If you go on YouTube and search “makeup tutorial,” you will be instantly bombarded with nearly nine million videos. From how to contour like a Kardashian, to finally figuring out how to achieve the ever-elusive cat eye, it would take you forever (or at least a few days) to scroll through every single video. Despite there being an overwhelming amount of tutorials available, there are only a handful of go-to beauty gurus that rule the YouTube beauty scene. While standouts like Zoella and Kandee Johnson certainly offer awesome makeup tips, they don’t really provide much advice for viewers with different skin tones.
There are so many amazing POC-friendly vloggers that you’ve probably never even heard of, so we found 11 of the best POC-friendly YouTube beauty gurus around.
