best of beauty vlogs part 1

I used to look to my favorite magazine for lessons in make-up applications but now that most celebrity makeup artist have posted their how-to’s on the web, I turn to YouTube instead and search whatever make-up look I’m trying to master.  From everyday, ‘no make-up’ make-up, to high-drama editorial make-up, learning how to recreate any look you want is so much easier when you’re able to watch every little detail of the transformation instead of  reading a summary of each step.  I never realized how much blending was really involved in a dramatic smokey eye- or how many brushes and types of brushes you really need to achieve a certain look.  All those little details are nonexistent in magazine write-ups which left most looks I wanted to recreate falling flat.  I’ve become a huge fan and YouTube subscriber to several different make-up artists (some professional- some just lovers of make-up) and I’d like to spotlight each of them separately since they are all so different and fun to watch.  I stumbled across each of them while searching for a specific how-to look and found myself drawn in to their large collection of videos which cover topics beyond make-up such as product reviews, personal favorites, tips, tricks and skin care.
