Bethany Mota is another beauty superstar who owes her fame to YouTube. As of 2020, the star has over 9 million subscribers. As noted by Forbes, she's had a partnership with Aeropostale, boasted a school supplies line at Target, and competed on Dancing With the Stars.
Before all of this success, however, the Californian first started uploading her videos after struggling with childhood bullying. In an interview with Fox 9, she explained how she was "about 12 when [she] was cyber-bullied." She said, "These kids started a sort of MySpace page — all of it was kind of talking negatively about my appearance, and being 12 you are very vulnerable and take things to heart."
She's certainly come a long way since those early days. The beauty YouTuber posted her first video in 2009. The low-quality camera, side-swept bangs, and adorable hair bow are all indications of just how young Mota was at the time! Mota has certainly grown into a gorgeous young woman who has said goodbye to the bangs and the lip gloss in favor of some killer modern makeup skills.
