3 Brilliant Celebrity Makeup Artists to Watch on YouTube

At this point in my life, I’m not looking to watch a 14-year-old demo her glitter eye shadow look for homecoming — even if she is better at makeup than I’ll ever be. Sometimes YouTube can feel like another planet where everyone is at least a decade younger (don’t even get me started on those baffling “haul” videos). That’s why I’m grateful for these YouTube beauty gurus that don’t make me feel like a creepy old voyeur. And since they’re real career beauty pros whose work can be seen on the red carpet and in editorials, I completely trust their advice.

 

This makeup artist’s soothing British accent and gorgeous features make her tutorials totally entrancing. Her Marilyn Monroe video is a fascinating lesson in the history of film makeup, but it’s her super helpful basics tutorials that you’ll want to bookmark and refer back to over and over again.

 

 

Nobody does rock and roll makeup better than Tilbury, who’s not only Kate Moss’s go-to makeup artist but also a Fashion Week fixture for designers like Donna Karan and Tom Ford. Now her highly covetable makeup line just needs to migrate across the pond.

 

 

This celebrity makeup artist works with Amanda Seyfried, Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Jessica Alba and tons of other famous beauties. Her red carpet tutorials demystify all those award show looks we love to stalk.
