NICCOLE describes her look as ‘monster alternative’. The 28-year-old model has been into this style since leaving high school and said she ‘tones up’ her look when going out to places where she feels her aesthetic would not be traditionally accepted. But Niccole said she is curious to see how she would look in a completely different style: enter the Transformed team. She is having her tattoos covered, the white and black makeup removed and stepping into a pink two-piece and heels in a Barbie-inspired look. Niccole said: “If I learned anything from this experience I think it would be that I can definitely look beautiful in two different looks.”

00:00I would describe my look as monster alternative, the more dramatic the better.
00:05Today I am going from spooky girl to Barbie doll. I do not own anything that's
00:10paint. Oh no. We're going for a Barbie inspired glam look. Someone better take
00:16this mirror because I'm not gonna be able to walk away from it. I am revealing
00:20my transformation look to my husband, my mother, and my nephew.
00:26Oh my. She looks a lot better when she doesn't have her tattoos. The truth comes out.
00:34Are you ready to look different?
00:38Nervous. I have been dressing alternative pretty much my entire life. The all-black
00:44monster look started to happen more when I got out of high school. My husband and
00:50I were high school sweethearts. Your darkness is getting darker. I don't know
00:55how that's possible. Thank you. Today I am going from spooky girl to Barbie doll.
01:01When I think of a Barbie look, I think of pink. This is gonna be a big change. It's
01:06gonna be a huge change. I'm not gonna be Nicole. I feel like I have finally gotten
01:11into a place where I'm so comfortable and I've embraced myself and I feel like
01:17I kind of have to like take everything that I know and take it back a bit and
01:22that's hard for me because I don't like my face. Not like this. I haven't seen you
01:27without a tattoo since a few days after your 18th birthday, I think. It's been so
01:32long since I've seen like my actual skin without ink so that's gonna be weird. So
01:38the makeup artist is gonna be coming soon. You gots to meet. All right, all right. Bye.
01:45Hello. I'm Madeline. I'm a makeup artist. I'm Nicole. It's so nice to meet you. Are
01:53you excited? I'm nervous. Let's get to it. All right. We're going for a Barbie
01:59inspired glam look. A pink shadow, glossy lip, pink dewy skin. That dewy skin is
02:07gonna be really key versus the white that she currently has. Okay, Nicole.
02:15Okay, the outfit that we have today is very Barbie core. The two-piece tweed
02:22pink set with the vinyl square heels. Oh my god, yeah. I am gonna die in those
02:29shoes, let me tell you. I never wear open-toed shoes ever. Um, well this will
02:35be fun. This is going to melt everything off. What made you feel like you wanted
02:41to go through with this transformation? A part of me has always been curious what
02:46I would look like if I didn't dress this way. When going out to places that this
02:51type of aesthetic and look isn't really like accepted in society, I don't think I
02:56tone it down. I think I tone up. I do get the people that are like intimidated and
03:00they just stare. I also get people that will make fun of me but for the most
03:04part there's a lot of nice people out there. Like they'll want to take pictures
03:07with me or they want to tell me how cool I am. I'm excited to see like what my
03:12family and my friends will think.
03:21Tell me about your look. What is your go-to everyday wear? There are some days I
03:28will go full-blown monster look. Other days I like to keep it kind of like an
03:32elegant goth look. You have lovely bone structure so it's been really easy to
03:39glam you. When I do my makeup it's like it's pretty packed on. There's a lot of
03:43it so I think for something so light to be on my face is gonna be such a
03:48huge change. I think I look beautiful with all this makeup on so to see myself
03:53with probably just simple mascara and foundation, it's gonna be weird to see my
03:59face like that. I'm gonna think I look ugly. Okay Nicole your makeup's done
04:04let's go get changed. All right. I'm kind of shook it out already how well this is
04:11covering your tattoos. Oh my god.
04:15You are ready to go. I feel absolutely terrified right now. I am shaking. I don't
04:26know how this is gonna look. All right Nicole are you ready to see your new
04:30look? Yeah. Okay. Three, two, one. Oh my god.
04:44I don't even recognize this person. My tattoo circle. I've always been so
04:52insecure about my face. I'd never expected me to look beautiful like this.
04:57Yeah. So it's just a huge change. How do you feel? Shocked. Shocked. Someone better
05:04take this mirror because I'm not gonna be able to walk away from it. How do you
05:07feel about showing your family? What are they gonna say? I'm really pumped to see
05:10their reaction. Yeah. I don't I don't think any of them are gonna recognize me.
05:15I'm so used to her with tattoos so it's gonna be really weird. I feel like she's
05:18gonna look how I remember her when I was like a child and she was like a
05:22teenager. I'm trying to keep all expectations open and be completely
05:25surprised. I haven't seen her without tattoos since she was growing up so this
05:31is gonna be a big change. They are not prepared. All right y'all ain't ready for
05:38this. No. Hi. Barbie in the house. Oh my god. Looks like the little girl growing up.
05:55So she was high school. It is a really good job covering your tattoo. She did a
06:00really wonderful job to be honest. I was impressed. Does this make you want to get
06:04rid of any of your tattoos? Oh no. If anything I'm like I had a more hot
06:09hand. I was starting blank again. Never seen you wear heels like that either.
06:14But they're square. They're thick squares so I can walk in them. This is about a
06:23decade like gone in an instant. It's absolutely insane of it's because you
06:29haven't been like this. A long time. A long time. The hair went first then the
06:34tattoos came. Well I think she looks gorgeous like she did growing up. I
06:40literally wouldn't recognize you if you were on the street. It's very interesting
06:47seeing like the pearl necklace. I don't know why that little tiny detail is
06:51actually kind of really cool. I think you look better in the goth to be honest.
06:55Thank you. She looks a lot better when she doesn't have her tattoos. I still
07:08love you. Wow. The truth comes out. My family's reaction was not at all what I
07:21thought it was gonna be. I didn't expect them to laugh. Like I knew they were
07:26gonna be shocked but I guess I didn't think so much to the point where they
07:29were gonna start laughing. If I learned anything from this experience I think it
07:35would be that I can definitely look beautiful in two different looks. If I
07:42ever were to grow out of the alternative look that I currently have I think that
07:47I would be fully capable of rocking this look. To be like Barbie for the day
07:52I feel like royalty. I feel like a star.
