1. MakeupByTiffanyD (Tiffany Denny)
Tiffany got her start on YouTube back in 2008, and I discovered her not long after that. I have been watching her longer than any of the other gurus I am subscribed to. She has a variety of different videos, including makeup tutorials, hair tutorials, home decor, favorite beauty products of the month, etc. I believe Tiffany made it big on YouTube with the success of her eye makeup tutorials, and she has since gone on to be one of the most successful YouTube Beauty Gurus with over 700,000 subscribers. She is so engaging, and makes you feel like she's in the room speaking to you. I can relate a lot to Tiffany, and could see being friends with someone like her. These, and many other reasons, are why she is my favorite YouTube Beauty Guru.
Dulce also got her start on YouTube in 2008. I have been watching her for 2-3 years, and have found her videos to be very creative and very well made. She is such a positive young lady. You can tell she is truly devoted to what she does, and is always so openly appreciative to her subscribers. She came from very humble beginning, but has come a very long way. She is also one of the most successful YouTube Beauty Gurus with over 1 million subscribers. Her videos cover a variety of topics, such as makeup tutorials, hair tutorials, nail tutorials, favorite products of the month, and even a bit of her personal life with her husband and son.
3. MissGlamorazzi (Ingrid Nilsen)
Ingrid got her start on YouTube in 2009. With nearly 2 million subscribers, she has become what I like to call the "America's Sweetheart" of YouTube Beauty Gurus. This girl is so bubbly, it's crazy. But she's not bubbly enough to make you crazy. She is such a sweet and engaging girl who definitely knows what she's doing. Her videos are so fun to watch, and are very well made. She covers everything from makeup, to hair, to her signature "GIY" (Glam It Yourself) projects. I have only been watching her for a few months, but I became a subscriber after the first video I saw. I promise, this girl will reel you right in.
4. MMandL Show (Michelle Money & Laura Armstrong)
Michelle and Laura got their start on YouTube in 2011 when they decided to start showing how Michelle styled her hair. They have since gone onto being one of the funniest duos to watch on YouTube. These ladies are THE best of friends, and it shows. They aren't worried about making perfectly professional beauty videos, they just love to have fun with what they do. Their goofiness and humorous energy is sure to make you smile. And the best part is, you always learn something from their videos. They cover everything from hair tutorials, makeup tutorials, product reviews, fashion, and even advice on life. You may recognize Michelle from season 15 of ABC's The Bachelor and season 2
of Bachelor Pad.
5. Luxy Hair (Mimi & Leyla)
Mimi and Leyla got their start on YouTube in 2010, and came out with their own line of affordable clip-in hair extensions (Luxy) shortly after. These sisters focus mainly on hair tutorials, and most of their tutorials incorporate their Luxy Hair extensions. They started off doing videos together, and would sometimes trade of and on, taking turns making videos. Most of the current videos feature only Mimi (left). Their videos teach you very unique and fun hairstyles as well as helpful haircare tips. I began watching them a few months ago, and always look forward to seeing what they'll come up with next. I also am considering purchasing a set of their extensions. Has anyone tried them?
6. Lo Bosworth
Most of you probably know who Lo Bosworth is. The starred in the MTV hit shows Laguna Beach and The Hills. She has recently (2013) started making youtube videos featuring hair & makeup tutorials, cooking, home decor ideas, and fashion advice. She's fun to watch, and is such a natural beauty.
7. Michelle Phan
Watch out YouTube world, this girl knows a thing or two. She got her start on YouTube in 2007, and now has OVER 5 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS! This young woman is a phenomenon in her own right. She's been called the "Accidental Millionaire." I started watching Michelle a few years ago when I was looking for a Black Swan makeup tutorial to try on a rainy day. She has produced some of the most creative ideas with makeup over the past 6 years, and has recently launched her own cosmetics line em cosmetics. Her videos feature mainly makeup tutorials and advice, but she dabbles in a bit of everything.
8. Anna Saccone
Anna got her start on YouTube in 2009, and has also published her own book The Style Diet. With over 5 million subscribers, this Irish beauty has become a definite YouTube celebrity. She really does it all in her videos. She covers makeup, hair, cooking, healthy eating tips, home decor, and takes you on her journey as a new mother. Though I can't yet benefit from her motherhood tips, everything else she does is fantastic. She is so charming and lovable, and is a great inspiration and role model for young women.
