Who Is Mikayla Nogueira?

Jay Shetty introduces Mikayla Nogueira as one of the biggest beauty creators in the world, with more than 20 million followers across social media. He says the conversation will go past the public image to the person, the reality of massive success, and the pressure of living so publicly. She tells him she had stayed private for a long time, and that now is the moment because she is almost thirty and her twenties have been a turning point. She is learning who she is and who she wants to be.

She describes herself as outspoken, loud, and proud of who she is. She says she grew up wanting to be exactly Mikayla rather than someone who fits in. She calls herself curious, a Gemini, and very creative. She grew up in an artistic household: her mom is a professional artist and her dad is an antique appraiser and collector. She says she is known for eclectic, artsy makeup, and that she likes being different.
