Christen Dominique is an extremely popular American blogger and a YouTube star who became known as a skilled beauty content creator.
She has amassed thousands of followers by uploading makeup tutorials on her Youtube channel and by helping her viewers to improve their make up skills and become better at it.
Early years
She was born as Christen Dominique on February 5, 1987, in Houston, a town located in the state of Texas, in the United States.
She was raised in a Catholic family by two parents who had children from their former relationships so she has two half-sisters.
She grew up alongside them, with good parents not making any difference between them.
Christen is of a very mixed ethnicity since she has family roots from Portugal, Mexico, and Arabia.
She was always interested in make-up and since she was a little girl she used to try on her mother’s makeup and soon she became skilled at it.
She has put on make-up while going to high school and she was so good at it that a lot of her friends asked her to do their make up too.
In just a few months she became the main makeup artist for most of the girls she knew and was becoming better and better in it.
That is why the media later called her The Locker Room Artist.
Career development
In 2009, when she was 22 years old she opened her YouTube channel and started posting videos about make-up but also about her own personal life.
She did it after her friends persuaded her that her skills and tips are too good not to be shared online.
She was also glad that she could help people learn more about how to become better at putting makeup.
This YouTube channel was named very simply, after her so it was named Christine Dominique.
She soon became very popular because of her various tips and make-up content which helped her viewers a lot and because of her close relationship with them.
She always responded to their messages and questions so they were thrilled by her modesty.
She became popular for her videos such as „How to create fuller lips“, „5 minutes tutorial make up“ and more.
In 2017, she was positioned as the girl on the list of Top Influencers in Social Media, released by Forbes.
In 2018 she used her fame to launch her own beauty cosmetic line which was always her dream.
She has released „Latte Palette“ eyeshadow palette which soon brought her financial benefits and included her in the group of a successful businesswoman.
Her Latte palette is very versatile and is made to work for various skin tones, different eye colors and it contains ten great color shadows. It was very well received amongst buyers.
The video which gained most views until today is her „Monster High Frankie Stein Makeup Tutorial“ video.
Christen had appeared on a website called Gen Beauty.
She was invited to the Cannes Film Festival Red Carpet which is not something a lot of Youtubers can brag about. She was very proud of this achievement.
She has collaborated with a lot of known cosmetic brands and earned a lot of money through it.
The names of those brands are L’Oreal, Urban Decay, and Sephora.
Some of her most popular videos on YouTube include the ones where she puts make-up just to show that she mastered it so good that she knows how to look like Katy Perry and Ariana Grande.
She started collaborating with Patrick Simondac, a known make-up artist. She was featured as a model at the launch of his Patrick Ta Beauty Collection.
She entered a feud with Laura Lee, a fellow YouTuber and they said some ugly words to each other especially through social media like Snapchat and Instagram.
The feud started when Laura Lee accused Christine of stealing her ideas and copying her videos. Christine denied it by confronting Laura and claiming that she is wrongfully accused.
It was all about one thumbnail which Laura posted, with wiping away her tears while watching an emotional video. A few months later Christine did something similar and Laura accused her of stealing content.
But to be truthful the same can be said for Laura Lee too since a lot of Youtubers did the same thing before her but they didn’t get offended like her.
This Youtube war was started on Twitter.
Today she has over 1,5 million followers on her Instagram account and a lot more on her Youtube channel.
Her cosmetic line is called „Dominique Cosmetics“ and is known as cruelty-free cosmetics since it wasn’t tested on animals.
She guest appeared on several known TV shows such as Style Code Live and The Real. Style Code Live is Amazon’s shopping show which was eventually canceled in 2017.
She did have stage fright but it soon went away.
She also collaborated with the world wide MAC Cosmetics which brought her attention and great revenue.
Personal life
She got married to her longtime boyfriend Cesar Isias and moved to Los Angeles with him.
She was married for just one year when she gave birth to her son Jaden. It was in 2007 when she was only 20 years old and was still living in her hometown in Texas.
She left her family in Houston because Los Angeles is better for starting a more successful career.
When her channel started to be popular she was invited to LA to grow her job but almost rejected the offer because she recently bought a house for her family. Luckily, her loving husband convinced her otherwise and made her pursue her dream career. He is very supportive.
As for her personal life, it is known that she is very close to her mother who inspired her from her early years.
She motivated Christine to get into make-up and inspired her to become a beauty guru.
She liked to watch her mother put on makeup and become even more beautiful so she is grateful to her.
She even put make-up on her stuffed animals when she was a little girl because she wanted to wake them more pretty.
Her first big interest in makeup came with her wish to cover up circles she always had under eyes so she started using concealer.
It was not easy for her when she was young because she was a wife and a mother and still went to school and worked 5 years in the medical billing business.
She is a huge fan of coffee and always starts her day in that way. Her fans know that she has a lot of mugs with motivational quotes.
She even called the colors in her eyeshadow palette by similar coffee names: Macchiato, Vanilla Creme, Hazelnut Coffee and more.
She always wears colored contact lenses because she likes her eyes to pop-up. She even changes shades to show how makeup can change people.
Her son Jaden is the most precious thing in her life and she often posts about him.
Jaden is very cute and photogenic and has his own Instagram account with over four thousand followers.
