 It is time to let go and be truly free. When I was younger, I was born in the wrong body, which means that I am transgender. Beauty YouTuber NikkiTutorials blindsided the world recently when she posted a video on her channel titled I'm Coming Out, in which she revealed she's transgender. I speak for myself and many others, I'm sure, when I say that I genuinely had no idea. Although Nikki has decided to be completely honest with the public about her identity, it's natural to wonder what she was like before or when she was growing up. Nikki claims that she knew from the very beginning that she was born in the wrong body, so she started embracing her female identity at the young age of six. In this video, we're gonna take a more in-depth look at Nikki and see how she grew into the person she is today. Nikki Dejager, better known by her screen name, NikkiTutorials, is a famous makeup artist and beauty vlogger who hails from the Netherlands and still currently resides there. At the time of this recording, Nikki is 25 years old and has been posting videos since 2008. I'm going to get a cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap drug store. Nikki's channel on YouTube has over 13 million subscribers and over on Instagram, she has around the same amount of followers as well. Although Nikki claimed she was really scared to tell her truth and that she was getting blackmailed, coming out likely only made her fans respect her even more as well as gained her some new ones. Her coming out video alone has over 31 million views. Hello. Uploaded my video yesterday. I was expecting a lot of situations but what happened last night is something I never, never even would dare to dream about. The incredible amount of love and support and warmth. Even reading the comments on this video, it's easy to see how shocked the community was. People were saying that they thought Nikki was just coming out as a lesbian or that others who said they knew or had a feeling were so lying. Not going to lie, I thought it was just the confession she was gay as well. What's going on guys and girls? My name is Kara and this series we've titled Before and After. Today's video is going to be all about Nikki tutorials and her transformation. Nikki admitted she was already fully transitioned by the time she was 19 and began with hormones when she was 14. So the Nikki that started on YouTube back in the day is really the same Nikki we know today. Today we're going to talk about what Nikki was like in the early days, cosmetic work she's gotten done and just how she evolved. I've also done other celebrity transformation videos on the likes of Nathan Schwantt and Adele and we'll have links to some at the end of this video.

As always, if there's anyone else who want me to document, let me know in the comments down below and be sure to follow me on Instagram because I love connecting with you guys. Now let's get into this video. We'll start by going back to Nikki's early days well as early as we can see that is. We don't have any photos of Nikki's childhood or from pre-transition, but that's mainly because she started identifying as a she much earlier than many who transition. My mom knew immediately that I either was going to be gay or a different type of story and it turned out to be a different type of story. And by the age of six, I grew my hair out. People at my school knew. I mean, they saw. And I think by the age of seven, eight, I fully wore girls clothes only and it felt amazing. Nikki says she basically had nothing but support from her mom especially, but also teachers and staff at her childhood school. As you probably know, Nikki is quite tall standing at six foot two. For this reason, Nikki started taking growth stoppers at an early age. Yes, I got fully transitioned by the time I was 14. I got my hormones because I'm a tall bitch and I kept on growing and they were like, let's tone that down. I got growth stoppers because I was supposed to be a whole lot taller than I already am today. So they stopped my growth and they gave me hormones. And by the time I was 19, I fully transitioned. I transitioned while on YouTube. Apparently she would have been even taller had she not started then. So by 14, she was already doing hormone replacement therapy and says that by 19, she was fully transitioned. Nikki transitioned over YouTube since she started posting videos in 2008. But even looking at her old videos, I personally find it hard to tell at all. Now get your Berry and Dazzle Dust in number 24. It's all gold. And get an angled brush and do that under here. Obviously Nikki has changed a lot, but that's just because of other reasons and from growing up. Not because she looked like she was transitioning. Even her voice to me back then didn't give it away at all. I would have thought she's just a normal teen girl, not someone going through such a big change. What do you guys think? In that last video, Nikki had dark hair and a year later in 2009, we can see from her videos that she was blonde. I have not been to a hairdresser. I've actually used this great video from Foxy Locke's hair extensions and she had a video about how to straighten your hair with volume. Now, if you watch my videos to know that I have no volume in my hair at all, so I was like, I need to do it. I did not have the extensions yet. I'm getting them soon. And since then, the blonde became part of Nikki's full-time look and she probably got those hair extensions she was talking about. Now let's look at cosmetic changes Nikki may have gone through with. She's actually been pretty open about having a few tweaks, so it's not like it's a secret. Comparing photos side by side of Nikki from 2010 and 2019, you can see how much her face really changed. First off, Nikki got her teeth done in 2011. She had them bleached and got veneers to close the gap between her front teeth. And two months ago, I bleached my teeth and I did that because my teeth always were yellow and I could never wear pink lipstick because it would make them even more yellow. It's called laminated veneers. I feel so happy with them. I can finally smile without thinking, damn, I look like Miss Piggy right now. You guys have no idea how self-conscious I always was about my teeth. I hated them and for her to fix them to me, it meant so much to me. Like, I can finally smile without thinking I look like a freaking clown right now, you know? Seems like fixing her smile made Nikki a lot more confident and she even says so herself. But I agree that