2025 was a wild ride and as the year officially wraps up it's time to take a look back
0:08
We gathered all the chokeholds, the tears, the gasps and the utter overwhelming joy
0:16
Get ready for the most iconic and emotional transformation reveals of the year
0:22
Coming in 10th is Scooby, our modern day pirate. His body is 98% covered in tattoos, which did not make his mom happy
0:34
He covered his tattoos as a Mother's Day gift. Hey, are you Kirby
0:39
Yes, I am. I'm Scooby. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Are you ready for today? Yes, ma'am
0:44
Let's do it. Let's do it. My name is Scooby, and I would describe my look as modern day pirate
0:50
I would say the main points of my look are my tattoos and my ability to mesh a more bougie lifestyle with that of a hippie and combining those two
1:03
Mother! What's up? Mom, I need to ask you something. Oh boy, now what
1:09
I need your honest opinion on what you think of my tattoos and my style
1:13
Really? You want my honest opinion? Yeah. You know I hate it. Well, what about it though? Give me some juice
1:19
Because you're such a good looking baby, a good looking boy. With all those tattoos, you know
1:26
It's just like, you look at your face, you have this gorgeous face, but look at your body
1:30
It's color everywhere. All right, what about my style? I wish you dressed a little more conservative, you know
1:35
Like a gentleman? Like a preppy boy, like one of those rich boys
1:39
Instead of all those cat hats and ripped t-shirts and stuff like that
1:44
Because I feel like I have a beard for a son. My mother's never really liked my look
1:49
She's definitely always wanted me to be tattoo free and to dress like a gentleman
1:53
The only thing I ask, do not touch your face. Oh, not yet. Huh
1:57
I'm just kidding. You better be kidding me because I will die
2:01
I swear I will die if you put something in your face. So the key elements to a cleaner, smarter look are, well, first off, no tattoos
2:12
So we're going to cover them up. And his hair is a little bit on the wild side right now
2:16
So we're going to tame it. And then for the clothes, we're just gonna give him a sharper, cleaner look
2:21
Kinda like a businessman, but it's his day off, he still wants to look good
2:25
Alright Scooby, I'm ready for you. Okay, so first I'm gonna do your hair
2:29
So just take the hat off for me, so let's see it. Alright, here we go
2:35
I'm nervous. What are you most nervous about? My tattoos. Oh, okay. Yeah, that'll feel different
2:43
that'll feel different. My style before my tattoos was pretty goth, emo. I wanted to be a rock star
2:49
ever since I was like six years old so I went pretty hard with that aesthetic for a while
2:55
When I was a baby I was born with a cholestomy bag. Basically my intestine didn't work so I
2:59
couldn't use the restroom. I had a reversal so I don't have a cholestomy bag anymore but I am left
3:04
with a giant scar and that was the reason why I decided to cover my body in tattoos
3:09
All right, take off your nose rings. Okay. I am going to be covering everything that the shirt is not covering
3:20
So I'm going to color correct first, and then I'm going to apply a layer of foundation
3:25
I am a little apprehensive about getting my tattoos covered. These are my safety blanket. Some people online say they're my whole personality
3:33
So I definitely don't know how I'm going to feel once they're covered. So far I've spent over $97,000 on my tattoos
3:40
I will say it's been a journey to get here, but I feel incredible about the way I look now
3:45
This is the Mud FX palette. Basically any blue tone it cancels it out with the peach tone, which is what I'm using right now
3:56
This is the Graptobian HD Glamour Cream. It covers up honestly anything
4:02
I definitely do get judged on the way I look and dress specifically on social media
4:07
People may think you're cringe at first, let's say if you start posting on the internet. I've been called things like a hypnotic giraffe, tapestry in the corner, a Persian rug
4:16
Recently, this little kid looks at me, points and goes, he looks like a church
4:20
But I will say that 95% is great judgment. The comments, regardless if they're negative or positive, the fact that you took the time
4:28
to exert your energy towards me makes me feel special. How do you think your mom's gonna react
4:35
She's probably gonna cry tears of joy. My mom's probably wanted to see me without tattoos for so long
4:41
This is definitely gonna be one Mother's Day gift that she'll never forget
4:45
This is the Laura Mercier translucent powder. It's just to set everything in place
4:50
All right, so we're all done. So just go get changed and don't look in the mirror, okay
4:55
Yes, ma'am. All right, come with me. I feel nervous. I feel like a dork
5:03
Here we go. Ready? I'm ready, man. I'm on the edge of my seat
5:08
I'm stiff as a board. Three, two, one. Oh, my days
5:21
Who is he? I look ridiculous. I look like a straight dork, y'all
5:37
Oh yeah. Yeah, y'all did your big one with this. I look like a freaking nerd, man
5:47
I don't even want to look at myself, bruh. I feel like a stranger in my own body
5:52
I think you look great. I like the color green on you. Let's just see what your mom thinks
5:58
That's what's important. Yeah. Yep. I am excited and a little anxious
6:02
Just look now, it's overwhelming to some people. I want him to look like an entrepreneur
6:08
so I don't have to work for anybody. So I like to see him on a dress shirt, a tie
6:15
That would think he would look amazing. Happy Mother's Day. Oh, my God
6:22
Look how gody you look, bro. Oh my gosh. Let me see your hands
6:28
No tattoos. I love it. That was amazing, bro. Oh my God, that looks great
6:35
Wow. No hand tattoos, no neck tattoos. I love the color. I love the dress pants
6:41
I love everything. I'm so glad you didn't touch your face. I thought you were going to come out with a face tattoo
6:46
I would be dead. Can you please dress like this and cover your tattoos more often
6:51
My birthday is right in the corner. Of course, Mommy. I'll do this for your birthday
6:55
I think Scooby's new look is real nice. He looks really dapper, real gentleman-like
7:00
Yeah, I think it suits him, literally. I feel like a dork
7:04
I think it looks amazing. It's my Vogue magazine cover. So I really love it
7:10
You guys better enjoy this while I last because the tattoos are coming back. It looks amazing
7:18
I love it. I wish you liked this all the time. Thanks, honey
7:22
Thanks, guys. I think everyone reaction was priceless My mom was super happy just like I expected she would be I thought my brother would make a little bit more fun of me but I glad everybody approved I probably would never wear any of this again if I being honest
7:35
It's very strange. It's super weird. I feel like a nerd. I really love my style, and my tattoos are a part of me
7:43
However, I think I'll surprise my mom for her birthday. At number nine is Alex, who paid a loving tribute to her late father
7:52
covering her tattoos to get the girly look he always wanted. Hi! Hello! Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. I'm Meg. I'm Alex. Here to do the transformation
8:03
Come on in. Thank you. My name's Alex and I would describe my look as alternative. A little bit of
8:09
goth. I'd say probably a little bit of punk in there as well. I was massively emo kid. I've been
8:15
getting tattooed since I was 18. It's all different parts of my personality. Money-wise on my tattoos
8:20
It's probably close to getting between eight to 10 grand now, easily
8:25
I feel like a few words that would summarise my look would be obviously tattooed
8:30
Taured. I've been told into my dating. I just feel dumb now. It's fine
8:38
Today I'm removing my tattoos as a tribute for my dad. It's something that I know he would have always liked, so I'm doing it for him
8:45
So we're doing a tattoo cover-up and a makeup transformation. Similar to what I'm wearing on my face today, so a bit more of a neutral kind of makeup
8:53
Okay, Alex, I think I'm ready for you now. You sit down here for me
8:58
Thank you. I'm definitely out of my comfort zone. I have no idea what outfit I've got, I'm not allowed to see and I'm nervous
