DAY TO NIGHT: INSIDE LISA POTTER-DIXON’S MOST PERSONAL BEAUTY EDITS YET
There’s a quiet confidence that runs through everything Lisa Potter-Dixon does. With over 20 years of experience working at the highest level of the industry, her approach to makeup is not about trends: it’s about understanding faces, formulas and the joy of reinvention and self-expression. Her latest Cult Beauty Edits — carefully curated day and night collections — feel like an invitation into her professional kit and personal philosophy.
“These edits are deeply personal to me,” Lisa says. “Each one is filled with products I genuinely love, trust and use.” What makes this curation special is not just the names inside the boxes, but the thinking behind them. Every product is created by a fellow makeup artist — people who design formulas with performance, wearability and real skin in mind. “In my 20 years of experience, nothing compares to a product made by a pro.”
Rather than creating one definitive look, Lisa has built two complementary beauty wardrobes. The Art of Everyday is centred around refined, effortless beauty perfect for day-to-day wear, while The Beauty of Night dials up the drama with colour, texture and creative impact. Both are designed for all ages and skin tones, and both are intentionally versatile. “Nothing is prescriptive,” Lisa explains. “You can wear them sheer or layered, in the expected way or completely your own way.”
DISCOVER THE ART OF EVERYDAY EDIT
For Lisa, a polished everyday look is about skin that looks fresh, colour that feels natural, and hard-working products that make the most of the hurried 5-minute mornings. “In this edit, you’ll discover the kind of products that will earn a permanent spot in your makeup bag,” notes Lisa. “I can confidently say these are not fleeting trends; these formulas are essentials.”
The edit features a carefully curated selection of most-loved products, including Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk Lip & Cheek Glow in Colour of Passion — a multi-use cream that adds warmth and softness in seconds — to Laura Mercier’s Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Au Naturel. Brows are polished but never rigid with Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze Gel, and the all-important glow is layered thoughtfully with Fenty Beauty’s Gloss Bomb Universal Luminizer in Fu$$y and the Westman Atelier Lit Up Stick in Nectar.
Together, these products create a ‘lit-from-within’ finish — it’s everyday artistry, guided by Lisa’s expert lens.

THE STORY BEHIND THE BEAUTY OF NIGHT EDIT
If the daytime edit is about hard-working staples, The Beauty of Night embraces the joy of transformation. “This is where the magic happens,” Lisa says. “I love pieces that can take you from day to night without starting from scratch — richer pigments, bold liners and textures that really catch the light. A great eye or lip can completely change the energy of a look, and the products in this box are perfect for dialling things up, whether that’s a smoky eye, a statement lip or a bit of shimmer in unexpected places.”
“From backstage to the red carpet, I’ve tested countless products on myself and celebrity clients. This edit has been curated to help you create looks that feel elevated, glamorous and unmistakably you.” Perfect for building intensity gradually, Make Up For Ever’s Artist Color Crayon in Cheeky Fuchsia brings true versatility and for high-impact shine, Danessa Myricks Beauty's Colorfix Stix in Magic Hour and Aurora Radiance serves up metallic and foil finishes that transform an eye in seconds.

BEAUTY BEYOND BOUNDARIES
“Inclusivity was non-negotiable when it came to these product choices,” explains Lisa. “I wanted products that genuinely work across skin tones, ages and makeup confidence levels. Every product is versatile; nothing is prescriptive. You can wear them sheer or layered, in the 'expected' way or completely your own way. My biggest advice is to play — use a cream blush on lips, tap shimmer onto the eyes with your fingers, or mix textures. Makeup should feel empowering, not intimidating."
“I hope they feel confident, inspired and excited to experiment and to add new products to their daily routine. Makeup should be joyful, not about perfection, rules or looking like someone else. If people open these edits and feel encouraged to try something new, trust their instincts and express themselves more freely, then I’ve done my job. It’s all about feeling like the best version of you, whatever that looks like that day.”
