Guess who’s been binge-watching Emily Noel’s Beauty Broadcast YouTube channel?
You guessed it: me!
Among the many reasons I love her stuff — her mad makeup skills, her cute accent, her fervor for the felines, etc., etc. — the biggest reason is how well she explains why she does what she does and likes what she likes.
I love her explanations! She’s sensational at describing exactly why she chooses certain products or prefers particular tools or techniques, and she’s simultaneously succinct and chatty. I always feel like I’m learning something new.
I really noticed how well she describes things in the video at the top: Makeup for People Who Don’t Like Doing Makeup, about which I said, “Damn, she’s good,” the first time I watched it. Emily really breaks it down — why she recommends IT Cosmetics tinted moisturizer (wide shade range, flexible coverage), how to apply it, why she prefers to blend it with a particular e.l.f. brush instead of using her fingers, and why she likes to use another brush to apply the bronzer.
She’s polished, thorough and logical, and yet it never seems like she’s reading from a set of Ikea instructions on how to build some shelves. Or like I’m being talked “at” (like I do with some videos).
Even though this video illustrates how to do a simple look, I still learned so much.
I know she has a broadcasting background, and it really shows. It’s just refreshing to watch someone with real broadcast training discuss a subject I love.
If you haven’t watched her stuff yet, do it ASAP. Even if you’ve been around the makeup block a few times, I’m confident you’ll learn something new. Plus…SHE’S A CAT LADY. Need I say more?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

June 19th, 2019 at 11:11 pmYou guys should do a collab together! Emily has been buying stuff from your store and she did a shoutout last video too! I really like Emily, she is so thorough in her reviews and tutorials, and there’s something very soothing about her voice too!

June 20th, 2019 at 6:30 amI’ve loved her for so long! Aside from her obvious talent, she just seems like an honest, genuine, down to earth person. Most influencers these days are so fake and I feel like I can never trust their opinion. I’ve been a MUA for over a decade and have bought so much stuff because of her recommendations! You two are my favorite blogger/vloggers. You guys should totally do a collab together!

June 20th, 2019 at 6:45 amI love Emily Noel. She seems so nice and down to earth and she knows her stuff. I agree, I feel like she’s talking to me and not “at” me, like some do. I love her vlogs and seeing her family and her husband opening the PR and trying it out. Some of it is so funny!

June 21st, 2019 at 1:23 pmHas she stopped putting white in her water line though? I know I’m being a jerk and I am sorry, but I had to stop watching her because I couldn’t take the absurd bright white liner in her lower water line. So dumb, I know, I don’t know why it bothers me.
