Between her unmistakable Massachusetts accent and her next-level looks, TikTok makeup artist Mikayla Nogueira has earned 10.4 million followers in just 2 years.

In today’s episode, Mikayla reflects on her epic metamorphosis, from apprenticing as a special FX makeup artist at her father’s haunted house, to her very first viral TikTok video where, scarred from bullies, she hid her iconic accent before learning to embrace her true self.

And since Mikayla is the powerful makeup artist single-handedly making all of those beauty products go viral on TikTok, we find out which Holy Grail items she uses everyday, from her fave indie eyeshadows to her ride-or-die mascara and the front-running longwear foundation she’s testing for her upcoming wedding.

Plus, we discover which #1 product turned around her cystic/hormonal acne forever, and we hear about the over-hyped complexion product that failed the Mikayla test.
