I agree totally with you on how people treat you differently with makeup and clothing choice. I'm a ministers wife and get scrutinized when I run into someone. If possible could you do makeup on a mature model. I am 65 and fight against dark circle and fine lines and wrinkles. I have dry skin also. I also have the one hooded eye. Thanks for your good work.
I’m a nanny and I feel much better with my makeup on. Although the baby wipes half off but I don’t care. Today I’m sick and had to hide my cold with pretty peach cheeks.
Yes, to the mature makeup tutorial. I have the same issues with undereye lines and wrinkles and makeup settling into them no matter what I have tried! TY for considering.
Have you tried Skin fix under eye cream? I highly recommend it before putting on your color corrector concealer game changer! Use a little as Nikki says under eye creams only little bit goes a long way so I highly suggest you to use skin fix
I'm absolutely treated different depending on how I'm dressed and if I have makeup on, at some places. Not Nordstrom, though. I can go in there looking like he'll, and if I ask them to put that LaPrarie on me, they sure are happy to do it, and they'll go the extra mile and also offer me the Cle de Peau. I love Nordstrom!!!
@@deann3621so basically I went to Sephora and the lady she put that eye cream on first to see if it can make a difference to my under eye, it was magic!!! I was like wait what? It was literally creasing before even with the moisturizer so I learned skin fix is actually worth in investing. I know it’s expensive but skin fix under eye cream is worth getting ♥️ it’s water for your under eyes😊
If I hired someone to do my makeup, I'd look at their makeup first. Do they look like they know what they're doing? Great job, Nikki! Thank you for the great content and integrity!
I agree. Unfair or not, it kinda reflects that you care and took time to show you care what the clients thinks of you. That their appt is important to you.
NIKKI, I am remiss in never saying this before: "You are absolutely beautiful!" AND "You are such a lovely person." Your manner and aura are wonderfully inviting and comforting. Thank you, as always, for all you do. ❤❤❤
@@BadCatMath oh my gosh. Suzanne!!! This is the sweetest compliment, thank you so so much! And thank YOU for always always showing me so much love on my channel. It does not go unnoticed that’s for sure!! 🥹❤️❤️
Thanks! As a hairdresser in the 70’s I too believed in going to work with hair and makeup done. I think it affects how people look at you as a professional. I just bought the NARS eye shadow stick and can’t wait to try it!! Have a great day.
@@SassiegmainVegas thank you so so much for the super thanks!!!! And I’m glad you agree with me, it does make a difference!!! Hope you love the nars shadow stick!!❤️❤️❤️
YES, I struggle with completely asymmetrical eyes and it's my biggest insecurity 😢 one very hooded and more "droopy", one only slightly hooded but manageable. I would love to see you make more content about that, you have already taught me so many tips and tricks for evening things out and making things look a bit more uniform. I love your "getting ready for work" Nikki Uncuts, they are my favorite! It's so relaxing getting ready together ☺️
NIKKI! Yes please 🙏 do video that will help us with unsymmetrical eye shapes and hooded eye! You are such a great teacher! Hope you have an awesome day!
Nikki. I love watching you do a wing liner. When I was younger, in my 30’s, I wore a wing everyday. Now that I’m 71, I can’t do it at all. I have hooded eyes and loose skin. Not too terrible, but it’s harder to achieve that look so I stopped a long time ago. You inspire me to do my makeup most days and yes, no matter how old we mature ladies are, we love to look good. Thank you for all you do to help us be the best we can be. Give your fur babies a kiss for me. Sending love and blessing to you and your handsome husband ✝️
Thank you Nikki, you are the best. Everyone is so time poor, I really appreciate this video, I just need a 10 minute 'work makeup routine' that is easy, simple and does the job, this video has been a great help!!
Hi Nikki! (Suzanne Young here) I missed Sunday's LIVE 😢 I hear you about CA traffic. I lived 40 years in the Bay Area and, boy, do I have traffic stories! We moved to upstate NY 2 years ago. No more traffic, EVER. 🎉 As always, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOU. ❤❤❤
@@lovelyritametermaid7445 We love it here. I grew up in NJ, so I'm an East Coast gal at heart. We live about 5 minutes from Saratoga Springs; it's such a lovely area. And we have met the nicest, most generous people. Thank you for asking!
