my secret obsession for awhile has been watching beauty gurus. It’s been an obsession because I am still unable to find someone with my eye color, skin type, hair color/ hair type. So I got to take things from different gurus and some gurus are just awesome ! I will explain why I like each guru that I watch and what I don’t like about them. They are not in any particular order:

1. Kandee Johnson -She seriously has to be the sweetest person on all of youtube. She’s so inspiring, beautiful, and creative. It’s really hard to not like her. Plus, she’s entertaining! What more could a person ask for ? Her blog is equally amazing as she is.

2. Xsparkage aka Leesha – the procrastinator of the gurus. She’s creative and knows her stuff … she just doesn’t seem into it anymore, like she used to be. I’ve been getting irritated by her lately b/c most of her recent looks have been a form of purple smoky eye. It’s been repetitive, and I’m not a purple fan, but her earlier stuff is awesome. I want that Leesha back !!

3. bubzbeauty – Possibly the cutest asian ever !! She is so sweet, nice, giving, talented, and wonderful. She’s defiantly one to keep eyes on due to her youtube success and she has her own fashion line, which is gorgeous.

4. Michelle Phan – the other talented asian girl on youtube. Michelle is an art student going to school in Tampa, FL. She has amazing advice and tutorials. She takes that extra step to make the videos compelling even for non-makeup people. Just watch the intro to the Tim Burton inspired Goth Look and you’ll see what I mean.

5. Blair and Elle Fowler – two sisters that have their own separate channels. They’re both rich, co-owners of  their own company, and has been in a fashion show at New York’s fashion week. It’s hard to tell if these girls are genuine or not, but i like to think they are. There’s speculation about whether or not they changed their names for youtube, but honestly… thats a smart thing to do and if they did, more power to them !

6. TalkinMakeup – a professional makeup artist that has been behind the MAC counter, the Clinique counter, and most of the other counters in department stores as well. She has a lot of great tips and advice. Her reviews are awesome!

7. vintageortacky – she loves color !! I mean the uber bright neon colors that normal people would be afraid of. She’s honest and quirky, especially on her reviews. She isn’t afraid to say how she feels and I like her for that. She’s very dramatic with the makeup, which rocks !!

8. MissChievous – She’s talented and pretty, and here to stay. Because of her success on yt, she is the spokesperson for Lancome Germany (yes, she speaks German and English). Her view of makeup is somewhat out of the box compared to the U.S gurus, which I like.

**************** The following are beauty gurus that I watch due to liking their style, their skills, or I’m just subscribed b/c of contests and giveaways:

CityAndMakeup, MissVanityVixen, pixiwoo, MakeupbyTiffanyD, Brittkneegirl1, QueenBeeuty, Sayanythingbr00ke, and whatstyleistonickel.