9:06
So this is the Garnier, it's just a little cleanser for taking off any makeup
9:12
So we're just going to start removing any of Alex's makeup. Goodbye eyebrows
9:17
When I was a really small kid, it was a lot of colour. Just very casual, very normal
9:23
I used to wear a lot of pink. I moved to Spain when I was about 10 years old
9:27
I used to get bullied at school for being blonde, and I got a bit fed up with the attention
9:31
So I ended up actually deciding to dye my hair a bit darker. I experimented a lot with different styles
9:37
so I think that's where it all sort of started. So I remember seeing all the really massive, brightly coloured mohawks
9:42
and just being like, oh my God, that's amazing. And I was in love, and I just knew that that was me
9:47
So I'm just using this Total Tattoo Coverage little palette. So I've just chose this shade to go in with here
9:53
and I'm just patting this on for now. So it's just about building up the layers
10:01
What's your favourite tattoo? So that's a little heart that my mum basically made a load of teddy bears
10:07
for all of her friends and family and stuff before she passed. Well, it's with you forever now
10:11
Exactly. So how come you've chose the transformation today as a reason
10:15
It's what I think my dad would have really liked to have seen. I was close to my dad
10:20
Like, we had a good childhood. I had a lot of love for my dad
10:24
I had a good relationship with him. My dad's always strongly disliked my tattoos
10:29
Always told me that tattoos are for criminals, but that's never stopped me
10:35
So much to the point that he's tried to bribe me to not get any more. My dad passed away in November 2023
10:42
Obviously, it was sad when it happened and everything. I remember being in the hospital with him as well and showing him some of the tattoos I'd had done on the sides of my head
10:52
And he just kept like stroking my head because he just thought it felt really funny
10:56
And that was quite sweet. So I think he was quite proud of me for that one. So I'm just going to go in with HMB Cosmetics Concealer
11:02
So I like to pop a bit on the back of my hand just to warm the products up, just creating a base for the eyes
11:08
This is my very well-loved palette from P.L.E.S. It's called Wrap It Up
11:12
And I absolutely love this as well because it's perfect for bronzing and you know you've got a nice range of skin tones
11:18
It's definitely a staple in my kit. I do get quite a few strangers saying, don't get any more on your face, look like a thug
11:24
There was an instance when I went on holiday and they wouldn't let me into a building because of how I looked
11:29
They just made me feel more adamant that I was just going to do what I wanted
11:33
Peer pressure doesn't work on me. So they just made me more adamant to just do what I wanted and prove people wrong
11:42
So I'm just going to use this P.Louise eyebrow pencil and this is in the shade Espresso I
11:51
think so it's like a nice dark kind of shade so we're just going to fill them in ever so slightly
11:56
So who are you actually revealing the look to today? Two of my friends, Bam and Elise
12:02
Neither of them really remembers what I look like without all the tattoos so it's going
12:07
to be a big shock for them. Yeah, I think the pink glossy lips complete the look
12:12
Okay Alex, so your transformation's all complete. Are you ready to see yourself? Yep
12:18
How are you feeling? Yeah, nervous. Three, two, one. Oh God
12:35
How do you feel? I look like my sister, to be fair. I actually generally think I look a lot like my sister
12:41
Oh god, the legs are weird, isn't it? Oh, it's weird! Do you literally feel like a Barbie
12:51
They're just having absolutely no tattoos whatsoever or anything. I'm not a fan of the dress or the shoes
12:58
Yeah, I don't hate the hair. I think I could even get used to the top half being no tattoos
13:04
but for some reason the bottom half, I'm like, nope, the tattoos need to come back
13:08
How do you think your dad would feel seeing you like this? I think he'd have absolutely loved it, to be fair
13:12
I think he'd have cried some happy tears. I definitely think he'd have been like
13:17
oh, you look really pretty. So I think he'd have absolutely loved it
13:21
Gonna go meet the girls in a bit. And I'm expecting some screams
13:26
They're not gonna be prepared for this. I've never seen a dress in a way
13:30
Other than like, you know, you've strakkies and a hoodie, but even then it's black. It's always had some form of alternative influence
13:36
rather than just being very normy. It's a perfecter
14:09
He looks so beautiful, you're so pretty. How are you? I know YouTube, but I taste it
14:17
but it looks really nice at the same time. Yeah. So I went into Love Island and came out like this
14:24
I love the red though, the red looks higher. The red looks higher. I don't mind the color
14:28
I don't mind the color that I don't like. I like the sleeves though. I like the sleeves
14:32
I love the sleeves. It's made me realize that maybe I can do slightly
14:36
I don't have to do the massive eyeliner all the time. Yeah. The hair, I'm not gonna..
14:41
The hair really suits you, but it's definitely not you. I would like to get my tattoos back now, thank you
14:47
You look like someone's hot mom. I don't know how I feel about that
14:53
It giving accepted wives like you met a really handsome rich man and he just like doing your lobotomy and then maybe it a perfect bar with your wife I prefer what you liked because it you I think this looks gorgeous
15:05
Oh you're a better friend than me. I want her back. Thank you. You can hide your toe
15:11
I think everyone's reactions were as exactly as I expected. I was 100% expecting a lot of screaming and shouting and swearing
15:21
and I think that is exactly what I got. I think my dad would have cried. Genuinely think he would have cried
15:26
My buddies. I know he would have been really happy. He'd have definitely said that
15:30
oh, you look really pretty, darling. I know he would have given me a big massive hug. So he would have loved this
15:41
Oh, God. In eighth place is Gabby, the zombie doll
15:52
She made her mum's wish come true by stripping the dark style and going hyper-feminine
15:58
I love anything dark and gory. The main things that make my look are definitely the white base, my contour, because it makes it more of that dead look
16:11
I like to take inspiration from zombies and fairies and cottagecore. If I could summarize my look in a few words, it would be gothic, mystical, and probably vintage
16:23
I do my style for me, not for anybody else. I like my look
16:29
I don't like it. I'm sorry. You're covering all your beautiful face because you were a princess when you were little, remember
16:39
I know, yes, I did. She was always a princess. So how did you feel when I first started dressing like this? Bad
16:46
Like, oh, that's not a good question to ask. Oh, sorry. We just, we've been through a lot
16:57
I know, I know we have. She's beautiful and she should show it
17:04
but like this, she doesn't. This is my idea of beauty. This is how I feel beautiful
17:11
Can you please change your look for the gathering that we have tonight, please
17:16
like tone it down, would that be okay? Please. Victoria, hi. Come on in
17:27
Hi, thank you so much. Today I'm going for a hyper feminine Barbie doll look
17:34
It's just very pinky, glowy, very feminine and soft. I think the challenge is gonna be to find like a really good
17:44
good balance between soft and something a little more elevated. Okay, Gabby, I'm ready. Let's do this
17:50
Hey, how do you feel? Maybe like a little bit of nerves just to see what it'll look like at the end, but overall
17:55
it's mostly excitement. Ever since I was little, I've always loved like dark and like kind of gothic things
18:01
but as I grew up, I would be told by my family that that was wrong and that it would look bad
18:06
Just let me know if I'm running you. No problem. Go for it. I'm very aggressive with my face
18:10
Okay. Anytime we would walk past some kind of alternative person, they would point them out and be like
18:16
they look horrible. You should never look like that. So I would kind of just push that side of
