That means 100% less plastic. Now that is something to be excited about! Use your fingers or either of our eye brushes to apply. Each shade of both products is also now named with our new, more inclusive + logical, alphanumeric naming system using Warm (W), Neutral (N) and Cool (C) to help you better decide what shade is for you. ∆Uplift∆ Some of our @elatecosmetics products got a beautiful update so I will be introducing all it to you over the next few days. Get ready for some magic! Uplift Foundation (formerly Full Tint) is now packaged in frosted glass with laser printed label and gorgeous bamboo lid, which means 70% less plastic than before. I wasn't kidding about the magic! Each shade is now named differently. We are moving to a more inclusive + logical, alphanumeric naming system using Warm (W), Neutral (N) and Cool (C) to help you better decide what shade is for you.  So much awesomeness! This uplifting, whipped foundation is buildable for a light or full coverage and can applied with our super soft Multi Use Brush or your fingers. Get in touch with me if you need help finding a stockist in your area or if you have any questions about carrying Elate in your space. #elatedartist #elatebdp #elatecosmetics #lessplastic #upliftfoundation #loveelate #sustainablepackaging #indiebrand #canadianbrand #confidencethroughkindess #greenbeauty #vegan #glutenfree #sustainableliving #toxinfreemakeup #currentlywearing #crueltyfreemakeup #crueltyfree #cleanmakeup #multitasking #zerowaste #naturalbeauty #greenbeauty #ecobeauty #veganbeauty #cleanbeauty #ecofriendly #plantbasedbeauty #crueltyfreemakeupartist ∆ Collaborate ∆ One of my favourite words for so many reasons.  Life is too short for toxic competition. Why not collaborate instead?  If we lift each other up, we all succeed and that sounds pretty sweet to me. This beautiful image is from a collaboration that I was lucky to be a part of with a team of talented Cambridge wedding vendors. Every time I am asked to be part of these styled wedding collaborations, I feel incredibly blessed For Shannon's makeup, I used muted plums and it all ended up giving her a modern Snow White vibe. 🍎 Photography @anne.edgar.photo Florals @lapetitefleurcnd Model @geminimodels Makeup @greenbeauty.bylisatorti Hair @fadhairstudio Dress @camillaroseboutique Suit @collins_clotheirs_kw Stationary @redbicyclepaperco Coordination @aweevents_decor Location @e.v.o.kitchen #weddinginspo #collaborationovercompetition #wedding2019 #weddingflowers #weddingmakeup #bridalmakeup #weddings #weddingbeauty #brides #veganweddings #plantbasedbride #veganbride #bridesmaidmakeup #maidofhonourmakeup #creativelife #motherofthebridemakeup #motherofthegroommakeup #naturalbeauty #greenbeauty #ecobeauty #veganbeauty #crueltyfree #cleanbeauty #plantbasedbeauty #kwmakeupartist #cambridgeon #cambridgeontariomakeupartist I really love receiving images from my brides! Images of me in action are so fun to see because I am so focused when I'm working that most of the time I don't even notice they're being captured. This September day was a hot one!  On really hot days, I find it better to not compete with the inevitable sweat and shine.  A matte face will just melt and have to be touched up so much more than if you just embrace the day - and your face - for what it is.  Just some blotting papers and some lipstick and you're grooving.  That's exactly what I did for this bridesmaid at my friend Amber's (@creatinglight.studio) wedding. It's all about the glow baby!

How lovely does @_sambellina look in this photo? Confident, happy and full of light....her makeup is not the first thing you see. Now, don't get me wrong, if your daily makeup routine is a full set of lashes, black smokey eyes and purple lipstick, then embrace it! You should recognizable, not like a completely different person. Sam was such a pleasure to spend the day with and of course, working with Amber at Creating Light Studio is always a dream. Send me a DM if you would like to inquire about makeup for your next branding or headshot session.