after she got her veneers, her teeth looked great. It definitely made a difference with her look, but that's not all Nikki has done over the years. Nikki is also a fan of fillers. In 2015, Nikki admitted to getting lip fillers and did a whole YouTube Q&A video on it. I got my lips done because the sides of my top lip always would curl inwards and then the center of my top lip would just be normal and fine. So it would always look weird because the center of the top lip was normal and then they would fall down, droop in and then this full bottom lip just looked weird. But the way my lips are right now is definitely the way I wanna keep them because these are the lips that I imagined, dreamed of having from the get-go from the beginning. So Nikki claimed that she wouldn't get her lips any bigger than they were at the time of that video. I'm not sure if that's true though because a couple years later in some pictures, they looked even plumper, but who knows? I got my lips done because I wanted my lips to be bigger. I wanted the sides of my top lip to curl up a little bit more and for my lipstick to look symmetrical. I got it done because I love lipstick and I wanted the lipstick to look good. I love myself a lot actually and the constant fact of having to prove yourself almost of why you got your lips done, it just, it gets so bored. In 2018, Nikki also posted a throwback photo of herself alongside her current one and the caption read, thank God for puberty and fillers. At least she's real. In an interview with a Dutch television presenter, Nikki also went over all the Botox and fillers she got on her face so we have a better idea. So let's recap Nikki's list because that was a lot to take in. She said she had Botox in her forehead, both all over as well as between her eyebrows. She also got her eyebrows lifted and Botox in her jaw because she grinds her teeth that night. Then Nikki moves on pointing out the obvious like her lips, duh, and more filler in her cheeks. She got her chin done too because she said she had a chin like an ass. Nikki's also gotten filler under her eyes on the tip of her nose in the corners of her mouth to lift them up and finally filler to fix her bunny lines. If you didn't know, bunny lines are those fine lines that appear when you scrunch up your nose. Anyways, that brings us up to a total of 11 places that Nikki gets filler or Botox done on her face and I'm no expert but I feel like that's a lot. So while that cosmetic work may be one of the reasons why Nikki looks so different these days, I'm sure she's gotten a bit addicted to the look as well. Considering Nikki has stated she's fully transitioned, it's safe to assume that at some point during her teen years, she got a boob job and full gender reassignments. We don't see her boobs that often though so it's a bit hard to tell. And considering Nikki's fiance Dylan apparently didn't know that she was transgender also threw me for a curve ball. I'm guessing if that's the case and she really did fully transition a long time ago. I know there's quite a bit of controversy on the whole topic of Nikki's fiance and whether he knew or not and that he should have. So if I missed anything about the subject or got something wrong, feel free to let me know in the comments. Aside from all the fillers, Nikki loved so much she also lost weight which changed her appearance quite a bit too. At the end of 2018, Nikki posted a before and after photo of her weight loss and captioned it saying, bye bye 50 pounds. Sometimes you have to be your own inspiration. You can definitely tell that she lost a significant amount and it's obvious in her face shape. Those pictures were taken months ago and to me it's just really cool to see a change in my face cause I see that I'm looking a little bit skinnier nowadays. Apparently Nikki worked with a personal trainer to make that happen as she's mentioned it before but she hasn't confirmed what her exercise or diet plan was. Nikki also said in the past a doctor Simon who does cosmetic work for plenty of stars even the Kardashians helped her get rid of pesky fat around her base. On his profile we can see him working on Nikki explaining that he did a non-surgical neck lift and double chin reduction which is done to reduce the fat pad and to tighten the skin under the neck. I don't know if we would consider that cosmetic work or weight loss but you get the idea. So now we've taken a look at Nikki and how she's changed over her YouTube career. Nikki has been living as a woman since the age of six and fully transitioned by 19 so she's really been the same for many years now despite coming out as transgender. Nikki said in her coming out video, I am me, I am still Nikki, nothing changes about that. The last thing I want in my life is for you not to trust me anymore or to look at me with different eyes or to look at me in a different manner or think that I have changed. And I think that's fair because Nikki's been embracing her FEMA identity since she was starting her YouTube channel way back in 2008. Nikki added in her video how she was most thankful for her mom who's been supportive since day one. And I'm guessing is the main reason why Nikki was able to live as herself so early on. So with such a great support system and so many fans who love and respect her I think we can all admire Nikki for being brave and coming out. Looking at her before and after photos she really does look a lot different from their early days but I think that's mostly because of her love for Botox and fillers rather than her transition. What do you guys think? Okay guys now I'll read out some comments from previous videos. On our recent Nathan Schwant before and after video Donald Haines set. From rags to riches good for them both. With the work they accomplished together Jeffrey with cosmetics Nate now has his own business interests. They're both financially comfortable so it's heartbreaking they split up. Now just best friends. Proud of Jeffrey and Nate with their successes. God bless them. Also in the same video this is Sarah wrote what a lot of us were thinking saying is anyone else holding out hope they'll get back together. Yes we are Sarah and I can tell a lot of people agree with that from all the likes on that comment. And finally our boy Skittle Boys said. Skittle Boys is in the comments. Much love from Skittle's nation. Shout out to Jeffrey and Nathan. Hoping they can still remain friends and Kara always fashionable. Thank you Skittle Boys for your positive comments.
