Hi sisters, James Charles here, welcome back to my youtube channel.
If you're thinking wow, James, you look not good
I would be thinking yes.
It's currently 6:00 in the morning and I just rolled out of bed and sat down
and filmed a video after going to bed at 4 a.m last night filming a video. So that's um fun and fresh.
Today I'm doing something crazy that I'm actually very very very nervous for and I
Am going to tell you about that *james dying on the inside*
Throughout the year in the beauty community. We have a few huge major events called beauty conventions
There's a lot of them that go by different names
But overall they have the same kind of purpose of connecting smaller influencers and big brands to allow them to network together
Sell products, do demos, do classes for influencers to make appearances and they're usually pretty fun
I remember a few years ago and I had only 50,000 followers begging and pleading my parents
Let me use all of my saved up money to fly to California to go to generation Beauty
I had followers but no fans yet
No brands had any idea who I was no influences knew who I was I remember my makeup looked literally
The absolute worst and as my first time meeting all the major influencers, I snuck into the crater cocktail party
So I got to meet so many people and take photos and it was honestly such a cool experience
And it's also the first time that ever got on PR list ShiSHter
Because of you guys know and how fast this sisterhood is growing. I don't really go to beauty conventions that often anymore
For a lot of reasons but spoiler alert. I'm going to one today
So I'm going to keep those reasons to myself because I don't wanna get yelled at after this video
Even though I personally choose to not go to these conventions much anymore
It has been several years since I've attended one
The industry is ever-changing and it's been a very very long time since I've been able to interact with fans different Beauty influencer people
Different brands and I'm kind of curious as to how these conventions are running
Are they going smoothly after Tanacon
I feel like anything would be going smoothly in comparison to that. But I really want to get the inside scoop
See how people are feeling about the industry right now who they like who they don't like what brands they like which brands they don't
like, so
For today's video. I thought of doing this a few weeks ago and I can't believe this is actually coming to life
But, I hired an extremely talented special effects artists. You guys are going to meet in a few short minutes and
Today I am getting fully
professionally transformed into a completely different human being and I'm going to be sneaking into beautycon and
interviewing a ton of people about the makeup industry
You guys I'd like to introduce you to my very very special  guest today this is Channing! Welcome to my Channel
Channing: Hello, hello sisters
- Are you excited? - I am really excited but also really nervous, okay because this is a huge transformation
- Do you wanna explained like briefly what we're really doing. - Okay. So James contacted me for this super secret sister makeover
And he basically wanted to be in disguise to go to beauty con
- Yes. - And we decided to do something like an older 30 year-old male
Very masculine. So he's gonna have a beard, he's gonna have facial features that change with the prosthetics,
he's going to have a wig on we'll do something with the brows will change wardrobe and
He will be a new man. -Oh my god. How long would you this process is gonna take
-Usually special effects makeup artists have like three or four people working on one person. They still can take up to five hours
Five to six hours eight hours
The more pieces the longer it takes to apply
-How many pieces do you have today, -um, I think we have five -what do you think
It's gonna be the hardest aspect of it successfully pulling off this
Sister secret surprise -I would say your face but we have that under control
-yEs girl -We have it covered. -Yes
-I think the next biggest challenge would be just staying in character and keeping your mannerisms in check 
  -Yeah. Um
the second... -One Sister Slip... -oH thats a gOOd one! -And everyone is gonna know
-Yeah, I'm gonna have to say hey guys for all the clips today which is gonna be a challenge already
I have to really focus on slowing my words down
I also have to try to go from being like a 98 percent gay man to a like roughly
32% gay man, or I'm out. We already went ahead and took off all my jewelry earlier on which was
Very emotionally hard for me. Oh, she's stuck. Oh, oh, oh
Hello. Hey, I should take off. My cardi doesn't look I can never do this with nails this limb
You didn't have to use a screwdriver for so
Please don't ever try to rob me or cut my hand off on the streets because even if you do
You won't be able to get it. So
Gotcha with that one. I'd literally don't think I've taken this bracelet off since I bought it what the hook righty tighty lefty loosey
Right. Yes
Right lefty oh, there we go. Oh Jesus it's early
My hand is shaking
What the heck?
Unscrew? Oh, oh, no. I only took six hours for no reason. Do you think it's
Solid gold sister's necklace. I'll give it away. (no absolutely not James) Oh! Kellie get it off. I'll vlog.
