1. Glam and Gore

Don’t get intimidated by this channel. It has the best of both glam makeup and special effects makeup. Mykie does an amazing job showing you step by step how to achieve either kind of work. The fact that she is a self-taught makeup artist makes her easier to follow for anyone new to makeup, because she knows an easier way to show her viewers.

NikkieTutorials

Nikkie allows her videos to be 100% real. Not to say any other YouTuber doesn’t, but you can generally see her joy or distain for products. Her monthly favorites and ‘Oh God No’s’ are perfect for people to see if a product would be worth your money. She breaks down each product and tells you what is good or bad about it and how it reacted on her skin.

MannyMUA

Manny is one of the few male makeup artists on YouTube that I enjoy watching. The looks he creates are so universal that anyone can pull them off. I love that he tries the crazy hacks with Jeffree Star. The two of them together, although they give me anxiety, make me excited for a crazy video. But now that he has Zaya, I mainly watch his videos just to get a glimpse of her.

Jaclyn Hill

I have just started to watch Jaclyn recently. I know she is more well-known than the ones mentioned above, but for those of you who are new to makeup I thought I should put her in here. The looks she creates are flawless and so easy to recreate. I recreated one of her Valentine’s Day looks, and even though I did not have the exact same products as her, the colors she used allow me to use the colors that I had available to me.
