Dominique’s ambitious and entertaining tutorials have made her a fan favorite, but she’s not stopping there.

Dominique’s star is still very much on the rise.

That early fascination with makeup would prove to be a solid foundation for greater things to come.

Instead, she was looking to just cover up the circles under her eyes.

“That’s when I started getting into makeup, from that insecurity.”

Dominique became so skilled that her friends began to take notice of her new talent.

She wasn’t discontented with her life, although she said it could “get mundane.”

“I worked in a cubicle,” she said.

“I love coffee; coffee is the beginning of my day,” she toldMakeup.com.

That morning cup of joe is more than just a pick me up, though.

Coffee also provided the inspiration for her debut makeup palette, The Latte Palette.

Cheers to Dominique for giving us another way to get our daily coffee fix!

Christen Dominique and son

“I would never use what only one product would give me.

Fortunately, her husband had other ideas and wanted his wife to pursue her dreams.

It was a risk, but one that ended up paying off big time.

“It feels like I have a million friends,” she said.

“To my fans, you keep me going and inspire me to do great things!”

“I’d have to say my personality is what makes my channel so unique,” she said.

The secret to her stunning eyes?

“I wear them purely as a cosmetic to change up my makeup looks,” Dominique toldAllure.

“I love exploring with different shades.”

Dominique isn’t alone, either.

Other beauty bloggers have jumped on the colored contacts wagon.

Many celebs, including Selena Gomez, Kendall and Kylie Jenner are also taking part in the rising trend.

If you’re a dedicated fan, though, you know that her videos go deeper than that.

Dominique wants her viewers to come away with more than makeup tips.

That desire to help people was part of her motivation in launching her YouTube channel.

“Inner beauty is the key to any form of beauty,” Dominique toldTubeFilter.

Sometimes that’s easier said than done, but Dominique said that the key is to hang in there.

“Sometimes you have to fake it until you make it happen.”
