MANNY MUA

Today’s blog is focusing on another male beauty enthusiast, Manny MUA. Manny first joined YouTube back in 2014, posting videos focusing on make-up tutorials, and ‘shenanigans’ that go on in his day to day life.

Manny is 26 years old was born in San Diego, USA. He is a full believer that make-up should be genderless and promotes that boys should have the freedom to wear, teach and vlog about make-up just as much as girls can. This is a key feature throughout his channel and he states, in his YouTube bio, that he is fighting for equality in the make-up world for boys.

Manny’s YouTube career started in July 2014 and he gained an impressive 235,000 subscribers within the first 8 months of creating his account on the social media platform. Now Manny has 2,929,700 subscribers with an impressive total of 220 videos available to view on his channel.

Along with his YouTube channel, Manny also promotes himself through other social media platforms such as, Twitter, Instagram, Snap chat and Facebook. He posts a new video every week and is always active on his other accounts, interacting with his followers and sharing his life online. He has gained several products from cosmetics companies to review and is usually pretty honest about the content of his videos. Manny also has an impressive 3.6 million followers on his Instagram account, where he posts hundreds of pictures of his make-up skills for the world to be impressed by.

Manny’s career has gone from 0-100 in just three years. Since launching his YouTube account in 2014, he has since brought out his own make up products, collaborating with big make-up brands such as ‘Make-Up Geek’, I’ve been looking for this product everywhere since deciding to write this blog post and it is sold out e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e. So, it’s safe to say his fans and many others love this product. Manny has also collaborated with Jeffree Star (featured in my last blog post) to make a JSC x Manny MUA bundle that is available to buy on JefreeStarCosmetics.com.

Like I said before, Manny MUA focuses a lot of his YouTube content on his make-up skills, but also on the fact that he is a boy, with make-up skills, who wears make-up. Manny frequently records videos with fellow YouTube star, Jeffree Star, to help promote the message that boys are allowed to be as involved with make-up as girls are. I think this is an important message to share with a wide variety of people so that everyone has the freedom to express themselves. Manny achieves this by using all social media platforms as a way of promoting himself but also what he stands for, equality for boys in the beauty world. I think he’s made a pretty big splash!
