What a wonderful video! I’m a 74 year old lady that has fallen in love with watching you! This video made me realize just how much I enjoy your sweet soul! Thank you for sharing with all of us!!!
I’m 70 and feel the same way. I also adore her makeup tutorials are epic. My sister as a model and I’ve been wearing makeup forever. I learn so much from this amazing woman. You are not an old lady. You have a world of experience. Be well.
Yes!! I second this! I’m a 52 year old with a husband 10 years younger than me! Married for 18 years!! Age IS just a number 😊 I also thoroughly enjoy your content! ❤
Nikki, you've got to be the MOST GENUINE & MOST HUMBLE person I watch on RU-vid. I adore your personality and I am EXTREMELY THANKFUL for the MEGA TALENT you share with us. I completely get the CAPRICORN vibe 💯%, as I am one, too. Keep doing what you and Mitch do. YOU BOTH HAVE THE "IT FACTOR"!!! Love ya, KIMBER (Your Austin, Texas Super Fan/Dedicated Subscriber)🥰😘🤘
This was really sweet and kind of you and Mitch to put in such time to allow all of us to get to know you a little better. It’s so nice to find that personalities you enjoy watching are actually wonderful people 😊. As usual, your makeup looks really beautiful in this video too - thanks for sharing so much! ❤
I found you through Susan Yara’s channel. I enjoy learning about makeup techniques and new products without spending a small fortune first. Just want to say how much I enjoyed this Q&A. You are delightful and I love how warmly you speak of your sister and mom (I’m old enough to be your mom!!). My 8 yo granddaughter loves makeup and we watch your videos together ❤. Her mom wonders where grandma learns about cool makeup. 😂 Keep up the good work. You are awesome!!
What an amazing video! You are the most sincere, legit, humble, sweet, generous with your time, down to earth person. I enjoy and look forward to all your videos and can’t wait to meet you in person when you do the master class 😊 Btw I love Mitch’s comment “she is a sour patch kid” ❤️❤️ thank you for sharing your time with us.
I don’t even wear makeup I just watch your videos for the love of your artistry, craft, and beautiful personality - don’t let the negative people get you down because you bring joy to so many people 🫶
This is probably one of my favorite videos, I love "get to know you" videos. You are an old soul and I love that!!! Thank you for sharing so much of yourself, it's been a pleasure to get to know you.
Espero que hables español :) Soy de Gran Canaria, una pequeña isla española. Llevo siguiéndote desde hace unos días y estoy totalmente enganchada a tu canal. Nunca he sido mucho de maquillarme pero de repente me ha interesado. Estoy en la búsqueda de todo lo que necesito y me has ayudado mucho. Aunque por lo que veo es difícil elegir un solo producto de cada cosa. De momento intentaré reducirlo todo lo posible y con el tiempo ya veremos. Darte las gracias por tu ayuda, y decirme que lo haces increíble! Si no hablas español pues te escribo en inglés pero como dijiste que tienes descendencia latina… Ha sido un gusto conocerte mejor!
Nikki you are such a beautiful person inside and out. I thoroughly enjoy all the information you provide. I’m in my 60’s and still want beautiful skin. You have been very helpful in suggesting products. I look forward to a new you tube video. You and Mitch make such an adorable couple.
Nikki this was so much fun ❤. Also i am older and sometimes my hands are a bit shaky so i have started holding my brushes like you do and have a lot more control.! 🥰
The moment u talked about the small ring that your mom gave you, I was so emotional. Somehow this video keeps making me so emotional, and when you say you met your prince charming. Seriously, i am so happy hearing your stories; i cried happily because I can see happiness in your eyes, and I can tell you have been through a lot to be the version of you today. You deserve the world. You r the most humble influencer I have ever ever watched ❤❤❤
I completely agree Nikki. Being a makeup artist is an incredibly gruelling and incredibly exhausting career. It’s SO difficult to do it with young kids too. No one ever sees that side of it but I couldn’t agree more.
Do you ever go to the antique flea market in San Juan Batista? It’s on the 1st Sunday in August every year. (At least it used to be when I lived in CA! ) it’s huge!!
