This week we chat beauty YouTuber Bethany Mota, formerly known as Macbarbie07. Bethany started uploading her makeup hauls as a teenager and by 2013 was YouTube’s most subscribed beauty creator.

We discuss how Bethany leveraged her success into a clothing line, appearances at global YouTube fan events, and a stint on Dancing with the Stars. Bethany remains a huge influence on beauty creators and how the lines between beauty and lifestyle YouTubers became increasingly blurred through the 2010s.
