Today, Kai is stepping away from her colourful Goblin look and will be transformed into a traditional Goth.

00:00It's really hard to label my style, but I would mainly label it as forest-inspired fairy-goblin kind of thing.
00:08It makes me feel really happy, it's just who I am and I just feel like it is a pop of color in a more grey world.
00:17So today a makeup artist is coming over and styling me from my more forest-goblin self into a traditional goth and I'm really excited for that.
00:28My boyfriend really likes my current style and I wonder if he will feel the same way about a gothic style.
00:34Ready?
00:40You have eyebrows?
00:41Yes.
00:42Oh, I get eyebrows.
00:49I would describe my everyday look as really like garden fairy with forest-gremlin vibes
00:56and then I add a lot of accessories with mushrooms.
01:00I also wear a lot of crystals and fairy elements like those wings or the ears.
01:09I usually take like one hour a day to do my whole makeup look and one hour for deciding what I'm gonna wear because I'm really indecisive.
01:19So it's really hard to label my style because I feel like it's often quite different each day,
01:26but I would mainly label it as forest-inspired fairy-goblin kind of thing
01:33and it also has a huge influence from Japanese lolita fashion.
01:42So this is where I store all of my fancy clothes.
01:46One of my favorite pieces is this bunny bag especially because it's yellow and it has cherries which is really cute
01:53and like my all-time favorite dress is probably this one because it has like daisies all around on the sleeves and on the belt.
02:02Another favorite piece of mine is actually this dress because there are honeybears on it and pancakes
02:09and it's a really cute dress and it was actually really hard to get.
02:13It makes me feel really happy. It's just who I am and I just feel like it is a pop of color in a more gray world.
02:22I started to develop my style around when I was 16.
02:25My dad passed away when I was 16 and I was really sad for a long time and didn't quite know how to cope.
02:31So I decided I wanted a style that represented life and livelihood with flowers and all of that stuff.
02:38So it was kind of a way to cope and now I'm still doing it.
02:42So when I dress like that I always feel really happy and empowered.
02:47When I'm dressed up it kind of gives me motivation and I feel alive and it makes me happy.
02:54For clothing I barely ever wear plaid.
02:57I would never wear pants because I just don't like how pants feel on my legs.
03:02They're uncomfortable especially jeans.
03:05So today a makeup artist is coming over and styling me from my more forest goblin self
03:11into a traditional gov and I'm really excited for that.
03:16So I will reveal my transformed look to my boyfriend and I'm also really excited how he will react
03:22and I hope he won't like it better than my usual style.
03:26I'm really excited to see what's in here because I don't know yet.
03:35Okay. Oh, it's a wig.
03:37And it's black. What a surprise.
03:40More black. Seems like everything in here is black so far.
03:45Okay, next up we have pants.
03:49Oh no.
03:51And they're ripped.
03:54Awful.
03:56Awful.
03:57I'm really scared right now because the outfit looks really different from what I usually wear
04:04especially the leather jacket and the pants.
04:09The style today will be like dark gothic.
04:19Well, I think my eyebrows are currently being drawn on.
04:23I hope they won't be too dark.
04:34Oh.
04:38You ready?
04:43Oh.
04:44It doesn't look like me at all.
04:46I look like a vampire or something like that.
04:50But it doesn't look like I look before and also
04:54Oh, the eyebrows.
04:57The makeup looks really good though.
04:59Also the leather jacket.
05:01I don't even recognize myself.
05:03I am really sure that my boyfriend will like this look.
05:06He's never seen me in a look like that.
05:08So that's probably going to be exciting for him as well.
05:12Oh, I would describe her style as very colorful and calm
05:17with all this nature stuff like the mushrooms and flowers she likes very much.
05:23No matter what style she likes, I love her because of her
05:28and not because of her own style.
05:31Okay.
05:36What have you done with my girlfriend?
05:39That's crazy.
05:40I'm a bit afraid that she bites me in the night like a vampire.
05:48Do you have eyebrows?
05:49Yes.
05:50Oh, she has eyebrows.
05:55Okay.
05:56The makeup artist did a good job.
05:59The makeup artist did a really good job.
06:02It's a completely different style.
06:04It looks good.
06:05Yeah, but I think her own style is so much better.
06:10You love her no matter what?
06:12Yeah, of course.
06:13I love her so much.
06:14It doesn't matter what style she has.
06:19That's crazy.
06:20The eyes are crazy.
06:22The makeup is beautiful.
06:24And she has eyebrows.
06:26She normally has no eyebrows.
06:28That's really crazy.
06:29Actually, after the first shock, I kind of really like this look.
06:35The hair and the makeup, it's really cool.
06:38I would change up some things.
06:40If I would actually go to wear it, I would change the pants for a dress
06:44and I wouldn't wear a leather jacket.
06:46That feels kind of weird.
06:48I think in the future, I want to try more different stuff
06:53and as I saw today, it can be really a cool experience
06:56and it can maybe change my perception of my own style.
