Some started their channel because they always wanted to share their passion. Some started it to goof around a bit, but for some it happened accidentally.<\/p>\n<p>As I had the flu back in <strong><em>2008<\/em><\/strong> and couldn&#8217;t do anything else but watch TV and sip on some tea, I killed my time watching a <em>&#8220;The Hills&#8221;<\/em> weekend break on MTV. After just two episodes I fell in love with <em>Lauren<\/em> &amp; <em>Heidi<\/em>&#8216;s style, especially their makeup.<\/p>\n<p>I climbed out of my bed, searched for <em>&#8220;The Hills Makeup&#8221;<\/em> and there she was, the woman that would change my entire (makeup) life..<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nOn my screen appeared a beautiful woman with luscious, long dark hair, an amazing smile and beautiful makeup. Makeup that looked exactly like <em>Lauren<\/em>&#8216;s did in <em>The Hills<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Sandy Gold<\/em><\/strong>: The first woman to ever introduce me to Brown eyekohls, liquid eyeliner and a blending brush. The woman who made me fall in love with makeup.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Sandy&#8217;s video on this particular <em>Lauren Conrad<\/em> Look is no longer on the interwebs, so today I&#8217;m here to show you my second most favorite video from Miss Sandy Gold:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sandy01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4144\" title=\"Sandy01\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sandy01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sandy01.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sandy01-315x213.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em><strong>Sandy&#8217;s Basic Smokey Eye<\/strong><\/em> tutorial was pure heaven to me back in 2008. In fact, I think this is the first Smokey Eye tutorial I&#8217;ve ever seen. Sandy&#8217;s fun persona and beautiful looks had me swooning from the first second.<\/p>\n<p>I loved Sandy&#8217;s tutorials so much, I&#8217;d replay them for three days straight. After about a week of swooning over smokey eyes and nude lips I decided it was time for me to enter the world of Makeup. I took my bike, drove to town and walked into the nearest drug store.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sandy02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4143\" title=\"Sandy02\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sandy02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sandy02.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sandy02-315x221.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Okay, let&#8217;s see.. where has life taken me now?&#8221;<\/em> I was thinking. I walked down the makeup aisle and quickly found a Black eyekohl, perfect! This is exactly what Sandy used.<br \/>\nI then threw in some Brown eyekohl, shimmering Brown eyeshadow and waterproof Mascara.<\/p>\n<p>I drove back home, and watched <em>Sandy&#8217;s Basic Smokey Eye<\/em> tutorial another four times.<br \/>\nWith all the right products in front of me and Sandy&#8217;s video playing in the background (again) I followed her steps, and before I knew it I created my very first smokey eyes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sandy03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4142\" title=\"Sandy03\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sandy03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sandy03.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sandy03-315x218.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Wait, did I actually just do this?<\/em> &#8211; I looked like a Panda on the loose, but I couldn&#8217;t give a damn. I was wearing smokey eyes, and felt super sexy with &#8217;em. I loved the feeling Sandy&#8217;s smokey eyes were giving me, and I rapidly grew an obsession for makeup.<\/p>\n<p>As the weeks went by, I kept buying more and more makeup. I kept practicing new looks, and after about three weeks I decided to start my own YouTube Channel: <a href=\"www.youtube.com\/NikkieTutorials\" target=\"_blank\"><em><strong>NikkieTutorials<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sandy04.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4141\" title=\"Sandy04\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sandy04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sandy04.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nikkietutorials.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Sandy04-315x176.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nToday, in 2013, Sandy isn&#8217;t as active on her channel as she used to be. But now and then I still like to go back and let memory lane take over. After all, this woman started it all for me. And even though she might not know who I am, I&#8217;m still so grateful for all that she has done. Sandy Gold, you made me <em>&#8220;Wake up &amp; Makeup up<\/em>&#8220;.
