I would describe my style as Goblin Core Punk with a little bit of 2000s scene kid
0:06
My style is constantly evolving. You do get kind of weird looks when you wear elf ears out in public, but I don't really care
0:14
Today I'm going from 2000s emo to modern glam. No. No, this is not something I would wear
0:22
You're actually the first person to ever do my makeup. Are you ready? Yes
0:26
Oh, that's weird. I will be revealing the look to my mum and my best friend
0:34
Oh my god! Do you know who that is, Ripley? Who's that? I've probably made somewhere near 250 designs over the past three years making stuff like this
0:47
My favourite collections to do are my Halloween collections. I just love anything Halloween, anything spooky
0:52
My name is Kit, I'm 24 years old and I am a self-employed jewellery business owner
1:00
It's plastic, it's kind of tacky, it's bright coloured. My goal with my business is to empower others to express themselves, be creative and not
1:11
really care what other people think. I would probably describe my style as goblin core punk with a little bit of 2000 scene kid
1:21
emo in there and a little bit of skaterpunk as well. I'm heavily inspired by the 2000s
1:27
scene kid culture now, that's a little bit more than what I used to be. The key elements
1:33
of my makeup look are probably my contact lenses because it makes such a drastic change
1:38
to how I look. Black lipstick, never really thought that I would ever be a black lipstick
1:43
person but it's become such an iconic part of my look. I spent so long doing my eyeliner
1:50
to make it sharp and perfect and then like I'll dab random little dots and white marks and things everywhere
1:59
Today a makeup artist is coming to transform me from my 2000s emo goblin punk look to a
2:06
modern glam look and I anxious about it but I also excited to see how I look at the end of it I will be revealing the look to my mum and to my best friend CJ who I known since I was about 12 or 13
2:21
I think my mum will probably really like whatever this look is. I think she'll like it much more than CJ will
2:26
I guess I'd like the idea of maybe looking glamorous and you know wearing trending clothes
2:33
I don't think it would ever suit me but I'd like to kind of see what I'd look like in that
2:37
There's been parcels sitting in my house for the past week and I've been dying to open them
2:47
Let's have a look at these. I don't like the strappiness at the top, but the colour is good. I like the colour. I feel like the colour matches my hair
3:00
Oh, I see gold. I don't really like gold jewellery that much
3:04
You know, I like that it's a layered necklace because I wear lots of necklaces myself
3:08
I layer my own necklaces. So it's something I would maybe style, but just in gold
3:14
Oh, it's a wig. I'm going back to my natural colour. Apparently
3:22
Yeah, it's a brown wig. Oh. No. No, this is not something I would wear
3:34
it's not a dress it's a pantsuit it looks like a parachute i'm gonna look like a christmas tree
3:42
gold and green no hi hi hi hi i'm kit i'm joelie
3:56
have you done makeup for a while yeah i've been doing 12 years now
4:01
What about yourself? How long have you been doing makeup for? I probably started doing makeup when I was about 13
4:07
I really only started getting good at doing it when... like two years ago
4:12
You're so talented. Thank you. Every time I sit down to do my makeup, it gets more and more expressive
4:18
My style is constantly evolving. It definitely gone from being quite basic alternative to a very extreme level of alternative at least to some people I don think it extreme I think it pretty normal
4:33
You do get kind of weird looks when you wear elf ears out in public, but I don't really care because I like the way that they look and I like the way that they go with the rest of my style
4:42
So what made you go for this kind of style and look? I've always kind of been alternative
4:47
The support of the online community has made me just come out of my shell more
4:52
I do get quite a lot of people staring at me. I've had people make comments under their breath or laugh at me
4:58
But it completely contrasts to the support that I've had online for the way that I look
5:03
So being able to express who I am fully online has led to me finding a community of people
5:09
that I really identify with and associate with. Do you find it relaxing someone else doing your makeup or do you prefer just doing your
5:21
own makeup? You're actually the first person to ever do my makeup. Really
5:25
I've never had my makeup done before. I think Kit's got such a beautiful skin
5:32
So I'm putting some shimmer and getting her skin looking more glowy
5:38
I think it's going really well and her eyes are just popping already and that's not me
5:43
even finished yet. I'm interested to see what you think when you see it
5:52
Right Kit, that's your hair and makeup done. Time for you to get dressed
6:00
I'm playing with my fingers and I normally don't do that unless I'm anxious about something
6:05
So, yeah, I really just want to see what I look like
6:10
Are you ready? I feel like Fiona from Shrek
6:23
Oh, that's weird. I think it makes me look kind of taller
6:29
It's too fancy for me. Yeah. Do you like the shoes? I think if they weren so blocky I like them a wee bit more I like the platform but they not quite my kind of platform I think you look stunning I kind of feel like I doing red carpet or something
6:47
Not what I would wear but yeah, red carpet. Oh my god
6:55
I think my mum will like the wig and my mum will really like the makeup. I think CJ is going to
7:01
hate it. I really don't think she's gonna like any of it
7:06
She's always been quite alternative but in the last two years she's kinda found her way
7:10
with makeup a lot more. I think I'm more confident. Yeah, she's definitely more herself
7:21
Oh my god! You look like the Disney princess now. I thought I looked like Fiona from Shrek
7:30
I see it. Yeah. You look so tall. What do you think of it
7:35
Very normal. Very normal, yeah. It's giving normcore. I'm on the wrong side of TikTok now
7:41
I like the green on you. Do you? Yeah. Yeah, I do. I like it
7:46
Do you know what it is? You're missing your ears. Do you know who that is, Ripley
7:50
Who's that? Hello. You're not the person that takes it out for once
7:54
I thought that CJ's reaction was very different to what I'd kind of expected to begin with
7:58
She didn't think it was very me, but she actually didn't hate it very much, which was surprising
8:03
I knew my mum would kind of like it a little bit, but I think she prefers me being able to express myself and be exactly who I want to be
8:11
Stop saying that I mean. You know who I am. If I've learned anything from this experience, it's definitely that I am 100% happy with the way that I look
8:21
Self-expression is such an important form of art to me, and makeup isn't just about making yourself look pretty
8:27
It is an art form in itself
