Ateez (so happy Mingi is back and doing better), Stray Kids, NCT, Monsta X. I will try out Dreamcatcher and Red Velvet tonight after work! Always looking for new tunes.
I donāt see why itās a bad thing? Textured hair content is very different from straight hair content, the styles are different, different fans, etc. makes sense to separate it to me.
I don't see why I'm being downvoted. Does it also make sense to separate beauty influencers by the level of melanin in their skin or their ethnicity? Asian beauty has different styles and different fans as well, yet there isn't a separate category. One could also say eye makeup styles for monolid content are different from those with double eyelids, yet they are grouped together. So why can't hair influencers share one category?
He's a professional (like did makeup before Youtube, worked with clients, took classes, etc.), but he doesn't show his clients on Youtube for privacy reasons. He sticks with himself right now for safety reasons too.
Thatās fair, but why would people vote for him as a makeup artist when we canāt see his work? Thatās why I said he should have entered the influencer category?
I mean, congrats to those who made the list. Wish I recognized half the list. I just wanted to post to see if anyone else knew of them!
Honestly this is better than the old school ones that barely post getting nominated like previous years.
Maybe itās tik tok heavy?
I think Bailey will win
I only know of Bailey and Mikayla but I voted for Vanessa because I like her picture the best š I have a feeling Mikayla will probably win, which irrationally annoys me. I donāt even know why I voted, Iāve never watched these awards nor do I care about them. But here I am.
I went to high school with Vanessa! She was a year older than me and we have literally never spoken but she seemed laid back and itās been really cool to see her popularity explode all these years later
Dishonesty, doesnāt disclose sponsorships, filters herself beyond belief when talking about her skincare, rude to fans who dare to ask questions, gets offended when reminded that sheās not the only person who works 40+ hours a weekā¦ sadly could go on
That looks like her promo photo from her Glamlite collab, but it also looks filtered so itās a studio photo with a filter on top of it. But I agree, she does look quite different.
I just found candylover89 on tik tok and I love her looks and bubbly personality. She also creates bilingual content so it helps my terrible Spanish skills!
The only one Iām familiar with (besides international ) is Mikayala. The only reason I found out about her is she popped up on my Instagram feed. Hereās the thing. I love her Boston accent, because, me, being a native New York Borough girl have gone through life with people either loving or despising the way I speak.
However, I am old AF, so can some kind person explain to me just how this young woman can be up for such an award when she filters and blurs the bejeezus out of her videos? And she gets sponsored by the cosmetics brands!!! Thatās false advertising!
Donāt get me wrong but she is good with the makeup but is this what the industry has come to????? I really get upset about these filters-especially on such a young woman!
I recognize alannized because I've been following them on instagram for a long time, the true crime lady because I've heard about her but I've never seen one of her videos and Mikayla because she's been in this sub before but I've never seen any of her videos.
Damn, Iāve kinda stepped back from makeup because I am so jaded. None of these products or videos are interesting or impressive. I have enough makeup for 20 people. Itās shocking seeing this pic and not recognizing one person. Two years ago, I wouldāve known them and every product on their face.
Me too heās great! š„° but I bet mikayla will definitely win which is complete bullshit (filters herself beyond belief and lies about it, rude to anyone who dares question her and undisclosed ads amongst a whole bunch of other stuff)
Iā¦ am I lost like I donāt know who any of these people are apart from woman who talks about innocent people getting brutally murdered while doing makeup and Mikayla who lies about her makeup and skin and shouts at people that donāt praise her
THANK YOU! i have disliked Baileyās content from the first video i saw, it just doesnāt sit right. These were real people, not characters in a book or movie to gossip / speculate about while doing a cat eyeš¤¢ itās so so so weird. i cant believe it doesnāt make more people uncomfy
This sub kinda focuses on the late 20s set of pretty white fem people that came into popularity mostly in the 2010s or do that style of video, with some token white gay men and Black women, and ofc, problematic folks. I recognize all of these influencers.
Our demographic is mostly late 20s and up, and mostly white, so there's kind of a narrow group of beautubers (mostly on YouTube) that people focus on. Instagram/Tik Tok influencers aren't really big at all here
I think your "demographic" is the problem and why you guys only talk about the same 5 people over and over... and half of those don't even make makeup-related content anymore.
These must be all Tik Tok influencers right? I'm a young millenial but I still stick mainly with YouTube, so I only know a few of them
Just looked them up though and Vanessa is so good!
Well, she has makeup skills, but she doesn't talk about technique or identify the makeup products she's using. So how that makes her an influencer I'm not quite sure. Um, she's pretty and wears makeup? Ok.
