I love YouTube. I can shamelessly say that I’m subscribed to over 50 channels. The majority of them include beauty, fashion, hair and vlog channels. YouTube has become my new favorite way of passing time (in addition to Netflix, of course). With millions of videos, it can be extremely difficult to sort through the clips of kittens in shopping bags and people falling off skateboards to find something that’s actually useful. But there’s a whole group of people on this video-sharing website whose sole mission is to help you master your beauty routine. This includes figuring out how to create the perfect smoky eye or learning how to correctly style the undone topknot. Whether you’re a makeup expert or a total beginner, these 5 beauty gurus will make your life much easier.