Omy gosh of COURSE you wanna look and feel your best self! Nikki, you NEVER have to make excuses or apologies for that, no way! YOU GO GIRL! Luv ya to pieces! 😘😘😘
Hi Nikki, it is not just when you are a makeup artist. It is everywhere you show up. Looking like you care makes people treat you differently and with some respect. I work in health care and I wear makeup daily to work😊
Nikki, I totally agree with you about how professional people treat you with or without makeup on. You are beautiful inside and out, with or without makeup! It sure is fun to play and paint your face when you want too! 😊
As a hair stylist, I feel more confident when my hair and makeup look polished. I think clients are this and put confidence in me and my work. I also have hooded eyes and struggle with wings and lower eyeliner migration! Thank you, I have learned allot from you!
Hi Nikki!!! In my 20s, I loved makeup and wore it every day. I'm now in my 50s and I had kind of given up on makeup, but watching your videos has inspired me to try again. I love your way of teaching and explaining in such a calm, unpretentious manner. I even bought your brushes and I just love them... they make such a difference in the results one gets! I would LOVE it if you made a video/tutorial for medium/dark - dark skin tones... please, do so!!! 🤗
Yes, I have one hooded eye and one not hooded eye. I have learned so much from you on how to make them look more symmetrical. I would love for you to do a video on it. You're so cool. Gorgeous look. 💜
Hi Nikki! I would love more content on asymmetrical and hooded eyes. Both of my eyes are hooded but one more than the other to the point that my eyes look very different. The more hooded one is more almond shaped due to loose skin resting on my lashes weighing it down and the other is more round. Your content is always very helpful!
This was so awesome. We all have “ everyday” or “work look” makeup. I even put on makeup to do yoga! I need to feel complete and put together! Thanks for validating my feelings. Oh and I ordered the whole set of your brushes today! Can’t wait to get them!
If I was being made up by an artist, I would expect them to wear make up. For me it's part of professionalism and representing your profession and showing your skill set. If the artist didn't wear make up, I would feel a 'can't be bothered' vibe from the beginning. Your make up always looks amazing, you are an incredible artist and come across as such a lovely person!
So glad i tried your recommendation for elf brow wow. I absolutely love it. It is so easy to apply, cuts down on my application time and gives fabulous finish. I was using the mac brow pencil for decades!
I would love more tips on unsymmetrical eyes and brows lol! I have one that's more hooded like yours and I feel like I can NEVER get my eyes to look even close to the same. Thanks Nikki! You're makeup turned out beautiful as always!
Nikki- you are not alone with hooded eyes! I have the same issue with lining my hooded eyes especially the right eye. I’ve been late to work many times struggling to get my wing liner symmetrical. Would love more video tutorials on this topic. I’m a former professional makeup artist and new to your channel. You are the ABSOLUTE BEST at explaining and presenting makeup in an approachable and usable manner!! I’ve rediscovered my passion and talent for makeup since watching your videos the last few weeks so THANK YOU!!! ❤❤
@pinktiger98 I have hooded eyes. I no longer use eyeliner. Get eyelash extensions. I get tons of compliments makes my eyes look better. Eyeshadow n eyelash extensions. I get tons of compliments.
Nikki, I want you to know sweetheart that I've learned so much from you for 2 years, I am always doing my skincare or makeup routine while listening. I have the BK 16 + extension set and just ordered yours. Thank you so very much for sharing your girl secrets with us girls. Your honesty and integrity is clear. I don't know if you have kiddos but I hope you have a girl someday, she'll be president. I'll definitely vote for her! God bless honey.
You are truly beautiful with and without makeup - the best part of your videos is how extremely detailed you are - this helps enormously! I totally agree that it makes a huge difference when you wear makeup as to how people treat you and perceive you... have your brush set and have bought duplicates of ones I use all the time...
