One of my favorite mediums for finding new content is Youtube. An
avid Youtube AND beauty junkie, I constantly found myself dismayed by
the constant lack of brown girls in beauty circles on Youtube. A few
years back, I stumbled on one Youtuber, however, who has since blossomed
in more ways than one. So today, i am puuting the spotlight on Jackie Aina for my Beauty Crush Wednesday. 
Jackie Aina is not only a beautiful woman of color on the outside, but she radiates warmth and personality in every video she makes. Not only does she make you feel at home, but she uses her expertise to teach you about skincare, current products that are worth the splurge, proper makeup applications and everyday makeup hacks to look flawless every time!
A
Youtuber with over 700k subscribers (I was following Jackie back when
she had only 35k), Jackie is now a woman who can be seen working with
big brands like Loreal, spotted on the video channels of Refinery29, be a
Youtube Change Ambassador (working for women’s and minority rights) and
just constantly being a fresh face in the world of beauty.
She
can show you how to make your makeup work for you, that brown girls
don’t have to shy away from bright colors, and how to FIX YOUR LIFE
while offering insight form the things she’s learned. I have definitely
learned a thing or two from Jackie, even if it’s just to be relentlessly
fearless in my goals and aspirations as a woman of color in this
industry.Some
of my favorite videos of Jackie have included her How To guide for
color correcting (which can definitely get tricky when you’re browner
hued):Her video on beauty trends we NEEDED to ditch in 2015 (and I promise you, I literally laughed till I cried first time I saw this):
And even just her everyday makeup tutorials, where she shows you how to replicate celebrity looks. Here, she recreated Rihanna’s flawless makeup look from Black Girls Rock 2016:
Perhaps you’ll join her Youtube sisterhood and get on board the Jackie Aina train! Check out her Youtube channel: JackieAina. So that’s why this beauty is my Beauty Crush Wednesday. Is she yours?