18:21
me away. As I grew up, I kind of wanted to rebel against my family. So I started to do it anyways
18:29
And it's my face. I can do what I want with my face. This is the Dior highlighter palette
18:37
Just to highlight her eyes, add a little bit of shimmer. I love this shimmer because it's a lighter grain and it's not too heavy on the eye
18:48
These are Lily Lashes in Style Milan. I use them only on the outer corner of her eyes
18:55
I love them because they're a bit wispier and it kind of just gives the eye a little more dimension
19:02
I do definitely get judged on the way that I look and I dress. I've heard people snickering and laughing to each other
19:09
and I will turn around and I'll see them pointing at me. I've had some girls fully just scream
19:15
just see me and just scream at the top of their lungs, like just scream bloody murder. I've been at the mall before
19:20
and a group of boys would like bark at me. Families are like mothers with their kids
19:23
like, oh, like, don't look at that. These people can say whatever they want about me. I'm still going to look exactly the way I look
19:29
This is the Charlotte Tilbury press powder in the color Fair. I just love it because it really blurs your pores
19:41
So what made you decide to do this? What's the occasion? So my mom doesn't really like my zombie doll-like look
19:49
So we're having this family gathering and I'm going to dress up the way that she wishes I would look
19:58
This is the one size blush in Attention Seeker. I love it because it's super bright so whenever I want to go for a really girly look this is
20:09
definitely one of my go-tos okay we're all done let's get you in the outfit
20:14
are you ready I'm ready okay one two three
20:26
oh my god oh my god oh my god Oh my god
20:38
I look like someone's mom. Oh my god. Wow. I'm a little like, I had a loss of words right now
20:46
This wig is not what I was expecting, what I looked like
20:50
Oh my god. I feel like a completely different person. Like I feel like if you took a picture of me now
20:55
and then showed it to me in six months, I'd be like, who is that
21:00
Oh my god. You did a really good job with the makeup, though. I do like the blush
21:04
The blush is very pretty. But like, this hair, I can see why
21:11
people never told me to go blonde. I am baffled. I am like completely blown away
21:17
I just feel like butterflies in my stomach and like I'm getting goosebumps. Like I feel so like, oh my god
21:22
I think my family is gonna react pretty shocked, pretty, they're gonna laugh for sure
21:29
I don't like a zombie look. I wish she could dress differently, personally
21:33
Oh, I've always liked the different looks. I get it, and I have no problems with it
21:38
I really don't mind it at all. It can look pretty cool sometimes
21:41
It's honestly really cool. Yeah. I love it. Oh my God
21:53
Oh my Jesus. Oh my Jesus. Jesus, oh my Lord. Not the blonde for sure
22:02
Not the blonde. Oh my god. I have never seen you blonde ever in your life
22:13
Oh my god. I'm so emotional. I'm always emotional. She looks like the way she used to before
22:23
I could see her face. And it looks nice I told her I like I not telling her to get rid of all her black and everything but just to add a bit of color It very different The pink the pink really popped The blonde hair yeah It is nice to see her face
22:40
I didn't even know that was the same person. And I had to like really focus and look and be like, that's my sister
22:49
I don't want her dressed this way every day. Yeah, just be herself
22:53
It's nice to see her without that humongous pain in her nose
22:59
The septum, my septum. But she has to be herself, and I respect that
23:04
So what do you think of everyone's reactions? I definitely didn't expect my mom to get emotional, so that kind of hit my heart a little bit
23:13
I definitely was very, very happy, and I was very excited to see everyone react to this whole new me
23:20
actually hearing positive comments from my mom on my appearance was kind of nice. Genuinely really
23:25
did enjoy this experience. I had a lot of fun channeling what I guess six-year-old me would
23:31
have liked to see me in the future but I see myself like this now that I'm in the future and I go
23:37
absolutely not. In seventh place is Anika. Her best friend and mom pushed her to ditch the homeless
23:46
chic style in hopes to help her find the confidence she always desired. I would describe my look as
23:53
athletic, modest, and simple. My look is comfort over everything. If I'm not comfortable in a look
24:00
then I normally don't wear it. I kind of just throw on whatever I can and get out of bed and
24:07
go to classes. Today, I'm letting my... Angus! Today, I'm letting my mom and my best friend
24:13
transform my style like they've always wanted. My mom and my best friend, Kaylin
24:19
are definitely fed up with how I look. The words that Kaylin uses is homeless chic
24:26
So Annika's problem right now, she's looking around at the girls that have the homeless chic going on
24:31
If she put a little bit of effort on, like, Sunday night, she would be able to still wear, like
24:36
athletic clothes to class if she wanted to. Like, no one says you need to put a prom dress on to go to class
24:40
I know, but she just always looks kind of like an unnamed band. I love her and she's got a cute figure
24:47
and you know. She has cute hair. I love everything. It's just a little
24:51
tiny bit of a tweak and some effort. Hey Annika. Hey Caleb. Hey baby
24:56
Hey mama. We are going to have so much fun transforming you. Mom
25:04
It's going to be perfect. I think you need it. My mom is not happy with my look
25:08
and so she's going to be picking out what I wear and how I look for the rest of the day
25:15
Let's go shopping! Yes! I'm so scared. Drawing attention to myself is scary
25:23
I don't dress up that often because I don't want people to look at me, even if it's in
25:29
a good way, because I'm scared they're going to see the bad parts too. Hello
25:37
Hi! How are you? Good. For Annika, we're gonna do a soft look
25:43
Just kind of like grabbing her features, emphasizing her cheekbones. For her hair, we're giving her Hollywood ways, give her some volume
25:53
We're gonna go ahead and start off with the hydration first. I'm actually using this brand, IT
26:01
This is like for all kinds of skin. Just having the moisturizer on my face, it genuinely feels really nice, really soothing
26:10
really calm. And so I'm feeling a lot less nervous than I did before
26:15
but I guess we'll have to see once the layers start adding up
26:20
Since I was about 13 years old, my confidence has been at a really low point and that is often
26:29
reflected in the way that I look. I would like to elevate my look a little bit sometimes
26:35
um, be able to, you know, feel confident in my own skin. Sometimes even if you just put a little
26:42
bit of lipstick and you're just not used to on the daily wearing lipstick, it kind of uplifts you a
26:48
little bit. Are you nervous, excited, a little bit of a... I've never done anything like this before
27:01
and so I'm as nervous as I am I know I'm gonna love it. That is assuming that my mom and my best
27:09
friend and her mom picked out clothes that I actually like. All right, are you ready? Let's do this
27:18
What about this? No. No? Hard pass. Hard pass? That's what hard pass
27:25
Okay. Oh my gosh, it's like baby in Dirty Dancing. I know. It's classy
27:34
A little leg. Where's the rest of them? Okay, and this is the last part
27:48
This is Maybelline. It's just very high defined. Okay then. Are you ready for the dress
28:03
Ready? Let's do this. 3, 2, 1. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh, I feel like a movie star. What the heck
28:18
I love it so much. I've never seen my eyes like that before
28:29
What the heck? Dude, the hair is like... Caitlin has tried to do this hair on me so many times
28:38
and she hasn't been able to do it. Oh my gosh. How do you think they're going to react
28:45
Oh, I'm not going to lie. I'm expecting some tears to be shed
28:49
Yeah, I think they're going to love it. I'm so excited. I hope she is so happy with the look
