YouTube pretty much raises us these days. It shows us how to cook, how to fix that leaky faucet, and everything there is to know about fashion and beauty. When it comes to makeup, it’s so much better to watch someone demonstrate a technique than trying to figure it out yourself. The beauty associates in stores are usually willing to help, but you don’t want to hit them up every time you want to try a new look.

That’s why makeup YouTubers are so great. You can watch from the comfort of your own home and follow along with someone who knows what they are doing. Let’s check out three amazing Black YouTubers who have some of the best basic makeup tutorials out there.
