I really love PiinkBeauty. she has about 39k subscribers and she's NOT partnered. She's so down to earth and has a great personality. She says she doesn't want to be partnered because if she was then she wouldn't be able to use the music that she does in her videos, so essentially her passion > money which I think is great.

You let them place ads to the right of your YouTube videos in exchange for stuff like longer video lengths.

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'.

While I may not agree with what everyone wrote in this thread, I hardly think anyone here is being negative. Most are merely stating facts and opinion,to which everyone is entitled .
I don't think anyone in here is judging at all. And if you mean worked for it as in just making videos, and having people sponsor them, then yea them and a million other YTbers 'worked' for it.
If someone here doesn't like something, why can't they voice their reasons for doing so? That doesn't make sense at all.

I use to watch her videos, she's very random.
I also liked watching Arshia's videos too, she's a member here, but her videos come like once every 3 months, so I stopped watching.

agreed! i know for sure i'm not jealous at all or hating. Facts indeed were stated

I feel that their are a lot mean spirited things being said about people that can't defend themselves because they aren't here. How would you feel if this thread was about you and by chance you stumbled upon it or even had viewers pointing it out to you. Your feelings would be hurt by a lot of things said here for sure. And if you say they wouldn't, then you are lying to yourself. Like I said, if you don't like them, just move and keep you mouth closed. No harm, no foul.

When you put yourself out there on the net like that and twitter your whole life story to every1 its obviously going to happen ... And this is thread isn't even bashing them. And these girls are also the ones who would threaten a lawsuit to their subbies who would ask them about their real names and yes there is proof of it. All I'm saying is there are girls who are actually going to school, studying fashion to one day become it. It seems silly to me that two girls who make youtube videos got such a great chance but lets be real they don't know much. I feel really bad for girls who are trying so hard out there living and breathing fashion and never get a chance, just because there doing other stuff then making youtube videos. Some1 like dulce candy would actually appreciate the opportunity like fashion week since she's going to fashion school for it ...

Actually when you put yourself in the public eye, that's what happens. And actually, no my feelings would not be hurt, because I don't let other peoples opinions, nor FACT affect how I feel.
People here can say whatever they want, no one is being rude, using foul language, nor being disrespectful towards each other thank you very much.

I agree somewhat with Crystal. People are merely stating and wondering why other "deserving gurus" (which I mentioned if you bothered to read, that 90% of them have real jobs ) didn't get that chance, some people say they are lucky and more power to them, blah blah, which was all opinion. Now when we slightly changed the topic, everything stated was fact, these girls know what is said about them, they just choose to "take legal action" and block the "haters" who ask...

 

[Caderas]

i didn't mean to come off as a hater or 'jealous'.. but someone did make a good point that their audience is mainly preteens. and in my eyes, nyfw isn't preteen, so i can't make the calculation of why! like i said, not trying to be mean. seems like there is SO MUCH more talent of other guru's who would've jumped for the chance!

True, that's why I made a point in mentioning that a lot of the gurus who are actual real MUA that are on You-tube have their own gigs going on in their own cities, work with makeup companies anyway, and whatnot.
It also has to do with connections, which they seem to have a lot of!
It amazes me whenever someone disagrees or has a different opinion, they're automatically jealous or a hater

 

[hello_my_apple]

everybody talks about everbody, they talked about Jesus why are these gurus off limits?

The important part of being partnered IMO is making money. You get money for every specific number of views (or something like that) and whenever someone clicks on an AD on your page they also get paid.

You would wonder why someone with 267k subscribers like Blair would screen every comment before letting it appear on their page. "I want to protect my subscribers from foul language" that's all a fake mask IMO. Why screen it if you didn't want certain somethings showing, such as negative comments people may have for them regarding their lies, talent, or even giving out her personal info or linking other watchers to that blogspot about the truth. This is all just too fake for me.

Quoted for truth!
We are all entitled to our own opinions, what's the big deal if we're stating our opinion about these girls. I doubt they will ever read this, and even if they do so what? Not everyone in the world is going to like you, if you want to be successful you'll need to master the art of NOT CARING WHAT PEOPLE SAY. These girls have a lot of haters and I'm sure they've actually witnessed mean things said to them, and we're in no way being mean to them.

[MAC'sMyBF]

I think its a great accomplishment for such young girls so more power to them, eventhough I am not a fan of Blair, I feel like I am being attacked by a salesman at a car dealership when I view her vids. Like come on people she's promoting friggen' mini tooth brushes here? I do hovever enjoy Elle, she's a lot more genuine and although her application is not professional she has mentioned SEVERAL times that she is not a professional MUA nor is she trying to portray herself as one, she's great to watch if your someone thats just starting out with make up and need some basic instruction past just applying a wash of color on the lids, and her reviews are often helpful.

 

[enigmatic]

Being a Youtube "guru" doesn't make you eligible for a PRO card, right?

They both have pro cards and aren't MUA's, so I'm confused.

I've read on her page a while ago that she was indeed a "freelancer"

That's just people taking advantage of the MAC PRO card system. They're not the first ones to do it. And IMO in comparison with other brands, the pro discount for MAC is the easiest to obtain
