Imagine going a day without Google and YouTube. Sounds insane, right? Chances are that at least a handful of the hair and makeup tricks in your arsenal started with a YouTube tutorial. And don’t even get us started on how many times we’ve consulted Google for solutions to makeup mishaps (btw, diaper rash cream works wonders on reactions to new face products).
In fact, beauty videos have a total of 4.5 billion views on YouTube and that number has gone up 80% in just the past year. Literal insanity. 1.5 million beauty vids are uploaded to YouTube around the world each month. So if you want a more in-depth, visual answer to a beauty Q, you know where to go!
