Career

On October 23, 2009, Nilsen launched Missglamorazzi on YouTube to broadcast her feelings of self-confidence with others and push herself to overcome her fear of public speaking. She told herself to do something that scared her, and creating a YouTube channel fell into that category for her. She addresses topics such as fashion, lifestyle, and make-up in her videos.

In addition, Nilsen owns "TheGridMonster," a YouTube channel on which she posts her vlogs and more candid material.

Nilsen started working with CoverGirl in mid-2014, becoming the first YouTube celebrity to represent the brand.

Nilsen was a judge on the reality television show Project Runway: Threads in late 2014. Nilsen was nominated for Choice Web Star: Fashion/Beauty at the 2014 Teen Choice Awards and the 2015 Teen Choice Awards.

In a livestream hosted at the White House on January 15, 2016, Nilsen spoke with Barack Obama. She wondered about the future of terrorism in the United States, taxation of feminine hygiene products, and bigotry against LGBT people. During the interview, Nilsen begged Obama to tell the story behind a piece of personal importance, to which Obama displayed a string of small totems, saying that each one reminds him "of all the people [he] encountered along the way."

Nilsen, along with six other female YouTube creators, were named one of the United Nations Change Ambassadors to the intergovernmental group in March 2016. One of the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals set that year was focusing on gender parity around the world.

In mid-2016, Nilsen was named one of the SuperSoul100, Oprah Winfrey, and OWN's list of innovators and visionaries committed to change humanity's progress.

Do Something, Do Something, and U By Kotex launched Power To The Period in July 2016, the first national period product drive. Participants were encouraged to organize product drives for unopened tampons, pads, and panty liners that were later donated to local homeless shelters. Power to the Period had donated nearly 240,000-period products as of September 2016.

Nilsen was on the OUT magazine's OUT100 list in October 2016.

The Trevor Project gave Nilsen the Trevor Digital Innovator Award on December 4, 2016. "Ingrid has used technology for the best and has established a website and voice to campaign for equality," said Abbe Land, Executive Director and CEO of The Trevor Project. "She is a role model of her generation and a true symbol of hope." She continues to push boundaries and believes in The Trevor Project's cause, making her the right choice for the award.

Nilsen and Shiseido-owned bareMinerals announced a collaboration in February 2017, and Nilsen became the brand's two best-selling charities. The collaboration was one of the most significant deals between a beauty brand and an influencer to date.

In June 2019, Nilsen joined a non-profit It Gets Better for a new campaign. The #TheirStory movement, led by Nilsen, encouraged LGBTQ+ members and their allies to post news about inspiring figures on line. This campaign was covered on Instagram, Tik Tok, and YouTube. She raised $50,000.

Nilsen revealed on her YouTube channel on June 30, 2020 that she would no longer be posting to YouTube.
