Beauty buffs get their fix amid lockdowns

With life upended for his more than 4 million Youtube subscribers, beauty vlogger Patrick Starrr says he's taking it up a notch.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) BEAUTY AND LIFESTYLE VLOGGER PATRICK STARRR, SAYING: "I think it just adding more flavor.

I think taking what I've been doing and adding a more humor or more pizzazz, more just being a little bit more loud, because I think that's what we need right now." In one of Starrr's latest videos, he turns himself into Joe Exotic from the Netflix hit, Tiger King.

But it's not just Youtubers with millions of followers helping beauty fans get their dose of glamour.

With salons closed, hair stylists and beauticians are finding ways to help their clients still look good even as they're stuck at home.

Amelia Edmundson, the owner of a hair salon in Beverly Hills, California, has been delivering her clientโ€™s color formulas with detailed instructions.

One of her clients sent her this video of her husband dying her hair.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) HAIR SALON OWNER AMELIA EDMUNDSON, SAYING: "He was laughing and she was laughing.

So, they were having the best time." And for those whose hair is getting long, hairstylists are giving pointers on how to do an at home hair cut.

Whether you're doing it for your partner, or cutting your own hair.

A silver lining of this time as many pointed out may be the chance to experiment.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) BEAUTY AND LIFESTYLE VLOGGER PATRICK STARRR, SAYING:"Practice doing eyelashes, practice doing a cut crease, smoky eye, contouring your nose or over-lining your lips.

All the things that you have not wanted to try because you were so intimidated to, try because no one is going to see you."
