This talented makeup artist transformed herself into a popular makeup artist, who also happened to be her biggest inspiration. She used a paper cutout to match the face structure and contact lenses to match the eye colors. Then, she used her artistic talents to match the eyebrows and lips. Lastly, she donned a blond wig to match the hair.

00:00 This is going to be one of the scariest, most intimidating and meaningful makeup
00:05 because she inspired me a lot to start my own channel.
00:09 So I am a little bit scared, but it's all gonna be with love and respect and fun
00:14 because there is a possibility that I will fail this transformation
00:18 and if I do, then you guys get to have a good laugh while I cry.
00:24 Niki and I have about nothing in common, except of course for our love for makeup.
00:30 We have different eye color, different face shape.
00:33 I'm a square and she's a heart.
00:35 Her chin is pointed and cute.
00:36 Skin tone wise, she's more like north and I'm more like south.
00:41 Now, in terms of eyebrows, we could have been twin sisters
00:44 until Niki started using this product that will stimulate the growth of your hairs
00:51 and I'm actually really curious about it.
00:52 Should I try to regrow my eyebrows?
00:54 She's tall, whereas I'm really more on the dwarf side of the stadium meter.
01:00 Is that what you guys call it?
01:01 I am 3 feet... not 3 feet 5.
01:04 I'm 5 feet 3.
01:07 5 feet... 5 feet? 5 feet? Oh my god.
01:11 I don't know. I don't use feet or foot. I use meters.
01:13 I'm 1 meter 63.
01:15 Finally, if I had made this video, say, 12 years ago,
01:20 we would probably have had almost the same hair color, which is blonde.
01:24 I was very blonde back then.
01:26 So, there's all that.
01:28 The first thing I will do to turn into her is to put on contact lenses.
01:32 Today, I'm trying on the Lorca Blue style.
01:35 I am hyper today.
01:37 I'm gonna not talk while I do this
01:40 because I am terrible at talking while doing the makeup.
01:44 So, I'm just gonna zip it and put on the contact lenses.
01:47 [Music]
01:54 Why?
01:55 Did you do mine?
02:01 No, it was on my eye and it just escaped.
02:07 Yes.
02:16 Stay with me.
02:17 No!
02:20 It was on.
02:22 Help me.
02:27 Are you kidding?
02:34 Okay, we have... I'm having...
02:36 [Music]
02:46 That was fun.
02:47 One of the facial features that makes Niki Niki is her cute pointed chin.
02:53 And my square chin is what makes me...
02:56 To change the shape of my...
02:58 It's hard to say.
02:59 For a French person, it is hard.
03:01 It's a lot of...
03:02 To change the shape of my chin, I'm going to use this piece of paper
03:07 because I haven't figured out a way yet to modify my bone structure
03:12 without spending thousands of dollars on surgery
03:15 or even hundreds of dollars on prosthetics.
03:18 [Music]
03:23 Bye, love you.
03:25 Let's move on to the eyebrows.
03:26 I'm going to block out my eyebrows with powder, glue stick and powder
03:31 because my eyebrows are too dark and Niki's are more like a dark blonde color
03:36 and she has super symmetrical...
03:39 Note the jealousy in my voice.
03:42 Symmetrical eyebrows.
03:43 While I don't have symmetrical eyebrows, I barely have any eyebrows.
03:48 So let's get rid of them and draw new eyebrows.
03:52 [Music]
04:02 Niki is known for her super satisfying, flawless foundation applications.
04:07 So I'm going to do my best and not screw up this crucial step.
04:10 [Music]
04:39 [Music]
04:43 Oh, so strange.
04:45 Anyway, I was going to film the next step, which is eye makeup,
04:49 but I decided that I want to focus on my facial features transformation.
04:54 So I'm just going to do the eye makeup with a couple of magic tricks
04:58 and then I will create the eyebrows, nose and lips
05:03 that will hopefully make me look like Niki.
05:06 [Music]
05:15 I could get used to my pointed chin.
