MAKEUP + FASHION ON YOUTUBE


It's been a while since I've made my first video now (y'know, the one about waiting in line for ice cream for 4 hours), and I've been thinking about making another. I haven't been doing anything particularly interesting since I wake up at 5AM and do homework/work all day, but maybe I'll make a video when my life gets a little more interesting.

Lately I've been looking at a lot of YouTube channels, and I find that this website is so saturated with impressive creative content. I've always favored lifestyle/fashion/beauty videos, and much of it revolves around similar themes like "autumn outfits" or "my everyday makeup", but I also think it's important for the creator to be able to convey their original personality through the content. It's definitely not as easy as it sounds, so kudos to my favorite channels that add a punch of character to their fashion and makeup videos:


IAMKARENO

Karen makes the cutest videos-- her quirky style and 90s aesthetic works well with her bubbly persona that sets her apart from other YouTubers. She does have a bit of a more targeted fashion that reflects a more youthful and 80s/90s feel, but it's a refreshing sight among my feed of "modern" looks. Her videos have bright colors and a nostalgic feel that makes you want to slip into a pair of overalls and a neon windbreaker.







THELINEUP

I don't know why it took me so long to discover this channel, but I was surprised when I did. It's run by two Swedish girls who create some of the most aesthetic videos that I've seen on YouTube. I don't know how they take such wonderful compositions or find the dreamiest of settings (especially as it seems they've done it right off the bat!), but their videos are created as beautifully as their fashion senses are.





TITANTYRA

Titan is one of the more relatable people that I subscribe to. She's an aspiring beauty YouTuber who I've been following for a while, and her videos have improved so much over a short period of time. It's hard not to relate to her-- she's down-to-earth, funny, and swears just enough times to make you feel like you're watching a friend's videos. She's definitely one to keep an eye on.



CLOTHESENCOUNTERS

Probably one of the YouTubers that I've been following the longest,  Jenn Im has mastered the beauty and fashion video. Fashionable and lovable, she often takes us along to follow her days though sunny LA, all in an addictive bubbly way. She's definitely found her cozy spot in the YouTube community, so go visit her channel~

In the meantime, I think I'll stick to hiding behind the screen for a bit and writing out my dialogue!
