The Power of Feeling Beautiful: Makeup Artist Allison Elliott on Confidence and Self-Worth

What if beauty wasn't about perfection—but about confidence?

In this uplifting episode of Ask Dr. Louise, Dr. Louise sits down with celebrity and bridal makeup artist Allison Elliott for a heartfelt conversation about beauty, confidence, entrepreneurship, and discovering your true worth. While Allison has spent decades helping brides, celebrities, and women of all ages look their best, her greatest passion isn't makeup—it's helping people feel beautiful from the inside out.

Allison shares her inspiring journey from earning a business degree at her father's encouragement to leaving corporate America, moving to New York City, and building a successful career in the beauty industry. From working at Sephora and learning under legendary makeup artist Laura Geller to New York Fashion Week, celebrity clients, and now owning a luxury bridal beauty agency, Allison's story is one of courage, creativity, and following your calling.

Together, Dr. Louise and Allison explore why confidence begins long before the makeup brush, how positive self-talk changes the way we see ourselves, and why every woman deserves to feel radiant—whether it's on her wedding day or an ordinary Tuesday.
