We have a lot to talk about... | NikkieTutorials

at the family show so the show before the big live show at night someone stepped on that pink dress and as I was running to get to my marker on time I heard hello guys it's me nikki hello I'm back after a month and in the middle of nowhere we

have

a lot to

talk

about because a lot of things

have

happened. I just got back from, you know, just a casual hosting gig. I was one of the four presenters of the Eurovision Song Contest 2021. Now, if you are from the United States, We will soon know what this is all about because the United States will also have Eurovision, but then, America Vision, if you are looking for a host, hello , during the Eurovision Song Contest, not all European countries, but many European countries, submit a song in an act and compete for the Eurovision Song Contest trophy and um, it's a crazy and amazing festival where there are inclusion and the world is okay, Europe is just a celebration and I've always loved your vision, um, when you come back to my In the first video I uploaded here on my channel, you will hear the music of your vision in the background and yes, I was deleted copyright so in this video today I want to tell you all the ins and outs of who was rude and now who was a pain in the ass and who is finally going to get my 12 points because now I can finally

talk

about it so in the video Today I'm just going to sit there creating a fun makeup look for you and talking about my life because I've been crazy, but before we get to that, I'm teaming up with Foreo.

I've worked with them in the past and they're back with this device, the bear, so before we start all the makeup, there's going to be a lot of makeup. First, let's prepare our skin well, so let's get started. I really need some TLC for my skin. Has been through a lot. I've been teasing her so let's give her some love and today I'm working with Foreo Bear. This is the best option after a professional treatment at home, so this device has microcurrents now, if you don't know what microcurrents are, microcurrents are essentially a workout for your facial muscles that will keep everything defined and toned and keep you all tight and also deflated. and I have needed a lot of puffing this month.

I've seen devices like this in the past and tried them. I bought them, they were really very expensive, but the one thing that always happened was that once I liked wearing it. my skin hit me, it gave me a little electricity for my skin and this won't do that, so to use this handy little tool we need of course the foreo bear but also the serum serum, which is full of hyaluronic acid. So this will really build up that moisture and nourish the skin as you apply this on your face before this happens on your face you need to apply the serum it's like kryptonite you need to see space for it to work so start your bear. routine this is a connected app so go to the foreo app and get this baby started so you can literally say start the massage and then it connects and then you can intensify the microcurrent so you can go up to 10 and you can have t sonic on or off and t sonic will have little t sonic pulses that will make it the ultimate massage, then just click start and explain to your family what is going on because they might think something else is going on.

Oh yes, come on. Mom really loves it. I also feel like this is a great first step before applying makeup because this serum just goes into that skin and leaves you ready for all your makeup and you just put it on your jawline like this and work it. and hold the jawline up and hold do this about five times really get the jawline snatched back then we move up a little bit and lift then we go to the cheek and hold do I look more snatched or What when I use microcurrent the skin cells break down and then grow back stronger so it's like going to the gym and lifting weights but now with your face those sonic pulsations will help with blood flow and most of all reduce the swelling and will actually cause the serum to penetrate the skin that lasts the bear. at 90 uses per charge, so that's a lot of uses.

You could do this all day if it feels good in your hand. It is very intuitive. We all have a good size in our hair and in the end you're left with perfectly prepped skin because you just apply that serum and everything feels tight, it feels toned, so basically, if you've always wanted to try one of these devices but they were too expensive or you didn't like the fit, they were too big, this is a great entry. in the world of microcurrents and as you know when I do videos associated with brands I always like to give back to you guys so make sure to stay tuned at the end of this video for a special giveaway so let's dive into the basics of agreement? so it all started in 2019 when duncan lawrence won the eurovision song contest with arcade you've probably heard the song because it's been all tick tock it's where they go and when a country wins the following year the festival is hosted in the winning country, so I, being the winner that I am, with a lot of balls, tweeted saying good night Europe, that's like the motto of the festival.

Oh, the hosts always open by saying good night Europe and I said that with no experience as a host. I've never performed anything live before. I have done master classes, but that cannot be compared. My dream was to participate in the song contest in some way. If I had to clean the ends of dead hair, I would do it. There, everyone who was a little bit famous in Holland tweeted something like this is the biggest music event on the planet and if you have the honor of hosting this, it's a big deal, but since I'm a super fan, I said, Well, I got you.

I know I've always loved the festival and have always tweeted about it. I've talked about it in the past and people know that I love the song contest so I posted it and then you know that in Holland I would say vulnerable, to my biggest surprise the organization behind Eurovision contacted me and with my team and they said: do you want to come and have a coffee so we can talk about things? And I said, of course we're going to talk. things my goal was to bring online to the ebu the ebu is like the big organization behind eurovision and my goal was to bring them online because I was watching these acts for a long time and they had an amazing song but I didn't know anything about people behind the song why they chose that dress why they didn't have that image.

