00:00 Today I'm going from trad goth to glitzy glam Barbie,
00:04 and I'm gonna be surprising my two best friends tonight.
00:06 And I am super scared.
00:08 I'm scared that I'm gonna like it.
00:11 If I had to summarize my look in a few words,
00:13 it would be dark, gory, and vampire-esque.
00:17 - You ready to see?
00:20 - I am.
00:21 - Looks so good.
00:23 One, two, three.
00:26 - Oh my gosh, this is not me.
00:29 I don't wanna look at myself.
00:31 Oh my God.
00:33 I'm Izzy.
00:36 I've been doing goth makeup for like,
00:37 I would say maybe two or three years now.
00:40 I've always liked darker clothes
00:43 and like the whole aesthetic.
00:44 When I was a kid, I always was more attracted
00:47 to the more vampire, dark aesthetic.
00:50 I feel like goth to me is sometimes just,
00:53 I feel like I'm playing myself.
00:54 I feel like when I'm dressing up
00:56 and I feel like I'm being true to myself,
00:58 I feel like this is who I wanna be and who I am.
01:01 Today, I'm being transformed from traditional goth to Barbie.
01:06 This is like complete opposite of like what I would do.
01:08 Like I'm very like black, maybe white, grays,
01:12 maybe like dark reds, dark purples,
01:14 but I would never do a pink.
01:16 (knocking)
01:21 - Hi. - Hi.
01:22 - I'm Victoria, so nice to meet you.
01:24 - Nice to meet you.
01:24 - Are you excited?
01:25 - I am.
01:26 Do you wanna come in? - Thank you.
01:27 - Do you know what kind of look we're going for?
01:29 - I think we're going for glam.
01:30 - Yeah, I'm thinking like a really airbrushed skin,
01:34 a little bit of a smoky,
01:35 kind of like an Instagram influencer model look.
01:38 - Okay, I like that.
01:39 - I'm gonna take your lashes off.
01:44 - Okay.
01:45 - Okay.
01:46 Doesn't it feel so freeing?
01:48 - I feel like I can see much better.
01:49 Years ago, I started doing like eyeliner
01:54 and I started dressing a little bit more alternative.
01:56 I was wearing like band shirts all the time
01:59 and it slowly started developing into like,
02:00 you know what, I don't care what people say about me.
02:03 I wanna start dressing how I want to.
02:05 Both my parents were like heavily tattooed,
02:07 like alternative people,
02:08 so I feel like I was definitely like going in that direction.
02:12 So I feel like I was like born to be this way.
02:16 When I think of a glam look,
02:17 I think of like high heels, sparkly dresses,
02:20 glitters, glossy lips.
02:23 - And what made you wanna choose that?
02:25 - Just like complete opposite of like what I would do.
02:27 Like I'm very like black, maybe white, grays,
02:32 maybe like dark reds, dark purples,
02:34 but I would never do a pink.
02:36 I've avoided like glam, glitzy Barbie for my whole life
02:40 'cause I'm scared like deep down
02:42 that I might actually like it.
02:43 - And what happens if you like it?
02:45 - I'd lose all my money, all my clothes.
02:47 I've spent so much money on like goth clothes
02:50 and dark, scary stuff and all my goth stompy boots.
02:55 I'm scared that I'm just gonna have to like
02:57 buy a new wardrobe.
02:58 - Okay, so I'm gonna get started on the tattoos.
03:02 - All right.
03:02 I'm a little nervous, I'm pretty scared.
03:05 - Don't worry, just gonna turn you into a whole new person.
03:09 - I was trolled in high school for my traditional goth look
03:14 and it got to the point where I was like
03:16 extremely self-conscious about how I looked.
03:19 But I would be called like names like Batman
03:22 or Vampire or Freak.
03:25 I remember walking down the halls
03:26 and people would like run past me and call me names
03:29 and it was like, why?
03:31 I feel like it was really hard for me to make friends.
03:33 I only had like a specific small group of friends
03:36 that consisted of two other people and it really sucked.
03:39 - Your skin looks amazing right now.
03:42 How do you think your friends are gonna react to this?
03:44 - They're gonna be shocked.
03:46 I'm gonna be revealing my look to my two best friends.
03:49 I think that they're gonna hate it.
03:53 They're definitely gonna be surprised
03:54 that they've never seen me like this.
03:57 So it's definitely gonna be a shocker to everybody.
03:59 I am so excited for the transformation today.
