VOICE OVER: Rebecca Brayton
Welcome to the thirty-ninth episode of TopX, the http://www.WatchMojo.com show where we countdown the very best that YouTube has to offer! You can vote on future episode topics here: http://WatchMojo.comtopx Today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 YouTube Celebrity Makeup Tutorials.

#10: Selena Gomez Love You Like A Love Song Official Music Video inspired Hair & Makeup Tutorial
youtube.com/itsjudytime


- One of the most viewed celebrity makeup transformations on YouTube, this tutorial recreates the glam, retro look Selena wears in her music video, teased out hair and all. Judy Travis replicates the singer’s red lips, bright purple eyes and even the shiny gold outfit worn in the karaoke bar scenes. So ‘80s.
- If the comments are any clue, this video introduced a lot of fans to Judy’s channel, which features a variety of makeup, fashion and hair tutorials, and first impression reviews.
- The tutorial itself is easy to follow thanks to Judy’s simple style, and doesn’t involve crazy products or equipment – like, she uses a $15 drugstore curling iron. The end result is not something you’d wear to work, but it’s great for a night out dancing – or in Selena’s case, karaoke!


#9: Audrey Hepburn - Breakfast at Tiffany's Inspired Makeup Tutorial
youtube.com/lisaeldridgedotcom


- If you wanna channel your inner, or outer, Holly Golightly, you’re in luck. Lisa Eldridge, a professional makeup artist whose résumé includes celebrity magazine covers and red carpet events, gives step-by-step instructions to get that classic Audrey Hepburn look. Plus, British accent!
- Like Lisa says, this look is all about the eyes. The dramatic black liner and fake lashes make this iconic wide-eyed, vintage recreation come to life. And, if you’re no good at applying fake lashes, she’s got a how-to for that too! Plus, any excuse to wear a tiara, amirite?
-Unlike most YouTube beauty personalities, Lisa doesn’t only practice on herself; you may’ve heard of her clients Kate Winslet, Keira Knightley, One Direction… NBD. Her experience shines through in this video, as she gives a lot of background about the movie’s makeup and how it was achieved.


#8: Christina Aguilera Inspired Tutorial!
youtube.com/laurencurtis


- With pink streaks and platinum-blond hair, Lauren Curtis is a dead-ringer for Xtina, especially when she had the same dip-dyed hairstyle. And the bold red lips really make you do a double take.
- This beauty guru has a huge repertoire of looks on her channel, where she often experiments with different eye makeup but maintains her intricate, airbrushed technique. As one of the younger beauty gurus, she often uses affordable drugstore products over high-end ones, making it more attainable to recreate her looks.
- Her originality and relatable, girl-next-door quirkiness despite her massive success are some reasons why she’s the most-subscribed Australian beauty vlogger. She’s also amazing at what she does, as you can see here. Sure, as fans have pointed out, she does already look like Xtina, but it’s still quite something.


#7: Nicki Minaj & Beyonce Feeling Myself Inspired Makeup Tutorial !!!
youtube.com/msroshposh


- I’m definitely feeling this 2-in-1 tutorial, where this guru transforms herself equally well into both music divas with strikingly different looks. With this video, you can try out the high ponytail and Barbie pink lips if you’re feeling the girlier Nicki look, or try the shimmery eyes, loose waves, golden glow if you want to become Queen Bey.
- This Canadian freelance makeup artist has other celebrity makeup tutorials on her channel, including other Beyoncé looks, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner. And I really like the way her videos are set up, especially this one.
- She may have fewer subs than other YouTubers on this list, but she’s no less skilled. She gives great tips you can use everyday, she uses products you can find easily, and she becomes not one but TWO divas. Sold.


#6: Megan Fox Makeup Tutorial
youtube.com/CarliBel55



- Who doesn’t wanna look like Megan Fox? Carli Bybel (bye-BELL) nails the actress’ sultry makeup, and her recreation is anything but subtle. This smoky look’s got the works: dramatic eyes, sculpted brows, and a whole lotta contouring. A vampy red lip ties the whole effect together.
- This is one of the guru’s earlier tutorials but one of her best and most-viewed. With over 3 million subscribers, Carli has a variety of videos on her channel, mostly about makeup, but also ones about health and fitness, vlogs, and the occasional advice video.
- Carli’s part of the Style Haul network alongside some of the most-subscribed personalities on YouTube. As you can see in this video, her bubbly delivery and down-to-earth personality resonate across her channel, making her so darn likeable. Plus, that kinda transformation takes talent with a capital T.


