Watching YouTube is fun and a great way to kick back and take a break from the stress of everyday life. Whether you’re into makeup or not, chances are you’ll enjoy some of these YouTubers. And who knows? You could learn something, too!
1. Samantha Ravndahl
Not only is she talented, funny, and a total babe, but she knows her stuff. Her tutorials are in-depth and are great for beginners.

He’s an artist whose videos and makeup tutorials are breaking stereotypes and proving that makeup isn’t just for girls! There’s not one of his videos that doesn’t get me laughing. You’ll fall in love with him immediately.

She has a wide range of videos on her channel, and the ones where she tells stories while doing her makeup are my personal favorite. Kristi is incredibly talented and absolutely hilarious.

Katy is goofy, talented, and great at her tutorials. Her looks range from natural glam to bright and fun pops of color. If you watch her videos, get ready to see a lot of Koko Lashes.

5. Desi Perkins
Desi is a friend of Katy’s who is equally as gifted at makeup (her full glam tutorials give me life!). And she usually slips in something a bit more creative and fun around Halloween.

Patrick and Manny have been referred to as the “Boys of Beauty.” The way he combines drag and beauty makeup is amazing. “Makeup is one size fits all.”

7. Makeup Geek
Marlena is not only an artist, but the head of her own makeup brand! Makeup Geek has an incredibly beautiful line of shadows, blushes, contour shades, eyeliners, pigments, and more! (I’m addicted to the blushes and matte shadows!) Her tutorials almost always feature a fun pop of color and she's absolutely adorable!

9. NikkieTutorials
Nikkie is a beautiful blonde bombshell who has some of the most fun makeup tutorials out there. She’s been on YouTube for a staggering eight years! And she just keeps getting better. She loves drag and often incorporates that style into her looks. And more recently, she has a series where she recreates her favorite Snapchat filters! (Nikkie created the "Power of Makeup" trend!)

10. Jeffree Star
Originally getting his star in music, Jeffree is a remarkable artist who also has his own makeup line! (His Velour Liquid Lipsticks are to die for). If his trademark pink hair, glitter tears, and tattoos don’t draw you in immediately, his sense of humor sure will. I love the videos he does with his boyfriend, Nathan. (That Bowie tribute, tho.)

11. Jaclyn Hill
Time to bow down to the queen of makeup! Jaclyn Hill is my all-time favorite makeup artist. She has some of the most versatile makeup looks on YouTube. Her tutorials are in-depth and informative, not to mention entertaining. If you haven’t heard of any of her makeup collabs, have you been living under a rock? I'd be lying if I said I hadn't watched every single one of her videos at least 3 times. She’s beautiful, funny, and down-to-earth. What more could you want?

Watching makeup tutorials and beauty-related videos is one of my favorite ways to relax. And with finals coming up, a quick YouTube session is the perfect study break.
