Beauty brands launch own online tutorial channels
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Following the introduction of stilabeautytube.com, Dior Beauty has started its own video site featuring tutorials on how to best apply its products.
Other beauty labels have posted their own branded videos on YouTube before (see Smashbox or MAC, for example) but Stila and Dior are the first brands to launch their own tutorial channels.
Dior's newly inaugurated site, which is currently advertised on YouTube, has the brand's international team of makeup artists showing viewers how to create classic looks, ranging from smoky eyes to nude makeup, using their products. A special Christmas look is also featured on the channel.
Without a doubt, both Stila's and Dior's channels are an attempt to gain control over the vast amount of tutorials on the web and re-establish authority in beauty. Vloggers have an impressive following with some of their videos being watched hundreds of thousands of times. One of the best-known among them, Lauren Luke, even released her own makeup collection with retailer Sephora - a threat that classic beauty manufacturers must have grown aware of.
The US version of Elle magazine also introduced its community-based online tutorial channel Video Star earlier this year.
