Plastic Surgery among Makeup Gurus/Bloggers

Plastic surgery is getting more and more common, singers get it, actors, and even social media stars. There are several YouTubers and bloggers that have open admitted to have cosmetic surgery. It has become in fact pretty treading, among the bigger YouTubers. But what is the impact that social media plastic surgery is having? Also, what is the cost of getting plastic surgery in the social media world?
Why are so many social media stars getting plastic surgey? Why is it so treading?
To tell the truth, there no one reason for it. Each and every YouTuber is different, they also have there reason for getting something done. I think the reason why so many people are open to it now is, because there are a number of YouTubers open about it.
  Well honestly, there is a lot of negative stereotypes around any social media star getting work done.
This negative view has an impact on social media stars. A lot of gurus that are open about there plastic surgery is trolled. This trolls try and shame the star into feeling guilty about their choice to have surgery, making a lot of other gurus wonder if it's a good move to get any work done.
I personally don't understand why trolls attack those who are open about their plastic surgery experience. When it comes to plastic surgery, I am open to the idea of people doing what makes them happy, as long as if safe. Furthermore, everyone should at least have the option of personal choice. They shouldn't be trolled, because they got plastic surgery.
With that being said, I also think these stars should be open and honest about having work done, maybe they shouldn't have to go into in-depth details, but they should let the younger viewers know that the have alter their appearance for personal reasons. They should address their viewers, not feel shamed into hiding their changes.

Will this cause self esteem problems or unrealistic ideas of beauty for younger viewers that idolize them? What impact will this have?
I personally don't think so, as long as they address it correctly. Let their viewer know their personal reason for getting the surgery and still encourage the view to love themselves.
As for the impact, it will have is yet to be seen. I don’t think viewers are going to rush out and get plastic surgery get because someone they like on social media did.
I don’t think that getting plastic surgery equal more expose in social media. In fact in has it’s downsides as well as its perks.
YouTube stars and bloggers are held to difference standards then other stars. A lot of viewers feel that social media stars are more realistic more like themselves. Yes, reliability is important for a social media star. Reliability is a huge factor in the reason a lot of them become famous. So, some viewers might become betray by the YouTube getting plastic surgery. 
Understand the idea that they are a brand and how that effects how plastic surgery might be different for them.
However... as their fame grows they want their image to grow. It is even possibly might receive discount for the procedures that they get and intern they endorse the surgeons that perform them. Discounted prices make it very tempting to get cosmetic surgery.
Or perhaps they had planned long ago to get the cosmetic procedure done. Whatever the reasoning behind the choice to have cosmetic surgery, should be a personal choice. They have no obligation to the viewer to not have cosmetic surgery. It is a part of their own feel will.
Why it’s important not to let plastic surgery affect you as a viewer.
I think it's wrong for a fan to unsubscribe, because their social media star had cosmetic surgery. Especially, if it's one in the makeup or guru beauty category,  because on a daily basis the fantasy of the individual altered their appearance whether it is with cosmetics, lashes or circle lenses. 
Yes, plastic surgery is more permanent then of course make up that you can’t just rinse off. But if you're a fan of the person before and their outward changed, it shouldn't affect how you view them now!
At the end of the day it’s their own person choice.
Thank you, 

Guys Makeup

It maybe seem a bit taboo for any guy to wear makeup, but why should girls be the only one? Guys can get great benefits from wearing makeup just like girls. It has nothing to do with sexual, it just a great tool to help you look your best. Even male stars wear makeup on movie sets to look their best, and no one was complaining at a hot Johnny Depp as a Pirate.

Foundation: Great for covering skin imperfections! With a male foundation you want it to be natural, not matte or shimmery. (Unless you are going for the Twlight look. lol)
BB cream can be a great foundation for men. It's helpful in covering problem areas, but keep the skin natural looking. It just a plus that it's beneficial to the skin.

Concealer: If you have a facial hair it's a good idea to try a concealer instead. The concealer is more of a spot cover up, and will be easier to apply.

Eye shadow: A little dark eye shadow around the eyes is a great way to had a little edge. It can enhance a rocker look or alternative. It gives a softer look than Eyeliner.

Eyeliner: A little more detailed and harder lines, it can also be used to give that rock star look or pirate, RRrrr!

Lip Balm: Health for your lips, sometimes those girl brands are really just great for your lips.

It's important to remember when wearing makeup to keep your skin clean, wash it in the morning and before bed. You don't want to go to sleep with makeup on your skin. It's a no-no, it's causes break outs.

Guys can wear makeup, too!

L'Oreal Excellence HiColor Red Review

HiColor has become a staple in many do-it-yourself hair dyes. Known to turn dark-haired to light hair or getting great pigmentation, It claims to lift dark hair 3-4 levels with no pre-lightening. HiColor is a great way to avoid bleaching your head. It's been reviewed several times among the YouTube community, so I thought for myself I would give it a try.

I decided to go with L'Oreal Excellence HiColor Red. Due to the fact that I'm currently a redhead with Manic Panic and Jamz.
I was looking for more permanent bright solutions for my red hair. They do offer other colors, such as blonde, magenta and so on. I was worried about dye my red with a dye made for dark hair, because my hair is bleached blondish. (I say the ish part because it has some red and pink left in from the Panic Manic.)

For the price wasn't very expensive. For L'Oreal Excellence HiColor I went to Sally's and got good price. HiColor is somewhere between $8-$10 price range. We all know how fast red haired can fade, so having it for a inexpensive price is a great benefit of the hair dye.

You do however have to purchase volume developer. Depending on how light you want to red or how bright depends on the level of developer you should use. Most people from what I noticed tend to use the 30 to give a bright red color. Being bleached before and semi dyed red/pink, I decided to go with the 20 developer. I didn't want to overly process my already processed hair.

This hair dye was simply to use. Really easy to apply. I would recommend it to a friend it has great pigmentation. It is great way to avoid having to use panic manic and getting a permanent result. It's a lot healthier then normal box and can achieve a brighter look.

A week later and I still love the color, there is a certain way it highlight in the light that I just love it's hard to describe, but light reflexes off of the hair in a pinkish manner. The pink tint might have a lot to do with previous color of my hair. It's just so vibrant I can't get over it.

I still refresh my hair with a semi dye, hey got to use up that Manic Panic and Jamz right? Anyways, I mixed a little of the semi dye with my hair oils. It works great and give it a unique look.

As of now this is my favorite red hair dye. I would recommend it to anyone.

Thank you for your time,