This is a great look, I have enjoyed your last few videos with your makeup grabs, and how you are incorporating these products into your daily routine! Yes, getting up at 4:30 to get dressed including a full neutral pretty makeup look, even for working telephone triage in an office in a clinic is important, and people respond accordingly when we make this effort - be it reasonable or not! In regard to struggling with features-for me, although I was not planning to - in my late 50’s I turned to procedures, in a relaxed, not a crazed manner. We all can have issues that we feel we want to deal with -and for me you are an example of how to live this aspect of your life gracefully. We are fortunate to have so many advances in Beauty - and care now. Xo Xo - ! :)
Good morning Nikki! Love your content! Thank you for all your hard work and sharing your knowledge with us. You’ve helped me so much doing my own makeup and on clients. You’re the best ❤️ I recommend your videos to literally everyone! Hope you have a great week !
Loving your channel! Everything about you is absolutely the sweetest! I love that so far you are not crude! Also loving your rant about wearing makeup to work. I mean to each their own but it is so true to “Dress how you would like to be Addressed”. Makeup is apart of your “dress”. LOVE! ❤ cannot wait to continue watching!
I love watching your videos your voice and aura is so soothing and down to earth. I have always found it soothing to watch others apply their makeup since I was a little girl watching my mom with all her merle norman and her cover girl midnight mauve lipstick. The whole process is therapy really.
Sometimes I get a bit of therapy from watching you. The daily grind you live through and juggle around then share is so relaxing. You mange your days wonderfully and then share this great info without sounding insane, whiny or depressed. It’s just a great day.
I recently found your channel and now I can’t stop watching your videos!! I don’t ever wear makeup, just never thought I didn’t it right, but after I watched your video for folks like me (non makeup wearers) I have worn makeup to work 2x this week!!! Your tips and suggestions have helped me so much!!! Thank you so so much!!!!
Nikki, you are so beautiful inside and out. I so appreciate your content. I watch EVERYTHING you post, sometimes several times. I pick up “pearls” every time and have improved my skin care and make up since subscribing to your channel. Please keep them coming as much as you can. It is clear that you are dedicated to your profession and are so incredibly talented.
Nikki, I first came across your channel last night, and all I can say is Wow, wow, wow! You are so amazing, respectful, honest and passionate! Btw, there is no way you can ever look like a 'monster'. You are a true beauty, inside and out. I will definitely keep watching!❤
Thank you for all your wonderful teaching and tips Nikki! I always have more trouble doing a wing on my R eye and I’m right handed. My eyes are not hooded but maybe getting a touch that way as I get older (in my 50s) but one is a bit more so than the other so you’re not alone. I think it’s noticeable only to me as I do my makeup. No one is completely symmetrical. And In Terms of doing makeup on beautiful people all day, I think most of us would agree that you are just as beautiful as any of them on any day! Inside and out! You look gorgeous as usual.
Totally soothing. Love your videos you have the calmest voice. Someone said to me that putting on your make up is like meditation and that is so true, I have learnt so many tips from watching your videos thank you ❤
Yes! Please do some tutorials for hooded eyes, I have one eye that is more hooded than the other too, so you're definitely not alone in that and trying to balance them is quite difficult!
I literally was going to ask about how to balance my eyeliner/eyeshadow because YESSSS 😭! I’m so happy I found you because here you are with my same eye shape 😅!
Nikki, I love your perspective on how you like to be put together, when you go to your jobs. Right or wrong. I agree with the aesthetics that come with that. As a consumer, if I were to go to a hair stylist for the first time, and her hair is a mess, it would make me weary of her touching my hair. People such as; makeup artists, hair stylists, fashion stylists, even those working in make up stores - are essentially walking business cards for their business. When I worked in the construction industry, I would say that our job sites were our business card. Potential clients would see if our sites were well maintained, or if they were a hot mess, which could affect them wanting to use us for future jobs.
Love your look, Nikki. Understated but polished, great for the office or wherever the workplace is. 😍 I'm a fan of Kosas Cloud Set, too. Breezy is the shade I use. I'm 61 with normal to dry skin, and I find it's great as a finishing/setting powder that blurs nicely. My favorite powder (never cakey).
My mother was a hairdresser and she always was put together for work. For all the same reasons you mentioned but specifically because she wanted to make sure she was confident when looking at herself in the mirror all day. I think you're just smart!!!
Stunning look! Don’t worry about the silence we are intently watching you! Concentrating. My eyes are crazy. One side applies so different than the other!
