Hey everyone,
Just a "chit chat" post about how I started watching beauty videos on YouTube.
It never really occurred to me to look on Youtube for videos about makeup and fashion. I read magazines and visited the websites of those magazines, but that was it.
So in April or May of 2008, I was searching Youtube for the latest episode of Gossip Girl.
And one of the most recent results was a makeup tutorial for the makeup of Georgina Sparks. I remember wondering to myself why anyone would actually go to the trouble of figuring out her makeup, but I was also really curious. So I clicked. And a few hours later, I had plowed through all of this girl's makeup videos. Her username was carrielizlacey, and her account has since been deleted, but she was my very first subscription. I made an account on YT so that I could subscribe to her.
For a while, I only watched her videos because I had no idea there were other makeup channels out there. But then I saw that carrielizlacey was subscribed to a channel called "MakeupGeekTV"... and.... well the rest is history :D
I often wonder what happened to carrielizlacey. I know it sounds weird, but I really liked her personality, and she wasn't bad at putting on makeup! And I wish she hadn't deleted her channel!
So who was your first subscription? How did you find the Youtube Beauty community?