Over the weekend I was asked to be part of a photoshoot for @151.charlotte, an awesome prom dress rental service in Kitchener. Isn't that just the greatest idea? We have a huge problem my fellow earthlings. We are mass consumers. We use way more than we should and more than our mother earth can handle. Why not rent your prom dress, knowing full well that you will probably never wear it again? It sounds like a win win to me. For this beauty, I used pinks and purples to make her beautiful big eyes really pop then finished the look off with Bloom Lipstick by @elatecosmetics Hair by @savijaellishair #sustainablefashion #promdressrental #Elate #elatebdp #elatecosmetics #prommakeup #specialoccasionmakeup #creativelife #prom #greenbeauty #sustainablelife #reuse #reduceyourfootprint #sustainableliving #toxinfreemakeup #veganmakeupartist #crueltyfreemakeup #crueltyfree #cleanmakeup #multitasking #zerowaste #naturalbeauty #greenbeauty #ecobeauty #veganbeauty #cleanbeauty #ecofriendly #plantbasedbeauty #crueltyfreemakeupartist #mua #makeupartist ✨Happy New Year!✨ Here's to a 2019 with more love ❤️ More give, less take More love, less hate More peace, less war More empathy, less apathy More light, less darkness Spread your light as far as you can, even when it feels like you have no light to give. There's someone out there that needs you, even if you feel like you are the one in need. It could be a stranger, family member, friend, colleague, even you. Maybe if we believe and try just a bit harder, if we love this planet and each other more, we can change things up in this world. If not, at least it will be a brighter place than last year. That would be enough I think. Sending good vibes and much love to all of you. Namaste 💕🙏🎉🎇❤️✨ • • #happynewyear #love #morelove #goodvibes #spreadthelove #namaste #crystals #highvibe #namaste #creativelife #confidencethroughkindess #vegan #sustainableliving #loveandlight #lovetheearth #mamaearthneedsus #livesustainably #stopthemadness #thisisgoingtobeagoodyear Today's was my last wedding of the year. What a lovely bunch they were! This mother of the bride has such big, beautiful eyes so I highlighted them with mauves and used @elatecosmetics new Pressed Twinkle Eye Colour in Ethereal to really make her eyes shine.

A year of more ups than downs, which I haven't been able to say for a very very long time. I took the time to set intentions, move my body more & work on my deepest self. I manifested the most wonderful trip to Victoria, B.C. for the @elatecosmetics Leadership Summit where I met some pretty awesome humans and became a BDP for this amazing company. I rebranded my own business with the help of some magical talents. I made family time a priority and enjoyed so many beach days during the warm summer months. Can't forget to mention touring with my love, Mr. Chris and the @gassybubbles ❤️ I also moved my body so much more than I have ever before. Thank goodness for yoga practice! If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that I couldn't be where I am without the love and support I have received from my people. Thank you to everyone that have followed along on my journey. ✨The light in my bows to the light in you✨ • • #happynewyear #greenbeautyenthusiast #manifest #intentions #cleanbeautyartist #creativelife #grateful #gratitude #namaste #greenbeauty #vegan #sustainableliving #toxinfreemakeup #crueltyfreemakeup #crueltyfree #cleanmakeup  #naturalbeauty #greenbeauty #ecobeauty #veganbeauty #ecofriendly #plantbasedbeauty #crueltyfreemakeupartist #mua #makeupartist Flashback to this session for @bensonapparel, as seen in @harryroseninc Magazine • Model @mattcarson_j of @sutherlandmodels Photography by @michele_taras_photography Grooming @beautybylisatorti Assistant @veronicahufana • • • #mensgrooming #fbf #flashbackfriday #editorial #fashionfriday #fashion #publishedmakeupartist #makeup #makeupartist #mua #creativelife #greenbeauty #organicbeauty #ecobeauty #veganbeauty #crueltyfree #cleanbeauty #veganmakeupartist #promua #professionalmakeuparist #organickit #crueltyfreekit #kwmakeupartist #ontario #freelancemakeupartist #crueltyfreemakeupartist ∆ Wedding Makeup with Green Beauty ∆ • • Looking back, I remember my worries when I started making the change from conventional to clean, cruelty-free beauty in my kit. I remember thinking that my clients would be able to tell the difference, that the products wouldn't perform the way my clients were used to. Years later, I now know that I didn't need to worry. I can't believe how quickly I am booking up with clients that are coming to me specifically because of my kit in 2019. I am filled with gratitude!

It's time to remember, you don't need glitter or shimmer to glow.

Most of the time, my clients are very nervous before their shoot so I try to keep the mood calm and still...let them get into the zone.  I can't help but smile when I get the images back and see that every single time, the nervous ones shine so bright....like I knew they would! We are always hardest on ourselves. • When considering what you want your makeup to look like, remember that you shouldn't look much different than you do every day at work.  You want to look recogniseable, approacheable and, well, like yourself.
