My Favorite Makeup as a Dermatologist | Makeup for Clear Skin | Dr. Sam Ellis

[@kendallstark4302]

As a natural redhead, I also love brown mascara! If you're looking for an awesome drugstore brand, try Essence! Their lash without limits mascara is great and doesn't flake 💗

[@genietillery878]

Very natural looking makeup. I love products that have sunscreen in them for the extra protection.

[@hrhsophiathefirst4060]

That lip trick is a game changer, I apply my lip hydration sandwich, water, HA serum, Cerave and then Vaseline, then do my hair and get dressed. Then as I head out I remove and apply my lipstick and lipliner and my lips stay moist for hours under lipstick. Your makeup is very subtle and flattering. That lip color and blush were made for you!

[@nancymccormick7567]

I have to try that lipstick!

[@Redemer10-23]

Already so pretty with out any makeup

[@debifier]

What a gorgeous look and a fun video. I love that you featured 2 of my favorite brands: Persona and Ciele! The Ciele skin tint (which is really more like a foundation) is my go-to base product now. It is stunning. And I now own multiple shades of the Persona and Ciele blushes because they are just perfection.

[@kanchanadevi5021]

Love your videos! Could you do a full video on lips? How to make lipstick last and how to inprove the skin on the lips? And for those who dont have very defined lips due to chapped or dry lips. And about Dr Dennis lip led mask?

[@DrSamEllis]

Great idea!!

[@user-DVpazyamor]

I love that Gee Prime Skin… I mix 1and 2 and looks like your skin is flawless…. I don’t like the foundation feel so this is perfect!!

[@kmstins]

I was happy to see you recommend it cosmetics cc cream. I use the illumination version and it is SPF 50+. I go over it very lightly with Bare Minerals original foundation (SPF 15), and original Mineral Veil (SPF 25). 👌😊

[@amparoardila272]

Excellent video!! Thanks for your recommendations! It would be awesome if you do a video about makeup for sensitive eyes and sensitive skin. I can’t wait for all de Dr recommendations! Thanks a lot

[@TamraStern]

Agreed! My mom's skin has become so sensitive that she can't wear any makeup at all. She can't even stand when her hair touches her face! The multiple dermatologists she has seen have not helped her at all. She's 80 and when she sees herself in photos she says how "scary" she looks (she doesn't!). I think if she could wear just a little makeup she might feel better about herself.

[@reneklein6049]

Hi Dr. Sam. The BK Beauty brushes are the best, in my opinion. The 101 is my favorite foundation brush. The primer you used looks amazing. Your skin is absolutely incredible. The Hourglass Bronzer is my all time favorite. I believe the Ciele blushes color that you used is Nikki La Rose's favorite. It's a lovely shade. Beautiful finished look! 💖💖

[@suzanneholman1203]

You are lovely! Thanks for this video. I am 60 and my favorite foundation is Dior Forever SkinGlow. Everything you said!

[@carolynmikell7799]

I would love to see a video on how you keep your makeup brushes clean!

[@blueelf217]

Very pretty, and yes I don't hear more about these products from make-up you tube channels, but maybe because they talk about the products, they get for free in PR packages. Some I follow, do buy their products on their own, but I haven't heard of these, and they seem like quality products.

[@lja530]

For anyone looking for a more affordable glowy foundation, the NYX Born to Glow foundation is amazing for normal to dry skin, has decent coverage and comes in so many shades. I honestly think it's better than most high end products.

[@michy2630]

Thank you. I wear makeup once a week and want to get some of these products but they're pricey for the amount of makeup I wear. I'm going to try this. Have you tried the Dior Glow?

[@lja530]

@michy2630 No, I haven't. I'm sure it's good but I don't like fragrance in foundation.

[@michy2630]

@@lja530 which one has fragrance? IT? Or the Dior? I don't like fragrance either

[@chrisgraham3803]

Very natural looking makeup routine! Love your videos…❤❤❤

[@DrSamEllis]

Thank you so much!!

[@christinemack2153]

Super informative and very pretty look Now I need to try some of these knowing they haven skin benefits.

[@tigherkai]

Please try more Ciele, I swear all of their products perform better than products with similar products that don't have SPF. Seriously I don't know how they do it. I wear the blush and concealer almost every day, and the skin tink (med coverage) is INCREDIBLE when I want coverage all over.

