Young, gorgeous and a popular YouTube beauty guru, Annie Jaffrey leads quite a beautiful life.

Jaffrey has a worldly flair that others her age might lack. She was born in Sweden and grew up in Switzerland. She spent time in Miami and is currently living in New York City. Jaffrey embodies the perfect blend of European sophistication and urban chic.
One might think that someone so young and fortuitous might be haughty, yet this bubbly beauty is anything but. Jaffrey is sweet and humble, thankful for the good luck she has had thus far.
Jaffrey, who is finishing up her last year of college in New York, does not have grandiose plans for herself (though her fan base is rapidly burgeoning and we see brilliant success in her future). Ten years from now, all she wants is to be "happy and in love with whatever I'll be doing. Only time and a positive attitude will tell!"

IBTimes caught up with the beauty guru to discuss her start on YouTube, her almost instantaneous popularity and - of course - find out her must-have products.
How did you get started on YouTube?
My mom loves YouTube beauty videos, and she always used to encourage me to watch them, but I never thought it was something I'd be interested in. Finally last summer I decided to check it out. I started watching lots of videos and learning about "channels" and popular beauty gurus, I was hooked, and couldn't' wait to start my own!
Have you always been passionate about beauty and style?
In my early teens, I went through somewhat of an awkward phase. I was overweight and very shy. But as time went by, I began finding my "groove" and was able to start expressing myself better, and one way was through fashion. Since then, I've always loved dressing up, doing my makeup and feeling glam. Beauty is something you can have without wearing makeup. I think it is a reflection of how you take care of yourself.
How does your YouTube channel compare to other beauty channels?
My videos reflect what I'm truly passionate about, and one of my favorite topics is living a healthy lifestyle and the incredible effect it has on your beauty. I think what makes some of my videos different is that I try to approach beauty from an internal way. Help your body get stronger, feed it properly and help it recover fast through nutritious food. Hair will grow thicker and longer, skin will glow and be clear and most importantly you will feel amazing. I also show how to create my favorite makeup looks and hairstyles.
Have you ever gone to make-up artistry classes or did you teach yourself?
I've never been to any make-up classes, but I have watched hours and hours of videos on YouTube and experimented a lot. I think that can make anyone a pro!
