Blog: Fresh Lengths
Why We Love Her: Makeup reviews and outrageously high-resolution beauty tutorials are primarily what you'll find on this blog. Daily outfit photos shot in front of what seem like exotic background drops and unbelievable hair length check-ins throughout the year are what you'll keep coming back for.

Blog: Natural Hair Beauty
Why We Love Her: She lets her fellow naturalistas talk, whether it's about their horrifying natural hair stories or how they got that super cute updo in under five minutes. Strategically racking up user engagement with a ton of awesome giveaways is her thing, and showing how to make fancy jewelry pieces DIY-style will make you swoon.
Sometimes, we beauty junkies can't help it. To get inspiration (or a time-consuming Friday distraction) we turn to bloggers for the coolest, most unique beauty ideas.
And we're not the only ones. Top beauty, lifestyle and fashion bloggers now make up a large percentage of "It" girls and industry influencers (and are even scoring front-row seats at NYFW). What makes them so compelling? Aside from exploring new niche categories and demographics -- offering advice to the curly-haired, Latin-inspired, curvy-sized and even long-hair-obsessed -- these bloggers get us talking.
They're relatable, and rather than giving us general tips on how to create ponytails, they share personal stories like their boyfriends' reactions to chopping off all their hair. It's these African-American and Latina bloggers' unique point of view that's so captivating, making it possible to lose an afternoon diving into their content. And since, well, it is about beauty, it's not procrastination -- it's research. After all, how else are we going to learn to do the fiercest orange lip or a mean cut crease eyeshadow?
We searched high and low to see who's on top in the world of online beauty blogging. What we found: Only the most informative, unique and insanely talented influencers with a love for sharing their fashion and beauty savvy. Whether it's tutorials on the latest natural hairstyles or uber-glam makeup looks for a GNO, these African-American and Latina bloggers are here to help.
