If you’re stuck at home, tired of watching Frankenstorm coverage, and not blogging or otherwise working, here’s a solution for impending boredom: Master the hair, makeup, and nail looks that enterprising young YouTube members spend hours filming and uploading. For hair, you’ve got plenty of options to conquer braids, twists, and knots, even if you’ve got wet hair from errands or can’t use heat styling tools once the power goes out. With makeup, YouTube star Lauren Luke gives a step-by-step tutorial for extreme cat-eye makeup that’s plenty fun, but you won’t want to leave the house wearing. Below, watch seven of our favorite clips, perfect for when you need a break from the Doppler radar.
