Nikita Dragun

As a person in the industry, as well as a makeup lover, a lot of times we see brands pressured to do things because of the status quo instead of being genuine and wanting to create and be inclusive. I wouldn’t throw the name universal onto my color corrector if it wasn’t really that."

Every single woman is beautifully unique, and the sexiest thing she can do is own her curves, embrace her differences, and stand tall in exactly who she is.

I sleep in this really cool thing that is a sleeping bag. It is a spray-tan sleeping bag - Amazon Prime honey, it will save your life.

Have you watched Animal Planet? The lioness is out there hunting the zebras, the gazelles, all sorts of things, so you need to be the fierce lioness or dragon that you are. Have that inner fire. See what you want, get it, and ask nobody for permission.

My core product is the color corrector and it was life changing for me because I used to put on foundation and it just wouldn’t work.

Every comment, every tweet, every snap, every second of my life is viewed and it affects people. It does become daunting, and it can be hard to remain true to my message and to be real and authentic and to not be biased by whatever is thrown at me because of the success that I’ve had."

Everyone is on a journey to realize their best selves and their realest selves, and I think that’s what creates that community."

Don't be afraid to be ugly on Snapchat at 2 a.m. when you wake up and roll out of bed. It’s those real moments that create that a connection; it's like, 'Hey, this person is just like me.'"

Whenever I need that extra confidence booster, whenever I want to feel that extra chic-edgy, I grab red lipstick.

This is all me. That’s why all my products come in this dragon egg literally ‘cause I’m like, I laid an egg for you, girl. Every little last detail is so Nikita and extra and wild. I’m creating things I’ve always wanted to see in the beauty industry."

I think the most powerful beauty is representative of uniqueness and individuality of every person.

I don’t think people take enough time to themselves or like to be alone anymore, but it’s really important."
