"You need to ask yourself what makes a channel good. In my opinion, it's the helpfulness and individual quirks of each guru. Think about it this way: Why do you love your closest friends? Probably because they're unique, they help you when you're in need, and always have a way of making you laugh. The same thing goes for the beauty community. The knowledge gurus share in order to help everyone."

Elle: "It's really easy to make a comment that might be borderline mean through a computer screen. The person commenting almost doesn't realize how it's coming across. Don't change yourself, but listen to your fans and understand that you can grow through constructive criticism."
Blair: "Be prepared and know that for as many people who say something negative, you're going to have so many more who will be positive. Try to focus on that instead of letting people get you down."