04:03 - I'm so freaking scared.
04:05 - So how are you feeling about that?
04:07 - I'm terrified, what if I like it?
04:09 - What if you do like it?
04:11 - Gonna be weird.
04:11 - It'll be weird.
04:12 I don't think I've ever seen Izzy
04:13 in anything but trad goth.
04:14 - Yeah.
04:15 - And giant lashes.
04:16 - And giant lashes, yeah.
04:17 - Don't even bring up my lashes.
04:19 Parting with my lashes is like parting
04:22 with a deep sentimental item that I have.
04:25 These--
04:25 - The emotional support lashes.
04:27 - They are emotional support lashes.
04:29 - And it's like, why did you decide
04:31 to come to the transformation today?
04:32 - I'm always like really dark, goth, scary, tall,
04:36 just very ominous.
04:39 So I feel like it's just gonna--
04:41 - Overbearing presence.
04:43 - Yeah, I'm just gonna be like,
04:45 I'm going from unapproachable to approachable.
04:48 - I'm never gonna see God with Izzy ever again.
04:51 - Okay.
04:57 - I think we're done.
05:00 You ready to see?
05:01 - I am.
05:02 - Looks so good.
05:04 - So nervous.
05:05 - All right, ready?
05:07 - Ready as I'll ever be.
05:09 - One, two, three.
05:14 (laughing)
05:17 Oh my gosh.
05:19 I don't look like myself.
05:24 This is so weird.
05:29 This is not me at all.
05:30 The fact that, I can't, I can't, I can't.
05:34 I don't know if I love this or hate it.
05:40 - You look like a Barbie.
05:41 - I do look like a Barbie, but this is not me.
05:44 I don't want to look at myself, like I'm scared.
05:47 I'm getting like uncanny valley from this.
05:50 Oh my gosh, I feel like I'm gonna have a heart attack.
05:55 I'm gonna take a second, I'm gonna take a breather.
05:57 Oh my God.
05:57 The more I look at it, the more I like it,
06:01 but also at the same time, like this is not me.
06:03 This is so terrifying.
06:05 Like, this is not me at all.
06:10 - It's very different.
06:12 - My heart's racing right now.
06:14 - What do you think your friends are gonna say?
06:17 - I think they're gonna scream.
06:19 - Yeah? - Yeah.
06:20 - It's gonna be weird.
06:21 I don't think I've ever seen Izzy
06:22 without like heavy makeup on, so it'll be interesting.
06:25 We've never seen her without tattoos.
06:26 I think that's gonna be like the trippiest part
06:28 is like, she's heavily tattooed.
06:30 So having her without tattoos
06:31 is definitely gonna be an experience.
06:33 Oh my God.
06:35 What the (beep)
06:37 That is not Izzy.
06:38 That's crazy.
06:41 - Hi.
06:42 (upbeat music)
06:44 - That's crazy.
06:45 (laughing)
06:46 - You look like a Kardashian.
06:47 (laughing)
06:48 - No, that's wild.
06:50 - Do you like it?
06:51 - It's pretty, but it's not Izzy.
06:53 - No, it's not me at all.
06:55 I feel like I'm wearing like a not Izzy meet suit.
06:58 Like I'm wearing the skin of a different person.
07:00 - Yeah, it's weird.
07:01 - I feel like my personality,
07:02 my whole being has been stripped of me.
07:04 - Yeah.
07:05 That would check out.
07:06 - I feel like I look like the color beige right now.
07:09 I feel like I look boring and bland.
07:11 - Like this isn't me.
07:12 Where's the pizzazz?
07:13 - The pizzazz?
07:14 - Where's the spice?
07:15 - I don't think we would be friends.
07:17 - Really?
07:18 (laughing)
07:19 - Girl.
07:20 - We wouldn't be friends if I looked like that.
07:21 - We wouldn't be bumping into each other at metal shows.
07:24 - No, I look like I only listen to Taylor Swift
07:25 and Katy Perry.
07:26 - Yeah, you do.
07:28 (laughing)
07:29 - What do you think of your friends' reactions?
07:31 - They were so shocked.
07:33 I knew that they were gonna react that exact way,
07:35 but they were just completely just like mind blown.
07:40 - So I would say this experience has taught me
07:43 just to always be myself and don't follow beauty standards
07:48 just because it's popular or what the beauty standard is.
07:52 Just to always stick true to who I am
07:55 and what makes me happy.
07:56 (upbeat music)
