The different types of YouTube Videos - Vloggers

Hey, welcome back! Today I'm going to be talking about another type of video people post on YouTube - a vlog! What is a vlog, you may ask? A vlog is literally a video blog. It's where YouTubers can video tape anything they want, in relation to no matter what. For example, if I were to take this blog, The Wonders Of YouTube, and speak the words that I've written in front of a camera, it would be categorized as a vlog on YouTube.
Some YouTubers like to vlog fun experiences in their life to show to their subscribers. In example, going on a cruise, taking a vacation with their friends, going to a music festival, meeting an idol, or going to an award show could all be made into vlogs. Although, some people like to vlog in a more creative way.
The ones who tend to vlog creatively pick subjects in which their opinion can be portrayed to the world about a certain subject. For example, some YouTubers love to vlog in the form of rant videos, sketches, or music videos to entertain their subscribers while presenting a subject or trend they are familiar with.

A lot of vloggers also like to simply sit in front of the camera and talk about world wide issues or about what is going on in their life. I believe that the majority of people like to watch these types of vlog videos because they could be a spark of inspiration or could be easy to relate to. A YouTuber speaking about his/her personal experience with bullying could be a strong inspiration for those struggling with bullying while watching the vlog.















Most famous YouTubers like Bethany Mota, ThatcherJoe, Zoella, MayBaby, Tanya Burr,  Tyler Oakley, Tanya Burr, Jennxpenn, and more, have 2 separate channels on YouTube. One channel they would call their 'main channel' and the other would be strictly for vlog videos. Therefore, they normally have a set schedule for posting on their main channel (like a new video every Tuesday and Sunday) and they have their vlog channel for when they want to post on certain occasions.
In my opinion, vlogs are very entertaining and I tend to watch all sorts of different vlogs that catch my eye.

The different types of YouTube Videos - Beauty Gurus

Hey guys! Sorry it's been such a long time since I've posted! Good news though, I'm back on track! In the next few blog posts, I will be talking about the different types of YouTube videos that exist on YouTube. Today's blog post will be on beauty.


There are tons and tons of people on YouTube who adore all things beauty and who teach people about the world of beauty and fashion - this is what we call a "beauty Guru". Beauty Gurus can do all sorts of videos like make-up tutorials, nail designs, hair tutorials, hauls, skincare videos, fashion videos, and monthly favourites. Personally, I don't watch very many YouTube videos created by Beauty Gurus because I'm not into all things beauty or fashion. Sometimes I like to watch some videos pertaining to Beauty Gurus if I need inspiration. For example, although I'm not into make-up, I do love doing my nails from time to time. On days where I want to spend lots of time doing my nails to make them look really cool, I tend to look up nail tutorial videos made by Beauty Gurus to expand my creativity. A while back, I've painted my nails by using a water marble technique that I discovered while watching a Beauty Gurus video (sorry I don't remember whose). Although, I've always wanted to do ombré/gradiant nails because I've seen so many videos on how to do them and they look amazing. Here's a video done by "MissJenFABULOUS" on how to do ombré/gradiant nails if you were interested :

I don't mind watching hair tutorials either. I love doing my hair but sometimes it just takes lots of time and dedication to do a beautiful hairstyle. So, on the rare occasions when I have enough time and energy to do my hair, I'll look at some videos to try and recreated different styles. For my hair, I normally watch videos done by "Cute Girls Hairstyles". It's a channel on YouTube that has a wide range of videos explaining how to recreate different hairstyles using easy steps. One of my favorite videos on their channel is how to do the Dutch Flower Braid, which I've tried to do on many of my friends' hair and it turned out pretty good. Here's the video explaining how to do this wonderful and surprisingly easy hairstyle:

That's it for today's blog post. I hope you check out the two videos above and get inspired to recreate many different nail designs or hair designs. Also, I hope you've learned a little more about Beauty Gurus and the videos they add to the YouTube community. If you have a passion for beauty and fashion, why not become a Beauty Guru on YouTube?
