00:06CL is a part of a group called 21 and that was my first introduction to that group.
00:11K-pop has consumed my life on many different levels. I'll wake up in the morning and watch
00:17YouTube videos of any new K-pop performances that I've missed. I love CL because I read an
00:25interview of hers maybe a couple of years ago where she talks about being a role model for a
00:30lot of younger Asian women who look up to her. She mentioned that you know a lot of
00:35people are sort of afraid to kind of come out of their shells and fully represent
00:38themselves as like this creative human expressive being. She's trying to
00:42encourage these younger women to sort of embrace that. If I were to meet CL I would
00:47ask her if we could be friends because I think she's so cool. Before we get into it
00:53don't forget to subscribe down below. In this first look CL is performing with
00:5921 during Iggy's best new band concert in 2011. It is reminiscent of one of her
01:05looks in the I am the best music video from her outfit to her hair. It is a
01:10distinct look from early on in her music career. For her eyes she is winged out
01:15eyeshadow.
01:25CL's hair is pulled into a long dramatic ponytail and she has a full set of bangs.
01:43For her lips she has a nude gloss.
01:49Okay.
01:51Yay.
01:53Oh my god.
01:55What the.
01:56I do look like a complete.
01:58This doesn't look like me.
02:00Oh my god.
02:02I like the eyes.
02:05I've never had this hair color before so it's kind of fun.
02:11Oh my god.
02:17The second look is from a Tiffany T launch party in 2014. CL is a few years into her music
02:23career.
02:29She is starting to experiment more with her look. For her makeup she has sharp long wings with a
02:35little bit of black shadow smudged on her lower lash line.
02:46She has platinum blonde hair that is braided together in a side fishtail. The look is finished with a glossy
02:51red lip.
03:13What? This is so crazy. Oh my gosh. This one I feel like it could be a different version of
03:21me.
03:21I look like a rich housewife. You guys really outdid yourselves. My hair looks good. I feel fancy.
03:27Fancy and famous.
03:29Woohoo. Bye bye.
03:33This last look is from New York Fashion Week in 2016. This look is what CL is known for today.
03:38Where she has pursued more of a solo career and released her own single such as Hello Bitches.
03:46Her makeup is very intense. Her eyelids have a base of bronze eyeshadow with an intense black wing on top.
04:02Her base is more contoured than previous looks.
04:08As seen in her singles, she is rocking teased out grey hair.
04:21And on her lips, she has a vampy berry lip.
04:26Wow!
04:28Whoa!
04:30Now I really look famous.
04:32This is good, guys.
04:33I feel like this is like an actual K-pop star look, I think, for me.
04:37My hair is really cool. My makeup is bomb.com.
04:42The first one I felt like a shock to the system, maybe because it was my first transformation.
04:47And the second one I felt like a rich mom, which was great because that's me in the future.
04:52This one's my favorite one. I feel like this one's the most me.
04:54I feel like I'm ready for my debut as a K-pop star.
04:58I feel like transformed. I've evolved.