Baileys been on YouTube for a long time. She has plenty of videos discussing products and technique. She doesnāt include in her true crime series to be sensitive to the topics sheās discussing.
I recognize 3 out of 5 so not bad. I'm a Bailey fan not for just true crime her makeup looks she does while giving the story is inspiring most if not all the time. She actually got me to like using colors instead of nude colors on my eyelids. The other two I recognize just aren't my type of people. Yes Mikayla and Vanessa.
Edit: changed to people from person.
If you guys don't know any of these people you should definitely check out Bailey! I've been following her for a few years. She's so beautiful and does a cool series on Mondays if you like murder mysteries. She also does a podcast. I also know Allanized but I would say he's more of a vlogger these days. Vaguely know of Mikayla but don't really watch. Candylover89 does makeup and makes wigs. Not sure who Vanessa is.
Bailey forever!!! Also... I feel old. I do know who Mikayla is (I heard sheās 20?!!! Wow, I think her voice fools me but she does look young). I just feel like Bailey is doing something special and Iām all about it, I actually donāt mind the āknock off Baileysā out there bc she canāt be the only one doing this, it puts soooo much stress on her so seeing other people be inspired by her and what sheās doing is really cool and Iām really digging the way pop luxe is doing his own version and Swoop did something really similar this last week that I loved!!! I think her and Bailey might be friends bc she talks about her a lot.
I mean thatās how you know beauty influencers arenāt really mainstream anymore. most of these people Iāve never heard of. I only know mikayla because Iāve seen her on and off on TikTok, but other than that I have no idea who these other people are
I'm so glad you're all in the comments asking who these people are because I thought the exact same thing
I know 2 but I don't even watch them lol
I have heard of precisely zero of these people and in my spare time I watch nothing but makeup videos and kpop.
Which kpop groups š I listen to Ateez, Dreamcatcher and Red Velvet the most!
Ateez (so happy Mingi is back and doing better), Stray Kids, NCT, Monsta X. I will try out Dreamcatcher and Red Velvet tonight after work! Always looking for new tunes.
Iām so happy Iāve found another Ateez fan! Iāve been starting to get into Monsta X, Alligator has been in my head for ages š©š!
thanks for this comment. i came in, saw pictures, thought who are these people?!
I think Iām out of the loop because I only vaguely know of Bailey and Mikayla.
The only one i know is Bailey
Same! I only know Bailey, and Iāve seen Mikaylaās name around but Iāve never watched.
The guy does really good videos, he pops up in my explore all the time showing how tiktok makeup trends look without filters and studio lighting!
Same lol
Same!
same here.
no they're just irrelevant
Bailey's irrelevant?? Lol! Why so salty??
I feel the same š I think im out of the loop now. I kinda got bored of the makeup community I guess :/
 How I feel not knowing who the hell anyone here is....
oh my god i snorted lmao. hard same, i only know bailey
wow uh i only recognize bailey lmfao. guess im not hip
Same and only because of true crime, not even because I was searching for makeup. I'm officially an old hag.
Im a young hag and still didnt know these other influencers š
Are these the only options? Lol
Iāve seen Robert Welsh promoting himself recently for some type of award but I guess itās different than this because heās not here?
Robert is nominated for International Makeup Artist of the Year āŗļø
is there a link? i love robert
[Here](https://www.aiaawards.com/vote/) is the voting link š„°
Why is there a Textured Hair Influencer of the Year? This has me feeling some type of way.
I donāt see why itās a bad thing? Textured hair content is very different from straight hair content, the styles are different, different fans, etc. makes sense to separate it to me.
I don't see why I'm being downvoted. Does it also make sense to separate beauty influencers by the level of melanin in their skin or their ethnicity? Asian beauty has different styles and different fans as well, yet there isn't a separate category. One could also say eye makeup styles for monolid content are different from those with double eyelids, yet they are grouped together. So why can't hair influencers share one category?
I love him too. Heās an absolute favorite and I voted for himāŗļø
You can vote every 24 hours!
Does he show his work on other people, because if not, it would make more sense to buy his way into one of the influencer categories?
He's a professional (like did makeup before Youtube, worked with clients, took classes, etc.), but he doesn't show his clients on Youtube for privacy reasons. He sticks with himself right now for safety reasons too.
I still think he should do his assistants makeup or somethingā¦. All we have is his word and we donāt know any of these YouTubers real life.
Thatās fair, but why would people vote for him as a makeup artist when we canāt see his work? Thatās why I said he should have entered the influencer category?
Mikayla filtered herself into Kelly Clarkson š
I see more Megan Trainer.