Nikki, Thank You so much for all your tips and tricks! I love how honest you are and I also like to get to work one hour early to find parking and do my make up… the natural light helps! Also, I need help with my eyes and eyeliners. I’ve tried many eyeliners including waterproof and it still smudges. Our motion picture industry is very shallow but looking out together it goes along way. It’s shows you not only care about yourself but you will care for the client.
You are so beautiful inside and out btw. I actually just had the surgery to lift my very hooded eyes. Now the eye that was higher is lower now, however I am able to see better but would love to learn how to make them more even. DDecker
I’m hope your clients appreciate your skills and work ethic as much as your viewers do. I can’t imagine a makeup artist not wearing makeup in front of a client or whoever is employing them. To me it shows a lack of pride in their own appearance or arrogance in that they are too important to make that effort. That’s what bugs me in general about women who’ve given up putting their best face forward, so to speak. Keep inspiring us in the best way.
What would not look good on you? I’ve never seen such flawless skin. It’s incredible. What a testament to great make up application. I agree on the trust building issue. If you take good care of your own skin and take the time to look good, it lends credibility to your skill and knowledge.
You could show up anywhere in your robe, curlers and slippers and STILL look better than the rest of us!!!! Thanks for another great, informative and impactful video. Love from just one of your many adoring subscribers.❤
Former Angeleno here! Lived there over decade. And you talking about leaving as early as possible for work and then doing your make up there resonates! 😂
I love your Nicki Uncut videos! I find it so relaxing to watch you doing your makeup, while at the same time learning the right way to do my own makeup. I really enjoy your channel! ❤😊
I have a double hood on one eye now that I'm 48 so you're not the only one. Basically I'm getting a wrinkle on one eye and the other I don't have one. You're def not the only person with asymmetrical issues. You're absolutely a gorgeous woman inside and out!❤ ❤❤❤
Loved this one. The L’Oréal panorama is my go to mascara!! Love Naturium lip balms - my fav combo is Berry Naturium lip balm over top of benetint lip stain. Absolute perfection 🤌🏼🤌🏼
True, people perceive and respond to us differently when we wear makeup and have our hair done. However, I believe our behavior changes when we engage in these activities. Mine does, and I do these things solely for myself. Doing them is something I enjoy, and it makes me feel good. If I feel good, I feel more confident, and it makes navigating life easier and more enjoyable. BTW, the designs of your BK brushes are what I was looking for back when I was behind the chair full-time.
As a former MUA and present day Navy sailor I agree that wearing makeup to work shows professionalism. As an MUA it builds trust, shows you care, and displays skill. As a sailor it shows you care, you are disciplined to wake up timely and be presentable, you aren’t rushing to work and looking like a sh*t bag. Excuse my language. I notice a huge difference in character of those around me when I have a professional appearance.
My grandfather taught me if you are on time you are late. Im always early. Thank you for not cutting anything. I love seeing the whole peocess. I watch every video you make. Love you have a great weekend!❤
you are so wise, intelligent, articulate, and hardworking. I respect you so so so much and am going to buy your BK brush set the next time I’m making a purchase!
Ok Nikki! I've watched this twice now and just bought the Hermes bronzer!!!! I've been thinking about it and I finally pulled the trigger! Thank you so much for all you do. I'm so excited for the merch!! Can't wait. Love you my beautiful friend ❤❤
TYSM for this great tutorial! I love your content and love your blush suggestion! I've never shopped so quick for a cream blush, sight unseen before lol! I've been looking for a great cream blush recommendation and knew you'd be the one! Thx!!
Nikki I love you so fkn much that was so real! I feel you girl you’re Beautiful and I love your content and your soul! Thank you for keeping it real and being you!
The uncut are so helpful for my makeup game because I've found my base has been much more flawless now that I blend for much longer than I thought was necessary ❤❤
I so excited for this sale!!!! I literally just ordered the N14 brush!!! I just can’t wait for it to be in my hands!!!! 🙌 😂❤ I have been waiting for this brush to get back in stock for the longest! 😂😂😂 I’m celebrating!!🎉
After watching an older video from you where you mention this driving to location then doing it in the car… I started doing this too. My thing is I have 2 young kids so doing makeup around them at home is chaotic at best. Im so much more relaxed and enjoy it more doing it in the car after I arrive! I can be expedient without kids around too. Thanks for the great tip! ❤
Hi Nikki, Each of your eyes is beautiful separately, and together you are uniquely beautiful! There is an ethereal quality to your beauty. You remind me of an enchanting forest fairy. You are my most favorite MUA to watch on RUclips.
