“Before I start, I search the internet for hours looking for inspiration - I look…” — NikkieTutorials

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.

My mom does skin coaching -- she'll look at your skin and come up with a plan to improve it or to keep it the way it is -- at Huidinstituut de Orchidee.