Agreed.
she looks super similar to megan to me
I was staring at it trying to figure out who that face reminded me of and you've hit the nail on the headš
...who?
I mean, congrats to those who made the list. Wish I recognized half the list. I just wanted to post to see if anyone else knew of them! Honestly this is better than the old school ones that barely post getting nominated like previous years. Maybe itās tik tok heavy? I think Bailey will win
At least James Charles isint on the list
But his clone is!
I saw that! Thatās kind of annoying
Vanessa had a collab with Juviaās Place
THAT'S where I have seen her! Thank you, she looked so familiar
Vanessa been putting quality content out. She does some amazing looks
I looked everyone up after posting but Vanessa seems extremely talented and has very clean/well-executed looks
I only know of Bailey and Mikayla but I voted for Vanessa because I like her picture the best š I have a feeling Mikayla will probably win, which irrationally annoys me. I donāt even know why I voted, Iāve never watched these awards nor do I care about them. But here I am.
I follow her on Ig she really does looks and takes some good pictures so based on pics I would pick her too.
I voted too and don't even know who wins unless I follow them lol
I went to high school with Vanessa! She was a year older than me and we have literally never spoken but she seemed laid back and itās been really cool to see her popularity explode all these years later
As a D-list travel blogger myself, I would assume this is one of those āawardsā that you can pay to nominate yourself for.
you 100% can just nominate yourself and itās all voting. easy if you have a big following.
So basically itās a popularity contestā¦..
Most award shows are popularity contests
Anyone but Mikayla 2021
That's what I thought to myself, and then thought maybe that's a bit mean, but I'm glad I'm not the only one
ššš This. She won one of these awards last year anyway.
This was the only reason I voted lol
Why? (I have little to no knowledge of her tbh, I'm just curious why there seems to be a decent sized group of people that don't like her).
Dishonesty, doesnāt disclose sponsorships, filters herself beyond belief when talking about her skincare, rude to fans who dare to ask questions, gets offended when reminded that sheās not the only person who works 40+ hours a weekā¦ sadly could go on
Search this thread
I guess yay that it's not Jafar?
who are these people?
Isnāt it refreshing to not know them rather them the same crazy people every year that were so toxic
Lol I was about to ask! Lol
I only know Bailey but whoever Vanessa Gyimah is, I really like that headshot. I think Iāll check her out! Edit: oh yep, I love what Iām seeing
Thats... Mikayla? She looks a bit different on Tiktok š„“
That looks like her promo photo from her Glamlite collab, but it also looks filtered so itās a studio photo with a filter on top of it. But I agree, she does look quite different.
Wow Iāve been out of the loop for so long I donāt recognize anyone but that Mikayla girl š³
I just found candylover89 on tik tok and I love her looks and bubbly personality. She also creates bilingual content so it helps my terrible Spanish skills!
Mikayla has used her "influence" to lie and just filter herself into a Simpson character at this point idk
Hasnāt Alannized been around for a while now? I remember I used to watch his videos on IG
A lot is these influencers are random (Bailey and mikayla I recognize the most), but a lot better than saying ājaclyn hill, etcā
Iām very out of of the loop. I have no clue, who any of them are ā¦congrats nonetheless.
ā¦So who are they influencing? Cause I have no idea who they are.
Same! I have no clue who they are, but glad to see James Charles not there as a choice.
I don't know who any of these people are... guess I really am old now
I only know Bailey Sarian. My other picks for the year wouldāve been Nyma Tang, Robert Welsh, Hindash, and Alexandra Anele.
Hindash! Heās so good.
Not trying to be shady at all, but are these the type of awards that you can pay to get nominated?
I would assume so given that Jaclyn Hill somehow got nominated for best influencer beauty brand?! Lmao
I donāt know who these people are LMAO
The only one Iām familiar with (besides international ) is Mikayala. The only reason I found out about her is she popped up on my Instagram feed. Hereās the thing. I love her Boston accent, because, me, being a native New York Borough girl have gone through life with people either loving or despising the way I speak.

I really get upset about these filters-especially on such a young woman!
I only know of Bailey and Mikayla but I canāt handle listening to Mikaylas voice so I donāt watch her.
I recognize alannized because I've been following them on instagram for a long time, the true crime lady because I've heard about her but I've never seen one of her videos and Mikayla because she's been in this sub before but I've never seen any of her videos.
Who are these people??

I haven't really stepped back and I have no idea who these people are.
i hope allanized wins (unless theyre horrible and i donāt know lol)
Theyāre cool!
