Social Media + Makeup = Easy Access Beauty

Lets take Social Media giant Youtube for example: You know, the beauty of youtube, and the web for that matter is you can research the crap out of your next makeup purchase, find inspiration from photos with just a few keywords, AND learn step by gorgeous step in the comfort of your own home how to put all that stuff on! You don’t have to be set upon by the vultures that work the cosmetics counter. You don’t have to find a sister or a best friend to sit down with you. And you don’t have to subject yourself to hundreds of dollars of product and tools just to have your face break out in hives the next morning.

You just search and then press play.

God it’s glorious.

There is a lot to choose from in the big Social Media ocean however. So I’m here to pick out the pearls of wisdom and awesomeness for you. And to start I’ve got a makeup guru that kicks ass in so many ways: Justine Metz. She’s wicked, she’s willful, she probably thinks you’re an idiot and not just with your makeup choices. All these are reason to look, listen, laugh, and learn.

Today I got my first snarky comment. It was in reference to a recent video I posted on youtube and basically said that I looked funny. Who was the texty offender? A 19 year old girl that seems to enjoy leaving a trail of poo all over youtube apparently. When she isn’t lauding the godlike powers of her favorite hair straightener that is. I didn’t feel butthurt about it and instead have decided to spread some web 2.0 love by leaving super positive comments for the videos she shat on after my own. Videos put out awesome and courageous gals that do their part in beautifying their own corners of the web. They deserve major kudos for being creative instead of crap comments flung by anonymous “users”.

In the meantime I am keeping my eye on ms. turd talker just for amusement sake…
