Emily Eddington for Beauty Broadcast!
To kick off my series of "Passing the Link Along," as I've decided to call it, I'm going to talk about my favorite beauty guru on YouTube: Emily Eddington.
I can't remember the first video of Emily's that I watched, but whatever it was, it must've made an impression. I've been watching Emily for years now. It just really troubles me that I can't remember when I first found her. I just like origins and beginnings for some reason. It was after she had moved into her house and made videos in the pink room, I know that. So maybe 2010? Probably. Being a sophomore in high school, that was when I was starting to scour the internet for help with makeup.
Whatever she may have helped me with at first, she continues to be just as helpful today. Emily has a way of delivering the information you need about a product or technique with a happy frankness (if that's even possible--she is making me invent terms!). She will tell you the pros and cons of a product, and she's not shy about it. But don't get me wrong when I say that. She's not one to over prove her point; once the point is made, it's made. When I say she's not shy about her opinion, I just mean that she's honest even when she's sent a product by the company. I feel like some people feel like they need to be nicer about how they feel when they get a free product to try out. Sugar coating a negative opinion doesn't help the company improve their product, and I'm sure that's what a lot of companies want to do (but maybe some don't, I don't know).
Why to watch: She has a very friendly and bubbly personality that shines through in all of her videos. She is able to deliver to-the-point information while remaining entertaining.
More about Emily: She used to work as a morning news anchor. Her approach to beauty vlogging is probably greatly influenced by her career as a news anchor. Recent circumstances have allowed her to move away from that job and commit her time more fully to beauty blogging and video making. I'm obviously thrilled because that means more videos more often. I'm also really happy for her because this allows her to have a normal sleeping schedule, and do more traveling to see friends and family. I'm so happy for you, Em!
Links: This beautiful person has a YouTube channel and blog under the same name--Beauty Broadcast. Her YouTube username is emilynoel83 and the channel can be found by clicking here, while you can go to her blog by clicking here. She also has a Facebook page for Beauty Broadcast, along with numerous other social networking tools that she uses to keep her fans up-to-date on new videos and blog posts. You can find all those links on her blog and in the description bar of most of her videos.
That's pretty much it! I've added the links in the sidebar for easy access, and I'll continue to add links as the "Passing the Link Along" series continues. I hope this was helpful.
Merry Christmas (in case I don't get a chance to post again before or on Christmas), and Happy Holidays to you all!
