5 Best Makeup Tutorial Artists on YouTube
Although you can get a lot out of traditional picture makeup tutorials, sometimes it’s fun to watch a video tutorial instead. YouTube is the place to be as far as makeup tutorial videos go. Though there are dozens of people on the website providing makeup tutorials, I’ve come up a list of the 5 best makeup tutorial artists available, in no particular order.
Next time you want a bright makeup look but don’t know what to do, check out one of these YouTube makeup channels.
JennisseMakeup
Jenn of JennisseMakeup provides tons of makeup tutorials for really bright, dramatic eye shadow looks. She also does nail tutorials and product reviews.
You may remember me following one of her tutorials to come up with my orange smoke Face of the Day. Here’s another example of her eye makeup prowess:
Makeup Geek TV
Marlena of Makeup Geek TV will school you in all things beauty. She is especially good at showing new makeup trends or giving you tips on how to emulate the look of a celebrity like Kim Kardashian or Angelina Jolie. She also reviews some of the more popular beauty products.
Makeup by Jacqueline (brilliantbrnette81)
Jacqueline does some really bright makeup looks. She’ll use colors that you may not think go together and produce a show-stopping, completely adorable look. Not sure what to do with your eye shadow? Check with her first.
Michelle Phan
Michelle Phan is one of the most adorable people on YouTube. In addition to the occasional makeup tutorial, she also talks about beauty in general and talks to the camera about her life. If you’re Asian and looking for makeup tips to help with your almond eyes, she’s the person to see (though her tips can help everyone else, too.) Her videos have high production value.
Pixiwoo
Pixiwoo is the lovely beauty duo of Samantha and Nicola. These women are true beauty insiders. They have news and tutorials not just about eye makeup but about hair and other aspects of beauty as well. They really know their stuff.

I adore Pixiwoo, that’s my fave channel ever. Those girls are really lovely and I’ve learned a lot from them. I also love Makeup Geek and JennisseMakeup, they do some beautiful bright looks. I follow lots of people on Youtube, but apart the ones you mentioned, my faves are MissChievous and Sparkage. They’re nice girls that make some bright and creative looks.
gio´s last blog ..Product Review: Pupa Luminys Baked Blush #04
I love Pursebuzz, petrilude, EnKoreMakeup, evepearl, xsparkage and gossmakeupartist just to name a few. Youtube make up Gurus have helped me become so much better at how I apply my make up and how everyone can wear the latest make up trends. Also the make up reviews and swatches make my purchasing make up from the internet so much more confident. The internet and beauty are to things made for each other like PB&J, Mac & Cheese, ect…..
Thanks for all of the recommendations, Gio and Jody! It’s crazy how many really talents artists are on YouTube!
i agree with the other girls about xsparge, pursebuzz, misChievous, and MakeupGeek, and I also love Missjessicaharlow, and monroemisfitmakeup, they are great!! MissJessicaHarlow was featured in Nylon magazine with Michelle Phan..I watch way too much Youtube..lol.. But agree these ladies really help fine tune my makeup techniques and inspire me..
I love Michelle Phan. I can’t stop watching her videos lately, especially the Geisha Halloween Tutorial (which I did today in brick red and vanilla brown). But my other favorite who isn’t listed here is Kandee Johnson, who does an amazing job at costume makeup and making me jealous. =] Both are beautiful women who are great at what they do.
I don’t know why, but makeup tutorials bring me this amazing zen state of mind and it’s so addicting.
Michelle Phan has great tutorials! I would also recommend danalajeunesse. I found her recently and LOVE her style.
