00:00I describe my style as 80s trad goth.
00:03I tend to avoid pink or very flashy colors
00:07because I look flashy enough already.
00:10My dad definitely tells me maybe tone down the makeup.
00:14Today I'm transforming from 80s trad goth into Barbie.
00:18Oh God, that's very pink.
00:22My friend Tamlyn is going to come see the transformation.
00:26You literally look like a character out of Mean Girls.
00:29I just goth to girl boss.
00:34I find cemeteries very peaceful places.
00:37I like coming on walks here especially after a long day to calm my thoughts.
00:42It usually takes me about 45 minutes to an hour to do my makeup
00:46depending on how distracted I get while doing it.
00:50The hardest bit is definitely getting all the lines straight
00:53so a lot of concealer goes to hide a lot of mistakes.
00:57I describe my style as 80s trad goth.
01:0180s trad goth style is mostly what goths, punks used to wear in the 80s
01:07so it was very DIY, handmade, making your own clothes.
01:12I wear mostly black, sometimes some burgundy, sometimes some white.
01:17This is one of my favorites that I've made with some pins.
01:22I tend to avoid pink or very flashy colors because I look flashy enough already.
01:28Just some extravagant wizard look.
01:35I like standing out of the crowd because it makes people see that there are other people
01:40and different people in the world and not everyone has to look the same
01:44and people can have the courage to be themselves.
01:47My dad definitely tells me to tone down the makeup just to make me more approachable
01:53so people wouldn't be so, quote unquote, scared of me.
01:56Today I'm transforming from 80s trad goth into Barbie.
02:01I like Barbie for being so unashamedly feminine.
02:09Barbie is a feminist icon for a reason.
02:12Although some people may disagree.
02:14Oh my god.
02:17That's very pink.
02:20Definitely Barbie.
02:22Oh my god.
02:23Oh my god.
02:25Oh my god.
02:27These scare me a bit.
02:29I've never walked in heels.
02:31It's so not me.
02:33I feel like if I wore this outside I would not just be lying to myself
02:38but be lying to the whole world.
02:41Hello.
02:42I'm Gemma, the makeup artist.
02:43I'm Dani.
02:44Come in.
02:45Nice to meet you.
02:47So Barbie makeup look.
02:48It needs to have some element of pink, maybe a hint of sparkle, shimmer.
02:52Very girly.
02:53So some of the biggest challenges for today's transformation.
02:56Dani has no eyebrows.
02:58So getting two eyebrows with symmetry and balance is a big challenge.
03:03I think we should start with hair.
03:06What's your natural colour?
03:07Blonde.
03:08No.
03:09Oh my god.
03:12Right, next step is to remove your makeup.
03:15Your friends ask you to do their makeup for them.
03:17Sometimes, yeah.
03:18Okay, makeup removed.
03:23Have you ever had your tattoos covered before?
03:25No.
03:26No.
03:27I'm ready to be tanned a little.
03:28How easily does the tan go off?
03:31It's just instant.
03:32Okay.
03:33We're definitely getting Barbie vibes.
03:46Dani, this is the last finishing touches.
03:50Ready?
03:51I have no words.
03:52I'm just so anxious.
03:53Three.
03:54Two.
03:55One.
03:56That's not me!
03:57Oh no.
03:58Oh my god.
03:59I feel like Paris Hilton.
04:00I don't recognize myself.
04:01It feels like I'm looking at a picture of someone and not me, but they're copying me.
04:10It makes me feel like I'm alive and I'm used to looking dead.
04:15I can be Barbie on the inside but not on the outside.
04:31It feels like I am faking something and it doesn't feel like me at all.
04:38I've never seen her without her like whole goth attire so I'm really excited to see what
04:51she's going to be like without it all.
04:53Oh my god.
04:56You're going to cry.
04:59Oh my god.
05:01Oh my god.
05:04Oh my god.
05:06This is exactly how I reacted when I felt.
05:11I don't like it.
05:13I really don't.
05:14Me neither.
05:15You look like someone who bully me at school.
05:17You literally look like a character out of Mean Girls.
05:19Goth to girl boss.
05:21I just learn to appreciate the way I express myself outwardly more and the fact that I'm
05:27not afraid to dress the way I want to be and be myself just shows how much I actually
05:33appreciate what I do on a daily basis.
