YouTube Gets Glamourous

It seems to me that YouTube has become a place where you can not only watch the latest viral video that's been swirling around, but it has also become a place where you can learn how to give yourself a makeover. If you type in "African American Makeup" "Eyebrow Arching" or anything having to do with makeup in general you will hundreds of results from self professed and professional make up artists in addition to people who call themselves "product junkies". The most popular type of make up video on YouTube is the tutorial. Women show each other how to create certain looks or improve their technique at certain makeup application skills. There are also reviews of products that the YouTubers call "hauls" and contests to see who can come up with the best look according to a theme. I think this is an interesting new social network that has surfaced on YouTube of all places...one that I enjoy watching and interacting with myself!
