00:00 I would describe my look as a vampire goth.
00:03 I like to wear a lot of corsets and a lot of lace
00:07 and the color dark red.
00:09 Today I'm gonna be transforming from vampire Barbie
00:13 into cacaic girlie.
00:15 This is something that is completely out of my comfort zone.
00:20 Oh my God.
00:22 This is actually shocking.
00:23 This isn't me.
00:25 My partner isn't gonna recognize me.
00:28 Oh my God, you look like a doll.
00:30 Hi.
00:38 Hi, nice to meet you.
00:38 It's nice to meet you too, come on in.
00:40 If I could summarize my look in a few words,
00:45 they would be vampiric and gothic.
00:48 I've been interested in the gothic subculture
00:51 ever since I was about nine or 10 years old
00:54 because I saw vampires on TV
00:57 and I really wanted to dress like that.
01:00 I think it's beautiful and cool looking.
01:02 The look I'm gonna do for Victoria today
01:05 is a soft feminine coquette look inspired by Lana Del Rey.
01:08 The key elements of this look are gonna be
01:11 natural, fresh skin, soft eyebrows,
01:14 there's gonna be a winged eyeliner
01:15 and some textured lashes.
01:17 I think she's gonna look very different
01:18 to how she looks now,
01:19 but I think she's gonna look very beautiful.
01:21 I'd say I've been dressing goth for about four years now.
01:25 I grew out my hair very long and I dyed it black.
01:28 I'm a natural blonde by the way.
01:29 I've also had multiple piercings.
01:32 I've got both my nostrils pierced
01:35 and I've got my septum, I've got my vertical labre,
01:37 got a bunch on my ears as well.
01:40 I've got my belly button and my tongue.
01:42 This is my favorite lipstick.
01:43 It's NYX Liquid Suede.
01:47 I do black lip liner,
01:48 then I just sort of fill in the gaps with this.
01:53 (dramatic music)
01:55 - So Victoria, why did you decide
01:57 on this type of transformation look?
01:58 - It's because this is like the complete opposite
02:01 of what I'd usually go for.
02:03 Natural and soft makeup is just not in my vocabulary.
02:07 In the past, I've tried dressing more basic to fit in
02:12 because I was bullied in school for being weird and ugly.
02:15 That's what they call me.
02:17 When I tried to fit in, I felt very unhappy
02:20 and it just wasn't me really.
02:23 And I just felt like I was having to fake everything,
02:27 especially my personality.
02:30 So I'm just using the Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation.
02:34 My partner isn't gonna recognize me.
02:36 - She really does like her style.
02:38 She's not very comfortable with colors.
02:40 I can't imagine her in very traditionally girly colors.
02:43 - I have a collection of thrifted vampire looking tops.
02:48 This is my favorite top that I've ever thrifted.
02:51 The other color I wear apart from black and red
02:54 is maybe sometimes dark purple.
02:57 I've got quite a lot of corsets.
02:59 So I've got over bust ones,
03:01 so which is the one I'm wearing
03:02 that comes like all the way over your body.
03:05 And there's also these ones that are under bust ones.
03:08 So they only go up to like here.
03:10 I can wear a corset as long as I want.
03:13 For me personally, they're not very uncomfortable.
03:17 I remove pretty much all my hairs off my eyebrows
03:21 to achieve the eyebrows I have at the moment.
03:24 I literally haven't had normal eyebrows
03:26 since I was like 15.
03:27 So I can imagine it would look quite strange.
03:30 I often get judged based on the way I look.
03:33 I've had it from strangers.
03:35 I've had it from family members, from friends.
03:39 Every time I'm out in public,
03:41 I've had people take pictures of me, laugh at me.
03:44 I have people coming up to me and saying I look like a witch
03:48 or I look like a vampire.
03:50 I don't take offense to those types of things,
03:53 but I can see that they mean it in an offensive way.
03:56 Everyone is free to do what they want.
03:58 And this is how I want to be.
04:01 So I think people shouldn't necessarily judge other people
04:04 based on how they look.
04:06 I do not judge anyone based on how they dress.
