In times when all the hype and media attention is on Facebook and Twitter, YouTube is alive and kicking. One of the hotest trend is represented by make artists and common people, recording their own make up tutorials.

They have thousand of subscribers, they got hundred of views and enthusiastic comments for every video they make. People love them and imitate them.
In the last weeks, Clio and Lara have launched the Make Up TAGS. Lara has asked everyone to record “the six products I cannot live without”; Clio has answered with the “6 products NO”.
