Solo Nicole Doshi — !!better!!

Why it’s iconic: This video has no makeup look at the end. Instead, Nicole sits in her car, bare-faced, crying and applying mascara. She discusses the pressure of content creation. It is raw, terrifying, and beautiful. This is arguably the most searched "Solo" video regarding emotional vulnerability.