28:56
I hope she exudes confidence. I hope she enjoys everything about this
29:02
I think she's going to see that dress and love it. It's so Barbie
29:06
I hope she'll be confident. That's what I want for my girl. I'm hoping that we see a really fabulous version of Annika that's still herself
29:13
Yeah, she can take the things that she's learned and apply them to class in everyday life
29:19
Absolutely. All right. I'm excited Hair, your makeup, the whole thing is gorgeous
30:03
Everything about it is just so phenomenal. And you're always gorgeous. But how do you feel
30:08
Yeah. Oh my gosh, I feel like I can do anything at this point. Yay
30:13
Yes, that's what you're supposed to feel like, hun. You can do anything
30:17
She is so beautiful inside and out. I'm so pleased, and I think this will help her with her confidence so much
30:25
I think that the inner beauty that she has is now on the exterior
30:30
Yeah. I love it. Right? Mom and Kaelin didn't just do a good job
30:34
They did a fantastic job. Oh, my gosh. I feel more confident in myself than I ever have been
30:40
Mom, Kaelin, Trisha, you guys are the greatest people I have in my life
30:45
and always make me feel so much better about myself. And I want to say thank you for giving me the confidence that I didn't know I had
30:53
I'm so grateful to you guys. Oh, don't be silly. Bring it in. Bring it in
30:57
Yay! I love you. At the beginning of this whole day, I was so scared to go out in public
31:05
and have people look at me the way I am right now
31:10
But I let them stare because I feel good. I feel like this entire experience isn't just transforming me for one day
31:19
I think it's transforming me for life. In sixth place, Barbie. She's swept out of her pink comfort zone and into a tomboy look
31:31
I'm a Barbie doll babe. My cars are pink. My clothes are pink
31:38
And my room is pink. My name is Barbie. I'm an online content creator, but I'm also a real-life Barbie doll
31:47
This is my room. This is where all the magic happens. This is my bed
31:52
This is where I get all of my beauty rest because you need it, duh. This is my amazing, beautiful vanity
31:59
It's all pink. This is where I sit and get glammed up and do my makeup and tell myself how pretty I am
32:06
I would describe my style as hyper-feminine, super pink. I really just express myself and my femininity through my clothes
32:15
I love this dress because it's really hyper-feminine. It's so cute. It's a little baby doll dress with pink fur
32:22
are like such a classic pick for me. I really love, obviously, like the velour jackets
32:28
and the tracksuits that are a million on here because they're my go-to
32:33
My bags are here too because I like to have options, like you need them, obviously
32:39
Everything has to be pink, and if it's not pink, it should be rhinestone, blinged out, very, very extra
32:45
If I could describe my look in one word, it would be Barbie-licious
32:49
And Barbie really just doesn't care what anybody thinks. She dresses how she wants, and she really just makes the most out of life
32:56
so that's really inspiring to me with my fashion looks. So a style that I truly do appreciate and kind of want to dive into
33:03
but have been nervous is more of the masculine type of style
33:08
I see a lot of girls rocking it, and I get so inspired by it
33:12
but I just get nervous to try stuff like that because it's so opposite of my look right now
33:17
What's happening today is I'm being transformed from a real life Barbie doll into more of
33:25
a tomboy street wear type look. Something very new for me. I've been excited to see what's in here
33:33
OMG, a beanie. Oh my gosh. See, we're going with the baggie
33:39
Oh my gosh. The t-shirt and the long sleeve underneath. Wow. It seems very big too
33:47
Oh, they're so like, basic. This is gonna be very interesting. So we're gonna go back to my roots, literally
34:00
Wow, that is very from what I would normally wear. I don't think I've ever even put on
34:06
like the cargo pants type thing. So, we'll go with it. We'll see how this works out
34:14
Hi. Hi. It's so nice to meet you. I'm so excited. You look like this parasol
34:22
Oh, thank you. I'm all ready for you. I'm ready too. I decided to take part in the transformation today because I really want to try new things
34:36
and really show everybody a different side of me. We're going for a really toned down look
34:42
This look compared to her normal look is going to be like night and day
34:46
We're gonna completely change it up. So are you excited? I'm really excited because I'm usually like so girly and it's gonna be such a different thing for me to not be girly
34:59
How long have you been like doing content for and all that
35:04
It's been about two years now, which is crazy to like think about
35:10
I would describe myself as an influencer or a content creator I really want to make content and make a change at the same time
35:17
Yeah, you get to do what you love. Uh-huh. It's so much fun to just get glam
35:22
You have no idea what I'm going to do. Mm-mm. No. For the makeup, I have no idea
35:27
I'm very interested for this. Feels good? It does. I already feel a little bit of different, like, energy about myself
35:39
The makeup is going good. It's definitely something I can tell. She's feeling a little out of her comfort zone right now
35:48
So that means I'm doing a good job. I'm excited to see everything all come together
35:55
Especially when we put the wig on because the wig is just going to be the thing
35:58
that like ties the whole look together. All right, makeup's done. Time to get changed
36:11
Have you guys always lived here? We have. I've lived in this house my whole life. Oh
36:19
My mom and my sister, they're my most favorite people ever. They are exactly like me
36:24
I would say that my mom and my sister have super early 2000s pink mean girls
36:30
My mom gets compared to Regina George's mom all the time because you can always catch her in a pink floor track suit
36:38
We all just adore pink so much. It's a big part of our whole lives
36:46
Oh my gosh. He was the skater boy. Yeah. Oh my gosh
36:58
I'm feeling so anxious to see it. Are you ready? Mm-hmm. Yes
37:10
I kind of love it
37:20
This is like the masculine side like physically that I try to tell people I have in me but nobody believes You so different I feel confident Super cute Thanks I do feel like I feel confidence in a different way Yeah
37:35
I love it. Actually, I'm obsessed. I'm revealing my look to my mom and my sister
37:43
They're super hyper feminine and ultra pink too. So it'll be a big shock to everybody
37:48
It'll be exciting to see her in something different. Yeah. I love it
37:59
Oh my God, you look so cute! I love the looks. You look great
38:06
Wow, you should look like this one off. I like it a lot
38:10
I love the hair. It feels great to see her in a completely different look
38:17
I love her brunette hair. I always have. And so it's crazy just to see her like that again
38:22
I like that again, I love it honestly. I like seeing her in her pink
38:27
but this is awesome too, she does look great. Yeah. I thought my mom and sister's reaction was perfect
38:34
It's a little more extreme than I thought, honestly. This made me appreciate my original look more
38:41
but it also made me think about how much work I put into it
38:45
and how much I could soften it a little, because this look is very, very natural and I'm digging it
38:51
I've learned that I am comfortable expressing my style in different ways
38:56
I don't have to wear only pink to feel, like, super confident
39:00
So I've just really enjoyed showing everybody a different side of me
39:06
In this place, Holly, who proudly owns her title as a trashy blonde bombshell
39:11
she went from trashy to elegant glam and surprised her boyfriend for their date
39:17
Today I'm meeting Holly's self-proclaimed trashy blonde bombshell, and I'm going to be doing a transformation for a more elegant look to surprise her boyfriend Reuben
39:27
Reuben has confessed more than once he gets really uncomfortable due to all the negativity and horrible comments that they get when they're out together
39:35
