My Fav YouTubers




 [ From left to right ]


So if you haven't noticed, I recently really got into makeup.  I used to always be the girl who wore hardly any foundation, said I'd never own mascara, and my favorite and pretty much only makeup product was my eyeliner.  I would have rather had a bare face and gotten sunkissed on a summer day.  Now that I've gotten older, I'm figuring out that it's really important to me to express myself.  My first step to doing this was making the major decision of studying photography as a career.  Now 4 years later, I'm continuously finding new ways to express myself.  Tattoos.  Interior design.  Blogging.  Website building.  Clothing.  And makeup.  Seriously though, it's become a bit of an addiction for me.  I'm not saying I love to put gobs and gobs of makeup on my face on a regular basis... I just really enjoy exploring new products and I honestly love putting it on.

Whenever I needed a new makeup product, I'd always turn to my sister.  She was quite into the beauty gurus on YouTube.  Then one day, I explored YouTube for myself... and discovered beauty guru after beauty guru after beauty guru.  I became obsessed.  It's been really good for me though.  I've always been pretty insecure about my physical appearance and makeup has given me the opportunity to try out beautiful looks and gain some confidence.  

Okay, this is turning into a really drawn out post... I'm supposed to be telling you who my favorite YouTubers are!  Basically, I turned to YouTube for the beauty gurus, but I quickly realized that some of my favorites were young women and some even still in high school.  That's crazy, right!?  I then discovered other types of YouTubers... anything from Photoshop masters to people who just want to put together bits of clips to make you laugh.  The thing that they all have in common though is that they are REAL people.  It's about as real as reality gets.  It's so refreshing to tune into YouTube after a long day and be able to get inspiration from real people who often suffer from a lot of the same things we do.  They're inspiring, funny, unique, beautiful, real, and the more I watch one particular YouTuber, the more I feel like I'm friends with them.

They may have started their channel for themselves... for an outlet to express themselves, but they've kept it up for as long as they have because of their viewers.  Some not even getting paid for the first few months or maybe years of them starting their channel, but they still hang in there because they love it.  Maybe I'm talking too much for them.. I don't knowww!  All I know is I've been really into YouTube lately and find these everyday people so much more entertaining than celebrities on our favorite TV show or the newest episode of Teen Mom.  They really do inspire me to stick with what I love and to remember that if I'm always real with myself and with you all, the readers will begin to flow in and people will come back for more.

So that's that... there's my little big post on how I feel about YouTubers and I wanted to share my current top 25 favorites!  For real though guys, I literally watch these talented people EVERY SINGLE DAY.  If you're ever needing some entertainment, inspiration, or just a good laugh... I highly suggest turning to YouTube.  It's a great place to be.  Do you have a favorite YouTubers?  Comment down below if so.  :)   xo Ali Bee
