I still remember my first ever beauty video on Youtube. It was Michelle Phan's Barbie makeup tutorial. Back then I knew nothing about makeup and only own a compact powder and a colorless lip balm. My friend showed me the video and I was totally hooked. I watched each and every single video by Michelle Phan after that and here I am now, owning a beauty blog. Thank you Michelle Phan, you're always the number one in my heart!

But now that she is retired as a beauty vlogger, I have moved on to some other beauty youtubers. Not a lot of them are trustworthy considering Youtube is a great place to make money, therefore a lot of reviews can be biased or just merely out of sponsorship. I have no problem with sponsorships, I think they are completely fine. I mean, you gotta make money to survive anyway, and being a youtuber is really not easy at all, so I have really high respect for people who have make it as their full time job. Above all, integrity is where the line is set.




She is the most trustworthy person that I go to when it comes to makeup reviews. She is brutally honest with her reviews and therefore she sometimes get backlashes from people and companies, but hey! It's not called a review if you only have nice things to say. If your product is crap, she's gonna say it's crap, with justifications. And so far, I completely agree with her reviews comparing to my own experiences with products. I also love the fact that she is up to try every makeup brands as much as possible, from the most affordable wet & wild to the most boujee brands like Lamer. From Western to K-Beauty, she got it all covered. She literally post every single day too! I can't believe the amount of dedication and hard work she put onto her channel.


I also feel like Kathleen is one of the most genuine youtubers with her makeup and skincare reviews. I have found a lot of my favorite makeup products through her recommendation so I can totally tell ya you can believe her. A lot of them are from drugstore too so that is a steal! She loves a lot of afforfable products like Colorpop, Physicians Formula, Elf, so her channel is very good for my pocket currently as a student lol! Most importantly, she is so random and cute it is very interesting to watch her reactions to products haha.


Her makeup skill is on another level. She really knows what she is doing and it is always more about techniques and skills than products itself. I learned a lot of korean style makeup from her and she is one truly talented artist I have to say. The result of her makeup tutorials are always looking so perfect and on point that you just wanna recreate the look after watching, and so far, I have failed miserably a lot of times hahaha. And because she is so great with her techniques, if I see her using a certain products for certain makeup look, I know I must have it too, lol. She sold me a lot of products hehe.


Sunny got two channels, Sunnydahye and SunnydahyeIn. She is a korean that can speak Indonesian language, and lately she has been focusing more on her Indo channel but I am not complaining! That is because I am a Malay, and Malay and Indo language are similar so I have no trouble understanding her. Her videos are very entertaining and she is super adorable and funny. I watch her mostly for her korean beauty reviews, and because she sometimes have great recommendations for Indonesian weather, which is similar to Malaysian weather, I NEED TO WATCH HER. A lot of our local youtubers do videos about makeup, which I have watched a lot from western youtubers anyway so I watch Sunny for skincare benefits.


Morgan's channel is where I refer to the most when it comes to comparing makeup products. She is super detail and hardworking with her comparison and review videos it feels like an investigation lol. She does more videos on K-Beauty so if I am feeling indecisive about choosing a cushion foundation, beauty blenders or sleeping masks, her channel is where i go to. She always does super close ups to her skin so that you can see every details on how the product is working. And don't let me start with her skin....She is a glowing goddess. Her skin is so perfect it looks like porcelain! No pores and literally glowing. Such a beauty.


I have watched her since high school, about some time after discovering Michelle Phan. That is almost 10 years that I have been following her. Before she even got married, and not she has got 2 children! Wow how time flies. She post more on her vlog channel now compared to her beauty channel, but I still watch all of her beauty videos. She is one of the youtubers that I have no problem trusting. But most importantly, I love her for her positivism and she always gives good advises. One of my personal favorite quotes that have come out from her mouth is : "Tea is meant to be consumed, and not spilled." She was actually talking about the Youtube drama that was going on between Jeffree Star and those people you know whos.



