Mikayla Nogueira Is TikTok’s Funniest Makeup Artist

I am a Gemini. I absolutely believe it. I think I am a Gemini to a T. I think there's different types of Geminis. I'm the type that I'm one way with certain people, and I'm another way with other people. That's like my twin flame, so two different personalities may come out.

I used to be a big fan of that Ghost Hunters show. I do believe in ghosts. I think ghosts are definitely real. I've never seen one. People always see an orb in the back of my videos. They're like, "Mikayla, there's some energy around you." I'm just like, "I don't know!" I've also gone to a lot of mediums where they literally talk to family members who have passed. I just think it's crazy what some mediums can do.

This is so random, but I'm addicted to hot chocolate. Dunkin' Donuts, I get a hot chocolate. Starbucks, I get a hot chocolate. Restaurants, hot chocolate. Even when it's hot outside. Then alcohol, I love Moscato. So random, but I love sweet alcohol. I think Moscato is the best for that. For my hangover cure, I drink a ton of water. But I don't get a hangover with Moscato, because it's such a low alcohol percentage. I can drink the whole bottle and I'll be okay.

This is so easy. These are the three I'm obsessed with. Bazzi, Charlie Puth, and Mimi Webb.

To be honest, I make baloney sandwiches as a snack, or baloney rollups, where you put a slice of baloney, a slice of cheese and then mustard, and you roll it up.

Dishes. I'm really bad at doing dishes. I hate it. I will avoid it at all costs. I have a dishwasher, and I refuse to use it. I don't know why. It's right there. I stare at it. My sink's completely full, and I just ... I can't do it.

I have been going down the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial. I will watch those TikToks for hours. The case itself is very serious, but some of those TikToks, man, they crack me up. It's just interesting to watch that. That's pretty much my entire For You page right now, so I can't really avoid it. The thing I thought was most interesting was with the color corrector. As a makeup artist myself, when I heard that clip, I was just really confused, because that is not how I would cover a bruise. I think it's really interesting to watch a court case, and the way the lawyers handle everything. It's interesting. You know? Criminal justice is just fascinating.

They're the ones I'm wearing right now. It's different than a slide, because it's like a cloud. It's like walking on a cloud. The brand's called Cushionaire. Every time you step down on it, it feels like you're defying gravity. It's just really cool. They're very comfy. I wear them all day.

Well, I posted a pretty vulnerable picture of myself on my Instagram story. Just showing how I'm dealing with some acne right now, and sometimes I get a little insecure about it. I posted a picture to show people that, yes, I do get acne just like everybody else. All of my recent DMs are just saying, "I really appreciate that you're willing to post these vulnerable things, because it helps someone like me who is struggling with the same thing." I have a pretty supportive direct message inbox. I can read it and not be afraid.

The Black Eyed Peas have had some really cool music videos, so I'd probably want to be in one of theirs. I love the Black Eyed Peas.

Probably going to go with McDonald's. I get a double cheeseburger with fries, a Coke, and I will typically get a six-piece chicken nuggets. You can't get it without the chicken nuggets. It doesn't feel complete.

This is such a random answer. War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise. I would watch it almost every single day. I was obsessed with it. Still am.

It was SingingRocks123. I've always just loved to sing. I thought singing rocked, so I made it my screen name.

I'm into the, I don't know if the right word is grotesque, but have you ever heard the joke bofa or ligma? You just drop it on someone. It's like being iced, but it's like, "Have you had any ligma recently?" Then they're like, "Ligma?" Then someone says, "Balls." Like lick my balls. “Bofa” is “both of these nuts.”

I think the one thing that people ask me every day is, "Why does my makeup not look smooth?" The biggest reason for that, typically, is a lack of exfoliation on the skin. I use glycolic acid pads before I do my makeup every day. It's an AHA, which resurfaces that top layer of skin. You can get glycolic acid pads from lots of brands, but you just take one every day before you start your makeup, and you just resurface that skin, it'll help the makeup go on smoothly. Each time you do it, it'll get better and better. It's a slow kind of thing, but it takes time to get your skin where you want to get it.

I absolutely loved the look from Blake Lively from the 2022 Met gala. I thought the hair, the makeup, the outfit switch that they did was a very beautiful look.

Every single person should have a lip balm. I am addicted to lip balm. I use it multiple times a day, every single morning, every single night before bed. You will never catch my lips being dry. That helps with lipstick application, too. If you want a smooth lipstick application, or if you're kissing someone and you want to have moisturized plump lips, lip balm. Everybody needs it. Right now, I’m using the Tony Moly green apple lip jelly. It's called a lip jelly, but it's the same thing. I love it.

Right now, it is Bazzi, “Will It Ever Feel The Same?” It’s a very emotional song.

I am engaged, but if I wasn't, I would totally go on Married At First Sight. It's one of those shows that builds up so much anticipation, because it begins with this couple, these two people that have never met in their lives, and they get married right on the spot. Then it's a long show. There's 20 episodes leading up to this final decision where they have to say, "Yes. I do want to stay married to this person," or, "I want a divorce." So much happens from beginning to end. It's very good. I'm obsessed with that show.
