JoJo Siwa rarely strays from her signature look: a tight high-ponytail decorated with a bow, tonnes of bright colours, glitter and a beaming smiling. We saw a rare glimpse of Siwa without her kiddish-look earlier this year when she experimented with brunette hair, but this most recent transformation is next level. In a collab that’s apparently been years in the making, YouTuber James Charles has given her a super-glam makeover and honestly, we can barely recognise Siwa.
“No bow, no glitter, no rhinestones,” assures the makeover video, which apparently caused a bit of nervousness for Siwa, who rarely let’s other people do her makeup.
“This is my dream and my nightmare at the same time,” she says in the vid. “Getting my makeup done…is just a no. I like to do it. I don’t let anybody else do it. It’s just a no. My hair? Even more so. You get one try.”
Throughout the video, Charles transforms the 17-year-old Siwa with a soft, glamourous makeup look and loose waves in her hair. They talk about her rise to fame on Dance Moms, her business, and dealing with being a teenager, with Charles adding in his experiences too.
By the end of the video, she looks so pretty and even compliments Charles on his work. “You did a wonderful job on the hair and the makeup. The makeup is stunning. It’s very pretty,” JoJo says of the final result. “It’s obviously not me. You know how I showed up here in sparkles and bright pink and neon and rainbow but it is really pretty.”
We definitely agree! And apparently so does the internet, after getting over the shock of the new look. We’re very intrigued to see if future collab videos are in the works!
