-Pixiwoo (I agree with Crys, these two are my go-to girls, they're both professionals but seem really down-to-earth and likeable. Plus they have a good ratio of wearable to out-there looks.)
-xsparkage (She does some crazy bright looks, and there is a LOT of MU involved in these vids, but they're so vivid and creative that I love to watch!)
-Petrilude (I usually end up scouting this channel at Halloween. Some seriously impressive costume looks, and he is just incredible to look at - those teeth! Those cheekbones!)
-jjacks48 (Again, good mix of wearable with brighter looks.)
-fleurdeforce (I like her because her hair is pretty and she's British. :B She also does some nice reviews.)
I started on CaliforniaCosmetics, but she just got more and more boring for me. Similarly, panacea81 was incredible to me at first, but now I just can't stomach her long, rambling attitude. EnkoreMakeup was also v. useful to me when I was just learning stuff.
I like lollipop26 in theory, but she gets sent most of her stuff for free, which makes me bitter and cynical. :/