05:18 Anyway, how about some eyebrows now?
05:21 [Music]
05:47 This is so weird.
05:49 It's crazy what you can do with makeup.
05:52 It's crazy how different I look right now.
05:54 And I don't look like Niki just yet, but...
05:59 Anyway, contouring my nose is one of my biggest pet peeves.
06:03 It's difficult. I hate it. It's a nightmare.
06:06 But I do need to work on this one because right now...
06:08 I look not quite like Niki and not quite like myself.
06:13 I look like I grew a new pair of eyebrows and I haven't seen the sun in two years.
06:18 No offense, Niki. I love you.
06:20 [Music]
06:49 [Music]
07:05 I am a little bit disturbed by my appearance right now.
07:10 I'm almost finished. I have to change the shape of my lips.
07:18 No! Okay. I dropped the bottle of alcohol on my keyboard.
07:22 I am disturbed, okay?
07:24 So, what was I saying?
07:26 Yeah, I need to work on the lips and make my lips look different.
07:30 Niki has lip fillers. It's no TMZ news. She's very open about it.
07:35 And it's pretty obvious that she has fillers.
07:37 She has amazing lips and I'm gonna try to make my lips look filler...
07:42 Fuller than they do right now.
07:44 This is so weird.
07:45 [Music]
07:49 I love you, Niki. I hope you know that.
07:51 I don't even know what I look like anymore.
07:53 I can't wait for my daughter to see me. I wonder if she'll recognize me.
07:58 I guess she's used to seeing me looking different every week, so...
08:02 Anyway, let's do the lips.
08:04 [Music]
08:20 [Music]
08:49 [Music]
09:10 I can't recognize myself.
09:13 [Music]
09:42 [Music]
09:47 I am a little bit confused right now.
09:50 I made her teeth also. I'm not sure if I'm gonna use them.
09:54 But if I do, I will just glue them.
09:57 Oh, no! I lost my teeth!
10:04 Yeah, we'll see about the teeth. Maybe I'll just use the teeth for the pictures.
10:11 This is so weird. I'm done with the makeup.
10:13 And I'm not gonna be Niki with this.
10:16 I need blonde hair.
10:18 I know Niki doesn't have such blonde hair at the moment.
10:22 This is very blonde.
10:24 Niki, I'm sorry.
10:26 But you have been blonde like this in your early days on YouTube.
10:29 And in some videos, I think.
10:30 It's the only wig I have.
10:32 I'm gonna change hair, change clothes, put on some jewels.
10:35 Maybe I'll do my nails if I...
10:37 Wash my hands. Do my nails, wash my hands.
10:39 What else? I think that's it.
10:41 Let's accessorize and become blonde.
10:43 I forgot something that Niki would never forgive me for.
10:46 Setting spray.
10:48 And I'm gonna do it like Niki.
10:50 So I'm gonna use the whole bottle.
10:52 My teeth! I lost my teeth!
11:00 Oh, no, they're here. Never mind.
11:02 [music]
11:17 Surprise, surprise!
11:19 It's me, Niki.
11:21 Hello. Oh, my God.
11:23 I like this.
11:25 Okay. What the hell?
11:27 What?
11:29 [laughs]
11:31 We're all in this together.
11:33 Oh, come on!
11:37 [music]
12:01 [laughs]
12:03 [music]
12:13 I don't even know who I am anymore.
12:15 Please tell me I look like her a little.
12:18 Please tell me you can see it. At least the chin.
12:21 I know the hair is too blonde, but like I said before,
12:24 this is the only wig I have.
12:26 I'm still gonna try to film a little bit without the wig
12:29 to see what she would look like with my hair.
12:31 Perhaps she will look more like Niki with my natural hair
12:34 than this wig, but I don't know.
12:36 This is so weird.
12:38 There is something very disturbing about looking at yourself
12:41 in a mirror and not knowing who the person is.
12:44 Like...
12:46 Obviously, it's not perfect.
12:48 But, hey, I did my best, and I had a lot of fun.
