#6: Critiquing a Critic

Mykie from Glam & Gore is a popular Youtube makeup artist. She has around 3.5 million subscribers. She is well known in the the youtube community for combining glam and gore (hence the name) looks on her channel. While she does not do specific reviews all the time, she does give her opinion in the videos she makes.   My favorite thing about her channel other than the fact that she is absolutely hilarious, that she goes through glam makeup basics ( 1 Minute Makeup Tutorial ), and gore makeup basics. She is also well known for speaking on current issues whether in the Youtube realm or otherwise.

The movie came out in 2017 and made 54 million at the box office. The movie stars Margot Robbie, Allison Janey, and Sebastian Stan among others.
