If you’re a makeup enthusiast, these social media stars should be on your radar!
If improving your makeup skills is one of your goals for 2023, who better to learn from than the greatest beauty content producers on the web? Beauty gurus are popular not just on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, but even YouTube. Makeup tutorials weren’t always this popular, but thanks to YouTube Shorts, IG reels and TikTok videos, beauty gurus are reclaiming their rightful place as popular and trending subjects.
However, not all beauty gurus will catch your attention if you’re choosy, like we are. Personally, we favour individuals who can both serve lewks, and amuse. Honestly, there are some purported “beauty gurus” out there who spend more time chatting than properly blending their eyeshadows. So, if you’re looking for KOLs who won’t bore you, then here are some of the best and most knowledgeable beauty experts online that you simply must subscribe to.
Johnny Ross
We just loooove this person. We’re not exaggerating when we say that his makeup looks are incredible. Look at what his hands can do:

What we adore about Johnny Ross is that, in addition to his routine beauty demonstrations, he also does skits like “What It’s Like Working At Sephora/M.A.C.” that will have you swooning over both his acting and makeup abilities.