I wanted to meet the people behind the song and they had never done anything like this before and they said: well, let's do it and now, of course, because last year we were in and this year we are slowly coming out a little bit of obviously, the contest of eurovision songs was canceled and so was my online series because the idea was for the act to arrive at a studio in ahoy where the event takes place and I would interview them there, but of course no one could travel to the Netherlands so we ended up doing Eurovision calls where I zoomed in with all the people at all the events and that was already a lot of fun.

Hi Serbia, it's Nikki calling, oh my gosh, look. You beautiful girls, last year, instead of the actual competition, you broadcast a unique special program called Eurovision Europe Shines a Light where I had the honor of doing online updates, so it was like the first time I speak to such an audience. big through television. Evening Europe, it's tutorials from Nikki, your online host and I got some great reactions. I got eliminated in a couple of countries and then almost after Europe, China, Light Shichu Baker, one of the big Eurovision bosses came up to me and said: We need to talk about next year.

So many thoughts ran through my brain and I thought: What does he want to talk about? Know? Do you want me to do more? Is that so? It's bullshit. You'll never get a job in television again. I didn't know what to expect. He said, "Let's get together next week and talk about this. We got together and they said we thought you did an amazing job and we want to add you as one of our hosts, so top three. The hosts were Chantal and Celia and um, I was like the online host but now they wanted to give me an upgrade to become a fourth real host and I started losing my 200+ million people Look at this every year I have no experience with the host but like this is it. a dream come true this is something i've always dreamed of i'm doing it i don't care how scary it is i'm doing it so fast until 2021 it was up to the organization to come up with a way to make it safe for everyone involved but a couple of Weeks before we entered this bubble, everyone knew we were going to have a live audience and that's when nervous breakdown number one happened, so now we're getting really close to early May. of the preparations where you know, work is being done for look lab, so that is the online series that I would be the presenter of, it is called look lab and in look lab all the delegations come in and we talk literally about everything before we let it begin. them nikki just cried almost died i hope she's okay she's not not okay because nicki just cries i with my big mouth wanted to do a lab test so we would have to start very early in the morning do around six to seven countries every day from five to six and then after filming Look Lab, which was so much fun in the first place, literally every artist was a gem, yeah, every artist, well, yeah, yeah, and what really happened for me It was that I met them and I started to support them and once the first semi-final happened I thought: how are we going to say goodbye to some of these people?

Because people won't rate it and they'll leave us, but then after filming, look. lab we would have to change clothes and then watch the lab was upstairs in Hawaii and then I would have to go down the stairs, go to the floor to the main stage and then we would rehearse the whole show, so we would watch the lab all day get undressed put on something comfortable and then rehearsing the actual shows in heels, so we started at like eight in the morning and finished at like ten at night and it was crazy, but hey, this was my dream and I had to fight for it, so let it go.

I powder and do my brows real quick and then let's get into the juicy details baby okay so for today's eye look I was inspired by chelly love 91 makeup and she did this beautiful diamond butterfly eye imitation first, let's prep of course and For this I'm using P Louise eye foundation in 0.5 5.5 so look it happened and I think the number one question on everyone's lips right now is who were your favorites for filming, literally all the acts were so kind, so sweet, everyone. they brought their A-game to the studio, even if there were countries that were in front, I was a bit like I don't know if this is going to be the best time we actually had so much fun, I think a top three would have to be and I loved them all, so don't give me things like, but what about this one?

I loved them all, but I think my absolute favorite was Germany. I think another favorite was from Sweden, with the cookies and just. He likes love and warmth and I really had a good time there and someone who really stole my heart was the Norway ticks. Ticks just opened up at Look Lap Studios and truly spoke from the heart. I loved him. I wanted to hug him. him and tell him how special he is and that I'm very proud of him, but all of them, all the countries were a pleasure, there was one country that said no from the beginning to look at the lab that was Georgia, um, but rectify that.

They had their rehearsals for a while and then after rehearsals they went to the viewing room where they watched every shot of their performance and told the cameramen what to do about it and then they went into my look lab studio to cool with all the emotions and she likes what's going on through them, so when Georgia had her first before, like her first rehearsal, she went to the viewing room and then she went into the Look Lab studios, but I was still here because They said no from the beginning, but in the end, everyone wanted to join fortunately, but unfortunately only Georgia, uh, didn't make it, so I wanted to say maybe next year, but I don't think I'll go back to Italy.

Hello, I'm international, baby. I'm going to take a dark purple we filmed with all the artists all the acts this year and then we said goodbye to our look lab studios, but later that week we came back to it because I feel like we overlooked this a lot, but I filmed with queen of the netherlands queen maxima she is the real queen like the crown she is the queen visited me in my lick lab studios to talk about more music in the classroom and chef she is beautiful she did her own makeup and looked flawless and was so warm, so nice, so charismatic and I fell in love with the queen.

