Lee's previous life before YouTube was much less glamorous. In fact, she worked for many years as a medical assistant in her native state. Although it might not seem like the typical environment to foster a love of makeup and beauty, the YouTuber was inspired to get into the field while working her day job. As she explained, in an interview with HelloGiggles, Lee loved watching beauty tutorials, hauls, and everything in between on YouTube, even before she started making videos herself.
Lee revealed, "I was watching Kandee Johnson and Nicole Guerriero — there weren't that many beauty channels at the time — and I had always had a really, really big passion for beauty." Given her job role, Lee was prohibited from wearing too much makeup at work, "So after, I would come home and do my makeup every day and post it to Instagram." Lee's creative outlet led subsequently to YouTube. Before too long, vlogging became her main source of income and wearing makeup every day was, gloriously, a job requirement.
