For the last four or five years YouTube has blown up with makeup artists starting their own YouTube channels. It started with funny videos, people sharing random things and then people sharing talent or "how to" videos. A simple idea has created a phenomenon of followers. I'm one of them.
I haven't dabbled in the video making just yet but I know I'd like to at one point. It not only seems fun, but it creates an outlet for people to share their knowledge and experience. I've seen top celebrity makeup artists and amateur turn professional (like I hope to become) makeup artists all thrive off of those who love watching them do what they love most, play with makeup!
Roughly three years ago I spotted this shared video of a women who was already a professional make up artist turned you tuber. The title read something positive and fun so I indulged and hit the link and watched. I was so inspired by her words, her out pour of positive vibes, love yourself/love others mentality. I watched the video from beginning to end and it left me completely touched. She made me feel I wasn't alone to be mushy, gushy, uber excited about everything makeup and to go after what I loved and to spread that love and share it. Her bright teal hair just had me at "Hi it's Kandee!" From that video on I watched every video she had created. I even went back to the first videos she created years earlier. Everything she would post was so cool. Her knowledge of makeup techniques and her little tricks, her beauty overhauls and my introduction to a contour pallet and a beauty blender. It was awesome, she was awesome! She was the real deal too, her list of experience was endless and as her channel grew, so did her career. I love watching her success because it shows that if you keep going, you will get there. She is a mom and beauty guru, my kind of lady!
With all the YouTube makeup artists out there I'd like to share my top 5 with those who might need a person to watch and learn. Although, I hope to be that person for someone, like Kandee is for me!