So Holly and Reuben are heading out for a date night tonight but little does Reuben know I've got a massive surprise planned here
39:41
OK, let's go meet Holly. My name is Holly. I'm a trashy blonde bombshell
39:47
I'd say the key elements of my look is lots of big hoops, everything pink, short skirts, just very glittery pink and feminine
39:57
I just love looking as hot as possible. I really, really love to turn heads with my sexy styles and all of my short skirts and dresses
40:08
Hi, Holly. How are you? Hi, Holly. Lovely to meet you. Lovely to meet you too
40:12
How are you feeling about today? Oh, nervous. Yes. Very excited. It's going to be good fun, though
40:17
Oh, definitely. I can't wait. Great. Okay, let's go. Described your look as trashy. What does that mean
40:24
Very promiscuous, I'd say. Not afraid to be out there. Okay. The skirts must be short and the heels must be long
40:31
Let's have a look. Wow. Look at those. Very big and very thin
40:38
That's huge. That's crazy. So your boyfriend, tell me who he is, what's his name
40:47
His name's Ruben, I met him on a date in a... Okay
40:51
We've been together about nine months now Okay, what does he think about your whole look
40:55
He really likes it but sometimes the judgement can make him very awkward and anxious Yeah
41:01
I usually get people following me around Really? Saying insults and stuff
41:06
I've had things thrown at me before Have you? For how I dress and that Yeah, that's awful. So tell me what kind of transformation do you want today
41:14
I'd like to try a really classy and elegant look. Me and my boyfriend are going for a date night and I'd like to try a new style for it
41:23
My boyfriend's so good to me and it'd be really nice to do something for him for a change
41:28
Alright then Holly, I've got everything I need now so I'm just gonna go and get set up and then I'll give you a shout when I'm ready
41:33
Okay, I'll see you. Alright, I'll see you in a minute. Holly's got an amazing facial structure so I'm really excited to get my hands on her
41:42
Okay Holly I'm ready for you now. Wow I'm so excited. Me too, it's gonna be good
41:47
So I'm just gonna take your makeup off now. There we go
41:53
This is some micellar water, I just want you to start taking off your eye makeup for me
41:58
So the key elements of a classy look will be elegant makeup, softer colours, more blended
42:05
demure and pared down. I'm using Fenty Beauty foundation on you. This is soft matte base
42:16
two shades. I'm just doing Holly's concealer, just her under eye, just to cover any sort
42:27
of dark circles, discoloration. So I'm going to be doing Holly's eyebrows now. This is
42:32
a microblading markup pencil, mapping pencil. So I like to use these to create hair strokes
42:39
This is a bronze eyeshadow palette by Natasha Denona. So I'm going for like a bronze shade
42:46
Okay Holly, that's your makeup done. So you can go and get dressed now
43:02
I'm going to use this round there. Beautiful, Bruna. Thank you. Spunning
43:18
How are you feeling, Holly? A little bit scared, but I'm really quite excited
43:23
You ready to see yourself? Yeah. Yeah? OK. Three, two, one. Oh, wow
43:32
Oh, it's so different. Oh, God, I looked like me when I was little a bit
43:40
Wow. Wow, the makeup looks amazing. I actually quite really like it. Yeah
43:47
I actually really like it. You look gorgeous. Yeah. You look really beautiful as well. Oh, wow
43:52
I don't think I'd suit this hair again. It actually looks really good. Is that close to your natural colour
43:57
Very close, yeah. Wow, oh, my God. I can't believe that. You still look sexy. You still look beautiful
44:03
I can't stop looking at him now. You look gorgeous. Oh, wow
44:08
It barely even looks like me anymore. That's amazing. Wow. So what we did today, Holly
44:14
obviously we took off all your makeup, all the glitter, the big lashes
44:19
and we've still gone for quite a strong look around the eyes, like a nice smoky look
44:23
but just different kind of tones, browns, bronzes, golds. And then, obviously, we've gone back to your natural colour here
44:30
We've added a nice brunette wavy wig. And then obviously we've covered some of your tattoos
44:35
and you've got your gorgeous outfit and shoes. So we're approaching the bar now
44:41
How are you feeling? I'm really, really nervous. But I'm super excited
44:45
So what kind of reaction do you think he's going to give you? I think he's going to be quite shocked
44:50
Yeah, let's hope he recognises me. So I want you to go in there confident knock his socks off and I see you after All Alright You can do it girl You can do it
45:12
Oh my god! What do you think? You look very pretty, very different
45:19
Oh my god. Very gorgeous. Don't you like it? I think I like you the other way to be fair. Yeah
45:29
I like your blonde hair more. Your brown hair not doing it. No, not your natural hair, no
45:34
Still look gorgeous though. It changes your face, it looks different, especially with fringes
45:40
I've never seen you with a fringe before. I really like the makeup and I definitely think I'm going to wear the dress again
45:45
The dress does look nice. I'm between yes and no on the hairline
45:49
I'm not sure, I might do it occasionally. Not too sure on the hair, but the dress looks amazing
45:53
And same with the heels. The heels look lovely. Do you prefer the trashy or the classy
45:58
Definitely the trashy. Yeah. Definitely. Twirl. Still got your gorgeous body. Just with no tattoos
46:12
So, how was it? It's really good. Yeah? What was his reaction like
46:17
I think he liked it a bit but I think he prefers my old look
46:22
I'm quite surprised that I can look good with my natural hair colour and that I look quite good
46:26
even when being modest to be honest it's a different kind of sexy isn't it
46:31
so tell me the question that I've been dying to know are you going to leave the trashy look behind
46:37
or are you going to stay with the classy look I think the classy
46:41
might come out at special occasions but for now I think I'm going to stick to my trashy look
46:46
Well, you look amazing, but your day is waiting for you, so get back over there and enjoy yourself
46:51
Thank you. In fourth place, Creepy Doll Extreme. She was having a tough time deciding between walking down the aisle as a creepy doll or going for a traditional bridal look
47:08
So she tried out a classic star to see what her fiancé thought
47:12
So this is my closet. I've got a few dresses in here. This kind of looks a little brightish, but also a little... ...funeral
47:19
I really got my style mostly from bad guys, I would say. I really loved how villains looked
47:25
I then got into the emo scene style, then later discovered drag
47:29
Also Lolita, I meshed it all together into one. I do wear quite a bit of corsets
47:35
My look is not put together without a corset. What are key elements of build-up role
47:41
I would say that it's the dragged-out eye makeup. to give the illusion of a bigger eye
47:46
My makeup looks can take anywhere from three hours to 12 hours
47:51
Also, my contacts, I would definitely say those really both look together
47:55
This one's like my favorite contact, the X contact. It makes me really look like, you know, kind of spooky
48:02
Becoming this extreme paranoid porcelain is really relieving to me in a way
48:07
because I can be who I wanna be. Hey! Hey! You wanna go for a walk
48:14
Yeah, let's go! Let's do it! My fiancé, Jeff, his style is very normal
48:21
Shorts and shirts, we definitely look odd, I'm sure as a couple
48:25
With me all dressed up like this and then him in khakis. We're getting married and I still don't know if I am going to go as a traditional bride
48:36
or if I'm going to be going in my creepy doll aesthetic
48:43
Hello. Hi, I'm Kate. Hi, I'm Paranoia. Nice to meet you. Are you ready to do this
48:48
I'm so ready. Let's do it. Classic bride right now with all the trends is really just glowy, dewy, a little bit of smoke
48:55
but kind of taking people from their everyday to just amplified for camera
49:00
What we're going to do is we're going to start by removing your makeup. Oh, and I like crazy hair
49:04
Yes. Love it. Coming alive. Are you hoping transformation will convince you to go traditional
