I have always been a beauty lover as far back as I can remember. The very first time I really wore makeup, I didn’t know you had to blend your foundation down your neck as well. Foundation line anyone? Last week, when I did my Q&A post I got the question, “How did you/do you learn so much about hair and makeup?”. When I answered the question, I mentioned something about YouTube Beauty Gurus. What are YouTube Beauty Gurus? They are Beauty Vloggers rather than Bloggers, but some do a bit of blogging as well. They film makeup tutorials, show their monthly favorites, give tips & tricks, and post their videos on YouTube. Some of them are professional makeup artists, while others are just babes like me that are beauty addicts and want to share their passion with the world via YouTube. Before I began watching these Gurus/Vloggers, I almost always wore my makeup the same way everyday. Same eyeshadows, same gold lipstick. There isn’t anything wrong with wearing the same products everyday, but as someone who loves makeup, it opened up a whole new world for me.
I just want to give you a quick run down of my favorites. These are my top 3 who I am always following and patiently awaiting their next uploads!
Nicole Guerriero is my ride or die, my homegirl, & my first true love on YouTube. Her videos were the first beauty videos I ever watched on YouTube. I have been watching and learning from her from the beginning. She keeps it real – you can tell that who she is on camera is who she would be if you met her around town. She does everything from everyday makeup looks to full on Halloween glam! She uses both drug store and high end products, which I love! She is just my all time favorite, I am constantly watching for her to upload the next amazing video.
Jaclyn Hill is my runner up. She is amazing at what she does. She is a former freelancer and MAC MA! I found her channel about two years ago when I was searching YouTube for more information about MAC products. She is my go to for eye makeup know-how. My blending has come to a whole new level after watching her. Blend until your arm falls off! Yaaaasss.
Manny Mua is the newest addition to my little YouTube family. He, yes he, is so hilarious! I love that at the beginning of every video he states, “If you don’t like me, if you don’t like this video, don’t fucking watch it.” Preach Honey, preach. Some people can be so rude over the web and I am glad he always states that he doesn’t let those people get to him. Like Jaclyn, he was once a MAC MA and also worked at Sephora…jealous much? I am. So, obviously he knows his brands. And honestly, I love that he is a guy and does makeup better than me!
So, there they are, my Top 3 YouTube Beauty Gurus! Make sure to head over to their channels, check them out, and let me know what you think.
