I am incredibly into make-up. I'm sure just that will be featured as my happiness pill in the next couple of days. But for now, it's the You Tube gurus. There is such a huge number of beauty bloggers (check out my what I'm reading on the side bar) out there who feature various products and stuff. In the same light, there's such a wide set of options for make-up tutorials online. I love watching them. I've gotten into a routine where i check every morning if any of these gurus have new videos.
My favorites (not that it really matters to any of them, but still, they make me happy.):
1) Pixiwoo: I think I discovered them just a few days ago. But they are absolutely brilliant. They seem rather fond of smokey eyes and high fashion looks but their execution in brilliant! I love how they have done an entire series of classic looks. They are make-up artists by profession and they are also professionally trained. But wow. Plus, they are fun to watch. Sam seems a little more feisty and Nic is just really funny! Haha.
2) Beauty Broadcast: What I particularly love about this guru is the fact that she makes make-up accessible. A lot of the gurus online use very, very expensive brands (MAC, Illamasqua, YSL, Estee Lauder, etc.). Of course almost all of them do special videos for "purely drugstore make-up" looks, but then Emily provides such a wide array of options that are affordable to get the very same look--from the base to the cheeks, to the shadow, liner, and lips. Full-on affordable products. She puts real meaning in affordable beauty.
3) Kandee Johnson: Her costume looks are fantastic! I don't think anyone's Halloween looks were as brilliant as hers. She is also a professional make-up artist. Apart from her skills though, I love that that she brings such positive vibes. She's very cheery and happy that when you watch her videos, you can't help but feel happy too. This girl is truly, truly inspirational. You actually get a feeling that she is, more than just teaching you make up, trying to reach out to you in a very personal way.
I do hope you check them out if you haven't yet.
