As I’m sure anyone who has tried to switch up their beauty routine knows, it can be hard to find that creative juice first thing in the morning. Lucky for us, that’s why beauty bloggers exist! Below are some of the ones that stand out to me on Instagram (cause who has time to watch a YouTube tutorial right?).
For people of color who are looking for tutorials that won’t just remind you that skin color makes a difference when choosing a color palette, here are three I found that stood out:
@themadecutie is a makeup artist who focuses on people of color.

@Glam_by_Gigi is run by Gigi Madrigal who is a Latina beauty influencer with over 15,000 followers, so she must know something about makeup!
