Fiffany Luu doesn’t believe in trends, and it’s working out really well for her
You’ve likely seen Fiffany Luu somewhere on the internet (or perhaps you’ve bumped into her IRL, likely in Sephora). Her and her family are kind of everywhere right now. Her sister just styled Solange for the MET Gala, and Fiffany just shot an editorial with her mom.
The young beauty aficionado has taken on YouTube as her latest venture. And while she’s still getting used to being in front of the camera, she comes off as a complete pro to us.
While beauty is her passion, Luu is also focused on increasing the visibility marginalized groups have in the beauty industry and industry as a whole. We caught up with Luu and asked what she’s up to, how YouTube is treating her, and of course: how to step our beauty routines TF up.

We love your YouTube videos! How has venturing into the world of YouTube been for you? Was it weird recording yourself at first?
Thank you! Venturing into the world of YouTube has been liberating, being able to have free creative range of what I want to say and how I express being in front of the camera is something I already do on a daily basis for work so it was an easy transition to YouTube.

I am fully focused on film and anything creative with my sisters in The Glam Collective.
You just worked on a campaign with your mom for i-D: how was that experience? Is modeling something you want to get into more?
The experience was so much fun especially working with my mom. It was her first campaign and it was nice to see her enjoying herself doing something new. I mainly want to focus on film now although modeling is fun because I get to play different characters.