I love his simple, short yet compact and very informative videos. He gives amazing makeup tips and tricks and you can definitely tell that he is a very professional makeup artist. I have tried a lot of tricks that he teach on his videos and so far it has been giving me impressive results. If you're looking for makeup tricks like how to use your brushes or how to make your makeup last longer, I definitely recommend you to subscribe to his channel. Psst, he is such a beautiful guy too ;)



I gotta admit, I do not watch her for her beauty videos, but i watch her videos for her being her! I love her so much that I just need to include her in this post. She is the cutest, most adorable, genuine little creature you will ever see lol. She is like a little kid trapped in an adult body. So pure and innocent. I love watching her house decorating videos, but she do upload beauty videos too if you're interested in that department. And her relationship with her husband? Ugh, to die for. They are the cutest couple I swear. Been following them since they were dating and I literally cried when they got married hahaha.

And those are my top list of beauty youtubers! You must be wondering, where is Jeffree Star or Nickitutorials? Well, I do subscribe them, but I don't watch them as much because I prefer shorter videos. Jeffree's and Nicki's videos are too long for me and even if I do watch them, I'll skip a lot lol. Still love them though!

In fact, I am subscribed to more than 150 channels on Youtube. Other youtubers that I love watching includes Wengie, Heyitsfeiii, itsJudyslife, meejmuse, Joankim and list goes on and on. Crazy how much time I spent there lol, but they are mostly for education purposes :P

A lot of my friends and family members keep asking me to start up my own youtube channel, but honestly, I am just not feeling it yet. I don't like to expose myself too much in public, but I still love sharing my experiences and thoughts so blogging is perfect for me for the time being. Maybe someday I'll consider Youtube? Maybe, who knows what the future has for me hehe. But yeah for now, I love blogging! I hope you guys love reading my posts too :D Till then, byebye and have a good day!

In my last article, we discussed on 6 Benefits on Beauty Sleep. But how do we actually make sure that we get all the benefits that beauty sleep have to offer? Keep on reading to know!

1. Sleep early


You won't get the same benefits of beauty sleep when you sleep from 2am and wakes up at 8am as when you sleep at 10pm and wakes up at 4am even though they both total up to 6 hours of sleeping. Our body has its own time to repair what organ at what time, and not sleeping at the right time will interrupt each process. So sleep early!

2. Sleep In The Dark

You HAVE to sleep in total darkness, I can't emphasize this one enough. Sleeping with lights on, or with fairy lights is actually dangerous for your health and can lead to cancer. Light too, can disturb your biological repairing system. I really hate it if I accidentally fall asleep at night without turning off the light, because I can literally feel my body feel more sluggish and tired when I wake up versus when I sleep in total darkness. If you're afraid of the dark, try setting a timer on your light so that it will be automatically turned off say at 11pm when you're already in deep sleep.

3. Sleeping Mask


Take a full benefit of your sleep by laying on good skincare before you sleep. Try a sleeping mask so that you'll wake up with a plumped and hydrated skin. Take this opportunity to really treat whatever needs to be treated as your skin is repairing itself. Your skincare products are just going to boost up these processes and work so much better.

4. Makeup Remover


NEVER EVER sleep with makeup on. That is the worst thing you could ever do to your skin. Keep a makeup remover towels on your bedside table on days when you're super tired and don't really want to spend time on full skincare routine. At least take the makeup off. Sleeping with your makeup can cause clogged pores and bacteria build up all on your pillow cases. Yikes!

5. Avoid drinking Water


Staying hydrated is number one key to beauty, but it is not necessarily beneficial if you drink 90 minutes before you sleep. You want to avoid drinking because it can cause water retention, hence causing puffiness on your face and eyes. See, plump and puff are definitely different. That is why it is advisable to massage your face upwards when applying moisturizer in the morning to reduce puffiness.

6. Use Silk Pillow Cases

Cotton pillow cases are actually harsh for your hair. They can cause frizziness and more prone to breakage. Silk are so much better to avoid these problems and to maintain overall health of your hair. Of course, it is good for your skin too! Especially if you're a side sleeper like me. Sleeping on silk pillow cases is said to be a good prevention from wrinkles thus preventing signs of aging as it is so much gentle on or skin versus cotton.

