TE'QUILA, 35, from Atlanta, describes her amazing style as 'androgynous, expressive and very artistic!' Te'Quila prides herself by being able to look great in any outfit she chooses and is never afraid to take a risk with her fashion. Te'Quila told Transformed: "I feel like I'm a walking piece of art, I dress very masculine but I do have feminine features. It's very much a mixture of masculine and feminine energy and I think that's what I deliver." Te'Quila describes her wife Charisse as her 'number 1 hater and number 1 supporter' as not all of her fashion choices are well received. Te'Quila said: "My wife Charisse loves my style, but some days she'll be like: 'what are you wearing?! I definitely would not do that'!" Today, TeQuila's best friends are coming over to her place to catch up, but little do they know she has a huge surprise in store... With the help of makeup artist Lydia, Te'Quila will be transforming from her 'androgynous style' to a 'glam hyper feminine look' which is something none of them have seen before. How will Te'Quila's friends and wife react to the new style? Will they want Te'Quila to let the 'androgynous' look go for good? Or will they hate what they see and demand the return of the androgynous fashionista?

00:00I feel like I'm a walking piece of art.
00:02I would describe my looks lifestyle as androgynous.
00:06Very expressive, very artistic.
00:09I dress very masculine,
00:10but I have very soft and feminine features.
00:13Today I'm transferring from androgynous
00:14to a hyper-feminine style.
00:16I've not dressed in a super feminine style,
00:18like all the way feminine since I was about 14,
00:20so this is gonna be so weird.
00:21My best friends have never seen me like this,
00:23so they probably won't even recognize me.
00:30My name is Tequila .
00:34I would describe my look as androgynous,
00:37meaning it's very much a blend of masculine and feminine looks.
00:42I don't mind taking risks when I dress.
00:44I would use an acronym of PTSO.
00:47You guys know what that means.
00:48Put that on.
00:49The main points of a look that make it androgynous,
00:52in my opinion, would be just the balance
00:55of feminine and masculine energy in general,
00:57and that's what I think I deliver.
00:59As long as you're confident in what you're wearing,
01:01wear what you want to wear.
01:02That's how I feel about it,
01:03so I'm gonna wear what I want to wear.
01:04My wife, Sharice, and I met on Twitter.
01:06She loves my style.
01:07Some of the stuff I do put on,
01:08she's like, what are you wearing?
01:10I would not do that.
01:10She is my number one hater,
01:12but my number one supporter.
01:13I love your style.
01:15I love that you are unique in your own expression,
01:19and this stuff is very cute.
01:21Tonight I am going to transform into something
01:24completely different to surprise our closest friends,
01:27and it's gonna be a surprise to them all.
01:28They have no idea what's happening.
01:29Okay.
01:30I believe that.
01:31Even you.
01:32Even me?
01:33Even you.
01:33It better be on the plane.
01:34The bar is up here.
01:35All right, so let me get going
01:36because the makeup artist is on her way.
01:38I'm excited.
01:39All right.
01:39I'm excited.
01:40Hold on.
01:41I forgot to kiss you.
01:44Okay.
01:50Hey.
01:50Hey, how are you?
01:51I'm great.
01:52How are you?
01:52I'm good.
01:52I'm Lydia.
01:53I'm going to be your makeup artist today.
01:54Oh, nice.
01:54Nice.
01:55I'm Tequila.
01:55Nice to meet you.
01:56Super excited.
01:57Me too.
01:57All right, come on in.
01:58All right.
01:59For the look we're doing for Tequila today,
02:01it's going to be a very elevated, glamorous, goddess,
02:05hyper feminine.
02:06I like glam.
02:07Glam is giving.
02:08Goddess is giving.
02:09A lot of shimmer.
02:10A really pretty color on the lip.
02:12Big lashes and some blush and highlight on her cheeks.
02:16I've never seen so much makeup before.
02:18I don't even know what half of it even is.
02:20This is just a micellar water.
02:21Okay.
02:22It's just going to give you a refresh to get the skin ready for the makeup application.
02:28I'm about to go in with the Emberlisse cream.
02:30It works as a primer and it also moisturizes.
02:33I like how your shoes are displayed.
02:35I was born in Atlanta.
02:36That's a very Southern place to be.
02:39I was raised by a Baptist grandmother, church going.
02:43I was always in church.
02:44People from the South are very like close-minded with things and they're like,
02:48this is how things should be.
02:52I'm going to start with Prometer Eyes with the NARS Creamy Concealer.
02:56I used to wear heels and things all the time.
02:57Ever since I was little, really, I liked to dress and do things.
03:01Like I was in pageants and stuff when I was little.
03:03Even like going to church, I wear heels and stuff all the time.
03:06Skirts, dresses.
03:07I'm not dressed in a super feminine style, like all the way feminine,
03:10since I was about 14.
03:11So this is going to be so weird.
