Best YouTube keywords for Makeup channels

10 terms people type into YouTube's search box for "makeup tutorial for beginners", plus 28 keyword ideas with the evidence behind each, taken from the top 5 videos and their comments rather than a volume estimate.

Data as of

The five videos ranking for "makeup tutorial for beginners" come from five channels and disagree on how long a beginner needs. Two titles promise a 10 minute makeup tutorial, yet Ale Jay's runs 6:06 and KKAÖ by KKB's runs 15:21, while Samantha Harvey's complete guide runs 41:17.

Only two of the five use chapters, Samantha Harvey with 16 and Imani LeeMarie with 11, so in the other three you can't jump to foundation or concealer. The query also leans short: 25 of the 44 results considered were Shorts and were left out here.

A keyword list hands you "step by step" without noting it already sits in two of the five titles, while "over 40" comes back from autocomplete and four of the five videos never address mature skin.

Makeup YouTube keyword ideas, with the evidence

Each term traces to something real: the ranking videos' own titles and transcripts, their viewers' comments, or YouTube autocomplete. Flags say how well the top 5 already serve it.

Which makeup keywords to target first

Start with autocomplete, because two of its expansions point at viewers the winners skip. "Over 40" matches about eight commenters aged 40 to 70-plus under Imani LeeMarie's video, yet mature skin gets one five-second aside across all five. "Eyeshadow" is weak too: only Samantha Harvey builds an eyeshadow look, while kelly and Imani LeeMarie put bronzer on the lids instead.

From the viewers bucket, take "acne-prone textured skin". About six comments say the demo skin is already clear, led by "Step 1: have perfect glass skin with no acne", and only KKAÖ by KKB spends about 40 seconds on acne scars.

Treat "step by step" and "2025" as taken, since both already sit in the winners' titles. Skip the creator-name expansion, and the Telugu variant unless you make videos in Telugu.

Frequently asked questions

Why are there no numbers next to each keyword?+

YouTube doesn't publish how many people search a term, so every figure a keyword tool shows next to a YouTube term is an estimate, usually from Google web data or a model. We show what we can actually verify: the terms YouTube's own autocomplete suggests, the terms the ranking videos use, and the questions their viewers ask in comments. That tells you where demand is and how well it's served, which is the decision a volume figure was standing in for.

How was this page built?+

We ran the flagship query through YouTube search (US, relevance order), took the top 5 results (videos of 3 minutes or under count as Shorts and are left out), and analysed their public metadata, description chapters, transcripts and comments using the same method VidHalo's analysis follows (its sub-topic taxonomy, coverage scoring and comment-demand rules applied to the same inputs), so a live VidHalo report for this query will agree in shape but can label things differently. The snapshot is dated on the page and refreshed periodically; the short commentary was written against that snapshot and reviewed before publishing. Nothing on this page is fetched at request time.

Why do two "10 minute" tutorials run 6 and 15 minutes?+

The title describes the routine, not the runtime. Ale Jay's 6:06 video moves straight through and skips concealer, while KKAÖ by KKB's 15:21 video stops to color correct and bake powder. One commenter under the longer video says they can't see themselves doing it all in 10 minutes.