49:10
Who knows? It could happen. I'm a little nervous about this question
49:15
Your eyes are green. They're kind of a green hazel-y ring, right? Okay, so we'll keep it in the pinky side of things
49:21
because then I'll really bring the green out. This is a Milani go-to beauty and then some Limelife shadows
49:27
They're both just like really creamy and rich. I'm going to start with the vanilla. So when I think of traditional bride
49:32
I think of white dress, hair up done, toned down makeup, definitely
49:37
Definitely not mine. This cream contour by NARS. This one is a little bit dark, but I like using it because I can do it faster
49:45
because I'm not having to put on so many layers. Oh, yeah. Bronze goddess. Yes
49:49
My gosh, you're so gold in me right now. Have you ever been judged by others on the way you look
49:53
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. A lot of people, especially older generations, aren't really keen of my look
50:00
this old lady like came up to me and she's like, why would you do that to yourself? And I'm like
50:05
okay, have a great day. Bye. I'm going to put setting spray on you first because I want to
50:11
have everything set before I start your eyebrows. Okay. At first I shaved off half my eyebrows and
50:17
then I was like, well, what if I don't like me without my eyebrows? And then I did the full way
50:21
and I was like, I look like an alien and I'm glad. Okay. So who is coming over today to take a look
50:27
in this. So my fiance and my fiance's mother. Have they ever seen you like this? They have not seen
50:35
me like this. Oh my gosh. Okay. They've seen me without makeup, but not without piercing. So
50:40
wild. That's going to be great. Jeff's family has been really supportive throughout my whole
50:45
journey and my makeup and everything. Even when I first met Jeff's mom, I had all this makeup on
50:50
and we popped off like right at the beginning. It was great
50:57
Whoa. Okay, you look, you actually look great as a blonde. Oh, really
51:02
Like, okay, girl, like, maybe you just need to be going with platinum or something. Ooh
51:06
I don't know what's happening right now. This is crazy. So let's put your veil on
51:13
I'm really nervous about this transformation. It's gonna help me out with deciding on whether or not
51:18
I wanna be traditional or if I want to look like this. Am I gonna say yes to the dress today
51:26
Okay, are you ready? I'm ready. Oh, whoa, I do look like a different person
51:35
Whoa, who is that? Holy crap
51:46
Oh, and I have eyebrows. I love eyebrows. Oh my God, yes. Wow
51:52
Oh my God. Wow. Can't wait for him to see it. Don't know if my fiance would still want to marry me, looking like Classic Bride
52:00
You're like a totally different person. I am a different person. He's definitely not going to recognize me. Yeah, he's definitely not going to recognize me
52:06
I'm feeling really good about today. I just have a feeling that this is going to be completely different than anything that I'm actually expecting, so I'm quite excited
52:15
I'm feeling very excited and anxious. I've always imagined Jeff marrying Classic Bride
52:22
Also want him to marry who makes him happy Oh my gosh she is so beautiful can i touch her
52:39
oh my god wow i can't believe it
52:51
this is so much more drastic than i thought Yeah. You're beautiful
52:56
Aw, thank you. Thank you. It's incredible. Aw. Oh, my God. I can't
53:02
I never imagined you in a white dress. Aw. Yeah. How do you feel about it
53:06
I was shocked. I was like, whoa, who is that? It's insane
53:10
I was trying to imagine it. Yeah. And this is just totally different. Yeah
53:14
Imagine. Isn't it crazy? It is crazy. It's like your eyes are big and hot
53:19
Yeah, and I have a bigger mouth. Yeah. Isn't that nice? Not in a bad way
53:24
You could notice it more without the piercings. Her beautiful smile. The smile was just raiding
53:29
It was kind of muted by the piercings. I don't get to see that beautiful face enough
53:37
And this proves that. Absolutely. 100%. Their reactions were really priceless. I absolutely loved it
53:45
I did not expect Jeff to react the way he did. I didn't even think he was going to really fully react
53:51
I got one. It made me feel really loved. Like, I can be who I want to be no matter what it is
54:00
For the wedding day, honestly, I would love to see this look on your day
54:05
but ultimately, it's your choice, and we love you for you. I love her no matter what, no matter what her look is
54:13
but I would absolutely marry this version of her, no doubt. I love the classic bride look
54:19
I love you both and I'm looking forward to this wedding day
54:24
That'll be great. I'm excited. I'm actually going to go with the mix
54:33
Mixture of classic and alternative. Awesome. That's wonderful. I like that this evening. Yeah
54:43
In third place is Raccoon. With her signature mohawk and chaotic punk look, she transformed
54:53
into the hyper-feminine daughter her mom always wanted. Hello! Hi, hello, bonjour
55:00
Bonjour. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, Ali. Awesome, I'm Raccoon
55:03
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. My name's Raccoon. I am a punk. I've been described as a cartoon character where I wear
55:12
the same like two outfits all the time. It's either a band shirt with shorts and fishnets
55:17
or my patch pants with a band shirt and my vest. I love studs. I love anything that's
55:24
black and white and monochromatic. Pants, tons of band shirts, even more band shirts
55:28
belts where they usually have hoops of some sort or studs as well as hats because if I
55:34
don't put my hair up I'm always wearing a hat. I also have my skateboard which are kind
55:38
of my pride and joy. I kind of just do whatever I want to do whether it fits into any box or not
55:45
I have a lot of piercings, a lot of tattoos. I skateboard. The generic ideas of no gods
55:50
no masters and anything like that, you are your own person. That's what punk really is to me
55:56
It's a mindset. Have you ever had girly makeup before or? No. Nope. Never. Definitely always been
56:06
black and big black eyes type. I started dressing, I guess alternative
56:10
when I was very young. I stole my mom's makeup, and I always took the big black palette and eyeliner
56:18
and I just started blacking my eyes as much as I could. I think it was grade nine when I started putting up
56:23
my hair into big liberty spikes. Met a friend of mine, and we dated
56:29
and he was the one that introduced me to punk music. I was like, this is awesome, this is how I think
56:34
I love this, this is fast, angry. My mom was mad. She did not like that at all. And I am ready to start by removing everything
56:43
So today I'm transforming from my modified punk look to hyper feminine, something that like my mom
56:51
kind of always wanted me to be. So today she's gonna actually get to see what that would have
56:56
looked like. So first I'm gonna start with eyebrows, then I'm gonna move the eyes, and then I'll be
57:03
doing the cover-ups on your face, the neck, and after the chest
57:08
How much I probably have spent from my mods to my tattoos, it's close to $20,000
57:13
That started with literally my very first tattoo when I think I was like 16
57:18
I think you had to be 16 at that time. I have a big chest piece. My throat's all done
57:22
I have all this blacked out. I kept getting more and more. I kind of stopped counting
57:28
So why'd you decide to do this? It's something my mom always kind of wanted me to look like
57:31
She always wanted me to be like this, like, princess. Yes, as most mothers want
57:37
My mom, she always wanted me to be very girly, very feminine
57:42
She loves bright pink and green and things like that, and that's great
57:47
If you touch a chalkboard and you have that shivery feeling, that's me putting on color
57:53
You know, I want to wear this grungy hoodie that I found that probably hasn't been washed in like three years, you know
57:59
And she was just like, that's disgusting. We had definitely some battles, a lot of battles about how I look or what I was doing
58:11
So right now I'm just focusing on the skin and focus on covering up the tattoos
58:16
