Beauty bloggers are taking the world by storm. From books, TV show, makeup lines, and brand collaborations, beauty bloggers are showing up in the industry in a big way. The appeal of beauty bloggers is so unique because most of the time, their videos and online platforms are so approachable and friendly. Most of them look and act like your best friend. Another thing that makes beauty bloggers so in demand? They are knowledgeable about a vast number of makeup products and have an almost encyclopedic wealth of information about beauty brands and all their product lines. More than their DIY tutorials, make-up how-to’s and beauty and makeup “haul” posts, these bloggers are business savvy and even more, they are so great at what they do so much so that their niche in the industry is established. We count on them to tell us which products are great and which are not. I simply love watching their videos!
Here is my personal rundown of the Top 10 Beauty Bloggers in the industry:
Can you really make a list like this without including beauty blogger powerhouse Michelle Phan? Not really. A pioneer in beauty blogging and a definite trendsetter, you can always count on Michelle Phan to show you a fool proof way to get the make-up look you’ve been coveting. Her Youtube channel has over a billion views, which has led to a published book, her own cosmetic line, and even an e-commerce venture, that is now worth $84 million. She defines “Girl Boss” to a T.
Into the Gloss pretty much invented the “shelfie,” which is now a bona fide social media phenomenon. A shelfie is a photo of someone’s makeup, or maybe even bookshelf. This snapshot says so much about a person’s taste and lifestyle. Into the Gloss is an online magazine that is most known for invading the shelves and makeup kits of fashion and beauty industry insiders and allowing readers to take a peek and gain a tip or two from their beauty routine.
Lauren Conrad of “The Hills” fame is now a certified mogul. The Beauty Department is one of her highly successful ventures, a beauty blog filled with doable DIY skincare, easy to follow makeup tips and tutorials, cute nail art how-to’s as well as an inspiration page filled with what LC is loving at the moment.
