24 Latinx Influencers Leaving Their Mark on the Beauty Industry
The mantra “representation matters” may sound totally familiar, but it’s more important than ever. And in the case of Latinx beauty influencers, the community continues to grow and not only provide us with the obvious–makeup tutorials, flawless #OOTDs, and more–but show the world how important it is that everyone has a seat at the table. What may have started with seasoned YouTube vets like Bethany Mota in the late 2000s has grown into a strong collective of business-savvy beauty bosses with millions of followers and subscribers.
Most of these 24 makeup mavens are bilingual, reaching audiences far beyond the English-speaking world, and obviously talented. From Camila Coelho and Dulce Candy to Gabriel Zamora, these bloggers know how to create a perfect smoky eye with smooth, winged liner you’ll actually want to recreate.
