When I did rush to put up a tutorial, I would constantly get comments like something was bad about it but the tutorials I didn't rush, those type of comments were rare. I was busting my ass in my classes because I am trying to get into graduate school when I finish undergrad, so I'm sorry if making YT videos was not on my top priority list (this isn't directed towards you, just in general). By the end of it all, I was just so burnt out, it was unbelievable -- I didn't feel like doing anything, yet alone put on makeup. It was all worth in the end because I made Dean's List and I am proud I plowed through it all, even with the negativity.

Besides, the people that would write comments like that were the main reasons why I did update videos and I would personally email them and let them know as to why I haven't done a video in awhile. Even so, I still kept up to date with answering a ton of emails pretty much every day. So really, people need to sit down and think how much work goes into creating tutorials on the internet. . .on top of your offline life.

YT videos were not my career and I would never use them as such. They were meant to be fun and informative but like I said before, the fun was taken out of it by some ruthless individuals. Ah well, I believe in karma and all but I really hope they never have to go through what they put me, and others I knew very well on YT, through.


In spite of all this, I thank you all so much for the supportive comments. :] This is why I love Specktra and will probably never leave this beauty forum. You ladies are so awesome and are truly some great motivating factors for me in possibly doing it again.

I never found this to be the case, personally. I'm subscribed to a few YT gurus "of color" and for me it makes no difference what their skintone is. I watch videos mainly to pick up new techniques, not really so much for actual color combinations and whatnot. I don't understand why it can't be the same way reversed, why a woman of color can't watch a video from a white person and get equally inspired by a technique or overall look. Just adjust the looks or colors to your taste or your skintone?

I can understand where you're coming from, but colors can easily be adjusted, it's all about seeing techniques and how a person does things, no?

Just my 2 cents.

I agree as I usually watch yt videos for technique as well... and maybe a little on color combos. But, I've found that many woman of all colors try to completely follow the tutorials to a T, right down to the actual colors and brushes used. So, for people who use the tutorials in that manner, it is easier seeing someone who more closely resembles you. Also, WOC are more likely to have tutorials on issues that may be more specific to WOC like hyperpigmentation for example.

I also noticed that there are other women of color on YouTube who post and was wondering if there are any standouts or favorites that other members have come across. And by all means, when I say women of color I do mean Latina/Hispanic, Southeast Asian, Asian, and others as well. I would love to see other faces of color represented.

Try these! They are my faves:
Fafinettex3 (Asian) This girl is the cutest little thing EVERRR!!
QueenofBlendingMUA ( Asian but looks Mixedrace/latino)
DRBrooklyn730 (Ebony)
KissMyLipstickBeauty (Latino)

I agree, while I first look to (skilled) ladies with similar skin tones, that would leave me very limited pool to learn from. I value a host of ladies who are much lighter than I and have been able to learn a lot. Where would that leave someone like EnKore, who I have learned loads from? He is neither a lady, nor a person of my complexion. As I have gotten more skilled, I've also become more open.

I'm so glad to one of many woc on youtube doing tutorials. It important for us to be able to see great looks on people close to our complexion. I have to admit that it does help me to get a better concept of colors and some looks when watching some closer to my complexion do them.

Thanx ladies!!!

I do look at pictures of women of all skintones for inspiration, but I personally prefer looking at tutorials by WOC. I'm one of those people who copies the tutorial down to the colours sometimes, especially for tutorials about highlighting, getting a bronzed look, etc. :x
