Make-up, shake-up: Tutorial video shows the power of cosmetics

A make-up tutorial video has been making the rounds on social media recently.

The video features Nikki, a 21-year old YouTuber who goes by the alias NikkiTutorials, showing the power of make-up as she transforms half her face with cosmetics, while leaving the other half make-up free.

Nikki, who has reached nearly one million subscribers, speaks to the audience in the beginning of her video explaining the reason behind the post: “I've been noticing a lot lately that girls have been almost ashamed to say that they love make-up, 'cause nowadays, [if] you say that you love make-up, you either do it because you want to look good for boys, you do it because you're insecure, or you do it because you don't love yourself.”

“'I just want people to know that make-up is fun and there are no rules to make-up.”
