I love seeing how real people do makeup (rather than beauty influencers) so I loved this. We have very similar facial features and use many of the same products. I have that hour glass palette but rarely use it because I feel like the shimmer looks like “makeup” on my skin. I’m going to give it another try tonight. You would love Thrive’s eyeliner in Chocolate Shimmer. It’s such a pretty color. Also, I assumed your cheeks were filler!
Thank you 😊 I find that the shimmer in the palette is only noticeable from very close up, but at conversational distance you can’t see it anymore and it just helps light reflect nicely off of the skin. And I think my cheeks are the last place I will ever need filler 😅
The products you use are such a throwback! I still wear MAC, too! Thanks for sharing! Can you make a video about your oral hygiene, nail and hair routine?
So beautiful! I like how light it looks. I usually just apply tinted sunscreen or BB cream on top of non tinted sunscreen. When I do wear makeup it’s very minimal.
Our favorite Dermatologist really knows makeup. Dr. Ellis, You may enjoy the Westman Atelier foundation sticks and the Charolotte Tilbury airbrush powder. I really love the Colorscience color sticks as well. Maybe you'll share how you take care of your teeth sometime? Hope you're having a fantastic week and thank you!
You look gorgeous 😍 I do not if you have ever said that but do you reapply the sunscreen? And is it easy with all the make up after ? Have you ever used reapplying over the make up all the sunscreens? 🤗
As someone who also works with a lot of redness on the cheeks, I avoid many blushes. The bareMinerals Blonzer is the perfect mix though - it has enough of the brown warm glow with just a hint of color. My favorite color is the Kiss of Copper. These were a limited launch though so they’re difficult to find now.
You look gorgeous, Dr. Sam. I love how natural your makeup look is. I too prefer a brown eyeliner, and the UD Whiskey is one of my favorites. I also like the Charlotte Tilbury eyeliners. Always browns or plums. I find at my age, black is too harsh. I'm currently liking the DRMTLGY Tinted Mineral Sunscreen. I trade that off and on with the Elta MD Tinted Mineral Sunscreen. Both are excellent. Hope you are feeling well. Thanks for showing your makeup routine. ❤
Thanks Dr. Ellis. I never wear blush. Doesn't matter what foundation, what coverage, blush just pulls the broken capillaries on my face right through that coverage. And I'm talking a dusting, not a rubbing of blush. I'm Fitzpatrick 1 with rosacea. Most of the time I just walk around with red blotches and streaks on my face. Nobody looks at me anyway. I'm 57 and have mercifully become invisible. I play with foundations and things later, after dark, since that red/white skin is also extremely dry. Even after a few hours, I'm applying something like Avene Cicalfate around my mouth and lower face on top of foundation. I would never put a full face on in the morning. It would be flaking away like so much snow by 11 a.m.
This is such a fun video. Have you tried the Jane Iredale liquid minerals foundations. Its actually good for your skin because it has vitamin c and hydralonic acid. I swear that is the best foundation I have ever tried. Its also like light coverage like you like
Very helpful to hear how you think about placing color. I’m an artist, so using light and dark colors to push and pull features seems spot on. I have a live hate relationship with blush depending on rosacea flaring. The best thing for me has been omnilux led light mask for calming down redmess
You are gorgeous & I love your videos! I would love to hear your thoughts comparing elta md uv elements vs uv restore (tinted versions) Also I have a question! Is tinted spf better than untinted? I don’t want to look like I’m wearing makeup but I also have rosacea
Excelente y lo que mas agradezco es que nos confirma que si se puede replicar el protector solar sobre el el make up, yo pensaba que hacíamos mal con esa mezcla. 🙏🏼😘💗.
Well done, doctor! Totally put together and ever so natural. I have been debating that Nars concealer to use on my hyperpigmentation on my perimeter to help me use less foundation.
I love Nars concealer and have been using it for sometime now, and like you I prefer a brownish eyeliner. Have a look at Victoria Beckhams eyeliner gels, they are really good, glide on so easily and last all day, I use her Cocoa, Bronze and just purchased the Burgundy. Will look at UD though.
I love and use Mac F&B and the hourglass ambient palette as well! I think since you like a quick, clean look you'll like Benefit Gimme Brow. It's a tinted brow gel so the application is quick. I think Essence makes a dupe but I will say the brush is harder so it's not as pleasant.
my makeup holy grail that i will be using and repurchasing for years to come is the estee lauder double wear foundation, they have such a great shade range too! definitely give that one a try!
