2013 NYX FACE AWARDS WINNER

Last weekend NYX Cosmetics hosted the second annual FACE awards, an event that recognizes up-and-coming YouTube beauty vloggers. When Youtube Guru, Start2finishmua ( Missy Lynn ) was announced as Vlogger of the Year, it was a well deserved win!. Aside from working as a freelance makeup artist, Lynn is an active duty member of the United States Air Force.
 “Not many people think that girlie-girls can immerse themselves in such a strong, male-oriented occupation and still keep their feminine side. When I’m all dolled up and tell people I’m in the military, they’re always amazed. I love that reaction,” - Missy Lynn

In earning the top title (plus $25,000 and a year's supply of NYX Cosmetics), Lynn reminds me what makeup is all about—expressing your creativity , being yourself, and feeling good.  The 23-year-old is a true inspiration to her 125,000 subscribers and everyone around her. The questions below are from her recent interview at the event. 

What are you up to now? Any new projects you're working on?

I'm still taking in the win of the NYX FACE Awards; it's been a few days and still feels like a dream. Work-wise, I've been keeping busy helping out with a beauty project called Beauty on the Sea Expo. The event is similar toIMATS (International Make-Up Artist Trade Show), but will be more intimate. We're sailing to Bermuda for five days! And, we're giving proceeds to the Base Camp Children's Cancer Foundation. Aside from that, school is back in session, meaning most of my nights will be devoted to going to class. But I still plan to be heavily involved with my beauty-community family! 

What's your favorite tutorial you've done and why?

I have two favorites: How to Fill in Eyebrows and How to Highlight and Contour. These are two techniques people struggle with the most. It's nice to see how both videos have had an impact on my viewers and their beauty routines!  

What are your must-have products of the moment?
