For make-up based on flawless skin… check out Michelle Phan. This Asian beauty with the soothing voice puts a strong emphasis on skincare. Her videos always begin with cleansing, priming, powdering, concealing, and other tactics to create a clean canvas of a face that’s perfect for whatever make-up follows, whether it be a Paris-inspired au natural look or an intense Lady Gaga googly eyes transformation.
For variety… Lauren Luke is a must-see. As one of the most well-known beauty vloggers, this no-nonsense single mom from England tackles every look imaginable, from bridal and prom looks to Tim Burton Chesire Cat eyes and Ke$ha’s “Dirty Picture” look. Luke’s success has spawned a cosmetics line called By Lauren Luke as well as a voice in a more traditional media outlet: a weekly beauty column in the UK newspaper The Guardian.
For achieving an exact celebrity look… Jessica Harlow is your girl. Using her own versatile looks as a canvas, Harlow walks viewers through the iconic make-up of beauties like Megan Fox, Kim Kardashian, Carmen Electra, Dita Von Teese, and even Barbie (that’s right, the doll). The videos are short and sweet, and the make-up always comes out looking nothing less than perfect.
For a full lifestyle treatment… head on over to Dulce Candy. This California sweetie delivers not only make-up tutorials but also haul videos and fashion tips with a signature bubbly personality and warm demeanor.