Hey Katie girls what have my producer Kelly taking off my neck last cause it's stuck on my body. Wow. That was easy. Yeah
Well, it's official ladies, I officially am worth $0.00 as a human being so -Nope. Your left ear  -Oh
Okay ladies, it's official again, I am officially worth
$0.00 as a human being so that's really fun and fresh, but I want to offer such as a good personality
um.... *James dies for the second time*
Good personality -Coincidentally as well. This week has also been one of the most stressful of my entire life
So I may or may not have bitten off all of my acrylic nails
Which is actually great for this video because I think that may be a very intense giveaway
-That could be a definite give away _That could get...That could that could
I'll give you go down. Well, I have a million questions that I want to ask you tanning
I am excited for this video today. I think you are so talented and I'm putting my face in your hands
I'm very very nervous
I'm not even gonna lie. It not because I don't trust you because I don't trust myself
So we have five hours ahead of us. I think we need to buckle up
Get ready to go get ready to his sister's secret surprise everybody
And should we get started on this transformation
So a few nights ago Channing came over to my apartment for the first time ever and made a life cast a
life cast of my face which was probably
mmmmmmm *dies*
One of the scariest and worst hours of my entire life, but through doing this
She was able to actually make a full plate of a wonderful prosthetics that are gonna be glued on and we'll roll the footage
right now and show you guys how that process went because I'm sure you're just going to love watching me suffer 
  -Walk us through your
Process like what are we doing?
We're gonna use a trash bag, just to protect your lower body, your clothes. -I'm wearing a trash bag? -A trash bag. -I love that!
I am trash. I am looking right at home. -You look like at West Hollywood trash can
It's silicone body double it's what I'm gonna use to laughs cast him. It'll come free from like all his hair
I don't have to use a release and it's it's a lot quicker and it lasts a lot longer
So if James wants to make multiple life casts of himself he can this is very good covered now
Guys, please try not to make me laugh once I help explain the feeling right now. Why are you so cat?
It kind of feels like cold. Oh my
I'm getting claustrophobic. Just looking at you. These might be the best 30 minutes in my entire life
We can legit talked about him and him not even talk back to us
So after this
I will take it and I'm gonna pour a stone in it that we use to make life cast and from there
I'll start sculpting the prosthetic pieces and from that I'll make a mold of those
And I'll pour them in more silicone and then they'll be ready to go on. Oh, that's so weird. I don't like that
I feel like that's really squishy. You know. Hope the sister slice under James's nose
Okay, so now I'm gonna take plaster bandages and make a shell for the silicone mold and it just protects it
Yeah, so this is the hardest part of doing it cuz now it's gonna be stiff where he can't move at all
And I'm sure he feels it like the difference. Do you feel genius warm it's warm. You can feel it
He's heard me knock on him like 20 times now, but I'm making sure it's okay
Hmm wait now start moving your face around
This is your face really beautiful
Know what's the top ba definitely was like very uncommon especially everybody saying funny things. They want to laugh so bad
But it wasn't like pop ups. So I'm gonna start by cleansing the skin to get rid of any dirt
oil all of those things
Sticking and then I'm taking a skin protectant to put on you. It's gonna be like damaging to my skin at all
No, if you remove it correctly, then it's totally safe a lot of fun
So yes starting out I'm using pros aid transfers which are kind of like the same as tattoos
You wet the back of the paper
Like literally a temporary tattoo and then you just blend the edges off with alcohol
So what like are you interested in special effects like in the first place
And the tricks that they pull love that
Yes
Yeah, I feel like the less
So if you a definite giveaway, most 30 year-old straight men don't exactly have a vial the Juvederm engulf less
But you know what? We're not judging here
Wow, I look like I just gave a really good sister sock
Since the designs are so small. You may not think that like they'll do much
Yeah to the overall look but once you see it come together, you'll realize like oh it took that little amount
To change a feature, huh? This is low-key really relaxing. I don't want to fall asleep research
Any you were saying you loved horror movies? That's kind of what you got, you know special effects
What are some of your favorite horror movies that you've seen?
I love all the some of these I was gonna say I figured you would like those. Yeah
Yeah
It's just like the thing that inspires me is the fact that you can literally
Just take someone a regular human and turn them into this like creature this monster
So now I'm going to take silicon encapsulated pieces and apply them to James
I'm gonna start with his chin Oh
God
So these are the pieces that Shannon came over a few days ago to premake. Oh, I know you're not giving me a double
Channing bruda
Just kind of like with the pros aid transfers
These blend off with alcohol as well. Well, probably the first and only time alcohol will be featured on the James Charles YouTube channel
I'm a sober sister
My butt chin has gone, oh now know about of jaw clenching her face didn't can fix this that's my worst nightmare. Oh
No, oh my god, you've got to be kidding me so saying how long did you actually go to cosmetic school for
But they take you through everything so quickly which I think is a good thing yeah, are you a fast learner I am same
That was my biggest thing in school would be like
I would learn the lesson once and then they'd keep going through it and reviewing and I was like, oh my god
So now I'm gonna put on cheek pieces for James. What is this gonna do to the jawline? Oh my cheekbones
It's gonna round it off. It's not gonna be as structured
Okay out of all the things that you learn how to do what's been your hardest like transformation or like special effect. Yeah
I'm so in school
in the special effects class we have to like sculpt and make our own monster and that was probably
The hardest thing that I've ever done really yeah cuz start to finish it was like a four week process
For weeks. Holy crop. Everything in school is pretty much like that
I kind of rather than be that way because I think it just prepares you more
How would you compare like this transformation type to like the stuff that you're doing in school? Like the monster stuff.
