Want a crash course in makeup? Each of the bloggers/youtube personalities make a living
from helping people learn techniques that you would normally have to attend school to learn. We are so lucky to live in an
age where we can learn infinitely from the comfort of our own living room. In the beauty community, these are some of the people you need to know. They have each taught me so much about make, beauty, and life; and I’m
excited to introduce you. I've linked this post like crazy, so go hog wild!
Kandee is THE makeup titan. She is the end-all
be-all of the youtube/beauty guru/blogger community. Celebrity make-up artist
Kandee Johnson’s appeal goes much deeper than her amazing celebrity makeup tips
and tutorials – she also writes about life lessons, and even took her followers
through the process of grieving her late father. Kandee embodies everything a
role model should be, and can cheer the sourest of moods. Aside from Kandee’s
exceptional attitude, she’s got beastly talent. Her costume tutorials will have
you doing double takes while she transforms herself into your favorite Hollywood
characters in 10 minutes or less. If you
enjoy beauty, makeup, costumes, and people who have a light shining from
within, check out Kandee’s youtube channels and blog (she posts every day!). Join
me in my Kandee addiction!
Goss translates his professional makeup experience into understandable
and thoughtful short videos that make learning a piece of cake. He often
features his own friends, who are not professional models, as his clients. Goss’s
stays frank and honest with his viewers – he will tell you the pros and cons to
a product or technique and you never have to worry that he’s being paid for his
comments. I’ve learned so many techniques from him that have transformed my
everyday makeup routine; my most favorite being his brush techniques for a
flawless face. Goss regularly taps into celebrity pop culture – he often
features top celebrities as a teaching subject for new skills and techniques.
Check out Goss’s youtube channel for light-hearted yet informative videos that
make you feel like you’re chatting with your bff. 
No matter HOW BAD of a day I’m having, I can always count on Jermaine’s
videos to make me laugh and remind me life should be fun. When work, family,
finances, car problems, student loans, difficult people, low on gas, blah blah
BLAH add up and make you want to crawl into bed and never come out – watch some
JLOVESMAC1 and she will have you smiling ear to ear, maybe even lol-ing a bit,
in no time. She’s a prime example of how to make your own happiness by diving
into your passion. She also has the most adorable dogs that make frequent
appearances.
I’ve been following SMLXO since before she became a big youtube
sensation. She’s a gorgeous girl who seems very down to earth and represents the
girls who love learning and developing makeup skills. She is going through the
same learning process that many makeup lovers go through. Go through her videos
and you can watch her blossom from the amateur we all were at one point to
someone who has developed a great skillset. Check her out on her youtube
channel here.