04:11 So today I'm going to be transforming
04:14 from my vampire Barbie look
04:16 into a sort of a coquette girly look
04:19 because I actually happen to be a big fan of Lana Del Rey.
04:23 This is something that is completely out of my comfort zone.
04:27 I don't own a single pink item.
04:30 People only expect me to listen to gothic bands.
04:34 I do listen to those anyways,
04:36 but it's quite fun to switch it up sometimes.
04:39 I'm going to be revealing my look to my partner Jack
04:43 and my friend Tamir.
04:44 The lip pencil is by Elsie Cosmetics,
04:51 which is the remarkable lip liner.
04:53 Okay, we're all done.
04:57 So now it's time to get you dressed.
04:59 I'm definitely nervous to see myself.
05:04 Do you have any idea how you look?
05:06 Not really, but I can already tell
05:08 that I might not like this dress.
05:10 Are you ready?
05:11 I'm ready.
05:13 Here we go.
05:14 Oh my God.
05:20 Oh my God.
05:24 I knew I wouldn't like the dress,
05:30 but I really do like the hair.
05:32 I think you've done an amazing job.
05:34 I really do think.
05:35 Wow.
05:36 The makeup, it just looks so soft, so feminine.
05:40 This is actually shocking.
05:41 This isn't me.
05:43 I can't.
05:44 Wow.
05:44 God, the shoes as well.
05:47 Oh my God, I look like a little princess,
05:50 like a little doll.
05:51 God.
05:53 And the bow as well.
05:54 Is that a bow?
05:55 Yeah.
05:56 It's just so the complete opposite of me.
05:59 I have never seen myself
06:03 with these types of eyebrows before.
06:05 What do you think Jack and Tamir
06:06 will think of this makeover?
06:08 I think they'll be just as surprised as I am
06:10 to see myself like this.
06:12 I've never seen Victoria wear anything
06:15 other than her sort of vampire goth aesthetic.
06:19 I've never seen her in anything different,
06:21 and I actually always wonder what does she look like
06:23 when she's just at home alone.
06:25 I'm quite excited to see what they've done.
06:29 I'm just nervous.
06:30 I don't know what to expect at all.
06:33 Okay, are you guys ready to see me now?
06:35 About as ready as I'm gonna be, darling.
06:37 Open your eyes now.
06:38 Oh my God, you look like a doll.
06:41 Oh my God.
06:43 I love the little bow as well.
06:44 She's got eyebrows.
06:47 That's so true.
06:48 The makeup.
06:49 You gonna do your eyebrows like that more often?
06:50 Absolutely not.
06:51 (laughing)
06:52 You look great.
06:54 Oh, thank you, but it's just not for me really.
06:57 If the dress was black, possibly with red, possibly.
07:01 And the bow and the socks.
07:02 We could make this your style,
07:04 but just with your colors.
07:05 Possibly, but you see the way the sort of style
07:07 is kind of loose and baggy and just leaves.
07:09 You like your corset.
07:11 It feels really strange.
07:13 It's adorable, and I think that's probably the best way.
07:18 Well, I don't really look adorable normally, do I?
07:20 No.
07:21 I wouldn't necessarily call myself adorable.
07:23 No, it's probably not a word I would normally use
07:25 to describe your style.
07:26 Exactly, yep.
07:27 Which style do you guys prefer?
07:29 Oh, I absolutely prefer her normal style, I think.
07:32 It's more suitable to Victoria's personality.
07:36 As a one-off, this is great.
07:38 Now I might wear this for Halloween, maybe.
07:40 (laughing)
07:42 I didn't expect Jack to find it adorable,
07:45 but I think their reactions were as I expected, really.
07:50 They were quite shocked to see me like this,
07:52 because they've never seen me like this before.
07:54 This experience has taught me that I'm very much
07:58 comfortable in my own style that I usually wear,
08:01 and it just has taught me that I feel so much prettier
08:06 in my normal style.
08:07 (upbeat music)
08:09 (whooshing)
08:11 (whooshing)
08:13 (whooshing)
