Шаблон:Short descriptionA beauty YouTuber is an individual who creates content for YouTube, publishing videos in the realm of cosmetics, fashion, hairstyling, and nail art.[1][2] In 2016, there were more than 5.3 million beauty videos on YouTube, with 86% of the top 200 beauty videos created by individual beauty vloggers, as opposed to marketers using the platform to promote cosmetic brands.[3][4]

In 2015, there were more than 45,000 YouTube channels specializing in fashion and beauty-related content.[5]

The most common hashtags used on YouTube are #makeup and #skincare in beauty influencer content.[7]
In both the United Kingdom and the United States, beauty vlogging is a rapidly-growing industry.[8]
Impact
Beauty YouTubers provide viewers with life advice, beauty tips, personal stories, comedy, fashion advice as a way to relate to their audience. With their content, cosmetic companies are provided feedback from both the beauty vlogger and their viewers on their products.[9]
One of the most popular categories of video is “Get Ready With Me" (often shortened to the acronym "GRWM"). These videos are tutorials that demonstrate the beauty YouTuber's daily beauty routines as they get ready in the morning, prepare for an event, or get ready for sleep.[10]
