The Top 5 YouTube Beauty Gurus to Watch in 2015

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at American chapter.
 
If you’ve ever surfed the internet for a makeup or hair tutorial, then you’ve probably stumbled upon YouTube at some point or another. YouTube is a great resource to use if you’re confused about how to apply a specific eyeshadow, or in need of some serious advice on what type of foundation works best for you. Below are some of the best YouTube beauty “gurus,” that are excellent resources

 

1. Lisa Eldridge

Hailing from the UK, Eldridge is no amateur when it comes to makeup. She is a professional makeup artist. Unlike other gurus on YouTube, Eldridge literally knows every trick in the book and she really knows how to cater to every client’s needs. Another refreshing aspect to Eldridge’s channel is that she often hosts guests, and applies makeup on them as well. By doing this, the viewer gets to see various tricks for different skin types and face shapes. Finally, if all else fails, simply listen to her voice. It is so calming it’ll lower your blood pressure — I swear. 

 

2. Lauren Curtis

Miss. Curtis comes from the sunny Perth, Australia and she, too, has a professional background in makeup with Benefit Cosmetics. Her channel is always filled with great makeup tips and her bubbly personality makes you want to watch her videos for hours. I have honestly learned so many fantastic tips and heard about incredible products because of her. Her videos are also always perfectly edited. Unlike other YouTubers out there, Miss. Curtis sticks with mostly makeup tutorials. Be sure to watch Lauren Curtis for good old fashion makeup tutorials where one video is equivalent to a makeup class! 

 

3. Monica Church

Church, at only nineteen years old, has over 500,000 subscribers already! She had been going to film school until she decided to recently drop out to focus on her expanding YouTube channel. Church, unlike Curtis and Eldridge, does more overall lifestyle videos – while still posting makeup tutorials. Personally, my favorite videos are her styling videos. This chick has an incredible fashion sense, so I love getting inspiration from her. She also has a very infectious attitude that makes you all jumpy and hyper. And if you don’t like the content of her videos — you cannot deny the amazing editing skills this 19 year old has.

 

4. Gigi

O-M-G honey! Gigi will become your new best friend (can I say obsession?). She has sass and a fine style to add. Take a look and you will see that she is absolutely gorgeous. Besides making makeup tutorials (which are always on point and glamorous), Gigi also shares hilarious stories. She has the looks and personality to hold a crowds’ attention. And as Gigi always says, “Stay gorgeous, bye.”

 

5. Cambria Joy

Quite the opposite of Gigi, is Cambria Joy! If Gigi is a fierce princess then Cambria is a life loving ray of sunshine! If you are ever feeling down about yourself or life, just watch one of Cambria’s videos and you’ll be smiling in no time. Cambria’s videos will make you feel beautiful on the inside. She strives for a healthy life and does so by putting good things in her body and putting her body to use and urges that her viewers do the same. She also emphasizes having a healthy mind, which is extremely refreshing. Her videos will make you eager to keep on watching her ‘oh so happy life loving’ content.
