- Ahh, you guys!
Bald.
Maybe we'll cut that out, I don't know.
But this is why I don't wear clothes.
What!
Oh my God.
Hi everyone, it's Nikita Dragun,
the trans pop star all over your Instagram feed
and I'm here today making my BuzzFeed debut
and letting a BuzzFeed quiz pick my makeup.
I'm so scared, I'm so competitive,
and I'm ready for this moment.
Ahh!
Let's get started.
I'm trying not to say (beep).
I would be like, "Let's get started (beep)!"
Okay, answer these questions
and we'll tell you how to do your makeup.
Which Disney princess knows how to (beep) stunt?
Belle, Pocahontas or Merida?
Okay, you know what,
I'm gonna choose Pocahontas for right now,
only because to me,
Pocahontas looked the most like me at the time,
until Mulan came out.
So I'm gonna go with Pocahontas
because, "Colors of the Wind,"
did you guys see she dove off of a 50 foot cliff
into the water, and the hair was constant,
that is a (beep) stunt.
Pocahontas for sure.
Do a bright monochromatic eye.
Why am I over here freaking out?
I already just have no makeup on right now.
I came to Buzzfeed so flawless,
just woke up out of bed with not even anything
on my face, I know.
Very humble of me.
This has me so shook already.
So (beep) stunting on my Instagram, mostly,
it's the walking videos I do.
It's kinda like, not even a strut,
it's this kind of mode that I go into,
and it's literally me just walking back and forth.
I don't know how I've made a whole career
out of walking, but it's the (beep) stunt.
I feel like I'm really a college professor.
I'm going to teach (beep) stunting
at Harvard or something, I swear.
(energetic techno music)
Lashes.
If your lashes aren't touching your brows,
I feel like you're not wearing lashes at all,
and, you know, my ass is thick,
my brows are thick, and my lashes are thick.
My wallet is thick sometimes too
when I don't spend so much money on (beep) makeup.
I could be bare-faced, have a lash on,
and still run the world.
I act reckless with a lash on.
I wait 'til the very last minute to put a lash on,
because that's when I'm just not humble anymore.
Right now I'm still very humble
for you guys here at Buzzfeed,
but once the lash goes on,
I'm sorry in advance.
All right, eyeshadow is done, thank the lord,
so I'm ready for the next question.
You ready?
Which kind of snack do you prefer?
Sweet, salty, bitter?
First of all, we are never bitter, okay.
One thing that I hate is a bitter (beep),
and that is never me.
Cannot relate, ever.
So, I'm either sweet or salty,
but I'm definitely one of those people
who, once I have sweet, I immediately need to have salty.
Okay, I'm gonna say sweet.
Okay, add a light, natural eyeliner.
What's natural?
I don't know that word.
Natural?
I've never heard of her.
So, I accept, Buzzfeed.
I will do a "natural" Nikita eyeliner.
I actually got started in makeup because,
at the time, when I was just a little boy,
I was obsessed with art and drawing,
and I would always doodle and sketch
these really beautiful girls on the sides
of my lined piece of paper.
I was just really obsessed with the idea
of femininity--feminin--fema-fema--
So I was like, "why don't I draw on my face?"
So I used makeup, so from early on,
I knew I could transform my face with makeup,
and the rest is history.
Hey.
I would also like to make a statement
that I have already color corrected
using my Dragunfire Skin Perfecting Potion,
my color corrector exclusively on dragunbeauty.com.
All right, liner is officially done.
Now, this is one of those ones
that you do say a prayer before.
You ask the lord above, or whatever you believe in,
"Dear lord, please make my eyeliner symmetrical,
so that I may slay these hoes today.
Amen."
And onto the next answer.
What's your most embarrassing moment?
I'm not telling.
Okay, I'll tell.
I feel like if I pick "I'm not telling,"
that what I'm going to have to do
with my makeup is not going to be cute
so I will tell.
So one time, I was getting ready for a photoshoot,
and I had a crush, per se.
When you get a wig installed, put on,
they basically make you bald.
You do cornrows, and then you put a wig cap on,
and you look really crazy.
I'm looking down, not paying attention, on my phone,
and I look up, in the mirror,
I see the reflection of my homie
and he's standing right there.
That was a really embarrassing moment.
That's an exclusive for Buzzfeed.
You may apply lashes.
Oh, if I didn't tell you they were gonna
make me not apply lashes!
Ahh!
