Imagine going into the office with red patches on your face. Now imagine your office was the primetime spot on national television six nights a week. Well, that’s the reality for host of The Project, Lisa Wilkinson.
However, during the last day of filming for 2021, Lisa’s makeup artist Julie Bekiri introduced her to a game-changing and completely genius hack for combatting unexpected attacks of inflammation. And as we’ve come to learn, the greatest beauty hacks seem to involve using products in ways they weren’t intended — hello, lip liner smokey eyes.
This time around? It’s all about using saline solution or red eye drops to reduce facial redness. Obviously.
In a side-by-side picture posted to her Instagram, Lisa wrote: “Turning my ‘before’ into an acceptable ‘after’ for the cameras,” along with instructions on how to achieve the same result.
According to Lisa, this method involves “applying cotton pads soaked in saline solution for 10 to 15 minutes.” And voilà, “no more red”, as written by her makeup artist Julie.
Even though she compared herself to Norman Gunston during the process, the end result of even-toned, luminous skin seems worth it.

Have you ever heard of this skin hack? Will you try it?
I’ve never heard of this hack and I don’t suffer from redness so this is not something I need.
Interesting. I do suffer from redness, but have never heard of this hack before. Might have to try it!
Interesting. I have some redness and may try this tip in the future (if I remember)
It will be worth a shot
The photos aren’t really clear enough to know if this is helpful or not.
Interesting hack for redness!
She looks great!
Yes and her make up shows her off beautifully
I wonder if this will help me with my rosacea red patches?
I didn’t even recognise Lisa without her make up in that photo!!
Worth a try and it won’t do any harm
I too suffer from rosacea & was wondering exactly the same thing.
Interesting. Do not get redness, so would not know what works.
Wow I did not recognise her without makeup. Such a transformation!
I love Lisa Wilkinson, but I don’t suffer redness.
I have never heard of this but obviously it must work
learning something new every day
hahah lol yeh had a good laugh at the mention of Norman – Lisa is so funny and fun!! Love her comment!♥
I feel maybe saline would dry my skin out. I think I’ll give this a miss.
id love my makeup done
I do have saline solution at home and will remember this next time skin redness strikes.
Wow, is it that easy to get rid of red! I surely will give this a go…when I’m home alone:)
Lisa Wilkinson sure has some great Beauty Tips. 😊 With a Studio Makeup Artist would give her lots of Tips as well.
I have not heard of this hack,
could be worth it for a special day
Look at that before photo! Gorgeous woman.
I do suffer from redness on my cheeks so I’m eager to try this simple hack shared by Lisa Wilkinson.
I haven’t heard of it before and I don’t have redness.
Would have liked to see the true ‘before’ pic with the actual redness there
I don’t have a redness problem but it’s valuable advice for those who do.
Like to see Lisa’s actual redness! I have a spot of redness near my nose and will give this a go.
Really enjoying Lisa’s new book atm – very interesting reading – especially growing up in that era and an avid reader of Dolly with Lisa at the helm.
I can go very red
Cool tip… Makes sense…
First time I hear about that.
An interesting hack! Takes some time though
Interesting i haven’t heard of this before. I don’t get redness much. But for any swelling i like using cold rose water
This isn’t a big problem for me, but I’m always interested in simple solutions like this.
I do get some redness every now and then. This tip is simple and worth a try.
She look different without makeup.I do suffer from redness time to time. Good to know this skin hack.
I would have to cover my entire face and not two small dots of redness 🙁
I guess it makes sense. May try it sometime.
I have broken capillaries on my cheeks but I haven’t heard of this trick before.
