The amount of talent is appalling! It’s even more interesting when you find out that some of these ladies aren’t pursuing makeup as a full-time job but is still rocking different looks just by the stroke of a face brush.
Here are some bad-ass makeup gurus you have to follow on social media. Slay girls slay!

Malaysia’s makeup darling Mina is well known for many things besides makeup. She is vocal on Twitter about social issues such as mental illness, and has a fantastic sense of humour that you just can’t help but love her for being herself. Other than vlogs and quirky challenges, we love how she uses popular products to create looks that we can take inspiration from!

Well known for her gore and fantasy makeup transformations, Saraswati has come a long way ever since her looks went viral. She officially changed the game for fellow hijabsters that she even received coverage from The Daily Mail UK! Self-described as a lover of anything that doesn’t happen in real life, Saraswati is completely ethereal.
Follow her on Instagram to see more of the looks she’s created.

Long before her transformation videos became popular, Pony has always been posting tutorials on her YouTube channel which won over the hearts of many women for its easy-to-follow content and wide variety of looks (we’re totally spoilt for choices!) Now with a makeup line under her name, we revisited her old videos to show you a simple but cute look that you can recreate.

Her tutorials are perfect for those who are new to makeup and we adore how she is makes you feel like you are her best friend! Watch her achieve this look on how to enhance small/Asian eyes. Thank us later ladies!

6. Norianathefacedesigner
Noriana doesn’t call herself “the face designer” for no reason. With a list of clients like Yuna and Najwa Mahiadin, we’re sure her makeup game is like no other. This is the go-to person for glam looks and although she doesn’t make videos, Noriana provides makeup courses. If anything, her Instagram is a great place for makeup inspo and reviews.
See more of Noriana’s work here.

This London-based Desi goddess is a killer with her stunning looks and beauty tutorials that she’s picked up from her modelling days. She doesn’t post as regularly as she used to but a browse through her YouTube and Instagram shows you several looks that are worth copying especially for all the brown skin ladies out there!

8. Amanda C
Amanda often models her own looks (like the one on the top left) but most times, her clients can be seen on her Instagram page. We love how her makeup looks absolutely flawless! From her on fleek eyebrows to her skin, there’s a lot to learn from this babe. Other than being extremely photogenic, Amanda also has her own makeup studio where she provides makeup services and 3D eyebrow embroidery.

9. Fx. Cat
It’s impossible for face and body painter Neb Radzif to not attract viewers on social media with her list of photos that range from alien princess, Harley Quinn, to gory zombies. She takes visual effects to a whole new level but her more subtle looks are also perfect to recreate for music festivals if you want to stand out. We’re in awe of the magic Neb puts into her work.

10. Dita T
Some people are artists. Some, themselves, are art. This is the best way to Dita and her portfolio of glittery looks. She is a free-spirited mother who also paints alongside her makeup duties; all of her content can be found on her blog. If you’re into experimenting, take note from Dita and all her unique looks. She makes us want to pack on glitter to our faces!
Speaking of glitter, who doesn’t adore all things sparkly and pretty? Sigma just released a series of holographic lip glosses that has “need” written all over it. We love each and every one of these mesmerizing shades.
