The makeup process takes over an hour as it's a crucial part of the look - she’s been perfecting it for 10 years. Michaela says that being Sprout allows her to "act silly and goofy" without judgement. Today the fairy will be Transformed into a glam girl - how will she react to seeing herself in a completely different style? Will her husband prefer her new aesthetic?

People know me as about the Fay of Seeds
0:02
Over the years, I just kind of gradually became more and more obsessed with the Woodland Fairy style
0:10
So this is kind of like my ideal Woodland Fairy look. I definitely wouldn't wear it on a normal occasion
0:17
but this is like my peak aesthetic right here. I know my style is really unique
0:22
but today I'm gonna be transforming into an everyday glam girl. I have mixed feelings about the crop top
0:28
I would probably never wear these shoes. Are you ready to see it
0:33
Oh yeah. Oh my God, I look so weird. My entire makeup process takes about an hour and a half
0:46
When I was first trying my makeup out, it took about two hours
0:50
I've got a routine down, I'd say for sure. Hi, my name is Mikaela
0:56
I'm 26 years old and I live in Ohio, but most people know me as Sprout, the Fae of Seeds
1:01
I'm a professional fairy and I play Sprout at Renaissance festivals. I've been dressing up, I would say
1:06
as like a woodland fairy or an elf for probably about 10 years now
1:10
I think over the years, I just kind of gradually became more and more obsessed with the woodland fairy style
1:17
Being a fairy to me means bringing joy to everyone else around me, especially children
1:24
and being able to play pretend and just kind of escape from reality, I guess
1:29
I would say the makeup for this look is very important, mostly just because it stands out
1:34
and most people don't do full body makeup like this. And I think it makes me really unique
1:41
as a professional fairy. So this is my air compressor that I use to put on the base colors of my makeup
1:47
And then I use this airbrush gun and I pour some makeup in it, pour it in like that
1:51
and then I spray it and it spray on my face Like that Dressing up like this kind of makes me feel like I wearing a mask Even though I not physically wearing a mask but I feel like I can act more silly around people If I were to look
2:07
normal and go out in public and act like Sprout, I'd feel really self-conscious about it. But when
2:12
I'm dressed as Sprout, I feel like I can actually act and be silly and goofy and people will accept
2:17
it. So this is kind of like my ideal Woodland Fairy look. I definitely wouldn't wear it on a
2:23
normal occasion but this is like my peak aesthetic right here and then I have all my clothes right
2:31
here and here. I'd say this section is for more like costumey garb pieces and then down here is
2:40
for my more socially acceptable pieces. I very rarely wear jeans only if I'm going to like a nice
2:47
family Christmas event or something like that. They're usually in my colors like red or brown
2:53
or green. I've gotten comments on the internet saying things like, oh look, another fatherless
2:59
daughter, or just saying things like, that's so weird, what are you doing? Most people love it
3:06
though. I know my style is really unique, but today I'm going to be transforming into an everyday
3:11
glam girl. I have a bag full of clothing that I'm going to transform into. I assume this is a top
3:20
I have mixed feelings about the crop top. I would not normally show my belly off like that, so we'll see what happens
3:29
All right, we've got some standard jeans. I would normally never wear jeans like this
3:36
A silver necklace, which considering the butterflies is not too far from my style
3:42
And then a wig. Oh, wow. It's got some highlights in it
3:46
I would probably never wear these shoes because one, they're high heels and two, it looks like it would expose my entire foot and I don't have the prettiest feet
3:58
Today I will be revealing my look to my husband I excited to see what his reaction will be
4:09
Hi. Hi. Come on in. I'm Amber. Mikayla, nice to meet you
4:14
Nice to meet you. Hi, I'm Maria. Mikayla, nice to meet you. I know. So what do you guys think is going to be the biggest challenge for this makeover
4:22
Probably getting all the makeup on. I was going to say, yeah, the removal. I'll have like splotches of green or like yellow in my ears for days
4:29
I feel like I'm being pampered right now. Like Beyonce. Yeah. Do you ever wear any kind of like bold, smoky eye looks? Never
4:42
So this will be a real different look for you. That silver smoky eye is really gonna make your eye color stand out
4:49
I hope the wig on fits okay over my side shape. Alright
4:57
I'm already walking in my shoes. Are you ready to see it
5:04
Oh yeah. Okay. Grand reveal. Oh my God. I don't look like myself at all
5:16
My hair. Everything's so weird. No. I am not a fan of the belly shine
5:24
I don't like the jeans. I really like the hair. I like the makeup
5:29
I would just maybe do warmer colors. Especially with the makeup, I feel like I kind of look like my high school self
5:36
The clothing's a little different than what I would have worn, but that's kind of what I look like, I think
5:41
But I haven't looked like this in so many years, so I really rarely recognize myself
5:47
I think Ryan's gonna really like it, and I think he's going to be kind of shocked
5:52
because I don't look the same at all. We've been together for about five years
5:56
We been married for three three and a half Ever since we been married it just got progressively more and more towards Sprout
6:14
You look beautiful. I love it. I love the necklace. I love the shoes
6:19
You love the shoes. Better take a good look at them since this is the last time we're gonna see a model
6:24
Thank you. I really like it, but I mean, So you see the other way
6:29
It's definitely not for me personally. I like it. I think I look pretty, but it's just not my style
6:36
And so I probably wouldn't wear something like this again. I'm most looking forward to taking my shoes off because, sorry, but they hurt
6:46
I think Sprout would love my makeover because she thinks humans are really adorable
6:52
kind of like how humans look at puppies. So I think she would like it and think it's cute
6:58
We have two trans kids. Anyone can be whoever they want. I'm just owning it
7:09
Our family is seen to be very unconventional. So I had kids and I can't be hot anymore
7:16
Like, moms are hot too. People say I look like a thug, but I love thugs
7:20
I take that as a compliment. I'm bored of people thinking that I cannot be intimate
7:25
I'm a young, single, hot piece of disabled booty. I feel like I'm going to look at myself and be like, who is that
7:37
Life is way too short to be hiding. It is my story. It is my truth
7:55
Thank you