I love you uncut! It is soothing and relaxing to me 😘❤️ In a professional environment you should look like you are going to work. It is a professional standard, and it is what it is. Thank you for being honest with your thoughts. People miss out on opportunities because they didn't put effort into their appearance, and look like they just crawled out of bed.
My favorite youtuber! I have hooded eyes and have learned to work with them and not against them over the years haha- I always love any tips for hooded eyes, and I would love any tips from you especially!
Nikki uncut is seriously my favorite ❤ugh I need everything from this video. You make me laugh so much. Thanks for everything you do! I just purchased your brushes, YAY!!! Love you ❤❤❤

I can relate! 🙋♀️
Same! The absolute struggle to get the eyeliner to look even when your own eyes are a bit uneven!
Yes I am so sick of my left eye hanging. It is such a drag when I do my makeup. I will share that botox and the ZIIP device can help tremendously ❤
NIKKI! Yes please 🙏 do video that will help us with unsymmetrical eye shapes and hooded eye! You are such a great teacher! Hope you have an awesome day!

I mean to each their own but it is so true to “Dress how you would like to be Addressed”. Makeup is apart of your “dress”. LOVE! ❤ cannot wait to continue watching!
I love watching your videos your voice and aura is so soothing and down to earth. I have always found it soothing to watch others apply their makeup since I was a little girl watching my mom with all her merle norman and her cover girl midnight mauve lipstick. The whole process is therapy really.
NIKKI SHOULD HAVE 1M SUBS. YALL NEED TO SMASH THE LIKE BUTTON
Sometimes I get a bit of therapy from watching you. The daily grind you live through and juggle around then share is so relaxing. You mange your days wonderfully and then share this great info without sounding insane, whiny or depressed. It’s just a great day.
I recently found your channel and now I can’t stop watching your videos!! I don’t ever wear makeup, just never thought I didn’t it right, but after I watched your video for folks like me (non makeup wearers) I have worn makeup to work 2x this week!!! Your tips and suggestions have helped me so much!!! Thank you so so much!!!!
Nikki, you are so beautiful inside and out. I so appreciate your content. I watch EVERYTHING you post, sometimes several times. I pick up “pearls” every time and have improved my skin care and make up since subscribing to your channel. Please keep them coming as much as you can. It is clear that you are dedicated to your profession and are so incredibly talented.
YES!! Please do more content on asymmetrical eyes!!!! I have hooded eyes, but one is more hooded than the other, just like yours!! 😜
You have the most flawless skin I've ever seen.
I thoroughly enjoyed this Nikki un-cut!! You're lots of fun and relaxing, thank you! Looking forward to more!
Oh my god i totally agree with everything you said about wearing makeup at work!!! 💯 i m not a makeup artist but whatever you said goes for everyone…
Nikki, I first came across your channel last night, and all I can say is Wow, wow, wow! You are so amazing, respectful, honest and passionate!
Btw, there is no way you can ever look like a 'monster'. You are a true beauty, inside and out.
I will definitely keep watching!❤
Thank you for all your wonderful teaching and tips Nikki! I always have more trouble doing a wing on my R eye and I’m right handed. My eyes are not hooded but maybe getting a touch that way as I get older (in my 50s) but one is a bit more so than the other so you’re not alone. I think it’s noticeable only to me as I do my makeup. No one is completely symmetrical. And In Terms of doing makeup on beautiful people all day, I think most of us would agree that you are just as beautiful as any of them on any day! Inside and out! You look gorgeous as usual.
Totally soothing. Love your videos you have the calmest voice. Someone said to me that putting on your make up is like meditation and that is so true, I have learnt so many tips from watching your videos thank you ❤
Yes! Please do some tutorials for hooded eyes, I have one eye that is more hooded than the other too, so you're definitely not alone in that and trying to balance them is quite difficult!
