My Favorite Anti-Aging Makeup - Your Skin But 20 Years Younger | Dr. Sam Ellis
Prequel$21- “My absolute go-to moisturizer, holy grail for makeup prep is my Prequel Skin Half and Half Fluid Moisturizer”▶ 3:39
- “This is like if a midweight moisturizer and a milky toner had a love child. It is just such a beautiful cushiony liquidy texture”▶ 3:50
- “I love using this because it keeps the under eyes hydrated but allows your concealer to still set in place”▶ 4:20
Ciele$38.00
Haruharu Wonder$22.00- “It has a very moisturized but skin-like finish, so there's no dewiness here, and makeup just sits so beautifully on top of it”▶ 6:06
Prequel$22.49- “If you have drier skin or you find that your skin starts to look cakey under makeup like halfway through the day, you definitely want to be using something that's a little bit more hydrating or moisturizing. And that's where the Solar Shade from Prequel is particularly great”▶ 6:16
- “For my dry skinned beauties, you will love this under makeup”▶ 6:29
Ciele$44.00tint & PROTECT Serum Foundation with SPF 50+shade · Shades 3 and 4- “This is incredible. I know I've talked about it so many times, but it is that good”▶ 8:32
- “I have had so many patients who are in their 50s, 60s, 70s come in and bring this in and be like, 'Thank you for teaching me about this foundation. I have never liked the way foundation looked on my skin as a more mature adult until I tried this.'”▶ 8:47
- “It's quite a liquidy texture. So, it's very spreadable and it doesn't clump up on the skin. So, it almost just feels like a liquidy moisturizer when you're applying it, but it has really solid coverage, so it doesn't get streaky when you apply it”▶ 9:08
- “The coverage is incredible. I can still see my skin through it, but I just love the way it sits on skin”▶ 9:40
- “If you don't powder this down, the finish on it is slightly glowy. I would call it more like radiant”▶ 9:47
- “I do use two shades in this and I mix them according to basically how tan or pale I am”▶ 10:08
Maybelline$13.99- “This has basically replaced my Dior foundation because it is equally as beautiful and it doesn't have fragrance which just gives it like an extra point for me”▶ 10:55
- “Through trial and error, I have found for me this applies best with a brush and I will generally buff it starting in the center of my face working towards the periphery and really work it into the skin”▶ 11:06
Sarah Creal$58.00Face Flex Concealer & Complexion Enhancer with Caffeineshade · Shade 3- “There is no concealer in the world that is going to completely prevent your under eyes from creasing, but this is as close as I've gotten”▶ 14:20
- “This is so so fantastic. I've recommended it a couple of times on my Instagram and then I was immediately flooded with DMs being like, 'Oh my gosh, I had not been able to find a concealer that I liked after I turned 35 and this is it.'”▶ 14:38
- “I will never be without it. I have repurchased it. I have it in every makeup bag because it is just such a go-to now”▶ 14:52
- “I mainly use it in shade three, which is basically like an exact complexion match for me most of the time”▶ 14:58
- “There are also days where I don't want to put on any type of foundation, but I want a little bit of coverage. So, I will do all of my normal skin care, skin prep. And then I will just swipe this not only under my eyes, but a little bit on my forehead, my cheeks, my chin”▶ 15:06
- “It just helps make my complexion look more flawless without having any type of heavy layer”▶ 15:25
- “It caters to women over 40. It is makeup designed with mature skin in mind. So, it makes sense that they would make a concealer with all the properties that this has of being so stretchy and so flexible and just really moving with your face and respecting the texture that's there”▶ 15:36
