What do you plan to do with your NYX prize if you win?
If I won the NYX FACE Awards, I’d be the happiest girl on Earth. The winner receives $25,000, but as a 15 year old, there is NO WAY I could possibly spend all of that money! I’d probably put half of the money towards university and some of the rest towards cancer research, because my grandma recently passed away from ovarian cancer.

Why did you decide to enter the NYX Fine Artistry of Cosmetic Elites (FACE) Awards contest?
When I was first told about the NYX FACE Awards, I saw it as a wonderful opportunity to get my work and personality out there, and I also thought it would be fun! After checking out last year’s event, I was completely stoked. A million thoughts ran through my head. After seeing the live competition, I knew I had to enter. Even if I did not make it into the top 30, there was no harm in entering. I was more than honored to get the call that NYX had picked my channel to be one of the contestants in the top 30!!

When and why did you first decide to start your channel?
I decided to start my channel about 2 years ago because I was in middle school and I had nothing better to do! Who knew it was going to lead me to all these amazing opportunities!
What is your favorite part about being a YouTube beauty guru?
My favorite part about being a beauty guru would have to be all of the amazing friendships that are built, just from the Internet!

Why did you decide to enter the NYX Fine Artistry of Cosmetic Elites (FACE) Awards contest?
I decided to enter the NYX FACE Awards because I knew that it could open up so many doors for me, allow me to grow so much as a YouTuber, and help me with my makeup skills. I have always dreamed of being a makeup artist, and I know that the experience and knowledge that I have gained from this amazing competition will help me to live out my dream in the future.

Any advice to readers that want to start their own channels. What three nitty-gritties would you advise them to do or not to do?
DO NOT spam people to check out your channel. Ask kindly, but never spam. DO be direct and to the point in videos. Edit out any unnecessary “um’s” and silent moments. DO have fun! It’s incredibly enjoyable to watch someone who loves what they’re doing and shows it!

Why did you decide to enter the NYX Fine Artistry of Cosmetic Elites (FACE) Awards contest? Charis Lincoln (NYX FACE Awards winner 2012) inspired me to enter. When she started making videos, she was only at 3,000+ subscribers. She was dedicated and had fun while in the contest, so seeing her personality shine through her videos inspired me. I promised myself that I would enter this year. I often shy away from contests, due to me not wanting to be committed, but I wanted to prove to myself that I could fully commit to something and push myself to do my best.
What do you plan to do with your NYX prize if you win?
I’m definitely going to donate to multiple Gun Violence Organizations (my brother was killed by gun violence), and I’m also going to donate to the Wounded Warriors Military Donation Fund (I’m active duty military-Air Force). Whatever money is left over, I would like to save and invest into opening my own Beauty Bar/Beauty Camp.

Sounds amazing! Waiting to see your write up of the events!!!
These ladies are all so beautiful in their own right. I love that they look natural and relaxed..a new day in glam. Great post, Stevie.
Thank you Fiona and Pam. I was surprised at how articulate these young women were and how powerful they are– particularly the mid-teenage ones.
I will be getting photos of the events from the BeautyCon people and NYX — who will have videos and photos.
The NYX brand.. amazing! Low price point but such great quality. I have a fair amount of this product and I like it a lot!!