[@dlj548]

Natural and pretty look for you! I'm going to try the Persona products.

[@chariots8x230]

Dr. Ellis, when you get the chance can you please also make a video on *makeup for sensitive skin?* I need some makeup that doesn’t have any drying or irritating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, fragrance, drying alcohols, etc. I want to wear makeup, but I have sensitive skin, and it can be difficult to find makeup with clean ingredients that won’t irritate my skin. Even common ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which is supposed to hydrate the skin, have irritated and dried out my skin really badly. Also, I’ve tried cream blushes before, but the one I tried would cause me to break out on the areas where I applied it. Maybe the blush you recommend might be better though. Lastly, I have light features like you do, so I’m looking for brands that offer eye pencils & mascara in shades of brown.

[@StefanieMorgan-b3r]

Alima Pure has a nice mineral foundation with only 5 ingredients. They're having a Black Friday deal, but if you just want to try out a little, they also have tinier sample sizes. I'm acne prone so I use a pore clogging ingredient checker for everything I put on my face. Lots of blushes contain comedogenic ingredients. I know Alima Pure, Rare Beauty and Wet n Wild powder blush in Naked Brown are all free of comedogenic ingredients. Hope that helps ❤️

[@Raevany]

Such a great video. I watched this multiple times. Thank you.

[@gingertunstall7739]

I always question how much benefit you actually get from "skincare" in makeup when you apply it on top of your skincare and sunscreen.

[@alfredmeneses5496]

Same. Especially when ingredients that are overused in skincare products like Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid are being put into make up products like primers, setting sprays, foundation, and concealer.

[@zarapttazaraptta462]

None.

[@DrSamEllis]

I would not prioritize makeup as “skincare.” It can be a nice complement to your routine but your skincare routine is absolutely doing the heavy lifting. But, for example, the iron oxides in foundations can protect against blue light, which is a trigger for some forms of hyperpigmentation.

[@Alfakkin]

I completely agree with you.

[@linnicalv]

This. I would rather have good skincare and good makeup than an ineffective combo of both. It seems gimmicky.

[@aquariusashley94]

You have beautiful skin Dr. Sam.

[@Barbara-920]

Thank you for the tips and you are absolutely gorgeous without a drop of makeup.

[@nancymccormick7567]

The Ciele skin tint is wonderful too!!

[@cat99manchor32]

Thank you so much for sharing which brands of makeup you use; it will save me a lot of money.

[@KeyTyan]

Thanks so much for sharing your make up routine! Absolutely gorg!!!😍 I’ve been using chantecalle tinted moisturizer for a good half a year now, it’s won my heart!! Also heard good things about ciele foundation, and ciele brand in general! Their blush looks amazing!🤩🤩👍

[@nikitawerner960]

Seconding the ciele blush! The skin tint is incredible as well and so far I've liked the concealer, but I think they need to expand the shade range.

[@FrancneQuan]

Hi Dr. Ellis. Great video. Love the products mentioned - so skin healthy! Will be purchasing a few of the items. Thank you for posting this information.

[@jury2323]

Hot tip re: the mascara -- if you turn the brush sideways, after applying, it works as a lash separator.

[@michy2630]

So stunning Dr Sam. Youre gorgeous without makeup. I wear mascara and gloss daily, no makeup but I do like wearing makeup once a week. These products look amazing and I want to get them but they seem expensive for the amount of makeup I wear. Do you all think I should just spluge? How long does makeup last? Thank you

[@nataliesutherland5584]

I've heard great things about tower 28 especially the concealer

[@heathersargent289]

That Gee beauty tint is intriguing looks beautiful on you. I have never even heard of it but it has sof in it so ill have to check the ingredients list im allergic to US chem filters so i have to be careful. I got the Tom Ford shade and illuminate foundation spent a fortune on it and its beautiful but it literally destroyed my skin bumps breakiut hives and redness everywhere on my face, i didn't realize it had sof ingredients in it so i got an allergic reaction and wasted like 150$

[@CCAnne]

It cosmetics changed the formulas 😭 I was using their cc creams for 12 years an started using all their powders and blushes etc. Then last year I realized something is just off, I couldn’t figure it out. Then I found out from the makeup artist they changed to a cheaper chemical mineral spf and that is what seems to be an issue for some of us with oily combo type skin. It now settled into my pores and creases, and gets on my clothing so easily, never ever before did this happen. I can’t even believe it honestly it was amazing I don’t understand why they changed it and really I can’t understand why all the influencers don’t help get this fixed, because in all honesty I can’t find anything like it 😖 so many others I spoke to on a facebook post are experiencing the same, an tons of makeup artists no longer using it. Its fine for many people but the chunk of us that have combo oily skin it’s no where near whet that OG formula was 😭 but if they don’t see enough people talking about it, they won’t go back and fix this. It’s all about supply and demand which truly stinks I can’t find anything like it.

