She's a social media sensation who counts British TV personalities among her friends, but it's her authentic and relatable charm that has won the hearts of hundreds of thousands online. This week, Lisa O'Mara, the 55-year-old influencer from Bermondsey, London, left her followers speechless by unveiling a dramatic new look.
A Stunning Transformation Revealed
Known for her natural, makeup-free appearance, Lisa presented a fully glammed-up version of herself to her combined audience of 249,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok on Tuesday. Her daughter-in-law, Rhianna Stonely, who manages her accounts, was the mastermind behind the transformation.
The makeover featured straightened hair, bold red lipstick, false eyelashes, and noticeably fuller eyebrows. A visibly stunned Lisa gazed into the mirror, exclaiming to Rhianna: "Oh my god, that looks the b******s... You have done absolutely amazing."
She continued, marvelling at the details: "I've got thicker eyebrows, I normally have them thin, my lips look fuller... I am so happy. Honestly I can't believe it." She eagerly asked her fans to rate her new look out of ten, overflowing with excitement and gratitude.
Life in Bermondsey and Celebrity Encounters
Lisa's content, beloved for its quirky and down-to-earth style, typically documents her everyday life in South London. Followers enjoy her humorous reactions to mundane activities, from grocery trips to Tesco to trying new foods.
Her growing profile has led to friendships within the celebrity sphere. Recently, she visited Borough Market with Freddy Brazier, 21, and sampled truffle for the first time. Lisa is good friends with Freddy's grandmother, Jackiey Budden. While Freddy enjoyed the gourmet treat, Lisa was less impressed and famously spat it out.
Her fun-loving personality was on full display during a recent night out with Jackiey Budden, 68. The pair, dubbed "the crazy duo," shared clips of themselves dancing at Boxpark, attempting to ride a bike together, and performing a spirited karaoke rendition of 'I Will Survive'.
Heartbreak, Hope, and the Search for a Soulmate
Despite her joyful and positive online presence, Lisa has faced significant personal challenges. In a heartfelt Instagram video, she opened up about past heartbreak, revealing that a previous long-distance boyfriend of four and a half years cheated on her.
She also spoke about the profound loss of the father of her two children, with whom she was in a relationship for 14 years. "Unfortunately he ain't with us anymore he passed away," she shared.
Nevertheless, the mother-of-two and grandmother has not given up on romance. "True love is all I've ever wanted," she confessed to her followers. "I'm confident, I've got a heart of gold... and I'd love to meet the right person. One shot of love and I really truly believe you're going to find me. The love of my life and my dreams come true."
She emphasised the importance of her family, including her two sons aged 30 and 22, and her two grandchildren, stating that being family-orientated is a cornerstone of her life.