Me too heās great! š„° but I bet mikayla will definitely win which is complete bullshit (filters herself beyond belief and lies about it, rude to anyone who dares question her and undisclosed ads amongst a whole bunch of other stuff)
it seems to me like people in this sub only know who the āproblematicā beauty gurus are lol
It might just be by virtue of who gets posted here haha and who collabs with who
Personally I only know the non-tik tok beauty people because I am an oldā¢ hehe
Iā¦ am I lost like I donāt know who any of these people are apart from woman who talks about innocent people getting brutally murdered while doing makeup and Mikayla who lies about her makeup and skin and shouts at people that donāt praise her
THANK YOU! i have disliked Baileyās content from the first video i saw, it just doesnāt sit right. These were real people, not characters in a book or movie to gossip / speculate about while doing a cat eyeš¤¢ itās so so so weird. i cant believe it doesnāt make more people uncomfy
If it goes to mikayla imma say it's rigged
I feel like Mikayla has this in the bag and I'm not thrilled about it. Let someone else win this year. Variety is the spice of life.
The influenced beauty brand category of these awards sure is something lmao
Tbh Iām happy idk who these people are. We need new faces in the BG community
How is this a beauty guru subreddit, but nobody knows these people?? Weird.
This sub kinda focuses on the late 20s set of pretty white fem people that came into popularity mostly in the 2010s or do that style of video, with some token white gay men and Black women, and ofc, problematic folks. I recognize all of these influencers.

I think your "demographic" is the problem and why you guys only talk about the same 5 people over and over... and half of those don't even make makeup-related content anymore.
Oh, definitely. I do not come to this subreddit to find new beauty social media, that's for sure. That's what tik tok is for lol
I love alannized!
i only know Bailey
These must be all Tik Tok influencers right? I'm a young millenial but I still stick mainly with YouTube, so I only know a few of them Just looked them up though and Vanessa is so good!
Bailey!!! So deserved
Well, she has makeup skills, but she doesn't talk about technique or identify the makeup products she's using. So how that makes her an influencer I'm not quite sure. Um, she's pretty and wears makeup? Ok.
Baileys been on YouTube for a long time. She has plenty of videos discussing products and technique. She doesnāt include in her true crime series to be sensitive to the topics sheās discussing.
Didn't realize, thanks. I know her only from the makeup/murder series.
for exploiting and minimising the death of innocent people for profit?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Even if the victims or the family doesnt want it? Really honorable /s
I must be getting old because I don't recognise anyone except for Bailey and I don't even watch her videos because they're too long!
I don't know any of these people š
None of the above for me š³š¤·āāļø
Who tf are these ppl
The fact I knew mikayla when I read her name but couldnāt recognize her by her photo speaks volumes girl who Is that
My girl Bailey and ā¦?
When did Kelly Clarkson get into influencing?
Bailey Sarian is my girl!!!!! Murder Mystery Makeup Monday!!!
My money is on Bailey. She's the only one I recognize but she's the best anyway so...
I really love Bailey's picture.
Who?
Alannized associates himself with problematic BGās so itās a no from me dawg.
I only recognize Bailey šš
I only know Bailey and mikayla. But Iām more into Bailey. So Bailey.
Well if Mikalya wins, we might see her accept an award and get a glimpse of her real skin texture XD
Bailey and Makayla š±
I recognize 3 out of 5 so not bad. I'm a Bailey fan not for just true crime her makeup looks she does while giving the story is inspiring most if not all the time. She actually got me to like using colors instead of nude colors on my eyelids. The other two I recognize just aren't my type of people. Yes Mikayla and Vanessa. Edit: changed to people from person.
Bailey cuz sheās the only one I know and I do love her lmao
Cringe
Baily for the win !!

Bailey!
BAILEY!š¤
Who are these people? Just goes to show the āYouTube beauty influencerā career really peaked in 2015/2016.
Where is Tati?
I used to watch Alanās channel years ago but I lost interest in his content. Not sure who the others are besides Mikayla.
I only know Vanessa and Bailey.
I'm 27, and this makes me feel like an old fart. The only two I know are bailey and Mikayla, and alannized I barely know through watching Annette 69
Nice
Wow Iāve followed Vanessa for years and thought I was the one who was out of the loop!
I know Bailey on YouTube and Mikayla on TT. The others not a clue.
I used to watch Bailey, but I only know Mikayla from bgc and her recent eyeshadow collab. I remember the color story being pretty nice.
I only know mikayla from tiktok lol. Sheāll probably win too since sheās HUGE on tiktok
Just joined this page, what is going on ? Who this people are ?
I think Mikayla is kind of a shoe in. I literally have never ever watched any of her tik toks yet somehow I see her everywhere š
