Over the past few years, more and more creators have been growing their channels as beauty YouTubers, and more and more brands are interested in sponsoring videos by beauty YouTubers. This content appeals to viewers and allows brands to connect with new, relevant and targeted audiences to promote their products. The kinds of brands we see that are regularly sponsoring beauty YouTubers include Function of Beauty, Scentbird, and BoxyCharm.

We created this list by searching for beauty YouTubers in the ThoughtLeaders platform, which scrapes millions of pieces of content every day. These are the world’s top beauty YouTubers creators when looking at the total number of views their channels have received. This allows us to see the best beauty YouTubers at a glance from across YouTube.

Additionally, YouTube often uses very general categories. On our platform, we can use keywords like "makeup haul", "makeup tutorial", and "beauty routine" to drill into the content and what is discussed in each and every video (yes, we pull full video transcripts to fully understand how to contextualize each video.) This makes it much easier to cut through irrelevant content and instantly find the best beauty YouTubers.
