It’s no secret that Lisa Armstrong hasn’t had the easiest couple of years. But behind the scenes, the make-up artist has been working on a project close to her heart.

Having been in the industry for 20 years – working on the likes of Strictly Come Dancing and Glow Up – Lisa, 43, has launched her own range with Avon and she’s incredibly proud.

Chatting to us from a hotel – where she’s staying while her house is being done up – Lisa opens up about becoming more confident with age, what’s left on her bucket list and plans to move into her new home…

Hi Lisa! How does it feel as a make-up artist to launch your own range?

It’s an absolute dream having your own name on a product you’ve worked so hard on. To see it come to life has been really overwhelming and emotional – it’s been two-and-a-half years in the making.

How hard was it not doing the job you love in lockdown?
