00:00Feel like being masked gives me more of a purpose to like be that representation for people who don't have it or didn't have it
00:06Growing up. It's cozy and comfortable and I think it's swaggy. It's cool. I am going from full mask to full femme
00:17Wait
00:20My mask bros are about to see me as a girl
00:30Hey, I'm Brittany the makeup artist. Nice to meet you. Oh, I'm scared you're about to turn me into a girl
00:38Hey, what's up? My name is Lexi and I would describe myself as a mask
00:43Presenting person if I could describe my look in a few words
00:48It would probably be
00:50authentic
00:51creative and
00:54Sustainable. I'm definitely more of a baggy tomboy
00:57Aesthetic that's really what attracts me to the masculine aesthetic. It's just that it's cozy and comfortable and I think it's swaggy
01:04It's cool. I'm a creative director and an entertainer. I'm a dancer
01:09Model actress you name it. So Lexi is actually a super masculine
01:15beautiful
01:16Tomboy, but we're actually gonna turn her into an Instagram baddie
01:20I'd say the key features of a femme and so baddie look would be just someone with big lips big lashes
01:27Long blonde hair. How do you think she'll look after the makeovers completely? I think she's gonna look perfect
01:32I mean, she looks beautiful now, but I'm excited to turn her into someone completely different just for fun
01:38All right, Lex. Are you ready to go?
01:40Not really
01:42It's gonna be so fun
01:50Growing up I was always a tomboy. I remember like going into like middle school and feeling like I needed to fit in
01:55I started like wearing skinny jeans and started dressing more girlier. It wasn't until high school
02:02That I started discovering my sexuality which then inspired a lot of my style and my fashion
02:08I feel like being masked and being mass presenting gives me more of a purpose to like be that
02:13Representation for people who don't have it or didn't have it growing up
02:17How are you feeling about the transformation? I'm a little bit nervous
02:22I'm definitely I think like
02:24Leading up to today. I was excited. But now that it's like the day and my makeups getting done. I'm absolutely terrified
02:31Why are you terrified? I'm the type where like if I put anything girly on or like
02:37Sometimes even like too much makeup. Like I feel ugly really. Yes. What if you actually really like it?
02:43Girl you're gonna have to do wonders over here
02:46So what type of products are you using on my face today? So I use a lot of NARS
02:52Products some Natasha Denona. I use a lot of Patrick Todd and a little bit of Dior
02:59When I think of a femme or an insta baddie, I think
03:05Full face of makeup. I think hair done
03:08So, who are you gonna be revealing this look to you later?
03:11I have like my whole friend group is like all masculine presenting people. How do you think they're gonna react when they see you?
03:19Girl
03:20They're literally gonna be dying on the floor laughing
03:22So I'm using this Natasha Denona bronze palette because of her outfit later
03:26I want to keep her look pretty bronze so it won't clash with what she's wearing. This is my holy grail product
03:32It is Patrick Todd major dimension number three
03:35And it has cool tones warm tones and it basically helps me create any look I want
03:42Holy grail
03:44I know I'm going full femme, but there's a lot of different ways to do that
03:48For example, like I have tattoos like are we covering my tattoos up? I'm a little nervous about that
03:56So today would be the first time that I'm gonna be fully feminine
04:01So today would be the first time that i'm gonna be fully femme out in public
04:07Since like middle school. Do you get judged for the way you look or dress when I first?
04:13Started dressing more masculine. I was judged by everybody left and right nowadays
04:18how I get judged is usually from people who are either uneducated or like
04:23Not exposed to women dressing more masculine when people judge or like look a certain way
04:28It's like I could kind of like take a moment
04:30I'm like, oh like they're not surrounded by a diverse crowd where this is normal or you know, like not confusing
04:37I don't know
04:38Honestly, I think the best word to describe is humorous because whether I like it or not like I still laugh at it
04:43I know who I am
04:44I'm confident with who I am
04:47Why did you choose this type of transformation
04:53Honestly now that i'm in it, I don't know why I chose it
04:57So lexi, are you ready? Nope, i'm terrified. I feel like a bad bitch, but I don't know what I look like
05:05Oh my god. I'm scared. You ready? No. Oh my gosh. You ready? Three two
05:10one
05:12Wait, hold on guys
05:17Hold on
05:19Hey
05:26So
05:31I literally if i'm being honest, I look like my sister. You look so good my little sister. I think I look like a baddie
05:39Do you recognize yourself? Nope, not at all. That's really funny. Wait, the makeup looks incredible. Thank you
05:47I can't believe I have no tattoos. I kind of like it off like i'm really surprised that I like it
05:53I wouldn't dress like this but like
05:56For the experiment
05:59I like it all how does the transformation make you feel?
06:02It makes me feel
06:04It makes you know, I always say get you a girl who could do both
06:08And I think it's making me feel like I can really do anything I want
06:13What do you think your friends are gonna think? I have no idea. It's me. I think they're gonna hit on me for sure
06:18I think lexi's style is very authentic to lexi. Yeah for sure
06:23She's really just always dressing in a way that like
06:27Whatever she has on the outside is just mirroring what she's feeling on the inside
06:30She just has that spirit and that energy that it's just like you just got to snap your head my mask bros
06:36Are about to see me as a girl
06:39Wait a minute. What the fuck?
06:41Sorry, we're in a public area
06:46Hey, I don't know how to feel
06:54I didn't even notice it was you. I was about to be like, I think this is a closed area
07:01You look great
07:04You look great, whoever did your makeup. Hey, she would still turn heads in the club. There we go. It's giving the makeup
07:11I love the makeup. I love the makeup. I love the outfit. I think it's fine. Which stall do you prefer?
07:17Mask or fam, you mean lexi mask. I prefer her and whatever she feels comfortable in. Yeah, let's be honest
07:24No, no, no, i'm for real if tomorrow you came and you're like i'm gonna switch it up. I would be like
07:31Which is really funny because that's like what it was in high school for me. I was dressing really girly
07:34I feel like a lot of us though when we were younger dressed girly because we thought we had to yeah
07:40But we were trying to fit in and not be like the rules of a girl
07:45And I actually I personally felt more like a woman when I started dressing how I wanted than when I was like
07:51Dressing. Yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah
07:53one of the questions we wanted to ask you guys is like
07:55If I were to dress like this and let's say you didn't know me like would you hit on me or date me type of thing?
08:00Well, I think rainy made it clear. Yes, because you
08:05I think my friend's reaction was exactly what I thought it was gonna be just now when I was like waiting in the car
08:09To come in I started like getting the shakes like it was like nervous shakes
08:13And I really think it's just because like of how uncomfortable I am dressing like this
08:17but i'm really proud of myself for like
08:19Being out in public dressing like this because what this really taught me is that like one
08:25Nobody cares and then also just that like as long as you're being yourself and you're confident you could pull off anything
08:31So confidence is key
08:42You
