Mia Maples is a Canadian YouTuber who is best known for her beauty and fashion hauls, product reviews, makeup tutorials, DIY videos, vlogs, challenges and prank videos on her eponymous channel. She also has a second channel called More Mia Maples (previously The Boring Life of Memo), which contains similar videos and the occasional gaming content. She has featured on YouTubers React twice in 2019.
Early Life
Mia Maples graduated in 2017 and took online classes to get her realtor license.
Career
Mia Maples, who got into makeup in the sixth grade when she dyed the bottom layer of her hair pink, joined YouTube as Ivorygirl48 (later renamed to Mia Maples) on Valentine's Day 2013 and uploaded her first video, Neutral Smokey Eye ~ Great for Beginners!, two days later. She featured her brother Eli doing her makeup in her second video. She continued to make videos related to makeup tutorials, beauty routines, DIY, challenges, lifestyle vlogs, and fashion, and amassed a large fan base. She has called her channel a chameleon channel because she likes trying out different types of videos. Apart from her two brothers, she has also featured her mother, her father, her husband and even her grandparents in her videos.
She has developed a close bond with her fans by making her videos up, close and personal. With her casual language and friendly tone, she makes her fans feel as if they are her best friends. She also often films herself with the camera up close to her face, like the video, GRWM for a DATE with my Boyfriend?! *i have some explaining to do*, in which she confided in her fans details about her relationship. Fans particularly love her series of videos featuring cheap hauls and her honest reviews testing overpriced celebrity products, which she tested to check their worth. She has not shied away from calling out Hollywood celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian for unreasonable products and has warned her viewers against wasting money on some celebrity brands.
Family Life
For the most part of her career, the only thing that was known about Mia Maples was that she was from Canada. She featured her brother Elijah aka Eli (who jokingly called himself Alfonzo) in her second video. She later featured her other brother Tate in several videos and reintroduced Elijah and his wife Hannah in the video WHAT NOT TO WEAR Extreme Makeover: Meet My Other Brother !! She has featured her mother, often called Mama Maples, in many of her videos and fans are very fond of their dynamic relationship. Mia revealed suffering from psoriasis since her teenage years in the video life update in May 2023.
In 2017-18, she had featured her then-boyfriend Luke in a couple videos like Boyfriend Buys My Outfits and Boyfriend Does My Makeup. However, she deleted those videos and later introduced her fiancé Stuart in Meet My Fiancé !! *answering all your questions* in January 2022. They got married in September 2022.