Thank you so much for sharing your makeup routine. I have deep set eyes exactly like you and with my rosacea and shadows I too do not wear eye makeup. I use NARS in Madeline (my skin color) on my eyelids and Armani luminous silk under eye concealer shade #5. This doesn’t need to be set and doesn’t show lines (I am 50) It’s great and isn’t drying . I use Supergoop unseen sunscreen and Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. Light and great combo for my fair with freckles sensitive skin daily. Thank you again for all your valuable advice and info. Best wishes and warm healthy thoughts for you and baby. From our healthcare provider family in Canada to yours 🇨🇦❤️
I don’t wish to corrupt anyone here with my 💄 addiction, but I must say that Chantecaille Lip Veil in Tamboti and their Lip Tint Balms are the most hydrating, softly beautiful, and neutral colors I’ve ever met. Most other lipsticks and glosses dry out my lips, including their Lip Chics 👄 the Nars Afterglow Lipbalm. You’re welcome 😉
Fun video! Thank you! I will try the MAC face and body because I normally don't love heavy foundation either. Here's a question....do you use any at home teeth whitening? Just curious if there is one you recommend.
I'm very fair and finally found a bronzer product that is light enough to work in a very natural way. Missha Cotton Contour in Smoked Hazel that is great, also good as an eye shadow, very muted. Do you find that you can use either the Urban Decay or the Mac Kohl eyeliners as tightliners that last a while and apply to the inner lid smoothly? Is there one you'd recommend?
Word of caution: she's using the old formula. This year it was relaunched and, in spite of what MAC says, it's definitely more glowy and sheer. Great for winter, but I decided it'd be too greasy looking during warmer months.
Hej Doc, a hils (salute) from Denmark, I was wondering as you used the Butter Bronzer from PFormula....I have bought 2 different shades even and even though they are beautiful and feel so smooth to the touch, there is something in the components that brake me out and that is very rare, I have tons of makeup, different brands, high & low end...and I do not know but that bronzer is the only one that makes a difference, and brakes me out, could it be the coconut?
Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed watching your video. I recently purchased LYS foundation at Sephora, and I love it. It even has some skincare ingredients and relatively affordable. You may like it too.
Thanks so much for sharing your makeup routine. Really enjoyed this video . . . It was so very helpful. Would LOVE to see a similar video that shares your "hair care / hair styling" routine!.
That mascara is the BEST there is. I have super sensitive eyes (eye lid eczema) and for many years I used Clinique's High Impact. I tried Maybelline's and I swear by it, it is so gentle and so effective there's no need to spend more!
Beautiful natural make up. I have rosacea and I am quite happy with the BB cream from Bioderma Sensibio AR, the downsize is of course the colour range... I do use a blush in a peach tone and it works for me better than a bronzer which somehow does not suit me. I would be very interested in your opinion about shelf life, actually pao, of make up products. I always see different opinions and some biochemists say that the real pao is actually shorter than the pao on the packaging depending on how we use the products and the packaging itself (applicators directly applied on the skin, etc) I am using mascara for 3 months, cream products 6 months and powders 12 months. I have seen dermatologists (who often advocate for very short shelf lifes to be on the safe side :)) saying that powder eyeshadows should not be used for longer than 6 months because they are used to close to the eyes and most people double dip in with the brushes..... so that would be great if you could share your knowledge on this :D Thank you!
I love watching the make up that you use! I just bought the Hour Glass product due to you indicating there was no shimmer or glitter. 💕Love this content!
I love this video! I think I need to purchase the products you used. I have tried the Mac face and body and it was so pink on me so I need to buy two and mix them like you do. I just love how natural yet put together! I’m so tired of beauty influencers make up routines. Love you Dr. Ellis🖤
Love your videos! You mentioned just rinsing your face with water before putting on vitamin C. Does that make it less efficacious than if you had washed your face? I put on various products at night (including moisturizers and occlusives) and thought those might obstruct the absorption of vitamin C in the morning if I don’t wash my face…
overnight is plenty of time for your skincare products to fully sink in, so there is no need to wash them off. many derms recommend only rinsing in the AM if you do not have oily skin in the morning, so I think it should be ok 👍
I thought you had to wash your face in the morning as well to get it to the right pH balance before applying vitamin C. The budget dermatologist on RU-vid recommends cleansing with L’Oreal 3.5% pure glycolic acid cleansing gel prior to applying vitamin C.