I literally was going to ask about how to balance my eyeliner/eyeshadow because YESSSS 😭! I’m so happy I found you because here you are with my same eye shape 😅!
Nikki, I love your perspective on how you like to be put together, when you go to your jobs. Right or wrong. I agree with the aesthetics that come with that.
As a consumer, if I were to go to a hair stylist for the first time, and her hair is a mess, it would make me weary of her touching my hair.
People such as; makeup artists, hair stylists, fashion stylists, even those working in make up stores - are essentially walking business cards for their business.
When I worked in the construction industry, I would say that our job sites were our business card. Potential clients would see if our sites were well maintained, or if they were a hot mess, which could affect them wanting to use us for future jobs.
Love your look, Nikki. Understated but polished, great for the office or wherever the workplace is. 😍 I'm a fan of Kosas Cloud Set, too. Breezy is the shade I use. I'm 61 with normal to dry skin, and I find it's great as a finishing/setting powder that blurs nicely. My favorite powder (never cakey).
This was so great, Nikki! Thank you so much! I can’t express how much I’ve learned from you lately. You’re beautiful and genuine. Thank you.
My mother was a hairdresser and she always was put together for work. For all the same reasons you mentioned but specifically because she wanted to make sure she was confident when looking at herself in the mirror all day. I think you're just smart!!!
Stunning look! Don’t worry about the silence we are intently watching you! Concentrating. My eyes are crazy. One side applies so different than the other!
Yesssss on the hooded eye/ unsymmetrical eye content plz!!!
You are absolutely the best. I love how honest you are.
Nikki,
Thank You so much for all your tips and tricks!
I love how honest you are and I also like to get to work one hour early to find parking and do my make up… the natural light helps!
Also, I need help with my eyes and eyeliners. I’ve tried many eyeliners including waterproof and it still smudges.
Our motion picture industry is very shallow but looking out together it goes along way. It’s shows you not only care about yourself but you will care for the client.
Lovely look! Excellent work ethic you have! My dad used to say "if u arrive on time, you're late"
😂 true. I try for 15 minutes before my shift starts and I live a good hour away from work
You are so beautiful inside and out btw. I actually just had the surgery to lift my very hooded eyes. Now the eye that was higher is lower now, however I am able to see better but would love to learn how to make them more even. DDecker
I’m hope your clients appreciate your skills and work ethic as much as your viewers do. I can’t imagine a makeup artist not wearing makeup in front of a client or whoever is employing them. To me it shows a lack of pride in their own appearance or arrogance in that they are too important to make that effort. That’s what bugs me in general about women who’ve given up putting their best face forward, so to speak. Keep inspiring us in the best way.
Yes . I have one eyebrow higher than the other. As well as having one hooded eye.
What would not look good on you? I’ve never seen such flawless skin. It’s incredible. What a testament to great make up application. I agree on the trust building issue. If you take good care of your own skin and take the time to look good, it lends credibility to your skill and knowledge.
You could show up anywhere in your robe, curlers and slippers and STILL look better than the rest of us!!!! Thanks for another great, informative and impactful video. Love from just one of your many adoring subscribers.❤
Stunning! I'd be thrilled to give it a try 🌟
Former Angeleno here! Lived there over decade. And you talking about leaving as early as possible for work and then doing your make up there resonates! 😂
Time for Nikki mania!! Love to see how you do your daily makeup, this is what I need, simple yet gorgeous like you!!! ❤
I love your Nicki Uncut videos! I find it so relaxing to watch you doing your makeup, while at the same time learning the right way to do my own makeup. I really enjoy your channel! ❤😊
I absolutely loved this look. So so pretty. Thank you for sharing. And YES do more please!! lol.
You are the only make up artist who has make up on work!!
What?😂
I have a double hood on one eye now that I'm 48 so you're not the only one. Basically I'm getting a wrinkle on one eye and the other I don't have one. You're def not the only person with asymmetrical issues. You're absolutely a gorgeous woman inside and out!❤ ❤❤❤
Loved this one. The L’Oréal panorama is my go to mascara!! Love Naturium lip balms - my fav combo is Berry Naturium lip balm over top of benetint lip stain. Absolute perfection 🤌🏼🤌🏼
True, people perceive and respond to us differently when we wear makeup and have our hair done. However, I believe our behavior changes when we engage in these activities. Mine does, and I do these things solely for myself. Doing them is something I enjoy, and it makes me feel good. If I feel good, I feel more confident, and it makes navigating life easier and more enjoyable.