She's going to be glammed up a bit. I already did a little bit of shimmer on her eyes
58:19
I'm going to give her some color on her lips. When you think of hyper feminine, I think I guess like, I don't even know
58:25
Super girly. Super girly, I don't know. Not what I am. I think like heels, I think long hair, maybe like I think of like business people mixed with Barbie
58:40
Dermablend is known for their heavy coverage and so this is the product I'm using to cover her neck tattoos
58:49
as well as concealer, colored concealer, to really cut the color. absolutely nervous for today. I'm scared of how my face is going to look. How is my hair
59:00
going to be? Am I going to have brown hair? Am I going to go through an existential crisis
59:04
at this moment? I have no idea. I'm adding a second layer. This color concealer I'm using
59:08
is from NARS, the one I used before, the red, that's to cut the black. Now it's like a gray
59:14
so I'm using a lighter concealer. I'm really, really nervous about seeing myself without
59:19
tattoos. I think that's gonna be the biggest shock for me and also my mother
59:23
Are you scared she'll prefer the feminine look? Well it doesn't matter she prefers it because she ain't gonna get that
59:32
Okay, and I'm done. Into the wig. And the final outfit. So you're ready to see yourself? Yep, I guess so
59:46
Okay. What? What? Wow
1:00:06
It's blonde and brown and color and... Sorry, I'm having a moment, holy f***
1:00:10
Yeah, also the fact that I have no, like, tattoos. Oh my god
1:00:16
It's weird. It's kinda freaking me out. A lot. Oh my god, I don't know
1:00:24
She's a loud person, so I don't know what's gonna happen. She might freak out a little bit, so we'll see
1:00:28
but so we'll see. Let's show her mom. Her punk style is her
1:00:32
I mean, I'm accustomed to it. She's an adult, so she gets to choose whatever she wants to do
1:00:37
I try to kind of sway her a bit into not being too different
1:00:43
You know, there was nothing I could do about it. She was going to do it no matter what. I am nervous
1:00:47
I've been nervous since she wanted me to come down, wondering what it was going to be
1:00:52
You just never know what's going to happen. She likes to shock people. Ready, mama
1:00:57
Okay. All right, one, two, three. Holy s**t
1:01:08
Wow. Wow, you look nice, honey. A whole lot different, that's for sure
1:01:16
Holy smokes. Yeah. Wow. I can't remember you without tattoos. That's how I feel
1:01:24
I was like, I haven't seen myself in tattoos like ever. Wow
1:01:29
You look totally different. I know, right? Her smile's the same. But wow. Yeah
1:01:39
You good? Yeah, I'm good. Yeah, you good? Yeah, you good? Yeah, I'm good
1:01:44
This will be good. She'll be like, what the f**k? So, do you prefer this look or her normal look
1:01:54
Be truthful. I don't know. I mean, this is nice, but I know it just isn't her and her personality
1:02:00
I mean, it's different, but just knowing my daughter, I don't think it is her
1:02:13
Wow. I agree. Yeah. It's, uh... It's, uh... It's, uh... Different
1:02:24
Let's say that. I have no word. Honestly, it's... En français? Even in French
1:02:34
I don't have any words. Honestly, just so weird. Yeah. Yeah, it's not you. It's not yourself. And..
1:02:43
It shows. Would you ever dress like this again? On purpose? No. No
1:02:51
The fact that I'm wearing color already freaks me out at the moment. So I wouldn't choose this to wear on my own
1:02:56
No. Let alone makeup, no. Red lips, no. I have black lips and that's usually it
1:03:05
In second place, the runner-up is Nikki. A creepy, cute mall goth with a standout, attention-grabbing and pretty eccentric style
1:03:15
She honoured her dad's wish by really connecting with her Chinese heritage
1:03:19
I would describe my style as gothic, 2000s, layered and extra. A creepy cute Morgoth is like me
1:03:27
So we've got like the cat ears. Also we've got the really like intricate detailed makeup, the fishnets, the shiny material
1:03:34
very gothic style mixed with like dolly makeup. My parents are very unaccepting of my style, especially my dad
1:03:41
He's just like never accepted it. I've had to like tone down the way I dress when I go and see him
1:03:46
My mom is, she doesn't accept it, but she's quiet about it. like she definitely doesn't approve
1:03:50
What do you think of Nikki's look? I always have concerns how the general public think of her
1:03:56
whether it's going to affect her career, opportunities, and whether I'm comfortable being with her in public
1:04:05
Most of the time, if she wants to go out with me, I have a request to say, okay
1:04:10
just dress normal, all the same. I love her, but I'm a little bit worried
1:04:15
Hey dad, hi mom. Hey my love. Hi. So I know that you really don't like the way you dress
1:04:21
So for our dinner tonight, I'm going to give you a surprise. Okay
1:04:27
So today I'm going to give my parents a transformation of their lifetime
1:04:31
Yeah, embrace my Chinese culture because they just really hate my style. All right, Nikki, you ready to get transformed
1:04:37
I'm so ready. Transform me. Come take a seat Yes So today I will be going for a nice rose lip plummy eyes with quite a porcelain skin tone And we be bringing the blush and creating quite the opposite contrast
1:04:52
to what her ordinary glam is. So we'll just remove your cat ears, little miss kitty cat
1:04:59
And we'll take off your earrings. I think growing up, I had a lot of pressure to fit in and be normal
1:05:07
like you won't be accepted if you stand out at all. My parents are Chinese and they're born and raised in China
1:05:13
I'm Australian, so I was born here. First generation and it's very different upbringings
1:05:18
So I'm just using the Napoleon Purtis Autopilot Radiance Boosting Primer. This will be great to create that glowy base for the foundation
1:05:29
My parents feel strongly against my style because it's against everything like traditional Chinese culture goes for
1:05:35
they just wouldn't understand why I want to dress like this. I often go see my dad for lunch
1:05:40
pretty much every time he's like please can you make sure you dress normal which I hate
1:05:45
and it's going to the point where he's like let's go shopping we'll buy you some like normal clothes
1:05:49
for you to wear before you come see me because I think he just gets like secondhand embarrassment
1:05:54
going out with me. Napoleon Purtis lip service to hydrate the lips. Oh yeah it's good. Have you
1:06:02
ever had any negative attention yeah for sure i've been harassed by like teenagers they'll bark at you
1:06:09
oh at you like oh yeah i'd be like a dog yeah i get judged pretty much every time i go out
1:06:16
especially young teenage boys they'll look at me and they'll go like what the hell like i'll hear
1:06:21
freak i'll hear weirdo worst thing that's happened to me for dressing like this is i was gonna get
1:06:27
my uber and my uber driver like it's just like no and he just drove off i did these comments
1:06:32
Honestly, these comments don't bother me that much anymore. Yet that if I dress differently, I'm going to get viewed differently as well
1:06:40
We're using the Natasha Denona and Patrick Ta palettes. So we're going for quite spring, fresh, plummy spring tones
1:06:49
Very Chinese traditional makeup. I have to get a little hair tie from somewhere
1:07:02
All right, Nikki, we're ready. Are you ready to see your transformation
1:07:07
I think I'm ready. I'm really excited, but also very nervous as well
1:07:16
Three, two, one. Oh, my God. What the hell? Who is that
1:07:25
Actually, who is this? Oh, my gosh. What? How do you feel
1:07:29
I feel like a completely different person like I don't even know who I'm looking at like
1:07:34
it is quite beautiful though you hit the spot on like it's
1:07:39
very Chinese and very elegant but I do not know who that is
1:07:45
you look like a completely different person especially like the hair and the makeup
1:07:49
it's just like completely shocking wow wow like I'm honestly so shook
1:07:58
and the lashes. The eyebrows are really different as well. The lip colour is something
1:08:02
that I wouldn't usually wear. And like, yeah. Just, it's totally insane
1:08:08
