I'm an elf clown with bags of attitude
0:02
Today, I'm going to be dropping my clown look for some more normal, natural look
0:07
This is kind of completely out of my comfort zone for sure. And we're going to see how my sister reacts
0:12
I don't know if they're going to like it because they're so used to this. Just please don't give me a crusty wig
0:18
You think mom and dad would like it? Oh, oh, oh! Hello
0:28
Hi, I'm Lydia. Hi, nice to meet you. How about you doing your makeup today
0:32
Oh, so excited. I'm so excited. You're so cute. Cute? All right
0:37
What exactly is an elf clown? So an elf clown is just a combination of the two
0:41
an elf and a clown. I love colored hair. I like having bright, vibrant colors
0:46
I love stripes, clearly, so I went really ham. I don't feel like I stick to any particular style
0:52
I kind of just go all over the place. Oh my gosh
0:56
This is going to be so fun. So I think I'm going to take your wig off first just so I can, you know, not get any makeup in it
1:03
So I've got the Clinique Take the Day Off. And what this does is you put it on the makeup and then the makeup just like slides right off
1:10
So it breaks all the makeup down. How long does it take you every day to put all that on
1:14
It usually takes about an hour, maybe an hour and a half if I'm being picky. What a skill
1:20
So what inspired this look? This is kind of my holiday clown look
1:25
Her name is Ryoka. I came up with her once when a guy said I look like Ron McDonald's daughter because my hair was dyed red
1:32
When I'm wearing this version of me or this kind of like makeup
1:35
I feel like you can't completely see my face or me and I feel like I'm more free to be myself
1:41
I guess I feel a little more confident when I'm in my alter-eager looks and they're an extension of me
1:46
So it's like it's not just me putting on a completely different persona or act
1:50
I would say it's just little pieces of me that I'm usually more timid to let out when I in my normal style or clothing How long have you practiced this makeup style I think I did my first official clown look like five years ago Okay And so I just been working on it since
2:07
So around 2013, I would say, is when I started trying to dress more and, like, experiment with my style
2:13
I grew up watching anime, but once I got to college, I went crazy
2:17
Just to get your skin nice and ready, we're going to start with the Airbrushed Flawless Setting Spray by Charlotte Tilbury
2:23
And it just gives the makeup that long-lasting, flawless look. How does your family feel about your look
2:29
Yeah, they're not big fans because they're very conservative and traditional. And then I come in there looking like, they'll purpose, they'll message me like
2:39
hey, please tone it down when you come. Anything, colored hair, tattoos, they don't get the cosplaying thing
2:46
You know, they let me do my thing because they're like, well, you know, you're an adult, do whatever you want. But they're not the most supportive of it, I would say
2:53
They do like that I do makeup and they think I should do something with that. but the rest of it is like that's kind of weird when you're going to grow up
2:59
I'm going to be using the new Natasha Denona Eye Sculpt Texture and Tone Palette on you
3:06
I think this is going to be really beautiful with your complexion. For lashes today, I'm going to be using the brand Ardell Naked Lashes, the 421s
3:15
I love these because they look so natural and they're nice and lightweight and fluffy
3:19
Do you get judged on the way you look or the way you dress? I do get judged very harshly for how I go out in public
3:26
Basically, if you're wearing anything that's out of the norm around here, they will stare at you
3:30
Sometimes it's with like, they seem like they really can't stand you. And other times it's just like, they laugh at you
3:36
I've straight up had people point and laugh at me. And like, at first it used to bother me like a lot
3:41
But as I got older, I was like, well, yeah, I know. I look cooler than you
3:45
It's okay. Have you ever played around with like, glamorous makeup before
3:51
I have. Yeah, like a little bit here and there. So I decided to do this transformation today
3:56
because I wanted to try something different, try something new Wanted to see what it felt like to go back to more normal look and maybe at some point I can show this to my parents to see how they react to it since they didn want to do it today
4:08
We'll see how it feels to go back to more like normal Southern
4:12
Charm Jen or something. So to finish her look, I'm going to be using the Urban Decay
4:16
All Nighter setting spray. And who are you doing your reveal to you today
4:21
My sister. So my sister, she's very accepting of my look. She loves it
4:26
She thinks it's very me. And she knows that I'm very bubbly all over the place
4:31
She's very supportive and I love her for that. Girl, this is really cute
4:36
I do not think they're gonna like the natural strip back look. I could be wrong, but I don't think they're gonna like it
4:41
Just please don't give me a crusty wig. All right, Jenny, are you ready to see yourself
4:47
I guess so, I'm really nervous. Three, two, one! Oh wow, whoa
4:55
That does not look like me at all. Oh my gosh. Wow
5:02
I'm just in shock because the makeup is way different than I usually do, but it looks really good
5:07
It feels like I'm going to the office. Like, do you have an appointment with Mr. Harper? I don't think so
5:11
Like, the shoes, I totally wouldn't do pointed shoes either. But, you know, I could see myself working with these
5:18
I could work with those with another outfit. The wig isn't terrible. It's not an auntie wig
5:23
Yeah, if I send my parents a picture, they're not going to know who this is
5:28
Like, oh. How do you feel about Jin's clown style? I love her clown cosplay a lot
5:37
We kind of grew up being artsy and cosplaying or, you know, experimenting with our art side of things
5:46
Paint and makeup, things like that. So I love her clown makeup a lot
5:51
I don't easily see her dress up in average casual wear. She loves to just change it up a lot
5:59
How would you feel if James started dressing in a more normal non style I feel like that just wouldn represent her
6:10
I feel like she's done it for such a long time and it's become a part of her. I think it would just be weird for me
6:16
if I didn't see her do that. Something like this? Oh, oh, oh
6:23
Oh my God! Oh my goodness! do you think mom and dad would like it i think so and i think that we kind of like oh that's weird
6:39
they'd be like is she okay today they'd be like oh dang you got like a corporate job now
6:45
it's very different i don't think it's something i'm gonna keep but you know it's cute what do you think of jane's new look uh it's different
6:57
Honestly, I wasn't expecting that, but I guess I should have. It's very, like, business lady-like
7:05
I just never pictured that for her. But, yeah, no, I do think it's a cute look
7:11
It's just not what I would expect for her to wear. What do you think of your clown-less look
7:18
I think it's different. It's not as bad as I thought it was going to look, to be honest
7:23
But I don't mind it. I don't know if I would do it again, but I mean, it's cute
7:28
It's taught me that, like, yeah, to be a little more open to things and that, you know
7:32
it might not be as bad as I thought, but like, I'm still be true to yourself
7:36
Because ultimately, I think that my look fits me the best. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that
7:40
The clown's coming back. I'm sorry. It's like, it's cute, but the clown absolutely has to come back
