15 Male Makeup YouTubers To Follow Right Now

Makeup artistry is a practice that we should be able to appreciate from folks of any sexuality, any race, any size, and any gender. Male makeup YouTubers, for example, are some of the best MUAs on the video-sharing platform. I mean, the first name that comes to my mind when thinking of any beauty vlogger is Jeffree Star, and I'm comfortable in the knowledge that I will never be as skilled as the androgynous makeup guru. Nor will I ever have my own hugely popular beauty line. I've come to terms with that, too.

What I adore about makeup is that it's accessible to anyone, on any budget or otherwise. Through YouTube, everyone with an internet connection can check out the wonders of makeup as well. Personally, I don't know that I ever would've learned to get my eyebrows on point without the guidance of a million makeup tutorial videos. And how would we know what palettes to buy without a million reviews from 100 different vlogging personalities?

We truly live in an era in which the internet can help us in any aspect of our lives. Not only do we get to learn from these male beauty vloggers, but we can help support and celebrate the men who aren't ashamed to embrace and share what they love. Here are 15 glorious guys to check out ASAP.
