Hello everybody today we're going to do a makeup transformation
I know what you're thinking Taylor you only have about two makeup looks
I know so today we're going to resurrect Taytay 2.0 from the dead
We're literally gonna do a darker version of her
a Gothic Lolita version
So what inspired all this?
Today's video is kindly sponsored by a gaming app called love Nicki when they contacted me
I had heard about them before and I was like, yes, my inner Taytay is quicken
Because not only do I get to wear Lolita makeup again
a good reason to wear circle lenses
dressed like a doll
Open my eyes really big and have little to no movement in my face
But also this game when you open this game,
I'm gonna open this game.
It is literally like a dream fantasy Lolita dress up world like
this game is kind of like reading a manga because it has a storyline and it takes you across seven nations and
you dress up and do different style competitions and
Let me just get to that part.
So you have different fashion contests
And then if you win it, you win coins and diamonds and you can buy new clothes, new hairstyles, makeup
Accessories, shoes. There's so many things to choose from
you can also play with your friends and you can customize your own house to live in
the games a lot of fun and it's free
so if you want to download it, I will leave the link below in my description box so you can check it out
So today's makeup is sponsored by my avatar on this game
She looks like this
She's this super gorgeous dark gothic lolita and a mage goddess with purple hair
I'm gonna try to recreate a similar we'll need a look on myself
So let's just get started and play around and see what this is gonna look like.
First, I think it's important to understand what
Exactly, I have so much crap here
Because I don't really know what I'm doing. So I've just all my makeup and brushes and snacks and water
Like I feel like I'm gonna be here half of the day accessories
Everything's sitting here. Okay. So first I want to see exactly what Gothic Lolita
-ISM is because I need to at least try and do it justice. So I need to understand a little bit
Gothic Lolita is a subcategory of Lolita fashion and Lolita fashion is a fashion subculture from Japan
that is highly influenced by Victorian and Edwardian clothing and styles from the Rococo period
Gothic Lolita has many parts
You can vary our altars start with undergarment, modest stockings or tights
Pair and make up some common hair include strained or curled hair left down
Although pigtails are sometimes worn
smoky or neatly defined eyes and light blush
Although as with all lolita substyles the look remains fairly neutral
Black lipstick is almost never worn
Arguably this fashion subculture was made popular by mana who was a member of the Japanese band malice miser
so I'm not really sure why that website said that black lipstick is almost never worn because
Mana, definitely wears black and also my character wears black
So my inspiration is gonna be a mix of all things the stuff I just read, mana, this character
Okay, so we are gonna start with foundation and for that I'm going to use the coverfx color in N0
so I'm just taking a bit of a foundation on a damp beauty blender and I'm just gonna dab it everywhere to cover
Any redness or acne or acne scars that I've got.
I actually filmed this video yesterday.
This is my second attempt. Yesterday things just kept going wrong
This is literally the universe telling me to stop trying beauty videos
I've sat down now. I think three times to film this video
it started thunderstorming
And became really dark. I've just dropped my makeup everywhere.
I had this huge pimple over here that I needed to pop because it was a big Whitehead and it was looking at you guys straight
In the eyes, so I got rid of that for you and then it was bleeding so I had to wait
Filming Beauty videos is no joke and then in the end, I didn't even like the look I created
I think what it is is I've been
Watching a lot of beauty gurus like nikkietutorials, Jeffrey star, James Charles
and I tried to follow a lot of the steps that they did the way they would do the
the way they would do the transition color
and then like the darker color and like a pop of color in the center and
The makeup didn't really I don't know
I just hated the way it turned out and then last night I was thinking what I could do instead and then I was like
duh, just look inside me and
Do take a 2.0 make up on a darker version
now I'm going to use my NARS radiant creamy concealer in the color Chantilly, conceal under my eye
spray in this full area
With my nose
Pimples
My skin I was talking about my skin. I'm sorry, but I need to vent to someone sick
it's something stupid my skin was going so well again, and then
I started eating avocado on toast in Japan
for breakfast and then when I came back to Hong Kong
I still did it every day and I was eating a whole avocado a day for like 3 weeks, 2 to 3 weeks straight and
Now my skin freaked out and broke out like crazy again. This is like the end of the breakout so this isn't bad now
I realized I can't eat a lot of fat in my diet
and I know it's healthy fat and I want to eat it because it's delicious
and I always see Romee Strijd the Victoria's Secret model eating it in her vlogs,
and I was like I need to I need to do that too
because whatever she does I need to do but um
I don't know for some reason my body can't take it and then so yeah diet is super
personal. What works for someone doesn't work for all.
