A few years ago, famous YouTube makeup celebrity NikkieTutorials decided to reveal to the world the power of makeup. She was fed up with remarks from people that labeled other people who love makeup. Calling them shallow, self-centered, or basic. It was then that Nikkie decided to show the internet once and for all exactly how makeup can change one’s face. Perhaps unbeknownst to her at the time, some of the best beauty gurus would respond en masse following Nikkie’s lead to create what would eventually become known as the makeup power challenge.
Soon, some of the best makeup artists on the internet responded to the challenge and created their own videos to showcase the transformative property of makeup. They tried to add confidence or show people a way to express their moods. It didn’t end there though, as other makeup artists took to social media to show off their own amazing makeup before and after photos, as well as their thoughts on what makeup means to them.
