Rapper Nicki Minaj has been known to dramatically alter her hair and makeup, swiftly changing from over-the-top to demure and back again in the blink of an eye. Speaking on her beauty experiments, Nicki says that she loves to see how different things look on her and is always searching for new inspiration, especially in magazines and online. She also has some stylists who offer her unique tips:
“I experiment a lot with my own hair and makeup when I’m on downtime. I’m inspired by anything and anyone I see. I follow magazines and designers on social media to keep my eye on things, and my stylists bring me what they think is hot in the market place.”
One of Nicki’s beauty secrets is to wear fake lashes which she says give her a confidence boost when she puts them on for shoots. She explained:
“Lashes tend to make me feel prettier. In my downtime, I don’t use them, but for shoots, when I put them on, they definitely add a boost of confidence.”
Nicki reveals that she has learned how to do her own makeup by observing other makeup artists, and she thinks women should learn how to apply at least eyebrows and eyeliner because she believes it makes such a huge difference to the face:
“I learned how to do brows and eye liner by watching one of my makeup artists. I think every woman should at least be able to do that. It adds a pop of glamour to a fresh face.”