#5: Lana Del Rey Makeup Tutorial
youtube.com/007MayaMia



- The key to this vintage look is the thick, defined winged liner, which Maya Mia has mastered. She shares her take on Lana’s ‘60s-inspired makeup, adding her own unique modern twist to it.
- Of course, you can’t forget the full lips, so Maya demonstrates over-lining with a light shade, as well as some other tricks that you’ll have to watch the actual tutorial to see. She puts her own spin on the singer’s seductive look, so it’s no surprise that this happens to be her most-vwed video.
- This native of Macedonia, who’s currently living and working in Tanzania as a makeup artist, has released her very own eye shadow palette in collaboration with Anastasia Beverly Hills (awn-ah-stawsia). With the skills on display in this video and her résumé, it’s hard to believe this makeup guru is completely self-taught.


#4: Kim Kardashian Makeup Tutorial New Brown Smokey Eyes
youtube.com/makeupbyevon


- Say what you want about Kim K, but she always looks perfectly put together and ready for her close-up. This beauty guru may look more like her sister Kourtney, but she has Kim’s makeup look down.
- Evon's channel features a lot of smokey looks, and this is no exception. This complex tutorial is condensed to six-and-a-half minutes, where she shows you how to get Kim’s dramatic and dark eyes, blended shadow and most importantly, extensive contouring that she manages to make look way easier than it is.
- This New York-based makeup artist may not have that many videos on her channel, but the ones she does have all have an airbrushed, yet fresh look to them, which is why this YouTuber makes it onto our list. That, and she looks exactly like Kim Kardashian.


#3: Cara Delevingne Makeup
youtube.com/michellephan



- A YouTube beauty mogul if there was ever one, Michelle Phan (fawn) has mastered the art of her craft, and of expanding her channel to become the most profitable network possible.
- In this video, Michelle transforms herself into one of the most popular supermodels today, Cara Delevingne, even recreating her defining feature: her full brows – quite a feat considering what she starts with. With no shortage of professional tutorials to choose from on her channel, we chose her Cara look since it’s more wearable than, let’s say, her Barbie or Sailor Moon transformations.
- One of YouTube’s classic success stories and a pioneer for all beauty YouTubers, Michelle’s partnered with huge brands, has her own makeup line, a monthly product sampling service, and released a book, paving the way for YouTube personalities everywhere. And this video is just one example of her talent.


#2: Miley Cyrus Wrecking Ball Video Makeup
youtube.com/kandeejohnson



- After a change in hair and reading endless comments comparing her to the controversial pop star, Kandee decided to fully become Miley’s doppelganger. No wonder this video has 3 million views! With natural brows and neutral makeup, the bright red lips are what pop, just like the music video.
- What makes this vlogger’s tutorials unique is that she sometimes includes unconventional techniques, like hair chalking – which is literally coloring your hair with chalk pastels. Also, her personality that shines through no matter what she’s doing.
- She’s one of the few beauty YouTubers who actually trained as a makeup artist before she started sharing videos online. This shows through in her techniques as she’s got an uncanny ability to completely transform her appearance in each video, while breaking it down simply enough for viewers to replicate.

#1: Angelina Jolie Make-up Transformation
youtube.com/dope2111


- Our number one spot has to go to this insanely talented artist, who’s known for intricate celebrity makeup transformations that render her unrecognizable. Promise, yes that’s her real name, focuses on contouring to match the features of whomever she’s trying to look like. In this video, she changes the shape of her nose, eyes, lips, and face to match the structure of Angelina’s, and she’s successful.
- This makeup expert actually happens to be Michelle Phan’s sister-in-law – but she’s in no way riding on her coattails. She can essentially turn herself into anyone in just a few minutes and makes it look like the easiest thing in the world. Her technique is precise, yet totally doable if you carefully follow her video.
- Promise’s channel includes many other celebrity transformations, and even has a princess makeup series. Her channel’s also filled with film and TV character tutorials, with everyone from Frozen’s Queen Elsa, to The Walking Dead’s Daryl Dixon. So, when you’re scrambling to find a DIY costume next Halloween, you know where to look. Ad if you just want to look glamorous, she can help you there too.
