I’ve never done makeup before, even my own, but I’d like to start learning. The sheer amount of options is a bit overwhelming though. What are your favorite tutorials (YouTube videos or channels, etc) for makeup, especially the basics?

Sorry I’m late to this thread - I haven’t been online as much recently. But makeup is one of my favorite things!
If you want simple basic makeup for everyday wear, try Angela Bright. She’s great about explaining exactly what she’s doing, which products and brushes she’s using, and lately she’s in kind of a neutral, simple makeup phase, so her looks are pretty approachable.
For simple makeup, people also seem to like Jen Phelps and Hannah Louise Poston.
And then if you’re feeling adventurous and want to try colorful fun makeup, try Angelica Nyqvist. I really love her tutorials and even if you’re not so into bold colorful looks, her techniques are still useful to apply to more simple neutral looks.
These are all white women, which is helpful for me because I’m Casper the Ghost pale. But if your skin is deeper in tone, their techniques might not show up so well on your skin. Here are some channels by women of color that I see mentioned pretty often. I can’t vouch for them because I haven’t tried them, but maybe you’ll find them helpful.
