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.


Makeup Product Photography Tumblr Makeup Products PhotographyThere 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?

  1. I always find myself watching beauty gurus on YouTube. I’m always interested of learning how to do different hair and makeup styles. I’m not exactly talented in doing stuff that has to do with beauty (which doesn`t exactly make sense considering I`m a girl but whatever) Anyways, great blog!

  2. Super nice blog post Kimberlee! I don't really put on a lot of makeup or do something with my hair but once in a while, when I am bored I try on new technics. I'm thinking of trying out that Dutch flower braid, it looks very pretty. Thank you Kimberlee! Beauty gurus are very fun and interesting!
