During my freshman year of high school, I discovered the beauty community on YouTube and fell in love with it! Watching other girls discuss fashion and beauty inspired me to start making videos of my own. Around age 16, I finally did it!
What's your philosophy?
Bringing the inner beauty that exists in all of us out.
2/5The beauty guru spills on building an audience of loyal viewers.

Nars Laguna Bronzer, Maybelline New York Volum’ Express The Falsies Mascara, and I would buy Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in Soft Nude a thousand times over!
What’s your favorite hairstyle to create?
It changes often, but my current obsession is a sock bun. It so looks polished and classy—no one will ever know you spent under a minute on your hair!

LoLuFullyLoaded and Meghanrosette are my favorites. Not only are those two girls my fashion and beauty inspirations, but they are so real. They truly express themselves.
What’s in your makeup bag right now?
I like to just keep my essentials in my purse. A powder is crucial for oily-skinned girls like me, so I keep my Maybelline New York Dream Matte Powder in there. Also, my lips are constantly chapped, so I keep my Maybelline New York Baby Lips in Fruit Punch handy. It’s so moisturizing and gives you a little color!

My Kylie Jenner Inspired Curls hair tutorial was probably one of my most difficult. Not only am I not the best at curling my hair, but I can never get my hair as perfect as the Jenner girls.
Do you have advice for a reader who wants to start her own channel?
Make videos because you enjoy it. I love fashion and beauty, so vlogging about those things comes easily. Maintaining a channel is hard work, but it allows me to express my creativity and challenge myself.
