My Favorite YouTube Guru's

I started watching makeup tutorials on YouTube about two years ago and am definitely addicted now! I have watched numerous gurus but there are only a few channels I have subscribed to.   Here are some of my fave ladies to watch on YouTube:

1. itsjudytime - the first makeup tutorial I ever tried was Judy's "Rihanna Inspired Cat Eye" and it turned out fabulous!!! Judy does excellent makeup tutorials, but her hair tutorials are even better!! She is adorable and really fun to watch!

2. Makeup Geek - Marlena is the Makeup Geek and she does amazing tutorials. All of her makeup looks are fabulous and she is excellent at explaining application techniques. She also does swatches and reviews on all sorts of products and these are very useful to look at before purchasing products (especially if you are buying online). She also has her own line of reasonably priced brushes for sale on her website - I have the Deluxe Foundation Stippling Brush and love it.

3. kandeejohnson - Kandee is a professional make-up artist who shares helpful expert tips on makeup, skin care, hair, and fashion. She also does really amazing costume tutorials around Halloween (check out her Edward Scissorhands tutorial!!!). Watch one of her videos and you will be hooked - she seems like the biggest sweetheart in the whole world!!

4. AllThatGlitters21 - I got hooked onto Elle when she did a video on a brand of jeans called "Skinny Jeans". I mainly watch Elle's videos because she does a lot of product reviews and she's always trying new drugstore products. Her "Favorites" videos are definitely worth watching!
