Youtube beauty guru culture redefines beauty standards

Whenever we think of beauty, we generally think of someone or something that is the definition of flawless. I’m not sure if any of you have ever watched or have been interested in Beauty Guru’s on youtube but, I have and I’ve seen how they have twisted the definition of beauty and have made it their own.

By what I was saying earlier, they are not simply following the guidelines of someone who thinks they’re better than another. They do more than just show you the brands of different makeup and clothing, they actually give advice which is something that a lot of people should do on all social media platforms.
