We are sharing the tips, tricks and all the best there is to know about living your life beautifully. In this edition of the seriesBrit Morin of the Beauty Squad rounds up her favorite diverse beauty bloggers.

A couple of weeks ago, I shared my top 10 beauty vloggers on the web. While I was making my list, I came across many amazing women of color who are totally rocking the beauty scene online these days! Here are five of my favorites you don’t want to miss.

Milly Almodovar 

The blogger behind Beauty Logic also happens to be Cosmopolitan for Latina’s beauty editor and I’m kind of obsessed with her. Milly has definitely got all the ins and all the info, whether she's writing about great sunless tanners or offering a sneak peek into a celebrity’s beauty bag, I’m hooked.

Andrea Brooks 

I love the girl behind Andrea's Choice! Her personality is fun and captivating, and she follows and highlights trends while stressing that it's okay to create your own twist on them. Plus, her above Jessica Rabbit tutorial is kind of everything.

Rati Tehri Singh

Rati is the founder of the Indian Makeup & Beauty Blog. One of the biggest beauty blogs in the Middle East and India, it now features over 700 beauty bloggers in one! (I can’t even comprehend how much work that takes to manage.) It has fantastic tips for women of all cultures, including makeup reviews like this one for Maybelline Baby Lips Moisturizing Lip Balm.

Michelle Phan

I know, I know—I put her in my top 10 list from the last time, but Michelle Phan is truly one of the best in the online beauty biz. Her tutorials are super easy to follow and range from everyday makeup to celebrity “get the looks.” I specifically love the Angelina Jolie tutorial she posted recently. Who needs to dream when makeup can do the trick?!

Shirley B. Eniang

Shirley is a 22-year-old who covers a range of low- to high-end beauty products, clothing, organizing and so much more for her blog, Meek-n-Mild. She also has an insane YouTube presence and, coming from London, the best...accent...ever.

    I see what you mean, Sinoba. I just like more professional looking blogs with well placed ads and nice design. I think there are other blogs out there for women of colour (myself included) that are better managed and written, that’s all.

    I disagree with you Lisa. I love Andreas Choice and Beautylogic. As a Latina, these are two women I look up to big time. Andrea’s tutorials are so great. That Jessica Rabbit is everything and so are her other makeup tutorials! Milly’s blog is packed with information that has helped me. She doesn’t just do makeup reviews, but also talks internal beauty and health, etc. Like her blog post on how she cured her cystic acne was super helpful in helping me get rid of my own acne issues, and before her, I had never even heard of coconut oil. I haven’t read Indian Makeup and Beauty Blog, but will take a look after. Michelle Phan is epic!

    I agree with you on the Indian Makeup and Beauty Blog part. Its a poor excuse for a beauty blog. Having 700 bloggers contribution doesn’t count when you don’t have quality pictures or content.

    This is a very weird list. Only Michelle Phan qualifies as a blogger/vlogger who has in depth videos that are well made and professional. I agree with the comment above which asks about Promise Phan who is unbelievably talented and makes really good how-to videos.Beauty Logic and Indian Makeup and Beauty Blog are not designed blogs, cluttered with advertisements and badly written content. The focus should be on quality content not quantity – 700 bloggers’ contributions are useless if the quality is low. Have you even looked at the photos on Indian Make Up blog? They are really inferior quality photos.
