A Dose of Ella Rose, Founder of Skin by Ella Rose

Introducing this season's "A Dose of...", where we feature beauty enthusiasts on how they seek pleasure and build their own pleasure ritual. For this season on "A Dose of..." we're featuring Ella Rose, founder of Skin by Ella Rose.

Ella Rose McFadin doesn’t believe that beauty should be measured by the amount of cosmetic products or the time it takes to apply them, and neither should you. After attempting heavy make-up trends and never feeling like herself, she discovered the effortless make-up routine that would eventually shape her confidence and her vision.

By embracing simplicity and her skin’s natural state, Ella found a way to use make-up as a tool to enhance the radiance within herself and within every individual. Today, Skin by Ella Rose is a clean beauty collective of her tried-and-true essentials and a community who believes that less is always more.

It’s a pleasure to introduce you to lifestyle influencer + clean beauty brand founder, Ella Rose. She gives us some insight on why she started Skin by Ella, an inside scoop on the recent launch and all things pleasure, rituals and self-care.

How do you seek pleasure for yourself?
I live for a sauna session to clear my head and sweat. I always leave feeling ready to tackle my to-do list and the rest of the day. I also love a long cuddle with my dog, Crispy, on the couch. Balance!

What is your cocktail of the moment?
I am actually loving a cucumber gimlet style mocktail at the moment. I think it works as a great cocktail replacement on nights you are channeling your inner wellness girlie and avoiding a hangover.

What is your daily skincare + beauty routine?
keep my skincare pretty simple. I wash my face AM & PM and use Clearstem Skincare! It has no pore clogging ingredients and doesn’t irritate my perioral dermatitis. I also love my Therabody LED mask whenever I have the time.

For daily makeup - my go to is also simple. Concealer, brow gel, bronzer, blush, lip oil and curling my lashes. Clean beauty is big for me, so brand’s like my own, Skin by Ella, and Saie are my favorites, but I do love trying new products and playing around with makeup.

What is your definition of self-care?
As an influencer and business owner, my day to day schedule is always different. Some days are glued to my computer on emails and calls, other days are spent at events, running errands or Alo gym sessions. I try to move my body as much as I can during the week as it always makes me feel better and more energized. I also love being a home body so I think that + a good night’s sleep every night is the true (& simple) definition of self-care for me personally.

well-being. So, to me, self-care is putting first the tasks in your life that are necessary to feel your best whether that’s meal prepping, reading, going to bed early, time with family, etc.

What are you looking forward to/most excited about with Majesty’s Pleasure coming to New York?
A place to spend a full day (& head to toe) of self care! Cannot wait for a girl’s day here.

What is your proudest moment of building Skin by Ella Rose?

I don’t want to speak too soon. But I think it will happen towards the end of summer 2024! Building a brand isn’t easy (especially in clean beauty), but I really wanted to create products that are an extension of me and that I personally use day in and day out. I am so excited to get the new line in everyone’s hands.

What was the gap you found in the beauty industry and why you founded the brand Skin by Ella Rose?

The main inspiration for the brand was that I was feeling intimidated by makeup. I watched girls online, and some friends, do their makeup routine and try new makeup looks and I never felt connected to it in that way or talented enough to participate. However, I did always love a simple routine and felt more confident wearing makeup that enhanced my features rather than ‘covering up’. Our products are simple, clean and help people feel confident in their day to day makeup routine without feeling overwhelmed by all the products on the market.

What are your favourite products from Skin by Ella Rose?

Right now I am currently loving our eyebrow gel (I use it every single day) and our headbands. They are the best accessory and look so cute in the summer.

What are your go-to places in New York?

Butler Coffee Shop (mainly for their pastries & dog treats)

Coat of Arms (for the best strawberry matcha of all time)

With Others (for a wine and snack)

Four Horsemen for dinner

Corepower Yoga Sculpt to tone and sweat

Akari for wellness activities (sauna & cold plunge)

What advice would you give to your younger self?

Slow down, time is everything. good things take time, healing takes time.
