Carli Bybel - Fashion Vlogger, Career and Family

Hazel eyed “hot bod” Carli was a regular student at high school. She worked hard to get straight A’s in college,and was always under pressure to perform better. As financial difficulties started to pile up in her family, she began freelancing as a makeup artist, with a payment of $25 per client while pursuing her business degree. She worked in a photography studio as a hair and makeup artist, but didn’t earn sufficiently and hence she turned towards YouTube. In 2011, she uploaded her first video ‘Curl your hair with a straightener – Tutorial.’ Within 4 weeks of uploading the video, she received around 1000 subscribers. Amazed by the feedback, she continued posting makeup and hairstyle tutorials and her subscribers grew to one million after two years. Thus, she found her key to success and hasn’t looked back since. Her most famous video is ‘Megan Fox Makeup Tutorial’ which has over 4.7 million views. Her blog site is called ‘The Fashion Bybel’.

The first video she posted began with a quote “There’s an inner beauty about a woman who believes in herself.” Thus, defining her mission, Carli not only wanted to spread knowledge of external beauty but also to build every woman’s confidence and transform their inner beauty. She was bullied a lot when she was an adolescent and called names in high school.She felt embarrassed and even looked down upon herself when growing up, but she overcame all the name calling by diverting her attention to something more positive. She wants to do the same for all the women in the world. Her belief is that every woman is beautiful, and that by enhancing their outward appearance they would build a more beautiful and confident personality. This is what makes CarliBybelso special, as she has learnt from her experience and wants to support all those women who ever feel low about themselves.

Carli says that art comes naturally to her, and that she believes it is one’s soul that provides positive energy to the environment. Thus, she meditates to nourish her soul and loves listening to country music, as it has beautiful lyrics that can touch the heart of a listener. She loves animals; she has a fluffy white cat that she cuddles and she also loves penguins, she finds them cute and adorable. She loves wearing gold jewelry and high heels. Her favorite color is pink and she crushes over the actor Ryan Gosling.

Carli’s life has had its ups and downs. She was born to Jody and was the second child of her parents. Her sister Amanda is 2.5 years elder; both sisters love each other to bits. Amanda had a wonderful childhood, where she would go on two yearly vacations with her family. However, in high school she was overcome with grief when her parents divorced. Her father abandoned their family and moved to Florida with his new girlfriend. Bringing up two daughters alone was difficult, and her mother sold their house and moved to a small apartment. Amanda and Carli worked and studied together.It was during this time that she met Samantha, who became her best friend. The two often discussed about their future and then the idea of YouTube struck Carli, who was at that time working with a demeaning boss at the ‘Glamor Shots Studio.’ When everything started falling into place, she met the love of her life, fellow YouTuber Brett Cap. The two have been dating for years and certainly plan to stand by each other in future. Carli hopes to spread happiness to all women through her channel in the coming years too.

Her first job was at Starbucks, where she worked along with her sister.
