00:00Kid sees me, he goes, goth, emo, ugly b****.
00:04I like dressing in gyaru.
00:06Big makeup, colored hair, giant nails,
00:10just basically the most extreme of anything I can do.
00:13Today, I'm gonna transform from my gyaru aesthetic
00:16to a feminine basic look,
00:18and I do not think my family is ready for what's coming.
00:23I really wanna see.
00:25Okay, here we go.
00:27Oh my gosh.
00:28I haven't seen her as a blonde.
00:30Boo!
00:31Oh my gosh!
00:34Wow.
00:41Hi!
00:42You must be Crystal.
00:44It's so good to see you.
00:45You too.
00:45Come on in.
00:46Ready?
00:47Yeah.
00:47Oh yeah.
00:48My name is Rin, and I like dressing in gyaru.
00:52I would describe gyaru as big makeup, colored hair,
00:56giant nails, bangles that jingle,
01:00just basically the most extreme of anything I can do.
01:03Today, I'm gonna transform from my gyaru aesthetic
01:06to a feminine basic look,
01:08and I do not think my family is ready for what's coming.
01:14We're gonna be doing an Instagram model look for them.
01:16The key elements of a feminine basic style
01:19is really good shape to the face,
01:21accenting the natural features that they have
01:23and really bringing out their natural beauty.
01:26Ready? Ready to come on in?
01:27Mm-hmm.
01:30So exciting.
01:31I've never had somebody do my makeup before, like ever.
01:35It's so fun, yes.
01:36I'm really excited to see what you can do.
01:39I have been dressing alternative since before I can remember.
01:43I started making a lot of my own clothes,
01:46like I made the shirt and these pants.
01:48So after I found out I could just make my own clothes,
01:51I was like, what's stopping me from doing it?
01:53Back in 2016 is also when I started cosplaying.
01:56So I have a sewing machine and I just whip out my costumes.
02:03I wanted to do this transformation today
02:06because I wanna see if I can still think
02:08that I'm pretty even in natural makeup
02:11because I only really feel 100% confident
02:15when I'm in this look.
02:19I really wanna see
02:21because I have never had natural makeup.
02:23Yeah, I'm honestly scared of it.
02:26I love that.
02:28It's like, I don't feel like I look good with it.
02:30I get judged every single place I go.
02:33When I was walking into a grocery store once,
02:36this kid sees me, he goes,
02:38goth, emo, ugly.
02:41When I was in the skate rink once,
02:44there was like a mom or something
02:46who did not like how I was dressed.
02:48And she actually told me that she was going to beat me up.
02:50I was terrified.
02:52I was scared for my safety.
02:55So it's like everybody just has their own opinions.
02:58And I just honestly don't let any of them get to me anymore.
03:05I'm gonna be revealing my look to my boyfriend,
03:08my aunt and my stepdad.
03:11My stepdad doesn't really like how I look
03:13because he thinks it's too provocative.
03:16He's concerned that people won't take me seriously
03:18because of the way that I dress.
03:20The best thing that he could say is that he likes it,
03:24but he likes my normal style better
03:26because he knows that I'm more comfortable in it.
03:29My aunt moved into my house like a year ago
03:34after my mom's passing.
03:36I definitely think my aunt will think I'm pretty
03:38no matter what I wear.
03:39I definitely value her opinion heavily above basically anybody else's.
03:44I think my family is gonna be really excited to see me
03:48in more natural makeup and like a natural aesthetic
03:51because it's definitely something I've never tried before.
03:57Wren, how are you feeling now?
03:59I'm excited that I both will and won't like it.
04:05All right, Wren, we're all done.
04:06The look is complete.
04:07Are you ready to see yourself?
04:08Yes.
04:09Okay, here we go.
04:14Oh my god.
04:18That's not me.
04:20I don't know if I've ever seen this person before.
04:24Just, I didn't even know this version of me existed.
04:39I do not recognize myself in the mirror at all.
04:42I saw myself in the mirror.
04:44It took me a second to process that I was looking at my reflection
04:48and not somebody else's.
04:49I really like the hair.
04:50I think that this color of hair and the blunt bangs look nice on me.
04:54If I saw this person on the street, I'd think they're pretty.
04:58I don't think they're going to be able to process that this is me either
05:03because it looks so different from me without makeup
05:05or me with my makeup on.
05:08Like, I feel like this is just a completely different person.
05:11I have no clue what to expect.
05:14I don't tell people what they can wear and what they can't wear,
05:18but it is difficult to decide to go out in public with Rin sometimes.
05:24I think it'll be cool to see them in a different way than we're used to.
05:28I feel like I've already seen Rin in, like, a lot of styles and outfits
05:33and different kind of stuff, but I'm not sure what I'm expecting here.
05:37I haven't seen her as a blonde.
05:41I hope it's pretty cool.
05:42I know.
05:43What is she going to look like?
05:46Here we go.
05:47Boo!
05:48Oh my gosh!
05:51Wow!
05:52You look like a pixie.
05:54Oh my gosh, yeah.
05:57Cute.
05:57Yep, don't typically see this from Rin.
06:00Yeah.
06:01And you look a lot like your mom too.
06:03Yeah, no, I definitely feel like I look like a lot like her
06:07more than I do almost with no makeup.
06:09Do you like it, Yuki?
06:10I like it.
06:12I like your hair.
06:13I think you're pretty no matter what, pretty much.
06:15You know what I mean?
06:16Like, I think you could put on a trash bag and you'd still look cute.
06:21Still like your other style, but this is different.
06:24I feel like in both styles, it's still like a head-turner for people.
06:28They're like, oh my god, it's a pretty person.
06:31Well, Brian, what style do you prefer?
06:35Well, that's an easy question.
06:37Um, I would definitely prefer Rin to wear this style.
06:42I think it would give her more opportunities in, like, career.
06:49And I think they did a good job making you over.
06:54I like your style because it's more creative.
06:56I feel like it really shows who I am.
06:59Yeah, you're really expressing yourself.
07:01This doesn't feel like you.
07:03This isn't, I mean, you're beautiful and I like how it looks,
07:07but it just feels a little bit boring.
07:09Like, not really you.
07:11This experience has definitely taught me that
07:14my family will love me no matter what I look like.
07:16I definitely do understand why Brian might feel embarrassed
07:20when he is seen in public with me in my normal outfits
07:23because I definitely dress provocative and he is my stepdad,
07:29but they obviously put up with me in my normal outfits
07:33and I bet they'll continue doing it and they'll love me anyway.
07:37I don't think that I would do the style again
07:39because I don't feel like myself
07:41and I don't feel like it's expressing what I am on the inside
07:45and that's what I'm trying to do when I get all dressed up
07:48is I'm trying to show who I truly am.
07:51Yeah, yeah, that's great.