If you're reading this after 10pm, I would suggest you turn your device off and read my article tomorrow morning. Beauty sleep is called beauty sleep for a reason; because it's real. A test is done by the LadyLike crews where they get different hours of sleep to see if there's any difference in their overall appearance and experience the next morning. If you haven't yet, you should totally check out the video down below :

Want to know the right tricks for a flawless makeup? Keep on reading!

1. The Skin


The most important thing is of course, a clean canvas. You may apply a huge amount of makeup and still look more natural than other people who did only concealing on certain areas, just because you have a flawless, clear skin. I mean, you can probably hide scars, but you can't hide bumps.

Therefore, I would recommend to really invest in a good skincare routine and foods before your makeup products. Why foods? It is simple. You're what you eat. Load yourself with healthy snacks like dried berries and fruits instead of those unhealthy chips. Add more vegetables in your daily meals to really get all the good vitamins. If you're someone who hates eating vegetables, try green juice instead. Simply blend the greenies of your choice with your favorite fruits such as strawberries, apples, and mangoes. You'll feel so much better inside out.

2. Primer


A primer is a necessity for a long lasting flawless makeup. But a good primer isn't necessarily the most expensive one from a high end brand. The key is to find the right one for your skin type. If you're an oily person, search for primers with 'matte' or 'shine-free' labels. If you have dry skin, search for 'moisturizing' or 'dewy' primers. Meanwhile, if you have trouble with enlarged pores, simply search one that is specifically for pores filling. I promise you, it will make such a huge difference on your makeup performance.

3. Undertones


Finding the right foundation shade is one thing. Finding the right undertone for your skin, is another thing. I see a lot of beautiful girls with ashy foundation color that cringes me. It's okay girl! Step by step, and practice makes perfect. I'd suggest that you go to MAC or Estee Lauder counter to get analysed by their beauticians to know accurately your shades and undertones. Though, I know a lot of young girls might be afraid to walk into those counters, I've been there. There are few ways to determine your undertone, but I will teach which I think the easiest.

Basically, there are 3 undertones; Pink, Neutral and Warm. A lot of us Asian  are born with warm undertones. To know yours, look at the veins or your wrist under sunlight. If it's blue, you have pink undertone. If it's green, you're warm. And if it's in between or a little hard to tell, you're most probably neutral. Foundation brands like Maybelline and Too Faced usually will insert these labels like 'warm sand' or 'cool rose' so it's easy to tell. By doing this, your foundation will look more like skin than a layer of mask, thus enhancing your natural beauty, looking more flawless.

4. Color correcting


Maybe not a lot of us have time for color correcting every single day, but for important events, you do want to look flawless for the photos, right? Color correcting before concealing will come in handy. I will talk about the 3 common colors used by makeup artists.

•  Orange

Use this color to brighten dark areas such as under your eyes. It will make such a huge difference than using concealer alone. For deeper skin tones, you can use orange or red, and for lighter skin tones, use peachy,  less vibrant orange color corrector.

• Green

Green color corrector will come in very handy on days when you have acnes or red marks on your face that you want to cover. The green will neutralize redness so your acnes and pimples won't be too obvious.

• Purple

Purple is used to brighten hyperpigmentation or dullness of your skin. People usually use this color to look brighter and healthier since it helps to neutralize dull yellow undertones on light to medium skin tones.

5) Setting spray



Setting sprays are life savers! If you've never tried one, you definitely should now. Are there times when you feel like you've powdered too much or when you stay under the air conditioner for too long that your foundation starts to cling onto your dry patches? Setting mists or sprays will definitely save you from that. Not only it makes your makeup looks a lot more put together and flawless, it will also help to make it lasts longer too. Remember, primer is the starter, and setting spray is the finisher! A very good setting sprays are the ones from Urban Decay.

Those are my 5 tips to flawless makeup! Honestly, there are a lot more out there, but these are the ones that I think will be the basics that are really going to help your makeup, especially if you're just beginners and trying to learn things. Until then, good luck!
