Did you know that easy make up application and hair styling lessons taught by everyday average girls like you is available at your very own fingertips? I am sure everyone has heard of youtube, right?!  For those of you who may not know, youtube hosts video clips made by real people for the whole world to see.  While searching through the videos, I found make up and hair tutorials!So far my top three favorite youtube make up mavens are:

Leesha AKA xsparkage 

Leesha’s cute, quirky, honest, and has a wealth of make up knowledge beyond her 20 years.  Leesha does live video, which means you are watching her work her magic as she explains her technique and talks about the products and tools she uses.  Miss xsparkage has also just launched her own website providing a make-up blog and photo gallery. Also on her resume is a hair accessory website completely dedicated to the cutest handmade bows. Check it: http://www.discodolliesbows.com www.xsparkage.com

Jody AKA monroemisfitmakeup  

Jody is a unique, ultra-talented, and insanely beautiful blonde bombshell. Miss Jody is awesome at interpreting make up looks and remaking them in her own style.  Jody provides still photos with visual text explaining her techniques.  Who needs talking? A picture is worth a thousand words, right?!   

Viznuk Svetlana AKA nirenya 

Best European import. Viznuk is also very talented and has an awesome trick to recreate crease depth and eye shape with just a basic eyeliner pencil and small smudge brush. She also has her own website plastered with beautiful photos of her looks.  Viznuk does a combination of live video and still photos. Scope it: http://www.beautyart.com.ua/en/I highly suggest you watch and learn. What a great way to pick up some great tips or find that perfect look you’ve been searcing for for your Quince!  Another great thing is that since these video MUAs are real people, they take requests.  So, if they don’t have what you’re looking for, make a request!! Plus, it’s free! That’s gotta be great for the budget!But if you’re still unsure, some of the girls are free lance make up artists looking for new clients.  So check for local MUAs and have your parents give them a ring!Please stay tuned for suggestions for hair styling experts!
