Ingrid Nilsen (born February 2, 1989), commonly known by her YouTube name Missglamorazzi,[1] is an American YouTube personality from Rowland Heights, California.

Career

Nilsen began her YouTube channel on October 23, 2009, because she wanted to share her feeling of confidence with other people and push herself to overcome her fear of public speaking.[2] In her videos she covers topics such as fashion, lifestyle and make-up. Nilsen currently has over 4 million subscribers.[3]

Nilsen also maintains a second channel on YouTube entitled "TheGridMonster" on which she posts her vlogs and more candid content.

In mid-2014, Nilsen began working with CoverGirl, becoming the first YouTube personality to represent the brand.[4] In late 2014, Nilsen became a judge on the reality television show Project Runway: Threads.[5] At the 2014 Teen Choice Awards, Nilsen was nominated for Choice Web Star: Fashion/Beauty.[6]

On January 15, 2016, Nilsen interviewed Barack Obama in a livestream hosted at the White House. She raised questions about the future of terrorism in the United States, taxation of feminine hygiene products, and discrimination against LGBTQ+ people. Nilsen also asked Obama to share the story behind an item of personal significance during the interview, to which Obama showed a series of small totems, stating that each one reminds him "of all the different people [he's] met along the way".[7][8]

Personal life

Ingrid is of Norwegian descent on her father's side and Thai on her mother's side.[9] On June 9, 2015, Nilsen uploaded a video on her YouTube channel, in which she came out as lesbian.[10][11][12][13]
