00:00If I could summarize my look in a few words, it would be otherworldly, it would be alien, it would be fantasy, it would be fantastic.
00:10My friend always wanted me to dress in a more normal look, so today I'm gonna give her the shock of her life.
00:17Those ears!
00:18When are you going to stop with all this?
00:213, 2, 1!
00:26Oh my god!
00:31Oh my god!
00:36What?
00:38Is that you?
00:41My name is Luis Padron.
00:43Since I was a child, I always loved to look like a fantasy character.
00:49The main elements that make me an elf are my long hair, my elf ears, my pale skin and the flashy look in general.
01:00My main inspiration comes from books, movies and everything that is related to fantasy like witches, wizards, aliens, elves, ghosts, vampires.
01:12If I could summarize my look in a few words, it would be otherworldly, it would be alien, it would be fantasy, it would be fantastic.
01:23Hey Marceia!
01:29Hey, OMG!
01:30How are you? Nice to see you again!
01:33Dude, what's happening?
01:36What do you mean? You're used to see me this way.
01:38I know, but the last time we saw you, you said I'm going away from this look.
01:42Well, some things are difficult to leave, you know?
01:44You came back, you're addicted to this look.
01:46Those ears! You told me that you were not gonna use those ears anymore.
01:52When are you going to stop with all this?
01:55It's just part of myself.
01:57Alright Luis, I'm going to the gym and then I'll come back and I'll see you later, ok?
02:00Ok Marceia, thank you! See you soon!
02:02Of course!
02:03Bye!
02:04Don't do anything crazy!
02:06Promise!
02:08Marceia lent me her home today. She has no idea what I'm doing.
02:11She thinks I'm just doing an interview, but I'm doing a total transformation of myself.
02:16From human elf to human being.
02:19If I like the way I look after the transformation, I will totally keep it and leave my elf persona forever.
02:31Hello! Welcome in!
02:33Thank you! Nice to meet you!
02:35Nice to meet you too. My name is Luis.
02:37I'm Crystal.
02:38Nice to meet you Crystal.
02:39Nice to meet you. I'll be doing your transformation today.
02:42Amazing!
02:44What was the last time you were like normal?
02:47A long time. I was a teenager.
02:50Oh my god, that is a long time.
02:51When you saw that.
02:52This is like my sweating sprays and stuff, but this is a spray tan.
02:57Yeah, let's go for that Californian look.
03:00I'm about to leave Transylvania and go full LA.
03:05Alright, so let's take these off.
03:08My elf ears.
03:11This.
03:12My wig too?
03:13Yeah, we gotta take it off. You'll have it back.
03:16Okay.
03:17Don't worry.
03:19The look I'm going for today is very Californian.
03:24A bit of a spray tan.
03:26For like the base makeup, I'm gonna keep it very simple.
03:29A little bit of, you know, bronzing, contour, a little bring the skin back to life.
03:37My look started to develop when I was really young.
03:41I started like tying my hair in fantasy colors, then using contact lenses, then...
03:49I always was different, you know?
03:51I know it's a thing that it's now more normal for guys to use makeup,
03:55but in that moment it was so different, especially from a small town in Argentina.
04:00I always want to be one step ahead.
04:04Right now I'm using the Old Spice pomade, just to get the hair to be a little more slicked back.
04:13So Luis, why do you want to do this masculine LA look?
04:18My friends have been telling me to try a change for such a long time now,
04:22so I decided to just give it a try and see how a normal human being lives and feels.
04:31So we're gonna get into some spray tan.
04:36So I'm gonna use this Sally Hansen airbrush, it's like a leg makeup.
04:41We're gonna start with a little bit light, see how it looks.
04:45Maybe a little darker.
04:50Oh, I think that looks good.
04:52We don't want it to be too dark.
04:53We want it to be a little bit natural.
04:56We want that sun-kissed effect.
04:58Yeah.
04:59Do you get judged on the way you look or dress?
05:02Some people can be critical, but most people I have met, they love the way I look
05:07and they actually are supportive of the way I want to look.
05:13I try not to listen to comments.
05:14I know that most people like the way I look, but part of becoming how I want to look
05:20is about, you know, not listening to criticism and just be what I want to be.
05:25This is Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter Foundation Powder.
05:29I like it because it gives coverage but not too heavy.
05:39So now I'm gonna put this Nudestix Hydra Peptide Lip Butter.
05:43Gonna get those hydrated lips.
05:50So we're all done.
05:51I can't wait for you to see yourself.
05:53Me too.
05:56Are you ready?
05:57Ready.
05:583, 2, 1.
06:05Oh my God.
06:07What a shock.
06:13I do look totally different.
06:15I can barely recognize myself in the mirror.
06:19Oh my God.
06:22Oh my God.
06:24From Transylvania to Cuba.
06:27What's the biggest difference for you about this look?
06:30I have never been this tan before.
06:32I have never tanned in my life.
06:33The color that I had when you met me was the darkest that I have ever been.
06:38And last year I was like ghost pale.
06:41So yeah, this is kind of a shock for me.
06:43Are you excited to show Marcela?
06:45I'm super excited.
06:46I wanna see her reaction.
06:48Yeah, same here.
06:49I wanna hear what she says.
06:50Yeah.
06:51You know, I'm starting to get used to it and I kind of like it.
07:08Oh my God.
07:10Oh my God.
07:12What?
07:13Is that you?
07:15You're alive.
07:16You have color.
07:19Oh my.
07:20You look younger.
07:21Really?
07:22You do.
07:23The elf look like in his 50s and you look like too young right now.
07:28The tan gives you like life, you know.
07:31Wow.
07:32I like it.
07:34It's a very different vibe and I like the shocking change.
07:38I love it.
07:39Very tan, right?
07:40Very mindful.
07:41Very demure.
07:42The hair is so much better than that wig.
07:44I'm so glad I'm not seeing those plastic ears once and for all.
07:49Thank God.
07:50I miss them though.
07:51But it's so much comfortable this way.
07:53Yeah, I know.
07:54The wig and the ears need to go.
07:56And the rest I think is pretty cool.
07:58Look, the dog likes it.
08:00Do you like it?
08:01Do you like it?
08:02Yes.
08:03It's Luis.
08:04Guys, it's Luis.
08:05It's me.
08:06Do you recognize me?
08:07Remember Luis?
08:09How does it feel seeing Luis in this look?
08:14I'm still kind of shocked.
08:16Yeah, it feels completely different because I would never kind of imagine him going for this.
08:23He looks more alive actually now.
08:25What do you think of your friend's reaction?
08:27I thought Marcela was not going to like it, but her reaction was better than expected actually.
08:31What do you make of your new look?
08:34I think it's different.
08:36I think it's wild.
08:37I think it's fun.
08:38And I don't know.
08:40I'm just ready for a change and I like it.
08:45At least for today.
