The Week has listed three such Youtube Gurus here who have showcased their intelligent tips and tricks regarding makeup and hair. All the three have their own unique tutorials and are very different with their tips and suggestions. Nonetheless, these gurus are worth a watch. A word of caution though: their videos can be very addictive!
Farah Dhukai
Originally an Indian, Farah is one of the best Youtube beauty guru Nepali women can relate to. She uses traditional Indian recipes to help keep skin and hair healthy. She also has many videos of styling hair without causing much damage to it. Unlike many beauty gurus who concentrate on expensive makeup products in the market, Farah discourages her viewers and subscribers to use excessive chemical products in their skin and hair.
She confesses that she’s obsessed with homemade beauty remedies and is always looking for natural ways to take care of her skin and hair. The most important thing about her is that she suggests what’s suitable for her as her recommendations are alredy tried and tested. She also cautions viewers to modify the ingredients according to their requirements.
If you are a DIY kind of a person, this Youtube guru has it all. You can have a salon-type facial or haircut at home if you follow her tutorials. She has also broken down tips into parts, making it easier for viewers to understand in simpler ways.

Promise Phan
This beauty guru is also known as a human chameleon for her videos that show her transforming into various celebrities with the help of her makeup techniques. Mad Hatter, Angelina Jolie, Drake, Kate Middleton, you name it and Promise has made herself look like one in her videos. To top it off, she’s a Nepali, her original name being Pratigya Tamang. Michelle Phan, another Vietnamese-American Youtube beauty guru is her sister-in-law.
Promise’s popularity grew when she started posting her transformation videos in her Youtube channel. She has transformed to more than two dozen celebrities. Her makeup skills, which she claims to be naturally acquired through years of practice without any formal training, have the ability to leave you in disbelief when you watch her video for the first time.
She also has tutorials regarding celebrity-inspired makeup for specific occasions and different types of eyeliner shapes, among others. Her tutorials are now featured in Michelle Phan’s beauty network FAWN and MyGlam. The highlight of her videos is that through her transformations videos, she exhibits the correct ways of contouring to acquire different facial shapes.

Luxy Hair
Like its name suggests, the Youtube channel is all about styling your hair. The channel is hosted by two sisters, Mimi and Leyla, and they have tutorials for all different kinds of hairstyles from everyday ones to party buns.
This Youtube channel, also like the earlier two, is perfect for women who prefer to have their styling at home, or even by themselves. They exhibit easier ways to don a hairstyle which otherwise would have been possible only by visiting a salon. The sister duo have their separate videos that have simple ways of styling your bangs in five different ways, blow-drying for volume, which are important for any fashion enthusiasts but can go haywire if they don’t know the correct ways.
With their enthusiasm about hair and hair products, Mimi and Lela have also come up with Luxy Clip-in Hair Extensions, and they also have a number of videos featuring how to use and take proper care of hair extensions.