I'm a 4 on the floor girlie too! My husband comments on it all the time. Led Zeppelin is also my fave. I love watching your videos. I trust your advice and you are so soothing to watch. 🙏Thank you for working so hard to keep these going.
I love that you like Led Zeppelin! I’ve love LZ since I was very young! I’m interested in your favorite song. Although, that’s a difficult question! Who can pick just one of their songs?
I was so suprised to hear you have German heritage! Would have never thought that because you have such a lovely tan!! But was pretty intrigued to get to know that about yourself because I‘m German 😊 send your dad „Liebe Grüße“ (best wishes) from me 😊😊😊
Just discovered your channel. So enjoy all of your videos! I’m 62 and would also love to adopt you 😂. Learning a lot about makeup and much of what you teach I can apply to my mature skin
Please I was gushing at Nikki listening to Mitch answering what he loves about her 🙈 I absolutely loved and needed these. I love your makeup artistry, and I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate all the other "older sister" advice you share, Nikki. Much love from the Philippines 💖💖
Thank you so much Nikki for your time today. Really love your videos. Are you able to do a video of must haves for mature ladies. I find it so daunting and confusing and have so many items and not sure on how to use them!!!!! Sending hugs from OZ Australia 🇦🇺
Ah Nikki! I’ve been watching from the early days of your channel and you are such a delight. You present your knowledge with such grace and charm. We recently started homeschooling our kids and we love it. Love seeing successful and creative homeschoolers out in the world. Edit to add my 7-year-old is a Capricorn and I’m so gonna call him the Sour Patch kid from now on- it’s too accurate. Adding: have you guys been to the Zimmerman car museum in El Segundo? You can sit in all the old cars and on Sundays the have the cutest volunteers that will drive you around. There’s also an ice cream shop inside. Highly recommend! Was just there will my family and everyone loved it.
So fun to watch!! Ok, so the only critique I have to say about this WHO THE HECK WOULD SAY ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT YOU???? You are so real and true and just have this heart warming personality and you can just tell you are are just so sweet both inside and outside.
The only time I have heard "4 on the floor" was from my best friends mom. It meant when my friend had a boy over in her room, the door had to be open and both people had to have their feet on the floor, so 4 (feet) on the floor.
Well,i already knew all this but it was nice to hear it again. I also found you trough Susan Yara,and i found Susan during Covid lockdown,so for me lockdown was sooo fun. I learned soooo much,i have a skincare routine because of Susan 🙈🤗 I love u both ❤
You are a beautiful, what I call my-Self, Hinze-57, Hispanic is a beautiful culture why I moved to Mexico and have adored "Mexicans" (no they do not call themselves "Hispanic", they are PROUD to be of the Mexican culture and I love love love them! It is the US who has labeled Mexicans as "Hispanic" thinking "politically correct" I say screw the US and its politics). Be Mexican and be proud! I moved to Mexico at the age of 40 and I have lived 65 years living here in Mexico for over 24 years left the US never looked back, and I have tons of tattoo's including on both boobs and I have zero regrets, I love them all!
OMG! Glendale! I grew up right next door in Eagle Rock!!! I’ll be one of your first students for your master class! I took a break from makeup artistry to raise my daughter. Now I am currently building my kit, booking clients, and expanding my reach! And although the basics are still there in my head… formulations, techniques and trends are sooooo different!
Nooo Nikki you left me hanging! As a fellow Hispanic I’ve been dying to know, what exactly is your mothers background. You went into the specifics with your dad but with your mom you just used the umbrella term Hispanic, which can mean anything. I love you and your content regardless, I’m just very curious.
I’m a new subscriber and loved this video and learning about you and Mitch…referring to your comment about matching face to body with foundation…I’m the same…my face is sooo pale, I once had a person on my delivery route, (FedEx courier..24 yrs), ask if I bleached my face…whaaaaattt?? hahahaha…you are FABULOUS…don’t change❤
(Nancy A) Wow Nikki, this was such a pleasure to watch. I already think the world of you, but I didn't think that it was possible to think the UNIVERSE of you. Well, I sure do. Learning more about your life was so interesting too. Your beauty comes from the inside out, Nikki, and I wish you and Mitch a lifetime of happiness and good health, always. Thanks for the honorable mention! 💗😃😘😍💗
I love your eyes here Nikki and that lipstick! Basically, I love the look! Thank you for being more open here on RU-vid! Every video you make is really worth it to watch, IMHO, you’re the most helpful and honest MUA here and you inspire me to look presentable everyday! ❤
This was awesome. I loved this - so glad you did this. The whole idea of this platform is make personal connections and share. What a great way to embrace us...speaking of hugs. This was a virtual hug. Thanks Nikki!
