Who is Tati Westbrook?
Famous for her online monikers GlamLifeGuru and Tati Westbrook, Tatiana Aleksandra Westbrook is an American beauty influencer, entrepreneur, and professional makeup artist, with content revolving around makeup, reviews, tutorials, and tips.
Westbrook formerly worked as an image consultant and shifted to a makeup artist. She began her YouTube career in 2010 by creating her GlamLifeGuru channel, which she renamed Tati.
When she started her career as a beauty content creator, Westbrook had little operating knowledge of cameras and editing. So, post-production took most of her time. She recalled that editing used to take up to 12 hours. While polishing and video editing still consume much of her time, Westbrook has things figured out.
In 2019, the influencer launched her makeup line Tati Beauty and produced a textured neutral shadow palette for her first product. Her company was short-lived, as she announced in 2021 that she was closing Tati Beauty due to the pandemic and several legal issues. And in 2018, she founded a company that sells vitamin supplements -- Halo Beauty.
Newsweek considers her the "progenitor of YouTube's beauty landscape" and "YouTube community's mother." Unfortunately, however motherly Westbrook appears, she's been involved in multiple issues and conflicts with co-influencers and the co-founder of Halo Beauty.
Nevertheless, Westbrook remains popular in the beauty industry with over 8.3M subscribers on YouTube, 2.3M followers on Instagram, 1.1M on Twitter, 379K on Facebook, 38.8K on TikTok, and 18.7K on Pinterest.
