Reading Your Assumptions About Me.. The Truth!

Do you lie so much about makeup products just to be in good terms with the brand? Oh guys. It's me, Nikkie. Hello. I don't think I'm ready for this video. Guys ever since the last month. I've been on YouTube for 11 years. Eleven. That is a decade and then some. I have literally grown up on YouTube. I went from a very insecure 14 year old to whatever the hell I am today And in 11 years, a lot of opinions can be formed, can be destroyed, can be brought up again. In 11 years, a lot of things can happen to a person that will form your opinion or assumptions about that person. So for today's video, I wanna grab the monster by the balls and talk about all the assumptions that you have about me. Im scared. I've actually been wanting to do this video for the longest time, but I was too scared and I was like people are gonna come for me. People are gonna hate me But I feel like I'm in a good place right now with YouTube and with my audience and I feel like it can be a lot more open and I'm actually kind of excited to see what you guys think of me and what kind of assumptions you have going around about me So while I answer and talk about all the assumptions, I'm also getting ready and doing my makeup because I have more recordings for Nikkie to the Rescue today. So uh, yeah Okay, let's go Alright, guys, let's get started shall we? First, I'm gonna prime using the Milk Hydro Primer I'm just gonna apply this and before we dive into all the all these specific sort of like assumptions that I'm seeing on Instagram I have a few that I want to clarify right off the bat. I think the number one assumption that I'm getting and I'm seeing hundreds and hundreds of these in my responses and that is you are rich AF and you don't show it off Let me be very open and honest about this. I make a lot of money I work hard for it I always try to improve myself, you know that I kind of like deserve my money since like working hard for it is like earning it. Yeah, I earn a lot of money, but I feel like a lot of people Think that I have a whole lot more money than I actually do. Like, let me put it this way I don't like talking about money because I feel like it's just like unnecessary to talk about But a lot of people feel like if I were to stop YouTube right now That I would be comfortable and I could sit out the rest of my life without ever moving a finger again That is false. And now I also think total honesty a lot of people think that I'm super super rich because everyone kind of assumes that I get paid for every single product that I mention in my videos and I feel like that's why I'm so proud of having my symbol system in my videos Ever since I've introduced that I feel like a lot of people are like, oh like she barely does anything sponsored You know with my symbol system. I very clearly Clarify when I buy my own products when something is sent to me in PR for free I don't get paid to talk about the product whenever you see a little symbol that says ad is when I am getting paid to talk about that certain product now look back at My videos there aren't a lot of ads in there because I barely take on any Sponsorships now I personally have always felt more secure with codes and make less money with codes But I feel like it's more open and honest like it's totally up to you like if you like the product and you're Interested in it because of my video and you want to save some money and use an affiliate code that I use I feel like that's way more transparent and that gives you more power than a sponsored video now do I think sponsor videos are bad? Absolutely not. I will do them in the future But you know it, you know It kind of really depends so that whole stigma of nikkietutorials getting paid for every single product in your videos Not true. I am now going in with one of my all-time favorite concealers. This is my Marc Jacobs This is called the Accomplice. It is one of my all-time favorites I just don't talk about on my channel a lot because I feel like since I'm so like involved with Marc Jacobs I don't want people to feel like I'm just talking about because I'm involved with them So I sometimes feel like it's hard for me to talk about Marc Jacobs, but I should own it and be proud of it So Accomplice is going underneath my eyes and I'm using a very warm color underneath my eyes to cancel out any darkness and Yasmine says after a long time you're finally confident in yourself physically, emotionally, and skillfully and I feel like Yasmine has a really valid point there because in those 11 years on YouTube I have grown so much as a person. I have learned so much as the person heck I Shared my life with you guys and I feel like it has made me a better person Physically, emotionally, and skillfully. You know, I don't talk about this often But I feel like YouTube has really changed me for the better I was so insecure and I really doubted myself in everything that I did and as soon as I started my channel And I started editing my own videos I kind of started seeing myself in a different light Because I saw what you guys are watching and not what I had going on in my mind It's almost like stepping outside of your body and looking at yourself as a different human being, you know I had this like outgoing persona on YouTube and in real life I was so shy and so insecure and so quiet that After a while I was like why am I not in? Real life what I'm projecting for the world to see so throughout the years YouTube really taught me to be my true and authentic self throughout the years You definitely see me becoming more outgoing more loud and more myself so in a way YouTube was my therapy and truly becoming more confident in my skin and you know feeling more Confident in front of people really and when I was just talking about same goes for my skills, you know looking back I'm like girl you thought that was blending that was Scratching and making things patchy right now I feel like I have a technique that I'm comfortable with and I know that works and it took me goddamn 11 years for me to finally comfortable in my skills, but yeah, I'm proud of what I'm able to create nowadays Leilani says I think you're secretly more in love with sheer makeup than You say you are I knew do you see my face right now No Liberty Rose says that you're married, but you won't tell us Trust me when I get married. You are the first I'm gonna tell. Well, and my mom Okay, so literally no one is assuming that I'm about to do my brows on camera.