Great content every time! Have been learning much about application methods. Love your jewelry as well, especially these earrings. Do you mind sharing which designer/brand they are?
Ok…. I have dark long color treated hair… What is the best shampoo and conditioner???Since you were talking about hair?? please respond.. So glad I found your channel… Really enjoy ALL the content 😁❤️ Thanks..😁
What a great video! I only recently found your channel so it was really cool getting to know more about you. We could be twins with the music & movie taste 🙂🙂 I would scoop up jewelry so fast from Mitch. Those pieces are fabulous!
Wow we are super similar. I lived my entire life being told & believing that I was a Sagittarius, right on the cusp. (My bday is December 21st.) Come to find out last year during my first birth chart reading, that I am actually a freaking Capricorn!! I guess it has to do with my birth time. No wonder I felt so different than the typical Sagittarius friends I had growing up… they were a little mean, or had mean tendencies, among other things, and that’s just not me or who I am at all. Anyway, I wonder if that’s why we’re so like-minded! Sending you so much love! I’m new to your channel & just started doing my makeup for the first time EVER & I’m 30 years old 😂 I was never a fan of makeup, until last year. I rlly stopped taking care of myself after I became a mom. It was only last October I started getting into watching makeup tutorials for fun aka YOU and now I’m starting to understand the joy of doing my makeup & just taking better care of myself all around. Thank you for your inspiration, Nikki! Thanks to you, I have discovered a whole new world of self-care. I appreciate all you do. 🙏🏽🦋🕉️🧿 Side note: I have two evil eye necklaces that I’ve worn for years that are my fav necklaces & I often gift them to my close friends. If anyone is interested, they’re from M jewelers. If you subscribe, they’re constantly having 60% off or sometimes even 70% off sales. They not the best lasting, but they still work for a couple years & then when they break, you can ship them back to the jeweler & they will fix it for you for free. Hope this helps anyone, looking for dope jewelry! 💓
I am shocked no one asked what your astro sign was! That’s all I wanted to know! Lol! I totally had you pegged as a Pisces! Now im wondering if your rising sign is pisces. I’m a new subscriber and I have REALLY loved your vibe and your content so much! 🫶
Wait!! Nikki, I bought my wedding dress on asos too 🤣! And I returned it (lol!). My 5 year anniversary is coming up this year too. congrats to you and thank you for being so open and honest in the video. You seem so warm and genuine and i appreciate all the info you share! 💖
Oh my gosh! Where do I start? I could listen to you all day. First of all I love your heart. I too am in the same industry where our clients really do tell us their heart and soul, and sometimes, depending on the day, it can be so hard. We try so hard to be evertything to them. I can’t tell you over the 44 years that I’ve done hair, that I’ve wanted to go home and pull the covers over my head. I use to work at least 10 hours a day with out a break until one day , I went home and cried and cried. I was so tired, and emotionally drained, I had to call 25% of my clientele and refer them on. It was hard. I understand u. A therapist once told me, you really need to take time for your self each week. Do something you love Nikki for you. I love that u and Mitch have an incredible relationship and friendship. I watched him do your makeup today also and laughed my a$$ off. I have also heard him do a voice over on one of your videos. It was hilarious. I can’t believe he knows all the language. So sweet. You are so talented. Have a joyful life. Do what you heart desires. I can say, if I was going to do anything any different, I would have had kids. They add so many other layers of life compared to just working . Anyway, stay strong, and ignore mean people. Xxooxxs♥️🌹💄
While listening to this. I really get you girl. And also with the love Language thing, I’m the same. I love love love gifting ! But I have a really hard time accepting gifts. How funny. Thank you so much for this video. I have really been enjoying your videos. I am newer follower. But so glad I found your channel ❤
Thanks for this video. Your answers just confirmed why I love to follow you so much. Although I'm way older than you, I can use your trick and tips to make me a better version of myself. Thank you and Mitch for your great work🇨🇦❤❤😁
Agree about the mean comments. “Misery loves company” is the perfect quote for that. I say that constantly. And kudos to the classic cars! We own a ‘66 Mustang hardtop and love it. It’s beautiful, loud and obnoxious. I tell my husband that’s why we got married. If he sells the car then he may as well sell me too!
