Ingrid Nilsen's Career Explored

Well, Ingrid Nilsen started her career as a YouTuber who had a channel named 'Missglamorazzi' back on October 23, 2009.

She was quite shy and feared public speaking, so she started making YouTube videos where she could share her feelings with others and push her toward gaining confidence.

She wanted to do something that always scared her and something she was not quite confident about. So that's how she got into the journey of Youtube. There, she talked about beauty, makeup, fashion, and lifestyle.

She also has a second youtube channel called 'TheGrindMonster' where she posts vlogs and candid content.

As she grew in social media, she became the first Youtube personality to work and endorse CoverGirl's cosmetic brand in mid-2014.

Towards the end of 2014, she became the judge of the reality TV show Project Runway: Threads. She was nominated for Choice Webstar: Fashion/Beauty at the 2014 and 2015 Teen Choice Awards.

On January 15, 2016, Nilsen got a chance to interview the former president of the USA, Barack Obama, via a Livestream hosted from his residence.

There, she interviewed him with different questions on different topics like discrimination faced by the people of the LGBTQ+ Community, Taxation of female sanitary products, and the future of terrorism in the United States.

On March 16, 2016, Nilsen became the ambassador of the United Nations along with six other female creators from Youtube. Their motive was to focus on the global fight for equality. This is one of the 17 sustainable goals of the United Nations.

In the same year, she was listed under SuperSoul100; it is OWN's motive that plans to push humanity in a better direction.

In the summer of 2016, Nilsen partnered with two other organizations, Do Something and U by Kotex, and launched a movement called Power to the Period.

The campaign donated women's sanitary products like tampons, sanitary products, and panty liners to the homeless shelter. They were able to collect a total of 240,000-period products.

In October 2016, Nilsen was listed in the top 100 lists of OUT Magazine.

Similarly, on December 4, 2016, Nilsen was awarded the Trevor Digital Innovator Award by the Trevor Project for using technology as a better platform to create a powerful social presence and fight for equality.

In February 2017, Nilsen became a part of the bareMinerals project and endorsed the two best-selling foundations. It was one of the biggest partnerships between an influencer and a cosmetic brand.

She is an advocate for LGBTQ rights too. In June 2019, she partnered and campaigned for It Gets Better and led #TheirStory, a campaign that asked LGBTQ+ community members to share videos where they talked about their inspirational persona.

The campaign was on social media like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. The campaign was able to raise a total of $50,000.

On June 30, 2020, she uploaded a YouTube video where she said she was planning to quit her YouTube career.

Since then, she has focused more on her personal life and her newly established business, The New Savant. After retiring, she wanted to connect with her roots of crafting candles and creating a few fragrances.

Every candle at her store has a story to tell, which is something unique about the product itself.
