Elle Video Star

True story: On multiple occasions, I have watched amateur Youtube videos standing in the bathroom over the sink of non-speaking 15 year olds from France demonstrating how to use a curling iron. The thing about Youtube, however, is that I never know if it’s going to be hit or miss – not to mention I hate it when something with an enticing title turns into a random spam video.

The good news is, I can now move my video tutorial needs over to a legit beauty source: Elle Magazine. The new Elle Video Star launched by the magazine is a mecca of beauty tutorials that range from applying red lipstick to how to look beautiful while undergoing chemo. And there are already multiple vids on how to curl hair…with audio.

Elle Magazine realized that their readers are some of the most beauty savvy experts out there so they created the opportunity for their readers to share beauty tips to the Elle audience. All you have to do is dig out your tricks, make an at-home video, upload to Elle Video Star and pimp to your friends. Every week the owner of the video with the most ads get a stash of beauty loot from Elle editors as well as the opportunity to be featured in Elle Magazine. In fact, the July issue, out now already includes their favorite beauty-how-to video stars.

Any tips on at-home blowouts would be extremely appreciated.
