In the early stages of our beauty obsession, it was YouTube and its many vloggers that taught us the lay of the land. From eyebrow tutorials— some we wish we had ignored— to smokey eye imitations that didn’t quite come out how we expected, Youtube has been a digital beauty dictionary at our fingertips for years. It’s hard to keep up with the thousands of vloggers that take over our Youtube feeds from day to day, but whether we want to achieve the perfect twist-out or master the cut crease, we know exactly where to turn. These 9 black beauty bloggers highlighted are the cream of the crop when it comes to showing us how to enhance our natural beauty. Click through and see what we mean.

She’s charmed us for years not only with her makeup skills, but also with a wit and humor that keeps us coming back for more. She’s unapologetic, speaks her mind, and gives genuine no-bullshit reviews of all the products you’re curious about.
