I started consuming beauty content as a teenager around 14-15 years old. At the time, everything happened mainly on YouTube and on blogs. This is where I learned that water was actually my coily hair's friend and not the opposite as everyone around me had always made me believe. My interest in makeup grew thanks to these many tutorials that I devoured every weekend. Back then, I remember looking several times for Haitian YouTubers to identify with. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any. Over the years I began to discover them, and it made me the happiest girl. Representation matters!
The quality of the content and the value of the content are what motivates me to follow content creators religiously. Specifically, what emerges from the creator, their personality, their values . , and more. With social media it, we've established strong attachments to strangers, whom we even come to call our virtual friends. Check out these 17 Haitian influencers you should follow.

The first thing you notice when you go on Hanna’s social media is her big smile and her joy of living. She creates content on natural hair maintenance, makeup and recently a bit of lifestyle; and you can see that she is passionate about it. I like to watch her vlogs on YouTube because that's where you can see the essence of her personality and in my opinion that's what makes her so endearing.

When I think of Anaël as a content creator, I immediately think of her editing skills. She is improving day by day to give her community the best.

Shanygne loves playing with makeup and loves talking about makeup. She has made many reviews on the most popular makeup brands. Her series on foundation hunting is one of the most popular ones on her YouTube. Finding the right type of foundation and shade is the most important thing in makeup as it is the base of everything else. All the success of this series is based on the fact that Shanygne is very dark skinned which makes the quest for the right foundation even less obvious. These reviews help people who follow her lot, by letting them know which brands to turn to.