This is more difficult in the fact that it's like realism right a monster
You can just be like as creative and crazy as you want
This is like all about making sure you paint it, right?
Making sure your edges are blended really nicely. So this is harder
whoa, I
Don't know why I'm so nervous for this. Hello everybody. My name is Tom and welcome to Beauty Cod
That's not like a man. No
That's still okay. I could be a really gay bad it bros its mark
Question right now and let's see do both and pretend that you're asking a question
Hey
Who would you say your favorite influencers and Oh No, who would you say right now?
Are your favorite influencers in the beauty community? And who is your least favorite?
That still sounded like me, huh? I love this
Have a pop in the middle I face. I think this is the finished look right here guys. So right now I'm taking
bondo
Which is just like a thickened adhesive to help blend the edges of the prosthetic into the skin better
So is this like the final set before we get to the painting?
Yeah, okay guys, we just had breakfast and we are back and we're ready to start painting
This is where actually it gets like real and it starts to like look like a real person
Hello
hi and
I took my wig off because Mama's hot and she's working love
Okay. So now I'm gonna start painting with alcohol paints. And the reason why we use alcohol paints is because there's still translucent
So it makes it look like skin like you're not taking a bunch of product on you can still have translucency with it
So how many layers of paint would you typically do for this?
you just build them up until it gets to like a skin tone type of base like
It's a multiple layered thing like you can't just go in one or two layers
So now I'm going to take the beer that I made and apply it with spirit gum
I'm so exited i'm gonna be a man
I'm so excited. I'm gonna be a man
Oh
My god, oh, yeah
Hey brothers, what's my name Steven?
Eight years of races and brushing my teeth not to go down the drain
Alright guys, I guess this is the transformation all complete so I'm gonna go put on my bro outfit
It's gonna go put on my bro outfig and get changed and get ready for my first ever interview
Super excited major. Thank you to Sister Channing for participating in this video today, bro

Welcome sister sister out. So now my face in here a complete, but we still have a whole lot left to do
So let's go to the closet. We just finished the first part of the transformation and brother Ian hasn't seen me yet
So I think we need to go sister surprise him
What
What's up, bro?
Kind of good great
Perfect. Love that for us brother drew here. It's when my best friends in the entire world. He's a fashion blogger here on YouTube
Called them over today because I need a bro outfit for this bro interview. So
Let's head into the closet no homo

No, I wasn't even coming over here for this thank you - watch your face
Now you're treating my often bro. What about beats?

Mm-hmm. Yeah, then tuck it in marilla and we're no belt not. No, that's too trendy. You were this
Australia sisters good. I like to buck in Australia here for today's interview a beauty : job you really do?
You're in the parts of the Caribbean
Episode of breaking Amish. This one does like right here
What's up, Bros, welcome to Beauty con ha ha ha
Who's like your favorite influencer right now? I love James Charles. he's pretty funny
We're on the way right now to beautycon and I'm not even gonna lie, like I'm feeling really really nervous right now
I never ever get nervous to like be in front of people
But I think I'm nervous because like this is not like me. I'd have to like act and have to like play a part
I guess I'm just concerned because I
Really want to see the sisters and stuff
But it can like these conventions can be a major safety hazard and I'm just praying that
We don't get caught because if we do it's literally over and this whole entire thing is ruined at this point
I think Channing did literally such a phenomenal job
I don't think it's gonna be the face that's gonna be an issue if anything
I think it'll be the voice
Or like if I slip up on my man voice or like my mannerisms I speak with my hands so much
Like so so so much my stomach
it kind of feels like
Right now and I think it's because I'm getting the feeling on how I used to get when I first went to these
Conventions like as if I'm not important because there's gonna be a
million people there and it's like it's very overwhelming
they're always very very crowded and very very packed and like everybody's super standard to see the people that they love and the brands they
Love but normally not when I can walk into an event or a convention
I have a full team of people around me that are protecting me that are making sure I'm led to the right places getting like
You know what? I mean? Like I'm very coordinated at these type of events and this were literally walking in of course
Hopefully they won't be able to see it's me, but it's still kind of like that
Same feeling of like oh, I don't really know what is gonna happen
I'm not really sure how that's gonna go if I'm being completely honest. I'm just a little bit nervous
I just want this to go. Well, we just got here. We have to find the entrance now. I don't really know where we're going
I'm very scared. I'm gonna be honest, but let's get this over with
Hi guys, my name is Steven Brockwell and today I'm reporting live from beautycon at Los Angeles
My name is Steven, can I ask you a few questions for glitter glam magazine?
I'm feeling it not good
I'm literally freaking out and I don't know why I've never been like that's all showing a video before
I don't know why I'm so scared
Cut the cameras, I think we need to go home today kind of reminded me exactly why I stopped going to those
