YouTube channel
Based in Pearland, Texas (a suburb of Houston), Meyer used to design clothes before she got into a car accident and wasn't able to sew anymore.[3] She then started her YouTube channel in December 2010 and mainly made videos about her own personal paranormal experiences and trips to graveyards.[1] She later transitioned her vlogs to be more centralized on subjects about fashion, and make-up, as well as a series called "Does This Thing Really Work?" which tests out "As Seen on TV" products where she uses and then reviews them in a video.[4][5] Meyer refers to her followers as her "Swamp Family".[6]
As of 2016, with over 7 million YouTube subscribers and 1 billion video views, Meyer is one of the highest paid YouTube personalities, earning over $460,000 a year.[1][7]
Make-up line

The line includes an eyeshadow palette and two lipsticks. Due to overwhelming traffic, Tarte's website crashed just after the release of the product.[8]