[@Niloufarsaber]

[@mandd4963]

So many products I have never seen before but I am now going to check out…especially that blusher ❤

[@cindysmallwood2695]

Could you be any more gorgeous?? No makeup and yet so naturally beautiful. Funny, as I'm watching you a big Prequel box landed on my doorstep. Ahhhh. It's my second order and I now have a lot of your line. Immediately tried the quench, and the body lotion. You're really on to something here. Hoping to reorder a few with a BF special, but big kudos to you for keeping the prices affordable. I don't feel bad ordering even at full price. Question, you once mentioned you should never combine SPF's (an error I was making with tinted and non tinted), because you said it might not play well. Do you feel the same when you apply make up with SPF over your sunscreen?? Keep on producing these amazing vids. I bought the Hourglass powder (a splurge) on your rec and love it.

I'm 46 years old with dehydrated, mature skin (hyperpigmentation, fine lines, etc.) and I cannot recommend using Chanel Water Fresh Tint over tinted SPF. It blurs everything. I also enjoy the Dior Capture Dreamskin cushion compact.

I am obsessed by the make up by Mario SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer in light medium or medium. I use the gorgeous Fenty Beauty Cheek hugging Bronzer Brush (brush 190) to apply it, as well as the Makeup by Mario Soft Pop Plumping Cream blush veil. These are stunning products that makes my face warm and luminous.

[@chariots8x230]

7:52 Thank you for disclosing that this concealer has hyaluronic acid in it. I will personally avoid it, because anything with hyaluronic acid dries out my skin and creates fine lines. I’ve had some horrific experiences with hyaluronic acid, so I’ll avoid any skincare & makeup that contains it in the ingredients list.

[@SusanJ-jt5ny]

I too avoid hyaluronic acid in products (dry climate, dry skin). However, I find that the Tower 28 is hydrating and isn’t drying. It’s one of the few concealers I like using. I know everyone’s skin is different but thought I’d give the perspective from someone who also has had bad results from products with HA

[@antirrhinum130]

Lovely! I feel that I have to wear eye makeup because I have very sparse to nonexistent lashes. I also heard that it's better to wear tinted sun block for people with melasma so I use that and then a light foundation where needed.

[@crucitasquillace5072]

Beautiful natural look. Wish I had your skin so flawless. ❤

[@kavithakasturi4898]

Excellent video! Would you also do this with your favorite hair care products and tools?!

[@ferrulebeauty]

Since I have dry skin I’m always tempted to use a chemical sunscreen (I feel like there’s more dewy options than mineral offers) but my dermatologist told me that mineral sunscreen lasts longer on your skin than chemical does so I always go with mineral :/

[@beckyc.5743]

Love ISDIN Eryfotona Ageless sunscreen as a moisturizer/primer/sunscreen to start my routine.

[@emilybusybeee]

I use two products (with spf and skincare benefits) in very thin layers to brighten & protect my eye area. supergoop bright Eyed goes all around in a thin layer. Then DRMTLGY eye corrector only where i need to cancel out shadows. doesn't feel like makeup but my eyes look great!

[@chariots8x230]

What do you think of using Mineral Powder Sunscreen as a way to reapply sunscreen over makeup? Are there any good sunscreen reapplication products to use over makeup?

[@amyfrancis9423]

Hi Dr. Ellis, great video! Not sure if I missed it but I didn't see you apply eyeshadow. Not a fan of eyeshadow? Just curious.

In terms of makeup, the most important thing is that it makes the person doing it for themselves feel great, and it obviously did in this case! Looked amazing and I could tell Dr. Ellis was feeling herself. That's the best 💖

[@dahliagirl1]

Yes I wonder about this too. I’ve heard from beauty chemists that the seal that a sunscreen creates can be disrupted if you layer another sunscreen on top of it. I’ve been avoiding foundations with SPF because of this. Thoughts?
