They changed completely from when they started. Then again, money does that to anyone.

So much for make up gurus, all they do is advertise.. what ever happened to the purpose of their videos, which was making make up tutorials? I haven't seen that in, what, a month?

I like watching them, as they seem to be nice girls and I think they have good personalities.. But I do agree there are more talented gurus out there, who maybe deserved it more, but you can't deny there doing really well.

I could care less about these two as I am not in their demographics at all, but it is sad that anyone would think my not being a "fan" equates to hate or jealousy. I would not want to walk in NYFW but attending would be lush. The only thing which annoys me about YT is something no gurus can be blamed for. I'd like to see more variety. I sub to none, but on my homepage and the next few they have the same people all the time. Again, I don't hate, but I would like to see looks on different skintones, ages, etc because even if I can modify to suit myself, I'd like to visually see other people. Very pale to very dark and various face shapes because I learn how to up my skills as an MUA. Love the Pixiwoos as they do seem to be mature, professional and grounded.

I agree, I liked both of them back when they started. Now they're like walking QVC commercials. Come on now, Blair promotes tongue scrapers and deodorant. It seems to me that they're only in it for the money.

If you don't watch them or know about them, you obviously won't get it. There has been a lot of drama surrounding these two. I won't argue about their level of makeup skill, though I do find them to be just average.

My issue is that they've lied about getting products for free and given false reviews. If you think I'm saying that out of jealousy or to be a hater, that's fine. I'm sure if you search around a bit, you'll find what I'm talking about.

Good for them for getting ahead. Just wish they hadn't sold out so easily.

I don't think you girls are being jealous nor haters. In my case, I'm just stating how I feel, but on the other hand, I know where everyone else is coming from. I too know of all the drama surrounding them, and yea they may be frauds, but the fact is they appeal to a younger crowd who loves them, and companies are see that, and using them to push their products, which I've learned not to care about anymore.

im 20 and part of the younger crowd and i CANNOT stand them. i dont even think their makeup is nice. they dont blend well etc. on top of that, im not a big fan on michelle phan either. infomercial, much?

it does sadden me that the people with the most subscriber counts are NOT as talented as other gurus with 1/200th of their count... but oh well. good luck to them.

I'm 20 as well, and I don't consider myself part of that younger crowd. Yea we are barely out of our teen years but a lot of the people who watch then are *younger* like 12-17

i saw one of their tuts. and thought to myself "oh my?" and i didnt like it so i didnt sub. but i agree that there are more talented gurus in the area that would have been a great consideration. but it's not about talent anymore it's about who you know.

I agree about the talent part, I've always thought their makeup wasn't the best or even close to the best however they seem to be really nice girls who are down to earth. I AM in the "younger" crowd, thanks guys; however I watch petrilude and other "older more professional and talented" gurus such as MakeUpGeek and QueenOfBlending.

For someone who doesn't know about the drama behind Elle and Blair (Which I'm sure more than 75% of the combined 400k subscribers don't) who only judge them by their personality in their videos, they're really down to earth.

Blair is 17 I believe, same age as me, and she's done 100000x better for herself than I have so props for that. The girls know how to make money.

You know, I have to say that I really don't think their makeup is "bad." No, it's not "astounding artistry" like Petrilude's, nor do they do videos full of great tips like EnKore. It's all quite "common." But if you aren't used to makeup or like really down-to-earth stuff, their tutorials would be easy to do.

They sure do, props to them for that! Their arts and craft little website I'm sure gets tons of traffic from their subcribers
Didn't someone mention on here about the YTers ShaneDawson making tons of cash?
He's my age and he makes around 100k a year making videos! SHIT!!!!

My 15 year old cousin watches them regularly. I think they are perfect for her. I watch them too, but just out of curiosity. I think it's great they were given that fun opportunity!

^^ Yea, I can see that they would appeal to teens- like Seventeen magazine age girls

But their videos are a little too juvenile for an old hag like me.

I don't really care for all the negativity or jealousy going on in this thread. I mean, at least their getting off their asses and putting something out there. Who are we to judge whether or not they are deserving of such an opportunity? And my guess is, most who have a problem with it don't get that they have actually worked for it. I mean, they're doing something aren't they? Also, why bitch about it or say that they have no talent or that they're fake or that they know the right people? You don't have to watch. You don't have to like it. But at least have the courtesy of being polite enough to keep you mouth closed. I mean, if you don't like it, ignore it and move on. No harm, no foul and no one gets their feelings hurt. Just sayin'.

Gabi i agree, i find that alot of the un-parterned gurus are some of the best i must say lol. and it seem like everything they review is the "best". i like gurus who keep it real, and give info that has substance lol.
