By far the best makeup YouTuber on the web…Emily Eddington.

Emily has a very popular {and by very popular I mean over 400,000 subscribers} YouTube channel called Beauty Broadcast where she shows “how-to” videos about makeup, style, and fashion. She has tried, reviewed, and vlogged about almost every possible makeup brand on the planet.

Seriously y’all, she’s a wealth of information if you are needing makeup related tips.

Not to mention she has gorgeous skin. <<jealous>>

Even better, Emily lives in my home town and Jeff and I have had the pleasure of getting to know her over the last few years.

Emily was formerly a news anchor for our local news station here in town. That’s initially how we got introduced to her. Jeff started doing frequent segments on personal finance on her morning show. I may or may not have been jealous that he was getting to mingle with one of the most popular YouTube makeup creators of all time.

Ok, I was jealous.

There may have been a day that I said, “Hey…you think you could slip her a note with my blog address on it and say my wife has a crush on you?”

Bahaha!

Emily posted her first video on her YouTube channel in November of 2007 and has been growing her fan club ever since. If you have ever watched ANY of her videos that I am sure you can see why she is so easy to love. She now has over 800 videos on YouTube. EIGHT HUNDRED!

Just last year she quit her job as a news anchor to pursue her YouTube channel full-time. Inspiring.

One thing I love about Emily is that she creates, shoots, and edits all of her own videos. She truly is a one-woman show with so much talent. In addition to her Beauty Broadcast channel she also has a vlog channel where she talks more about the “life of Emily”.

<<<<Y’all know how much I love my vloggers – ahem.>>>>

Her presence in the online beauty community has been featured in multiple publications including Self magazine, Elle magazine and The New York Times.

And guess what…SHE CAME TO OUR HOUSE! For an interview.

I was a nervous-hot-sweaty-pit mess.

Don’t go laughing. Have y’all ever been tasked with interviewing a former NEWS ANCHOR? Yea, see my concern.

When Jeff initially said that he wanted Emily to be the first guest for our podcast I was stoked. I was all about it.

And then Jeff dropped the bomb on me. He told me that he was going to let ME do the interview. I about threw up in my mouth.

Me?

Totally-non-worthy-never-interviewed-anyone-in-my-life ME….

Please. Give a sista a break {was my true thoughts}.

But there was no budging the hubby on his thought process. So not only did I interview her for the podcast, but we did a LIVE interview in our home office. Me, Emily, 2 microphones, a ton of lights, a camera and the hubby’s eyes staring us down.

I told her if I pass out halfway through we could just edit that part out. Phew.

Luckily Emily is one of the sweetest and most down-to-earth girls you will meet. She made me feel extremely at ease during the interview. I didn’t even sweat through my cardigan. Score!

Watching it back, I am sure there are things I could have done better, but I am just thankful I didn’t lose consciousness on camera. Let’s call that a win, shall we?

Emily shares some insight into how she got started with her YouTube channel as well as advice on how to do it successfully. She was a pleasure to hang out with and when she left I thought, “We could be best friends.” LOL!

      • Thanks for taking time to respond to all of our comments. It really shows that you appreciate your readers. It’s nice to hear from a “big blogger”. 🙂

        I would love to see a post (maybe on Dollars and Roses) about how your day is structured now that you’re working at home, and how much time is spent on your blog and related tasks each week.
