But now, anyone can be a star. Using the video and camera equipment they already have, many people are creating a niche for themselves and even making it to “the big time” from their corner of the world through the magic of video and video marketing. The following ten people are the most subscribed beauty youtubers promoting themselves & their skills on YouTube and & other social media. Take a look at these summaries of popular beauty bloggers and their youtube makeup tutorials to learn more about how they did it.
