00:00I describe my style as alternative.
00:03Some people call me emo or goth.
00:06My everyday outfit is pretty similar to this.
00:10All black or dark colors.
00:12I don't like bright colors, girly things.
00:14I just like to dress dark every day.
00:17Today, I'm transforming from my look
00:19into something completely opposite.
00:21I'm gonna look like a totally different person.
00:23Oh my God, that's so pink.
00:26I'm gonna cry.
00:27Three, two, one.
00:31Oh wow, that's different, it's different.
00:37My name's Lux.
00:38I'm 23 and I live in Manchester.
00:41I describe my style as alternative.
00:46Some people call me emo or goth,
00:48but I just say alternative
00:49because I feel like I don't fit into those subcategories.
00:53I started dressing like this
00:55mainly because a lot of my idols did
00:58and I loved the look
01:00and it just slowly over time started getting darker.
01:04So my everyday outfit is pretty similar to this.
01:08All black or dark colors.
01:10I just like to dress dark every day.
01:12I tend to never wear girly things.
01:15Pink things, just bright frilly things.
01:18It just doesn't work on me.
01:19It doesn't fit my personality.
01:21I think the most striking part of my look
01:23is definitely my eye makeup.
01:25A lot of people aren't into it with the big lashes
01:28and I get a lot of comments, but I love it.
01:31This is kind of like the kind of thing
01:33I'd wear on a daily basis.
01:35Just dark, oversized, a little bit creepy.
01:39Just kind of a little bit spooky.
01:42I love being scary even though I'm really not.
01:46These are my favorite boots.
01:48No matter what I'm wearing,
01:49they just make it look a little darker,
01:50a bit more alternative.
01:52I love that.
01:53I get a lot of looks when I wear these
01:55because I'm already almost six feet tall.
01:58And these add a lot onto it,
01:59so I'm really intimidating in them.
02:01So I have over 20 tattoos,
02:03but most of them are small.
02:04And on my legs is my newest one.
02:06I love it.
02:07I've got them going down my arms.
02:10And then I've got a new knife.
02:13That's my favorite.
02:15I'm going to be revealing my look to my boyfriend, Bailey.
02:19We pretty much met because of our styles,
02:23which were a little bit more similar.
02:25We both dress pretty dark
02:26and a little bit more alternative.
02:28He's never seen me in a different style,
02:31except in a couple pictures from when I was younger.
02:33So it's going to be super fun.
02:35Lux's usual style,
02:36I'd probably say she's quite alternative.
02:38The colors that I wouldn't associate with Lux
02:40is definitely pink,
02:41mainly pastel colors as well.
02:43So any of those colors,
02:44I just don't think she'd rock.
02:47Today, I'm transforming from my look
02:49into something completely opposite.
02:51I'm going to look like a totally different person.
02:54Oh my God.
02:55That's so pink.
02:56I'm going to cry.
02:59Oh, we have pink nails.
03:01Oh, more pink.
03:04Oh my God.
03:05That's so intense.
03:07I hate it.
03:08Oh no, I'm fluffy.
03:11Oh, I'm going to cry.
03:17Hi, how are you?
03:18I'm good, how are you?
03:20Awesome.
03:22I'm Lux.
03:23So we're just getting ready to take off my eye makeup
03:26and then we're going to go into something softer
03:28and just brighter and nicer.
03:31I'm just going to trust Eleanor with it
03:33and hope that it turns out.
03:36So I think it's probably going to take around two hours
03:39with the towel cover up.
03:43It's about 40 minutes in, I think.
03:46I'm a bit more relaxed,
03:48but I'm still really nervous to see what's going to happen.
03:52It's really nice to have someone else do my makeup for a change.
03:55It's really relaxing.
03:58So I'm just going to go in and colour correct the tattoos
04:02before we apply any concealer.
04:11Okay, we're all done now.
04:13How are you feeling?
04:14Are you excited?
04:15Yeah.
04:16You look so different.
04:17Three, two, one.
04:23That's horrible.
04:25Oh, I hate it.
04:28I love the makeup.
04:29It's really pretty.
04:30The wig is horrendous.
04:33All the pink is so overwhelming.
04:35I want to cry.
04:36Guys?
04:45Oh, wow.
04:47I didn't expect that.
04:48That's lovely.
04:50Wow.
04:53That's different.
04:54It's different.
04:56Do you like it?
04:57I like the dress.
04:58Do you like the wig?
04:59I miss the silver hat.
05:00I think it's a big change.
05:02I think it's different
05:03and not something that I'd ever have expected
05:05to see her in, ever.
05:08Yeah, I definitely want her to go back to her original style.
05:10I mean, she does look incredible still,
05:11but I definitely prefer her
05:14when she likes what she's wearing.
05:17I enjoyed the process of getting glammed up.
05:20It was really fun.
05:22It's actually seeing myself all girly.
05:25It's an interesting experience, but not for me.
05:28I really want to go back to my original style now.
05:31I miss it.
05:32I want to be in all black again.
05:35I want to get out of these heels so bad.
