Ladies......."3 point lighting" will give you more flexibility than a ring light or beauty dish. You can DIY with cheap lamps or clip lights with filters using paper, $1 shower caps, $1 shower curtains. A $30 setup can still turn out pro-like results. Maya has a great tutorial on proper camera settings......which is a must. P.S. just remember to use led bulbs because they will not get hot and won't pose a fire risk if using filters to get that soft lighting look.

Shameless Maya Hi! really learning some stuff through your tech talk videos! I recently bought a professional background kit to start my yt channel. Not minding the fact that I almost burnt the white background in order to cancel the harsh lines due to the packaging, should I set my camera on me in order to make the background blur? and also, are your house lights and video lights on while your filming or are you only using video light? :)
