Have you ever asked the following questions above to yourself? Apparently, you are not alone. Thousands of girls and.. women (if you are 18 and above, admit it already) doesn’t know how to apply their make-up on, do their hair, and many more stuff that they should have learned as they went through puberty. Luckily, if you’re one of them, the answer is just one click away. It’s YouTube (YT). What? For some of you, YT is just a video uploading site used by morons to show off stunt videos showing how they survived from killing their selves, or those people who sing, dance and do other stuff just to gain instant fame. Well, that’s true but YT is also a very good source of information, both useful and non-useful. A lot of intelligent people from different fields have their own channels on YT to share their knowledge by doing tutorial videos on how to do things. Since trying to be pretty is my concern, here are my most trusted gurus I follow on YT which I found very helpful.
Michelle Phan(www.youtube.com/michellephan)
From great make-up tips to trimming your waist, Michelle will never run out of problems she would try to give ideas. This bubbly Vietnamese started doing only make-up tutorials. The first video of her that I saw is the Seductive Vampire look and that very same night I’m looking for brown eye shadows. I was really amazed so I subscribed to her channel right away.She also does tutorials on how to look like celebrities. When I say looking like celebrities, it’s legit. Some of the looks she did are the looks of Angelina Jolie, Cara Delevigne and Miranda Kerr. She also do make up tutorials inspired by animes, cartoons, movie characters, robots, Egyptians, unicorns, Barbie, Barbie zombie and many more. She also does tutorials of DIY nail arts, transforming scarfs to dresses, applying fake tan, outfit suggestions, how to reduce bloatingand even how to draw. Also, she helps her viewers deal with various life problems by making videos that centers on women empowerment, moving on, and many more. Because of Michelle’s great talent and hard work, she was blessed with her own cosmetic line called Em which is really doing great both in the local and international market. I’m really rooting for her and I hope that she won’t stop doing tutorials and continue helping and inspiring young girls and women all over the world.
Sam and Nick (www.youtube.com/pixiwoo)
Sam and Nick are sisters. Both of them do great make-up tutorials. At first, the only one who does tutorials on YT is Sam but eventually her sister Nick did tutorials too on the same channel under the name Pixi Woo. I love the vibe of these sisters when they are doing their individual make-up tutorials. Even though the looks that they do are quite intricate and very detailed, it won’t intimidate you to finish watching it because they are both cool with their strong but sweet British accents. Most of the make-up looks they do are quite draggy and strong but I think that they are wearable. For women who want to step up their look, the looks they came up with are good to do. My favorite looks that they have done are; Perrie Little Mix Makeup Tutorial, My Wedding Day Makeup Tutorial, Kristen Stewart Make-Up Tutorial, Rihanna M.A.C Makeup Tutorial, Blue-Green Smokey Eye Makeup Tutoria, Bond Girl 'Domino' Make up Tutorial, and the Prom Makeup Victoria's Secret Style.
Kandee Johnson (www.youtube.com/kandeejohnson)
Kandee Johnson is the first make-up guru I found in YT. I was searching tutorials on how to make your eyes look bigger and her name showed up. I opened her video and my problem is answered. I was blown away on how she did it. After that I subscribed to her channel and kept anticipating for her next videos. Also, she is good on doing make-ups of movie characters, personalities, cartoons, and many more. The funny thing with her videos is that it’s quite theatrical in a way because she often sings and does monologues by the end of her videos which make her videos longer than it should be but either way; she’s really a good make-up artist.
Promise Phan(www.youtube.com/dope11)
Promise Phan is the sister-in-law of Michelle Phan. Her best videos would be those complete transformations of herself into some celebrities, movie and cartoon characters, and riciculous personalities.
Lisa Eldridge (www.youtube.com/lisaeldridge)
Lisa Eldridge is a professional make-up artist that does make-up tutorials mostly for professional photo shoots and runways. She doesn’t do character transformations but rather glam make-up looks. I think that the people who will be her subscribers are also professional make-up artists that want to be better in their profession. In some of her videos, she does the look on professional models but sometimes she does the tutorial on herself.
Jen (www.youtube.com/frmheadtotoe)
Is you’re problem on applying you’re make-up is your eyes that is monolid? If your answer is yes, Jen is the right make-up guru for you. Why? Because she’s also a monolid. Jen is an Asian and it’s common for most of the Asian girls to be monolids which makes it hard in making the eye shadow visible because our eyelids’ folds are deep. She also does K-POP inspired looks because she is a fan of 2NE1.
NatyMidnight (www.youtube.com/natymidnight)
This girl is one of my favorite to watch among the gurus because she is inappropriately hilarious. Among all the people I got to see on YT, she is the only female I laugh on. This is NatyMidnight, I don’t know her real name. She usually does reactions, DIY’s, and commentaries, outfit suggestionsbut few make-up tutorials. Also I like the fact that she looks like a Filipino. Anyway, the first video of her that I saw is the video on how to make your underarms lighter. At first I was quite uncomfortable watching the video but when her nasty sense of humor came out, I really enjoyed watching her. It seems like I’m watching something variety show when the truth is I’m learning. Also I love her video about her experience on her nose piercing. I was really interested in getting my nose pierced but I’m scared of the process but after I watched her video, I felt relieved. Her sense of humor which timely goes out really helps her videos more effective.
Mindy (www.youtube.com/cutegirlshairstyles)
Mindy doesn’t do make-up tutorials but rather hairstyle tutorials. In her videos, she demonstrates intricate hairstyles on her daughters’ hairs. Once you see her masterpieces, all you can ask is “How did she do that?” I did one of her hairstyles and my classmates were stunned by it, seriously.
Who needs to go to salons when you have YouTube? I hope my favorite gurus could help you too. Have a nice day my dear readers! Adios!
