The beauty community on YouTube has gained great popularity and viewership over the years.

Many YouTubers like Zoella and James Charles, who started out as make-up gurus have made it big internationally, starting their own cosmetic lines and becoming commanding names in the industry.

However, we're not here to talk about them today.

This self-professed "uncle", nicknamed Himeni, enjoys wearing wearing makeup and frilly dresses, while speaking in a masculine voice.

While he's not the first male beauty guru on YouTube, Himeni has a considerable following of roughly 68,600 subscribers.

This is what he looks like, without make-up:

In his tutorial, Himeni has a few tips for viewers on various ways to beautify themselves.

He added that female viewers could ignore this part. Unless applicable.

Another tip he gave - focus on the eyes.

Pretty much half of the tutorial was spent glamming up the eyes.

The beauty guru added that contouring and highlighting was important as well.
