It is no secret that I love love love YouTube. I could waste whole days watching beauty videos. I watch beauty gurus and people who are normal everyday people like me. I never have claimed to know what I was doing when it came to makeup. I honestly have no clue what I am doing most of the time. I like to watch the people who know what they are doing so that maybe one day I will have the skills to make my face look flawless like they do. Here are 5 things I have learned from binge watching YouTube beauty gurus.

1. Concealer goes over foundation.

This one makes me seem a little dumb, I know. Okay, let's be real here. I see concealer and think "this goes on first to cover up my pimples". I in no way would have thought that you put concealer on after foundation, because why not cover your blemishes first?

2. Eyeshadow primer is key.

I do not claim to be great at makeup but I think I can make my eyeshadow look pretty good. Eyeshadow has always been my favorite makeup product. I love doing my eyes and making them pop. I also notice that after a few hours there are lines on my eyelids from my eyeshadow. Until recently I had no clue why this was. Its because you should use a primer to make everything stick better and stay in place. WHAT?! Never knew this...

3. Lip Primer.

Another type of primer, I know. I honestly only knew about foundation primer until not too long ago. Growing up I remember my grandma putting on chapstick before her lipstick so that's what I thought you did. Well now we have actual lip primer and I am still not sure what the difference is but ,eh who cares?

4. Baking.

The first time I heard this in a video I honestly thought that it was a joke. Like "oh now it's time to bake". I was so confused but then I heard it more and more and I was really confused. What the heck does this mean? Now I could be wrong but from what I've gathered it is when you put a powder under your eyes to help set that area and then after a few minutes, you brush it off... Uh ok.

5. Contouring

Contouring is still a little bit foreign to me. I don't really get how to do it and what colors to use for each step. I know this is something that a lot of people are doing and I just don't get it. Sure it sculpts your face and brings out features but it seems like a lot of work to make it look good. Some people fail at it and look like my three year old sister did their make-up. I seriously just do not understand the whole process.
