“One of the main inspirations behind The Power of Makeup was bullies and the one …” — NikkieTutorials

Before I start, I search the internet for hours looking for inspiration - I look at horror movies, special effects, everything. Then, I take a bunch of screenshots, and pile them together in Photoshop to create a story for myself. I plan it out in my head, but I don't ever practice beforehand.

When I was 17 I decided to go to makeup school to learn some of the technical, basic knowledge that sometimes you step over. Then, when I was 18, someone at YouTube reached out to me and asked if I wanted to monetize my videos.

I grew up in the Netherlands, in a small little town. Just a typical Dutch girl.

I've always believed that makeup is a form of self-expression and there is no shame in experimenting with it.
