The Blackmagic Web Presenter is a device created by Blackmagic Design that allows users to easily stream live video content to various online platforms. It is specifically designed for individuals or professionals who want to broadcast high-quality video content without the need for expensive equipment or technical expertise. The Web Presenter works by converting any SDI or HDMI video source into a standard USB webcam signal. This means that users can connect their professional cameras, camcorders, or even gaming consoles directly to the Web Presenter and have it instantly recognized as a webcam by their computer. This eliminates the need for special driver installations or complex setup processes. The device supports both HD and UHD video formats, delivering stunning visuals to your live stream.

Nikki’s talent has attracted a star-studded clientele (Janelle Monáe, Zoë Kravitz, Solange Knowles, Björk, Beyoncé), and her creations are nothing short of iconic. She tells us how she got her start styling her family’s hair, why her creative process doesn’t require reference materials, and some of the surprising tools (think: Home Depot gardening tools) she uses to create her looks. Before the interview, we offer up help for makeup transfer on masks and discuss the latest beauty news: Venus Williams’ new sunscreen, beauty looks in the “Rain On Me” video, Nixit period cups, and a boom in DIY beauty searches online.
