BEST YouTube Gurus Part 1

I am a huge fan of YouTube and all of its knowledgeable gurus. When starting to get into the retro style I didn't have any friends that were interested in the vintage look. With no one to teach me about hair and make up I started looking online. What I found were amazing tutorials with step by step techniques. It's one thing to read and look at diagrams but it's another to actually watch someone and listen to them as they guide you through the video. Lots of people ask me where I learned how to to my hair and make up and I always tell them YouTube.

(Here I did all my own hair and make up for Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Car Show #15)

YouTube is also amazing for product reviews. Now I never purchase anything make up or hair wise without looking up a review. These gurus are not sponsored (usually) by any of the companies they talk about and you can expect to get honest opinions. One of my favorite YouTubers is hollyannaeree. Every month she does a hits or misses video that usually can be a half hour. I love them because not only are they like an episode on TV but she covers all the bases from high end, to drugstore make up and hair products. She has great honesty and is very knowledgeable. 

One of my all time favorite Vintage gurus would be LisaFreemontStreet. She has taught me everything from cutting my 'Bettie' bangs to the history of make up from the 1920's to the 1960's. What I love about her is that she actually lives the lifestyle and truly is knowledgeable of everything vintage. She also does retro reproduction clothing reviews.This is very helpful because most of vintage repro is on online and you are not able to see or feel how something may fit. I have met her twice before durning Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekenders and she is just as sweet in person as she is on YouTube.

If you want to learn how to do a pin curl set look no further than ClassicRetroGlamour's YouTube channel. This is where I learned that just because I have ten tons of hair doesn't mean I cannot pin curl my head. She is the best.

For all your corset needs bishonenrancher is a must. Her channel is where I learned about what actually goes into corset training and what happens to your body. She reviews and makes her own corsets. She has done videos on different lacing techniques, along with videos on how to make your very own corset.
