Question (Q): You are known worldwide for your YouTube channel, RCLBeauty101. Tell us all about it!

Rachel Levin (RL): “I’ve been doing YouTube for 10 years! Which is crazy to think about. I started out doing makeup videos, then that evolved into comedy sketches, then life hacks, and it recently switched back to beauty videos!”

Q: What inspired you to start your channel?

RL: “The other kids at my school weren’t the nicest to me, so I wouldn’t go home after school and hang out with people! That in itself gave me a lot of time to obsessively watch YouTube videos. Watching all the videos caused me to do literal makeup tutorials in the mirror every morning! The realization that I was talking to myself in the mirror is what inspired me to start a channel.”
