The Scary Globe Of Beauty Vlogging

PS. I wanted to add together cute gifs to this post, but every bit I'm technologically challenged, it didn't work. Sorry.You'll receive got to facial expression at random photos from my Instagram instead.

I'm ever conflicted whether I should postal service so-called sentiment pieces from fourth dimension to time, or only stick to production reviews. I'm non going to postal service skincare advice, ever, because I am non a cosmetologist, or a skincare professional. And besides, alone a amount idiot would accept skincare advice from an unqualified blogger. Sadly, judging past times the materials seen inwards the beauty blogging world, at that spot are idiots aplenty out there.

I was asked today why I don't produce vlogs.
There's a curt response - I don't produce vlogs, because I'm lazy, in addition to a long response - because the beauty vlogging the world reminds me too much of high school, in addition to I'm way too one-time for that shite.

High schoolhouse was quite traumatic for me. It's non the fourth dimension of my life I desire to remember, or revisit, inwards whatever shape or form. No, give thank y'all you.

Kumamon agrees

There are some beauty YouTubers (of diverse levels of popularity) that I lookout adult man from fourth dimension to time, mainly to proceed upwards amongst novel production releases. But every bit they are paid for their opinions, I tend to plough downwards the book in addition to only lookout adult man the images. Convenient in addition to stealthy, if the alone fourth dimension y'all tin lookout adult man YouTube is at work.

Being a modest fourth dimension "beauty" blogger (in quotation marks, because I don't produce winged eyeliners in addition to lipsticks) amongst alone a handful of followers agency that I'm pretty much an outsider to the beauty blogging community. And every bit such, few people, if any, pay attending to what I receive got to say.

Surprisingly, that has its adept points. Because peeps similar me wing nether the radar of popularity, I tin live every bit obnoxious in addition to controversial every bit I desire to be, in addition to nobody's none the wiser.

We receive got a string of populace holidays correct straightaway hither inwards Nippon in addition to that agency that I receive got some fourth dimension to burn downwards on Instagram in addition to YouTube. And that's precisely what I was doing this morning.

There was this consequence called Beauty Week 2015 inwards Seoul, where the movers in addition to shakers of the beauty vlogging the world got together to eat, drink, facial expression pretty in addition to live merry.

And looking at the coverage of the consequence on Instagram in addition to YouTube, it became painfully obvious that the beauty vlogging the world is fifty-fifty to a greater extent than similar high schoolhouse than I thought.
You receive got the pop chicks, the prom queens, the return queens, the upper echelons of high schoolhouse life, err, pardon me, of beauty vlogging "community".

My truthful cat doesn't give a fark. She's smart.

For them, this is concern every bit usual. It's a job. They produce their job. And they are damn adept at it.
They worked difficult for their success in addition to hats off to them. They deserve to live admired for what they've accomplished.

Then y'all receive got the hangers-on. The adoring fans, who think that because their social media next powerfulness live inwards the depression five figures, they are hot shots, too. Newsflash lovelies, you're not. Not fifty-fifty close. While appearing friendly in addition to opened upwards on the surface, their usual adoration societies are basically the extension of high schoolhouse cliques. And tin live only every bit brutal.

And thus nosotros receive got the masses, the misfits, the wannabes, the outcasts, the outsiders, in addition to whoever else is left inwards the graduating class.

The plough over grade vloggers empathize that their undertaking is to mingle amongst the masses in addition to facial expression happy doing so. After all, they instruct paid for their presence. The minute tier, amongst its inflated feel of self importance, is a lot less accommodating.

While looking at the instagram photos from the event, it became painfully obvious that for the hangers-on icon is everything. And that's no surprise, they are clawing their way upwards the vlogging nutrient chain, thus for them icon equals credibility.

It got to the signal that it was painful to facial expression at.

Photos amongst the itsbubzes in addition to xsparkages of the the world were carefully tagged in addition to marked amongst everyone's instagram handles, thus they would live slow to discovery past times the of import people. Unlike photos featuring the happy-to-be-there-rubbing-shoulders-with-the-gurus members of the masses. And if said fellow member happened non to receive got the physical appearance of a high-powered beauty vlogger? Hahaha! You can't live serious!
You can't facial expression the pretty people to retrieve the handles of the non thus pretty people. An honest oversight? Who are y'all kidding!

All those deep thoughts made me hungry.

So at that spot y'all receive got it.

My long response every bit to why I am non interested inwards beauty vlogging. I desire no business office of that world.
I am happy existence a modest fourth dimension blogger doing the materials that modest fourth dimension bloggers do.
Small fourth dimension beauty bloggers tin live every bit controversial every bit they want. They produce non response to corporate sponsors in addition to receive got no ambitions of turning pro. (At to the lowest degree I'm speaking for myself here).

Basically, existence on the fringes of the beauty blogging community, nosotros tin nation whatever nosotros desire to whoever nosotros desire nevertheless nosotros want.

For me, to live a beauty vlogger in addition to live taken seriously based on my appearance, start I'd receive got to become on GoFundMe, or whatever it is, in addition to beg for coin for dental in addition to jaw realignment surgery. Preferably past times some miracle-performing Seoul plastic surgeon.

Hey, at to the lowest degree I receive got cute arm covers!

So that's the goal of that story.

What I tin produce instead is a podcast.
But what the hell would I verbalize about?
Any ideas?


PS. I am real aware that a similar pecking gild exists inwards the "traditional" beauty blogging community every bit well, it's non exclusive to vloggers.
