How to Become a Youtube Beauty Guru
By LolaSmith777
Here are some little tips and help on how to become a successful YouTube makeup guru!
Things you will need
* Camera or Web cam
* Makeup
* All sorts of beauty products
* A fun personality
* Anything and everything else
First of all, create a YouTube account! And as you know it is 100% free!
http://www.youtube.com/
Get ideas from other beauty guru videos before you start making your own. You do not have to have a huge makeup collection, but the more videos you make the more your collection will expand. The more views you get the more different beauty companies will send you free products for you to try.
The hardest thing is getting your videos out there, and not just having them float around lost in YouTube. During the first week you need to market you videos by subscribing to other beauty gurus! Mainly, beauty gurus under 500 subscribers, because most likely they'll subscribe back to you. And there you go you have an added subscriber.
When you are starting out, message other beginner beauty gurus and ask them to give you shout outs! Huge beauty gurus will most likely decline, but gurus under 500 subscribers would most likely love to, and you'll start a YouTube friendship!
Make goals for yourself about the number of subscribers you get, once you get to 1,000 time will soar! And your videos will start get thousands of views.
Make a list of upcoming videos: Makeup/Hair Tutorials, Hauls, Makeup Collection, Perfume Collection, Monthly Favorites, Products you love, Products you regret buying, Outfit of the day, Room Tours, girl talk, skin care routine, acne help, and more.
Remember you are helping people with your videos! You don't need experience to become a guru. It will be awesome if you have it but many gurus have self taught. It is all about sharing your what you know and learn. Knowledge is Beauty. Be willing to try and be willing to learn. It is a nerve racking putting your videos on the Internet.
GOOD LUCK!
make sure to be original and make videos that interest people!
Tips!
* Make sure to have good quality videos! Viewers don't like to watch bas quality videos.
* Editing software really helps to manage your videos, and inserting comments and dialogue boxes.
* Market your videos by creating a twitter, and twittering about your videos!
* Here are some popular YouTube gurus: Juicystar07,AllThatGlitters21, MichellePhan, Macbarbie07,MakeupByTiffanyD, xteeener, MissChievous, Makeupgeektv, eleventhgorgeous, and lots more depending on what you prefer!
Warnings
* If you don't love beauty, makeup, and clothes I advise you not to become a beauty guru.
* Never compare yourself to other gurus, you are yourself, be unique and let your personality stand out.
* You might get negative comments and haters especially the more popular you get.
*Don't be boring, you do not have to teach your viewers everything and have 20 minute long videos.
* Leave "like" and "uhmm" alone! It annoys viewers.
Remember that you are beautiful on the inside.
* JUST BE YOURSELF!

VERY helpful tips. Thank you very much!
Nice! Helpful
Thanks so much
good tips, except i would stronnngly advice NOT to ask any guru for shoutouts. it annoys them no matter what their amount of subscribers. instead ask them to check out your channel & then you can build a friendship, and maybe get a shoutout off of that.
I make beauty videos, that I consider pretty unique...
Thanks! Great Tips!
Check my channel out! :)

hi :) i think your tips are quite helpful. i watch beauty videos since a
loooooooong time
and i am
susbribed to about 100beuaty gurus and i love them alll an i have watched 80%videos of them. now i decided to start my own channel but theres one problem : i do own some makeuo but not that much like all the americans do... i havr maybe 3lipsticks naked palette 3eyeshadows 5eyeliner, 2lipliners, 3foundations one powder 2bronzer one blush and 2mascaras and maybe about 10brushes... do you think that will be enough? because my
parentd already say
i have enough makeup but i dont want to
tell them about youtube Yet, i didnt tell anybody
only my best friend... i only want to tell my parents when im already a little bit susccesfull like 500subscribers ... and i do not in america so makeup is nit that cheap for me (i dot like buying cheap makeup, it has to be high end or at least something lime loreal(in germany its not that cheao its a "normal"brand ...
btw im 14

Heyyy. So I basically love eclectic, ''indie'' makeup and hair. And would like to start a beauty/self-help/art channel. It's a mosh but I honestly, honrstly, think it will attract viewers and help people! Look for me on YouTube, user name SpencieSpecimen.
I love all the YouTube beauty gurus but there are so many and I feel bad for the undersubscribed ones. My friend has just started a new one and I think it's great! Check her out:
