Asian-American Beauty Guru Roundup

By Christy Lim | April 12, 2012

This week, Dumpling takes a look at some of the most popular Asian-American beauty gurus on YouTube, collecting ideas for Asian-American glamour in spring and summer. This week, we feature Michelle Phan’s “Luscious Lips,” Jen’s look that touts Tangerine shades, and Promise Phan’s everday look. We also watch Jackie Chu’s video on her favorite nail polish colors, and new YouTube network Fawn Inc.
