1. Jaclyn Hill
Jaclyn is a professional makeup artist who you also want to be your best friend. She's absolutely hilarious no matter what video she's making, and she always looks absolutely beautiful at the end of her tutorials. She also has her own products and will be releasing an entire makeup line in 2016. She gives amazing beauty advice and does goofy videos like the "no mirror makeup challenge" or lets her boyfriend to do her makeup. Just a disclaimer: she uses a lot of high-end expensive products so her looks can be hard to replicate exactly, but there are so many dupes out there it's not difficult to do similar looks. She also has videos about her favorite drug store products so you can still get affordable ideas from her channel.

3. Chloe Morello
Chloe is a YouTube star out of Australia who has been doing beauty tutorials and product reviews since 2012. Although I will admit I don't own 95 percent of the products she uses, I truly enjoy watching her create different makeup and hair looks flawlessly. She is always giving the best advice even for beginners, and her sense of humor makes her videos that much better. She has worked with several makeup brands such as L'Oreal Paris, YSL, Napoleon Perdis, Vaseline, and Simone Perele, so she definitely knows the best techniques and products. And with her wide variety of videos over the years, you can find a tutorial for just about any look you want.

4. My Pale Skin
This YouTube channel run by Em Ford has truly inspired me in my beauty journey. She has had a lot of backlash for her acne/scarring and is an advocate for people who struggle with their skin and still want to feel beautiful. She somehow can transform her skin from red and blemished to airbrushed and flawless. She's also pale of course, and as a fellow pale person I can attest to the struggle of finding products that match my skin tone, so she has been a real life saver. She is from London, so some of the products she uses are unfamiliar to us here in the USA, but most of the things she uses in her tutorials are readily available to us Americans. Plus, her British accent just makes her videos even more adorable.

5. Cosmobyhaley
This YouTube channel run by Haley Wight was one of the first I subscribed to for my makeup addiction, and with only 127,973 subscribers, she's the least popular on my list but my personal favorite. She's a recent beauty school graduate, and her makeup tutorials are so beautifully simple. She uses a lot of drug store products, which is why I personally love her so much, because I can actually recreate these looks without spending hundreds of dollars on high-end products. She has flawless skin and naturally beautiful hair, and pretty much looks perfect without any makeup at all which is why I'm extremely jealous of her. Honestly, there's just something soothing about watching her apply makeup. But if you need to master winged-eyeliner or contouring/baking your face, I would highly recommend her under-appreciated channel.
