Early life

Nogueira was born to Patrice, who is an artist [2] and an elementary school counselor, and Michael Nogueira. She has an older brother of three years. Her family is mostly of Portuguese descent. She was raised in East Freetown, Massachusetts, and graduated from Apponequet Regional High School in 2016. [3] She has stated that her love for makeup started when she bought Avon Products from a friend of her mother, as early as 10 years old. [2] She started with simple makeup routines and grew more proficient. [4] In high school, she was a member of DECA, where she competed in business competitions, relating it to the beauty industry. [5]

Nogueira attended Bryant University, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in communications in 2020. In college, Nogueira was an intern for a radio station. [6] Nogueira had started graduate school in 2020, but "ended up dropping out of school when I found out I'd have to do it full-time instead of part-time because of the pandemic." [5] This allowed her to continue making beauty videos full time.

Career

Early years

Prior to her notability from TikTok, Nogueira started posting beauty and makeup content on the social media app Tumblr as early as 2013. Nogueira experienced success on this platform, but not to the extent she later would on TikTok. Nogueira also once had a YouTube channel, where she would post beauty videos and vlogs. Her old channel can be found under the username buffal0chick3n. For the next few years, Nogueira did not post as much on social media as she was a full-time student.

TikTok

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2020, Nogueira started making TikTok videos. Nogueira first used the platform after making the suggestion to her mother, a teacher, to use it as a way to continue educating her students. Nogueira created a TikTok page in her name to help her mother learn the intricacies of TikTok. The first videos on her page were educational videos on their family farm. Nogueira next posted "The Catfish Challenge", a viral before and after challenge featuring a user's profile photo next to their makeup-free look. [4] This video gained thousands of views within hours of its release. Nogueira's account grew to 2.8 million followers on TikTok in just eight months, and she now has 11.9 million, her voice fueling the growth of the account. [2] Nogueira posts tutorials, reviews, beauty routines, promotions, and other beauty and makeup videos. [7]

In December 2020, Nogueira won the American Influencer Award for Emerging Makeup Artist of the Year. [8] [9]

Nogueira was employed by Ulta Beauty as a beauty advisor until she started working full time for her own brand, Mikayla J Makeup, in late 2020. [5]

As of October 2022, Nogueira has over 13.6 million followers on TikTok [10] and 2.4 million on Instagram. [11]

Nogueira was accused of faking her Massachusetts "redneck accent", based on interviews and videos of her before her popularity on the internet. [12] Nogueira responded, "I went to school for Communications with a primary focus on radio […] So over the years, I created this voice that I would use when I was on the radio or at my internship. Everyone has a customer service voice, right? So, when I first started making my TikToks, I would use my radio voice because it was professional. It was my first time putting myself on a camera to tons of people so I was wicked nervous because my voice has been this topic of discussion my entire life and I didn't know how people would react." [13] Viewers have also criticized some of her cosmetic reviews as being misleading. [14] [12]

"Mia Khalifa" (originally titled "Mia Khalifa (Diss)", also known as "Hit or Miss", and sometimes stylized as "MiA KHALiFA") is a song by American hip hop group iLoveFriday (stylized as iLOVEFRiDAY). The duo of Atlanta-based rappers Aqsa Malik (also known as Smoke Hijabi) and Xeno Carr self-released the song on February 12, 2018, which was later re-released by Records Co and Columbia Records on December 14, 2018. It was included on their second EP, Mood (2019). The song was produced by Carr. The song is a diss track targeting Mia Khalifa, a Lebanese-American Internet celebrity and former pornographic actress. The decision to write a song dissing Khalifa arose over a misunderstanding. A faked screenshot, intended as a joke, seemed to show Khalifa, who once appeared in a pornographic film wearing a hijab, criticizing Malik for smoking while wearing a hijab in a music video. iLoveFriday thought the screenshot was legitimate.
