In a time when a makeup tutorial could skyrocket to millions of views overnight, Nikita Dragun transformed in front of our eyes from a person just getting to know who she truly was to a downright diva. From collaborations with top creators and launching her own makeup line to the dramatic twists and turns that led to her fall from grace, we're talking about it all. This is the rise and fall of Nikita Dragun, and it's starting right now.
