My 10 Favorite Makeup Youtubers

-


With school starting again, whether it be online or in person, I though that it would be a good time for me to make a list of some of my favorite makeup YouTubers. So whether you are going back to school, or are just wanting to learn some makeup tips here are my favorite people to learn from!



1. Jaclyn Hill. 


Jaclyn is great for teaching all of the different techniques that come with the different trends that come around with makeup. She is the ultimate makeup teacher that shows you how to put it on and make it actually look good. She mainly sticks to tutorials and recommends products that are tried and true. 



2. Casey Holmes 

Casey will teach some technique, but she mainly tests out different products: both high-end and drug store. She really gives her honest opinion on the products she tests so you can have a good idea how the product performs. She is also known to do seasonal tutorials to do a look showing you the trend of the season. If you're lucky, you might also see her adorable baby and two dogs. 



3. RachhLoves

She is one of the OG beauty YouTubers, but I honestly only found her this year. I love her fun energy and the fact that she does a combination of several different things on her channel. She does product reviews, tutorials, challenges, and everything in between. She talks about things she likes, and doesn't about things she doesn't. Her channel is light and fun, and a good escape. She also has great recommendations! 


4. Taylor Wynn

This girl is the queen of foundation. Don't get me wrong, she is great on all other aspects of makeup too, but foundation is her thing. Every Friday she does a video over foundation, usually testing a new foundation. The other two videos a week she posts either tutorials, product testings, or good old favorites videos.  


5. Glam and Gore

Okay, so Mykie only does beauty makeup some of the time, but she is 100% worth watching. Her humor makes me smile with every video. She can also turn herself into just about anything: a Bratz doll, SpongeBob, Ursula, her dog! She is seriously so talented and hilarious, I really love watching her. 


6. Katy Hodges 

Katy is Mykie's sometimes roommate/best friend. She has recently started her YouTube channel and unlike Mykie, just does beauty makeup. She mainly does tutorials and, like Jaclyn, is a really great teacher. She really takes her time to explain what she is doing to achieve the look that she is going for, which is something that I really love and appreciate. It isn't something that very many people do on YouTube anymore. She also does challenges and has fun with things on her channel. 


7. James Charles

James has been though his share of controversy, but that doesn't change the fact that he is insanely talented. He focuses on the artistic side of makeup. He loves using color and creating art within his face. Most of his videos aren't looks that you'll go out and wear on the daily basis, but watching his does inspire me to think outside of my neutrals box and play with some colors in my makeup. 


8. Jeffree Star

Jeffree has been through his share of controversy and then some, but I do love seeing if a product is Jeffree Star Approved. His channel is usually reviewing products, or showcasing products from his own brand. Leaving aside any drama that surrounds him, he knows product and comes out with great product. I also know that if something is Jeffree Star Approved, I'll probably like it. 



9. Nikkie Tutorials 

Nikkie is like the queen of challenges. You know all of the challenges that there is no possible way for you to make your makeup look good? Well she made it look good. Don't know how, but she did. She also reviews products, usually one that are put out by other YouTubers and will usually give an honest opinion on them. She is a lot like James Charles in the sense that she is not afraid to get creative and use color. Don't worry, her user name isn't a lie, she does put out plenty of seasonal tutorials!


10. RawBeautyKristi

I'll be perfectly honest with you, I've only recently started watching her videos. She just released her palette that broke the internet and sold out almost instantly. She has also finally gotten pregnant after struggling with infertility for over a decade. Her name has gotten pretty big all of the sudden, but she has got some tutorials and some *gorgeous* looks and does a lot of product reviews. I'm excited to watch her more and watch her enter into this new chapter in her life.

Dysautonomia Awareness Month

-
Image
Hello all! This month is dysautonomia awareness month! Now this is probably where you're saying dys-auto-what? This can get really complicated so I'm going to try to put it as simply as possible.  Dysautonomia is an umbrella term that refers to conditions which cause dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. I personally have postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome or POTS*. There are many other conditions that are under this umbrella, but I am going to keep the focus on my personal conditions.  *My POTS was caused by a genetic condition I have called ehlers-danlos syndrome, which affects your connective tissues.  So now you know what the word means, but now there is the question: What is the autonomic nervous system? The autonomic nervous system refers to all the body's involuntary functions, or the functions you don't consciously control. This means things like heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, vasoconstriction/dilation, pupillary response, sweating and more

https://www.warnerbros.com/movies/harry-potter-complete-8-film-collection/ The Light by Everlaih  Hermione G, Sirius B, Remus L. Complete. Rated: T “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of places, if one remembers to turn on a light.” During the final battle, Hermione gets sent back in time to the marauders time at Hogwarts to save her life. Now that she is there, she makes a life with them. She Didn’t Need to Be Saved by NineAnd3Quarters  (Fred + Hermione) Complete. Rated: T. "She didn't need to be saved. She needed to be found and appreciated, for exactly who she was." J.I.W I watched Hermione as she sat in the corner pretending to read a book. I say that because she spent most of her time behind that particular book examining page 214. For the past month she had been 'reading' that book and hadn't turned the page once. Fred and Hermione Story The Way Home by Miss Grace O’Malley  (Hermione + Sirius), Remus L, Fabian P. Com

10 Common Makeup Mistakes

Using an HD setting powder / a setting powder with flashback to an event/occasion using flash photography You have to be careful with setting powders when you are going to be taking pictures. If you watch beauty YouTubers, you may remember James Charles’ “Flashback Mary” situation as he likes to call it. There are a lot of setting powders that will cause flashback when taking photos with flash, or in other words, creating a white cast in the picture.  Now here are a few ways that you can try to prevent this from happening. Stay away from HD setting powders when you know that you are going to be getting photos taken. Always look at reviews before buying the powder, learn from other's experiences! Give it a test run beforehand - especially if it is for your wedding or something important as that. In the test run, do the makeup how you plan to the day of the event, then take photos with both flash and non flash in all different types of lighting so you can get the best idea on how not

2021 Summer Recap

  Hello all, it’s been awhile. I was just looking and saw that I have not made a post since May! It’s hard to believe that it was that long ago that I was compiling the list of movie recommendations for y’all (link to there here). There definitely would not have been such a long break had I been feeling better. Summers are consistently pretty hard for me. Part of my POTS is that I have a hard time regulating my body temperature, so me and the heat don’t really get along.  Some little things about this summer that seems worth sharing: In May I turned 24! We went to Denton Valley for my birthday and got some fresh pro duce for my dad to cook out on the grill,  and some other goodies from their store. I also updated my drivers license, and now it is the grownup horizontal one! I got allergy tested and we learned that I’m pretty much allergic to everything outside in Texas. Seriously, I’m allergic to pecan trees! We have one in the front yard and another one in the backyard, just like ever

My Mom LIVED at a Haunted School

  It is the beginning of Spooky season! I don’t know about you, but I am so ready for cooler weather, changing leaves, and watching Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown on repeat. To kick off Halloween season 2021 I’ve got a fun story for all of you! Whereas folklore and urban legends are always fun, my favorite stories are the ones where there is a personal connection. So you already know from reading the title, this is the story of my mom living at a haunted school when she was a kid. Now I do have to admit, the things that were attributed to the hauntings happened mostly in the years after she lived there, but not all. Even if she doesn’t have her own personal paranormal experiences there, I still think that this is a really interesting story.  Miller Hall In Albion, Idaho, there was a school that had a couple of different names and types of education over the years: Albion Normal School, or as it was named when my mother lived there, Magic Valley Christian College. You may recognize the n