Oh my god, how effing dare you Buzzfeed.
I thought we had a love.
This is my first time on your show
and you're really about to put a possible answer
of me not applying lashes?
I'm so shook to the core right now.
Had I not had lashes, it would have been a problem,
Buzzfeed, but you know what?
We're good, we're fine, we're good today.
Once the lashes go on, I'm just a different person.
So I'm gonna start to say goodbye as Nikita.
You guys asked for her, so here she comes.
(energetic dance music)
The title of this video:
"Watch Nikita Dragun Go From A Five,
To A Twenty, Right Before Your Eyes."
So, Dragun Beauty was a crazy idea that I had
in my brain.
I truly never thought that I'd be in a place
where I could have my own beauty line
just because I had never seen, in the beauty world,
someone like me, a girl like me,
being trans, owning a beauty line.
I just had this really crazy idea of,
"What if I just put my big girl panties on
and made a lane for myself?"
The door definitely wasn't open.
I just wanted to create something different
and to make waves in the beauty industry.
with a liquid liner after you apply a falsie,
'cause you don't want to look down
and see how that crusty glue is, all that weird stuff.
I love how Buzzfeed's like, "do a natural
wing liner," and I said, "okay sis,
this is me natural."
Okay, I don't have the password, I'm so sorry.
Friday night plans?
Stay in alone, "Me time" time is the best time,
go out, let's get sickening, party at home
with friends, best of both worlds.
See, it really depends on what kind of mood I am.
If it was this Friday, I wanna go out,
because I haven't been looking cute lately.
I mean, besides right now, obviously,
but I'm gonna say let's go out, but I'm so scared.
Ahh!
Apply tons of teeny freckles and throw in
a few beauty marks for good measure.
You want teeny tiny freckles?
I'll give you teeny tiny freckles, Buzzfeed.
Okay?
I feel the best ever about my Victoria's Secret ad.
To me, it was such a cool clapback moment,
not just for me but for the trans women,
and the plus-size women that Ed Razek was saying
weren't able to sell the fantasy.
I truly wanted to show him and show everybody
that trans women are the fantasy.
So I created it, I was really nervous to do it.
It actually took a lot of time
and a lot of money, of my own money to produce.
If you don't wanna have an inclusive, successful
brand in 2019, that's on you, but you're not gonna
make statements and say that a trans woman,
or a plus-size woman cannot sell the fantasy,
baby, cause I guess I proved you wrong.
The show's not airing on TV anymore?
Oh, it only got 3,000,000 views this time,
and I got 10,000,000 views on Twitter
AND on Instagram?
Interesting.
Oh, but I can't sell a fantasy?
Got it.
Oh my god, that was so petty.
(laughs)
But I will say, as an insider exclusive for Buzzfeed,
next year, I am planning something big.
That's all I gotta say.
(upbeat dance music)
All right, freckles are on.
You guys are throwing a lot at me,
I'm not even gonna lie.
But I'm over here just taking it.
Favorite fast food spot?
In-N-Out, Chick-Fil-A, Chipotle.
So I feel like, for this one,
I'm gonna do a wild card, although
I really like Chipotle a lot too,
so I'mma chose Chick-Fil-A.
Okay, soft neutral nudes, please.
Thank the lord, Chick-Fil-A, you came in
and saved the day for once.
We're just gonna say that.
We're gonna leave it at that.
As my Latina mother taught me,
lip liner is key and vital to any good lip.
Also, some lip filler, but I'm not promoting that.
I'm just saying.
(vibrant dance music)
I'm ready for the next question (beep).
Shut up, really?
Okay, so I'm officially done with the Buzzfeed quiz.
I know y'all thought you were gonna get me
looking crazy up in here, but I'm actually
really so happy with this look.
It's almost like I do this for a living.
All it's missing is my
Dragunheart Transformation Face Powder,
which includes a mirror that fits your face,
and it's the size of an iPhone.
Wow, Nikita, your mind.
So I'm gonna be applying this powder
underneath my eye and it's going to give me
a soft focus-type filter.
(choppy techno music)
Thank you guys so much for watching,
and don't forget.
Oh my god, I was about to give my outtro.
Breathe fire my Draguns!
Damn, I really just took over this whole damn channel.
And I'm out!
I'm out of this (beep)!
Bye, no more questions.
I'll take my mic pack, hold on.
I'll push in my chair because I'm considerate.
I'm out, Buzzfeed.
(choppy techno music)
