The World of YouTube Beauty Videos

Are you a beauty junkie?  (Um, is the sky blue?)  There’s an entire world on YouTube of glamour goddesses who create daily hair and makeup tutorial videos for people like us…and watching them all in rapid succession has quickly become one of my biggest guilty pleasures.  The sheer volume of insider tricks out there boggles the mind!  Gurus like Michelle Phan, All That Glitters 21, Makeup Geek TV, Juicy Star 07, Lollipop 26 and Panacea 81 (otherwise known as newbie cosmetics sensation Lauren Luke) video from their bedrooms, offering a refreshing real-gal spin on how to use products to look gorgeous.  (I have my own YouTube channel, at Jolie NYC, but my hand-held camera and “Eh, who really cares?” background are of the indie variety, while the above videos resemble Oscar-caliber productions.)

I’ve included a Michelle Phan video above–hers are my personal favorite–on how to salvage the last bits of your lipgloss from the tube.  Enjoy…and I dare you not to become addicted yourself!
