Among the never-ending amount of videos that appear on YouTube on a daily basis, the question that always seems to linger is “Who is the next big thing?” Well, as a YouTube connoisseur whose guilty pleasure is none other than binge-watching YouTube beauty guru channels, it’s my pleasure to share with you three YouTube beauty gurus who are gaining views by the thousands. Ever since I started my YouTube obsession in 2009 (I know—talk about ages ago), I have been a dedicated viewer who is constantly on the lookout for new channels. Now in 2016, there seems to be a new age of YouTube beauty gurus who are more different from the next. They’re creative, authentic, and vivaciously unregrettable women who capture the hearts of their growing subscribers with each video they upload. So, pop open a new window on your browser and get ready to watch each inspiring gal that we just can’t stop watching.

The saying “age is just a number” represents this babe beautifully, as she turned into an Internet sensation practically overnight. Mariya created her channel “Mariya.AE” in 2015 but has began uploading eye-catching videos over the past couple of months. Her most eye-catching one as of yet is one that you’ll most definitely need sunglasses for. Meet the mastermind behind the “gloing” trend, which is a full face of highlighters. Yes, you heard that right. Her video “Full Face Using Only Highlighters” was uploaded this past May and grabbed people’s attention from all over the world. Having been featured by BuzzFeed, Cosmopolitan, PopSugar, and even recreated by Jeffree Star himself, we’ve added Mariya to our must-watch list knowing full well that she’ll create another worldwide trend before we know it.