I think my parents will be thrilled. They'll be shocked. Absolutely shocked
1:08:14
What are you expecting to see today? I haven't seen her like I'm a normal
1:08:18
in like seven years. So it'll be a big surprise and I'm looking forward to it
1:08:22
and I hope I don't miss it too much. Are you guys excited? Very excited. Nervous? Curious
1:08:30
Are you guys ready to see my transformation? Yes. Wow. Oh my god
1:08:40
So, what do you think? Wow. Is this what you wanted? You look elegant, I look Chinese, I look traditional
1:08:50
What do you guys think? Oh my god. Do you guys like it? I like it so much
1:08:56
What do you think, Dad? You like it a lot? I love it so much
1:09:00
You've never seen me like this before. It is very shocking. The elegant part of you just shows up
1:09:08
Oh, thank you. Oh, yes. So beautiful, my love. Yeah. Oh, my God
1:09:16
I've never seen you like this. My love. Oh, my love. Oh, my love
1:09:22
I glad you guys like it so much So nice Look like a Mulan I feel like Mulan yeah Yes Very elegant
1:09:35
Yes, so beautiful. The dress is really nice. This is what you wanted, guys. I'm embracing my Chinese culture now
1:09:42
Seeing Nikki embracing her culture makes me more connected to her. I'm just so proud, you know
1:09:49
for how she's showing up in the world and now embracing her own culture as well
1:09:56
This is letting me feel more close. More like connected, right? More connected
1:10:00
Yeah, like this is your daughter, right? Yes. What did you think of everyone's reaction
1:10:05
I was really surprised. I did not expect them to react like that much
1:10:09
Like my mom cried. My dad was really happy. It was over the moon. To have my parents finally approve of my clothing
1:10:15
it's honestly really healing. It's something that I've wanted for a long time. I've wanted my mom and dad's approval for a really long time
1:10:21
so it feels really good. What do you guys want to have for dinner? Sushi
1:10:27
Yeah, let's get sushi for sure. This experience has taught me that like
1:10:31
seeing my mom and dad that happy, it's worth it. So I will dress like normal when I go and see them
1:10:37
because it just makes them so happy. Hi, I'm in the restaurant with my family
1:10:43
and my mom is enjoying my new festivities. Thank you so much
1:10:51
In first place is Faye. Her cyber goth style is often criticized by the public. Her mum and boyfriend wish she would just embrace her Vietnamese heritage. As she undergoes a transformation makeover, Faye doesn't know her mum has a big surprise planned
1:11:09
My style is cyber goth with elements of visual K and black metal
1:11:14
If I could summarize my look, I would say post-apocalyptic, haunted doll, scary spirit
1:11:21
I get my inspiration from a lot of horror movies. My goal is to look like a vengeful type of spirit
1:11:28
My boyfriend, Stefan, he's been a really big support to my self-expression
1:11:32
I always think it's beautiful, seeing what she can do with her makeup or her new style, it always is
1:11:38
Interesting to see. Stefan has always wanted me to embrace my culture
1:11:42
So today we're going to turn me into a more modest, traditional Vietnamese girl
1:11:48
I'm so nervous about this transformation and I'm going to need my mom's help to pull this off
1:11:54
May I? I need your help with something. So I've decided that I'm going to leave behind the cyber goth today and I want to embrace our Vietnamese culture
1:12:06
That is so amazing And I have Something that I think is so perfect for you to wear
1:12:16
So today We are going to be doing more of a Soft and natural look for her
1:12:22
It's very subtle You can barely tell if there's any makeup More of the pinks and browns
1:12:27
Instead of using colors No shimmers, nothing too bold Alright girl, if you can
1:12:33
Start taking everything off And then I'll help you remove all your makeup I'm very apprehensive about taking out my piercings
1:12:40
I feel like they are my one thing that I can't step out of the house without
1:12:45
I'm going to use some tools for this. This is an Embryo Elise moisturizer
1:12:52
It's actually a multifunction. It removes the makeup because it has a moisturizer as a primer
1:12:58
When did you start wearing your type of look? For the cyber goth specifically, I started back in the
1:13:07
like maybe 2021 or 2022, but I've always been like goth. It was as young as 12 that I started dressing this way
1:13:16
Going to school and just blacked out eyeliner. I looked a little bit crazy
1:13:21
but I would say that kind of kickstarted me into this unconventional style
1:13:27
I'm going into the primer right now, which is Estee Lauder. and then I'll spray to finish up the skin prep
1:13:33
Do you get judged by the way that you look? I definitely get judged a lot
1:13:37
People will stare in point, take pictures of me. At times, restaurants will have to seat us in a back corner
1:13:44
so that I'm not disrupting any customers. People assuming that I'm not a nice person
1:13:50
for people to say that to me, it does hurt my feelings a bit. So I'm using NARS Foundation
1:13:56
and this is a very light to medium coverage. I'm just using a bit of a bronzer just around her face
1:14:06
I was born and raised here in Texas. My mother is from Vietnam Growing up I knew how to speak Vietnamese but now I at a place where my ability to speak is stunted because of all the prejudice that I faced growing up I think that my Vietnamese identity and my inability to connect with it
1:14:24
definitely has limited my ability to express myself that way. I always felt
1:14:29
like I didn't belong with this group even though it's in my blood
1:14:33
How do you think your mom and boyfriend are going to react to the look
1:14:37
I think they're gonna be very surprised. This is gonna be their first time seeing me
1:14:45
without piercings, without the crazy hair. We're just gonna give her almost like a small blowout
1:14:54
All right, girl, I think we're good. Are you ready? I'm nervous, but yes, I'm ready to see
1:15:01
Three, two, one. Oh my gosh. I look so mature
1:15:16
I do look like my mom. I actually don't hate it. Yeah, how do you feel about your outfit
1:15:22
It's cute. I really like it. It's a very casual kind of style, but it does show my Whitney's roots
1:15:31
Yeah. Yeah. I love what you did with my hair. Yeah. I look a lot more natural
1:15:40
I don't look like I'm going to haunt somebody. I'm excited to see what Stefan and my mom think
1:15:47
Oh my gosh. Do you have any idea of what to expect
1:15:51
No, nothing at all. I mean, it will be a change for sure
1:15:55
I'm open. I'm just ready to have my mind blown. Whoa. Oh no way
1:16:07
Oh my goodness. There's so much color now. Oh my goodness. I don't think I've ever seen your cheeks that red before
1:16:15
Oh my gosh. We're like two totally different, two different styles now
1:16:20
Do you like it? Yes. Yeah, I love it. So cute. It looks awesome
1:16:25
You look Asian now. I didn't expect it at all, but no, it looks beautiful
1:16:31
Totally different. two people are different. It seems like I have two daughters. It's so, so beautiful
1:16:42
It made me feel really good to see them surprised. I could tell they loved it. That made me even
1:16:47
more happier. I think this is helping me kind of tackle the initial issues where I kind of view
1:16:53
myself as, you know, this is not, you know, where I belong. But now I see that I, you know, belong
1:16:58
here and it makes me want to immerse myself more in the culture and put forth more effort
1:17:04
into learning the language. I have something surprise for you too. Another surprise? Yes
1:17:11
In here, very tiny. Oh, it's a J Buddha. There you go. And the earring
1:17:28
This is more close to our culture. So I'd love to see you more in this outfit too
1:17:37
Yeah, I'll try. Wow, look at that. So much color. Oh, she's so..
1:17:45
The surprise my mom gave me, you know, it's very unexpected. But, you know, jade, it holds a lot of meaning in Vietnamese culture
1:17:56
So to have received this from my mother, I think it meant a lot to me just as much as it meant a lot to her
1:18:04
And I will be treasuring these pieces and maybe trying to incorporate them into my future looks
1:18:10