I just really appreciate you as a human being honestly first and fore most, I just really enjoy your spirit, I just feel like your vibe that is so artistic and loving, anyway thank you for sharing and being so genuine, sometimes I do spiral too, just depends on what is going on, 2023 was a very hard year for me as whole, some things were beautiful, many things were, some things were just profoundly difficult, some days I do spiral and I feel the same way I just feel disappointed in myself, but I think as we can see how we can share in our humanity together we can strengthen the kindness and love in the world together, keep doing what you do, I appreciate your work and you in your human-ness!!
I always wondered what your heritage was!! I love knowing those things. It’s interesting. I do not look Hispanic at all even though my mom is completely Panamanian.
Hello Gorgeous you are so cool you are the first beauty influencer/ make-up artist that I ever watched on youtube and you are so real and down to earth and sooo lovely you can tell how lovely of a person you are even tho I don't know u in real life you can just tell. You have taught me so much and I'm so grateful for your videos and tutorials and it's so freaking cool that you're a Capricorn so am I! my bday is January 19th and I'll be 32 not really looking forward to it but it feels so much cooler now that I know you're a Capricorn too anyways just wanted to tell you how awesome I think you are hope your having a good day ❤ from Oklahoma City
Im a Capricorn too! It’s funny because I heard that earth signs are drawn to each other and I started watching your videos because of your cool, down to earth vibes but had no idea you were a Capricorn. You have fantastic recommendations and I appreciate that you Include a variety of products and tell us who they work best for, It has helped me pick products for my oily sensitive skin and save my money when it comes to popular products that are good but most likely won’t work for me
I don’t understand how I didn’t know about you before. You’re such a joy to listen to and watch… very sad for my bank account though because consider me influenced
Where is the waiting list for the tour?! I want to meet you so much. I never knew I like makeup so much until I started watching your videos. I picture a lisa and Nikki in Austin or Houston 🙏
This is so sweet. You just seem so down to earth and a person that everyone would want to be friends with. I also love Antique stores and “classic items” (and obviously makeup 😋). You are a blessing on the internet. God bless.
Loved this video! I thought I was the only Led Zep fan left on the planet - obsessed with classic rock (my father had a huge collection of records…) You & Mitch are adorbs 🥰 New subscriber 👍
Totally agree 💗 you are human ...and the type of work I do. People in general are not nice . So when I get off, Definitely need to be positive. Totally awesome person, you and your husband 💓💓💓 Thanks You 💗
I loved this video. I really appreciate the advice you gave me. I appreciate you answering all of our questions. You are amazing and this made me more of a fangirl if that was even possible.
You are gorgeous inside and out . I also love Vintage stores and wandering up and down the rows of beautiful items wondering about the history behind and Led Zeppelin is my favorite band ! ❤❤
Nikki, what an amazing Q&A. Thank you so much for being so transparent and honest. Love ya so much for being YOU!!! Thank you so much as I enjoyed this so much. Your precious sweetie.
I realize I’m super late watching this Q&A but I can’t help but comment on the fact that your appreciation of older movies/films is so refreshing, I’m nearly 40 but I am all about some Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd! And having older parents, compared to most my age, is the reason I will always love watching Old Humphrey Bogart films so hearing you mention that made my heart feel warm and fuzzy! I love how you spread beauty all over the world, best of luck to you and Mitch in all you do!!!!!
I lived in Glendale I am now up the hill in La Crescenta. I lived on Grandview Ave. in Glendale. Do you go to the Galleria or downtown Glendale. Great new restaurants.
Thank you for sharing and being so raw and real! I think you are absolutely gorgeous, talented and extremely kind for sharing your professional skills. ❤I’m so thankful your friend Susan finally got through to you!!!!🥰