03:14I'm going to go in with the Natasha Denona Bronze palette,
03:17since we are doing that really golden goddess, hyper feminine look.
03:21I'm going in with the Makeup by Mario Master Matte palette now.
03:25Why did you want to do this transformation?
03:27I think it would be exciting and a super shock and surprise to like my wife and my friends.
03:32This is very out of the box.
03:34All right, we're about to do your favorite part.
03:35We're about to put these lashes on.
03:36I think we need to go big for the goddess though.
03:38Okay, let's do it.
03:42Macchio in Barcelona.
03:44And since she's got a really gold skin tone,
03:46we're just mixing and kind of designing her a nice color to match perfectly.
03:50I'm revealing this look to some close friends of mine who have never seen me
03:55in the slightest feminine outfit.
03:57And they've already been like,
03:58Oh my God, what are you calling us over here for?
04:00What is going on?
04:01I'm like, just show up.
04:03Stop asking me questions.
04:04I'm not going to tell you anything.
04:06So I am going to do her lips with the Makeup Forever Artist Color Pencil.
04:13So this is the Pillow Talk Charlotte Tilbury Big Limp Plumpgasm Lip Bloss.
04:19It's going to plump my lips.
04:20Just a little.
04:21A lot.
04:22This is the Hourglass Veil Setting Powder.
04:25This is just a very high quality setting powder.
04:27And it just really gives the skin that nice matte put together look.
04:32That is the One Size On Till Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray.
04:38All right, Tequila, we are all finished with your makeup.
04:41Are you ready to get dressed?
04:42I'm ready.
04:42Let's do it.
04:49All right, Tequila, are you ready to see your transformation?
04:52I'm ready to see it.
04:53Let's do it.
04:53How are you feeling?
04:54I feel excited, nervous.
04:56All right, let's do it.
04:57Three, two, one.
05:02Oh, this is crazy.
05:12I look pretty.
05:12I give myself that.
05:14I did a good job, Lydia.
05:16The wig is not bad.
05:18The wig is just bad.
05:19It's just crazy to see myself like this.
05:21That's crazy.
05:22I like it though.
05:23I look cute.
05:24Wow, I feel like a mom.
05:26I feel like I look older.
05:28It's giving super glam, super femme.
05:31What do you think about the makeup?
05:32I love the makeup actually.
05:34How do you think your best friends and wife are going to react when they see you?
05:37Somebody's going to curse.
05:39We're definitely going to laugh at this because like they've never seen me like this.
05:43Tequila being the type of person she is, I don't know what the heck to expect.
05:46I have no idea.
05:47I don't know because Tequila is a wild card.
05:51I think that she's done some type of transformation.
05:54I have never seen her dress any other way.
05:56In my mind, I have pictured her in certain things because you know, she's my good friend.
06:08Who is this Parisian baddie?
06:17Next day, can we?
06:18Wait, we got to see you tomorrow.
06:19I got to see you tomorrow.
06:20I got to see you tomorrow.
06:22I got to see you tomorrow.
06:24I got to see you tomorrow.
06:26I got to see you tomorrow.
06:28It's Tequila.
06:30I mean, what is happening?
06:32I'm a million.
06:34Turn around.
06:36What are you doing?
06:38Who are you?
06:39Who is me?
06:40I'm here.
06:42So what is your family?
06:43It's Mia.
06:44It's Mia.
06:45Okay, I like Mia.
06:46I like it.
06:48It's giving Mia.
06:49She looks absolutely gorgeous.
06:51She looks stunning.
06:52I wasn't expecting that.
06:53This is different.
06:54I haven't seen that in a while.
06:55And then she looks absolutely beautiful.
06:57I literally cannot stop looking at you.
06:59I don't know.
06:59I got to treat this lady a little different.
07:02Gentlewoman.
07:03Gentlewoman, absolutely.
07:05Yeah.
07:06As far as my preference for her style, it's whatever she likes.
07:10I don't have a preference.
07:11As long as she's confident and she feels good in it, I'm with it.
07:13I support it.
07:15I don't care.
07:16It's inspiring because it just only shows me that she literally can do anything and look great doing it.
07:23She looks really good, you know.
07:25I'm so proud of my friend.
07:26She looks real nice.
07:27Everyone was shocked, surprised.
07:29There was laughter.
07:30There was awe, amazement.
07:32Like, people have not seen me like this in person.
07:35Today's look just showed me that I'm a baddie.
07:37I could do both looks.
07:39Super hyper feminine.
07:41I could be super masculine if I choose to be.
07:44Whatever choice you choose to be on the spectrum, choose it and be confident in it.
07:48Don't be afraid to be yourself, regardless.
08:02Be afraid to be yourself, regardless.
08:08Son of a zeal, as our things are.
08:12Her favorite company of mine is forget dars.
08:15It's just like I don't know what I do.
08:18I think there is an intelligent version that I choose.