BTW, the designs of your BK brushes are what I was looking for back when I was behind the chair full-time.
Ooh love that bronzer trick on just the outer cheeks. Looks fantastic 😊
As a former MUA and present day Navy sailor I agree that wearing makeup to work shows professionalism. As an MUA it builds trust, shows you care, and displays skill. As a sailor it shows you care, you are disciplined to wake up timely and be presentable, you aren’t rushing to work and looking like a sh*t bag. Excuse my language. I notice a huge difference in character of those around me when I have a professional appearance.
I've never noticed your hooded eye until you pointed out 💜
Same
My grandfather taught me if you are on time you are late. Im always early. Thank you for not cutting anything. I love seeing the whole peocess. I watch every video you make. Love you have a great weekend!❤
you are so wise, intelligent, articulate, and hardworking. I respect you so so so much and am going to buy your BK brush set the next time I’m making a purchase!
I have that makeup bag! It is absolutely the best and looks really, really luxe. It fits everything and I truly can’t get over the cost!
Ok Nikki! I've watched this twice now and just bought the Hermes bronzer!!!! I've been thinking about it and I finally pulled the trigger! Thank you so much for all you do. I'm so excited for the merch!! Can't wait. Love you my beautiful friend ❤❤
TYSM for this great tutorial! I love your content and love your blush suggestion! I've never shopped so quick for a cream blush, sight unseen before lol! I've been looking for a great cream blush recommendation and knew you'd be the one! Thx!!
Nikki I love you so fkn much that was so real! I feel you girl you’re Beautiful and I love your content and your soul! Thank you for keeping it real and being you!
You’re gorgeous!!! Love the makeup.
The uncut are so helpful for my makeup game because I've found my base has been much more flawless now that I blend for much longer than I thought was necessary ❤❤
I so excited for this sale!!!! I literally just ordered the N14 brush!!! I just can’t wait for it to be in my hands!!!! 🙌 😂❤ I have been waiting for this brush to get back in stock for the longest! 😂😂😂 I’m celebrating!!🎉
I thoroughly enjoyed this video!!! Following you step by step I was able to pick up some blending tips…thank you…😊😊😊❤❤❤
Yes Nikki please more tips on wing. I have one more hooded and I am 60. So I need all the help I can get. 😂🎉
After watching an older video from you where you mention this driving to location then doing it in the car… I started doing this too. My thing is I have 2 young kids so doing makeup around them at home is chaotic at best. Im so much more relaxed and enjoy it more doing it in the car after I arrive! I can be expedient without kids around too. Thanks for the great tip! ❤
Hi Nikki, Each of your eyes is beautiful separately, and together you are uniquely beautiful! There is an ethereal quality to your beauty. You remind me of an enchanting forest fairy. You are my most favorite MUA to watch on RUclips.
I love you uncut! It is soothing and relaxing to me 😘❤️ In a professional environment you should look like you are going to work. It is a professional standard, and it is what it is. Thank you for being honest with your thoughts. People miss out on opportunities because they didn't put effort into their appearance, and look like they just crawled out of bed.
❤ I LOVE that you put a list of the products, you use, for the look ❤ thank you!
Dear Nikki - you are one of the sweetest and kindest women I have ever met! ❤
My favorite youtuber! I have hooded eyes and have learned to work with them and not against them over the years haha- I always love any tips for hooded eyes, and I would love any tips from you especially!
I have the exact same "problem eye", with it being hooded in my Left sinister eye. What a pain in the eye when drawing a wing.
Both of my eyes are now hooded. The right is worse than the left. I also have one naughty eyebrow too.
@@Trish76 Lolol
Nikki uncut is seriously my favorite ❤ugh I need everything from this video. You make me laugh so much. Thanks for everything you do! I just purchased your brushes, YAY!!! Love you ❤❤❤
