00:02I'm dying.
00:05Oh, hi.
00:06I didn't even see you guys there.
00:07Right now, we are getting glam on Refinery29.
00:11I am here with the wonderful Lipstick Nick.
00:15We are getting ready for Los Angeles L.A. Fashion Week.
00:19I am walking in Michael Ngo's fashion show,
00:21and I am just so excited.
00:25We're doing a really fun anime kind of chrome-inspired look,
00:29so it's very avant-garde,
00:30and it's really going to let us be creative.
00:32I'm really going to use some bold lines
00:34and a lot of, like, graphic liner,
00:36so it almost looks like kind of cartoon-esque
00:38and a little bit like 3D.
00:39Yes.
00:40A really solid foundation is the way to start out,
00:43especially with a look like this,
00:44where it has to last all night.
00:46So I am just actually setting the cream contour and highlight
00:49right now with a little bit of powder.
00:51Well, a lot of bit of powder.
00:52I'm like a little bit.
00:54Just a little bit.
00:54So today with the hair, we are doing a platinum moment.
00:58We're going very frosty.
01:00I want to see something different on Nikita
01:02than what she normally kind of does.
01:04We just go so crazy.
01:06I'm going to pop some images right here.
01:08Boom.
01:08Fast.
01:09Ha.
01:09Ha.
01:10Nikita's never natural with her hair.
01:12It's always a bright, fun color,
01:14but today we're going blonde,
01:15and it's going to be great.
01:17Okay, so my glam routine is very spiritual in a sense.
01:23I need positive energy, positive vibes, good smell, sagey.
01:28Sagey.
01:28This brush feels kind of negative.
01:30Negative.
01:30Oh.
01:31Hold on.
01:32Let me stage you guys at home.
01:35Positive energy.
01:36Don't light that on fire, girl.
01:37Look how cute this is.
01:3924 inches, full lace.
01:42You could never.
01:46This is the creator, like the house of dragon president over here.
01:51Like he has been the pioneer to all my crazy wild looks.
01:55Every single wild moment.
01:56To me, I think fashion is your voice.
01:58It's your number one message.
02:00So what you wear is what you are.
02:02This eyebrow's special.
02:04We're going to do a full rhinestone with Swarovski crystals.
02:07And I'm going to go in individually and like hand lay all the rhinestones.
02:12Don't.
02:13Don't.
02:14Move.
02:16Oh, look how pretty.
02:18We've got Swarovski crystals up in here.
02:24This is the real me.
02:25I've never seen this before.
02:27I've never done this before.
02:28This is crazy.
02:29And when the lights hit it on the runway, it's just going to like.
02:33It's going to be so good.
02:36So right now I'm taking a black gel liner and I'm cutting Nikita's crease.
02:41And you definitely need a super, super steady hand.
02:44And I'm using a paint brush.
02:45I honestly want a relationship as steady as your hand.
02:49Me too, girl.
02:51You guys, this is coming together.
02:56So the lashes are going to be pretty intense.
02:59But for now, I'm just laying down like a base pair.
03:02And then I'm going to cut up a couple other ones to make a custom lash.
03:06I like my brows.
03:08My liner.
03:09My lashes.
03:10My bank account.
03:12Thick.
03:13Give me a T.
03:14I need an H.
03:15I need an I.
03:16And I need a CC.
03:17Maybe even a Q.
03:19Like thick.
03:20I am feeling so confident about the look right now.
03:23This is when dragon starts to come out when I have my lashes on.
03:27This is giving me very like wispy, dolly, library, funeral, everyday back to school look.
03:37Oh my God, is it wig time?
03:39So this is my head condom.
03:41Everyone say goodbye to humble Nikita.
03:44We are getting into full dragon mode.
03:51I feel like glam is more of a state of mind.
03:55It's just how you feel and how you kind of radiate to everyone else.
03:59I always drew women only growing up.
04:04And at the time, of course, you know, I was a little boy.
04:06So I think it was also me drawing this beautiful woman that I always wanted to be.
04:12Now I get to live every single day as that beautiful woman.
04:15It's taken me this far, honestly.
04:17Just a dream, a lash, and a wig.
04:20Oh my God, that's going to be everything.
04:22Right now I'm going to put in some crazy gray contacts.
04:26If you're watching at home, I'm so sorry.
04:31What do we think?
04:33Okay, eyes are in and now we're getting into full dragon fantasy.
04:38Oh my God, look at me dragon slippers.
04:48Honey, if your hair isn't touching your mid-cap, don't speak to me.
04:54And this is the final look.
04:57All right, everyone.
04:58We just finished doing the glam hair, makeup, everything.
05:02It took us a little bit longer than we planned.
05:04We're a little bit late, actually a lot of it late.
05:06Okay, we got to go.
05:07Oh my God, okay, okay.
05:08Okay, bye.
05:11My glam came together so amazing and it is better than I ever expected it.
05:16My head is scrambling right now.
05:18My heart is racing.
05:20It's time for me to rehearse.
05:21I need to listen to these lyrics.
05:23I need to know when I enter.
05:24I need to know when I walk.
05:25I need to know when I pose.
05:27Oh my God, I'm like nervous.
05:28I'm trying to take a deep breath.
05:34Yes.
05:36Oh my God, you look so good.
05:38Yes, give me that twirl.
05:40I'm really pumped and excited to show this collection.
05:42Nikita was the perfect person for my final look.
05:45She's able to transform herself into so many things.
05:47And so many people appreciate what she does.
05:49I'm so excited for her to bring my art to life.
05:52So we have this full fantasy metallic armor dress for you.
05:57Ah!
05:57The matching archangel full fantasy.
06:00Wings?
06:01Wings.
06:02I'm going to fly off the runway.
06:03I'm going to fly off this damn runway, honey.
06:05Nikita, Dragon, the clothing.
06:06Clothing on my backer wing.
06:11Get glam.