Not many children have the opportunity to learn to appreciate music, to make music, to know what an instrument is like and I think it is very necessary for the development of all children. have this opportunity, then, havemusic in every classroom means that we are going to give every child in our country that chance and hopefully all over the world we filmed with maxima in the morning and then right after we had a family. program for one of the shows, so every show that you see on TV you should know that we do it four times, we do a dress rehearsal, so it's a full performance with no audience at night, we have a juried show, so what the artists perform for the the jury votes and then we have an audience and then the next day we do a family show where we have an audience again and then that night we go live and if you have seen the show in previous years and you wonder why why The fact that they don't laugh at their own jokes is because we've already made that joke four times.

Oh, I think a lot of people want to know why I ask in every Look Lab video. I closed the video by asking them who deserves your 12 points. I think we're going to do 12, 10 and 8. I think my 12 points go to my friends. 10 points go. a high and a few dots go to ukraine i loved ukraine it was amazing oh oh look this is going to be a cute butterfly im using a white shadow to trace where i want the rhinestones to go yeah so I'm going to I'll be putting glue on that line and then gluing the rhinestones right on top.

This is the look, baby, this is the moment. Can you imagine if I did this for one of my dresses for one of the makeup looks, we would have to start at four in the morning, this will take me a long time and I basically can't talk, so let me do this with both eyes, putting on an eyelash and then having some tea on a dress of mine and it involves ripping it up, I come right back and literally three hours later I'm left with bright butterflies in my eyes and I live live live for this look this is too good not to share abh anasazi beverly hills came out with lower lashes like they came out with a ton of different styles and this one is on the queen of style and these are so pretty you know I'm obsessed with the lower lashes and the upper lashes are so hollywood by anasazi breville hill, so I just want to put that out there. oh for the bronzer this is so good this is from Juvia's place it's called bronze bronze and it has two shades and this more neutral tone one is perfect for having a bronze contour when you're literally as light as me because I'm the color of the transparent paper that we are now talking about. the dresses as I mentioned them I really dropped a bombshell when I mentioned that each dress has a little nod to the colors of the trans flag.

I'm going to be standing on that stage, over 200 million people will be watching me on that. On stage I was not only there for myself, I was also there for my community, for my people. The last time we had really strong trans visibility on the Eurovision stage was when Donna International won and after that it was a long nothing until I came and said it in all the interviews, but please don't let me be the last transvisible person on that stage because the world deserves to see us, we deserve that light, so I think that's part of why I really wanted to make this happen.

Hosting the concert was not only for me and my personal life and to be proud of, but also for you to be proud. It really feels like they are there to support us and that brought a lot of responsibility, but I'm so happy they loved it. the dresses um and you loved the looks and how I did it, my first dress had the trans colors on the split, uh, on the leg, so every time I walked you could see the colors, the second dress was just colored diamonds from trans flag everywhere. Like I was dripping with diamonds the colors of the trans flag and the last one, the final grand finale dress had rhinestones, a little trans flag in my heart, um and speaking of that pink fairy tale dress, uh, a kind of dress as I mentioned.

I did all the shows four times, so we had the live show at night and then that day we had the family show during the inauguration where the other presenters sing Venus, I can't sing, we've been through this, I can't sing after doing my spoken word. section, I have to run up the stairs and then run to the back around the main stage backstage, go up a couple of stairs again and then exhale and get ready for the big leg reveal, but here are your hosts, like this that I had 40 seconds to do that at the family show, so the show before the big live show at night someone stepped on that pink dress and as I was running to get to my marker on time I heard and thought the whole dress had torn Like the middle of the back came loose, so I did a whole show with half of my dress in ruins, but then Maria, my stylist, spent every second until we had the live show at night to fix the dress, but It was torn and, fortunately, no one.

I took photos. I want to know if you saw your vision this year. Who was your favorite act? You ended up voting for someone. Comment below who was your favorite entry this year and, ultimately, who would you give your 12 points to? I'm dying. Just to know, I think the number one question on everyone's lips in the Netherlands is whether she's moving out of the country to host other international shows and all I have to say about that is that people have definitely contacted me and with my team. and we're going to talk to a couple of parties, but you know, complete honesty every time I appear on Dutch television the reactions are always very varied, like do you love me or hate me, and we as the Netherlands are very progressive , but there are some people with very strong voices who have a strong opinion and this is my own insecurity, but once we did the first live show I was hoping that Europe would think I did a good job, but that the Netherlands would have a strong opinion about me. and when i saw that the netherlands and europe just hugged me, accepted me and loved me, that's when i really understood and once the show was over, we walked off stage and all i could do was cry happy tears and i was so happy that Finally my dream came true and um and still looking back it's the strangest feeling knowing that I was on that stage, that stage that I've dreamed of for so long um, you know, I've practiced as a kid, I looked at myself in the mirror and I practiced saying good night Europe.

I never thought that would become a reality and it did. If someone is watching and you feel like you don't fit in or are too different, know to never give up. I never gave up. and I had this opportunity of a lifetime and I did it and I did it for my community I did it for all of us it wasn't just me standing there on that stage, it was all of us standing there on that stage so if you have a goal, never give up, It just feels good to be sitting here, talking to you, your ears are probably bleeding right now, but thank you and definitely give this video a big thumbs up and subscribe to my channel if you want.