Then I'm gonna make everything look super matte with this Jill Stuart pressed powder
and I know this color is too light for my skin, but
We're going for a very matte pale
Deathly look today, which I know not all Gothic Lolita do
actually I think they don't really make their skin look pale, it's more natural
but
Again I'm incorporating mana and that avatar from the game so
I do it slightly
I'm using the jeffree star Beauty killer palette for this look and I'm gonna start with the color China white
And I'm just gonna place that everywhere over my eyelid
Now I'm gonna take the color vanity which is like a purplish greyish blackish color and apply it to my crease
I'm putting it on slightly above my crease not directly in it
I want to raise it a little bit and I'm just gonna blend this out
you wanna keep this eyeshadow very rounded
instead of out if that makes sense. So I'm just adding a little bit more of that
China white color from the palette
On top of this to just
The jet gel liner from morphe and I'm using a super skinny liner brush
and we're gonna start with the bottom lashes and draw a line slightly lower than our natural lash line
And for the top we're going to take the black right in here and make a sort of sharp point
Start the liner on the outer half of your eye
And make a very thin line
Going slightly down and slightly out pass your lash line
The bottom part is gonna smudge out a bit
I'm gonna add a bit of concealer here just to clean up this end. I want to make this look a bit bigger here
Now I'm going to take my light beige eyeliner from Makeup Forever
and Line the waterline of my lower eyelid
And I go slightly down on the eyelashes
And I'm gonna apply a light concealer on my lower lid to just brighten this area up here
Now I'm just gonna take a bit of my bronzer
It's not a shimmery one or contour I guess the point where you see this when you
Smile or you squint your eyes?
I'm gonna apply a bit of that
Then to make it even darker looking I'm going to apply some of the vanity
underneath that
Shimmery purple color is called princess on a pallet in the center of my eye
For lashes I'm going to use these diamond lash ones
And I'm going to put it so it goes slightly longer than my left natural lash line
And then I'm gonna cut one of the same lashes and earnest to get on the lower lash line and
Now mascara I'm going to use the majolica majorca one my favorite one and
Just apply thick coats to the top and bottom lashes
For the bottom lashes you want to start slightly more down so not right at the top of the lash line
And I'm applying a lot and trying to bunch them together
to kind of give the look of the false lash
And I'm just touching up on the wing here because the eyelash glue screwed it up
for the brows I'm gonna change them to black just like the photo. I'm just using a black eye shadow for this
Clean it up with a bit of light concealor
And add a bit of shimmery white eyeshadow
Okay, here we go. It has been a minute since I wore circle lenses. These ones are the same size as my eye
So it they won't enlarge them.
We're going for a darker side. Like I said, so I'm not gonna make it too big and bright
Old familiar feeling. Oh, I love these these look really natural. Look at that
So I'm gonna do the other side now and then I will be back to you guys
Alright now we're gonna do a very pinched animate type nose. I'm just gonna take my benefit hoola light
Contour again and on top of my nose not beside
And I take some highlight
I'm gonna add a bit more bit of bronzer to my cheeks and finally for the lips
We're gonna do them black just like the photo the avoid shimmery eyeshadow to the center just to make my lip pop more
Okay, and last thing I don't know why I know this isn't Gothic Lolita, it's more maybe more gothic or
Punk, emo but I want to add a lip ring
Fashion and makeup is all about expressing yourself the way you want to so you don't need to follow
Exactly by the guidelines.
I don't know. I just want to see what this looks like. I got these false earrings
I just got these on Amazon
Actually love these lip rings
I've only ever had a belly button ring. They make me talk great though
I've only ever had a belly button ring and I took it out now
I'm gonna change my hair to my wig, change my outfit and then we'll be full Lolita Gothic Lolita mode
Okay, whoa well like I belong in the craft or something but the same time I don't like it
I haven't tried this dark of hair ever. I've worn a few wigs from modeling before but not this dark
All right, here is my finished look I stuck to what I read and put black tights to black thigh high
Tights on underneath and then I put a skirt underneath that extra layer
so I don't have the big frilly toto which would have made it look better but
I worked through what I had and this black dress laces up in the front and the back so it helped
Give me that good shape. I topped it off with a purple wig
I really enjoyed playing with this whole look I want to thank love Nicki again for sponsoring this video
Once again, I will link the game below if you want to check it out. And yeah, I had a lot of fun
I'm happy it was a little bit of a struggle and I was very nervous to play with this topic and I don't know why
doing makeup
Especially when it's a sponsored video
puts me under a lot of pressure because I want to make it perfect and I don't really know what I'm doing, but
Yeah, I had a lot of fun and maybe I'll try some other looks it was once it's all done
I really enjoy and I love taking photos with this like playing with it
And I'm gonna try you guys on Instagram later with this. But yeah, can you guys so much for watching?
I will see you in my next video
