Who is Christen Dominique?
Christen Dominique is an American beauty YouTuber who is also active on Instagram and other social platforms. She was born on 5th February 1987 in Texas. She owes her unique beauty to her Arabic, Mexican and Guyanese-Portuguese roots, which she got from her mother's, grandmother's and father's sides. Although she has two half-sisters, her mother raised her as an only child. She didn't know much about her father since she was 15 years old.
While still in school, Christen was attending dance classes as well as singing courses. She saw Selena Gomez as her idol and aspired to be a Spanish singer just like her. But at the end of high school, she discovered her abilities and interest in makeup. She began to go out wearing a full face of makeup, and soon she was helping her friends with beauty tips and tricks.
