The Internet is Exhausting Now

[singing] Now we just have to wait!

[Upbeat music]

I had to stop my dance party for this.
I hope you're happy.

Anyone else notice lately how terrible
the internet's getting?

Like, why do I have to keep logging
into things?

I know it's more secure, I just don't like
that things log me out in 2 seconds.

Why are we doing that?
What are we doing?

No more logging into things, please.

My Bitwarden is overflowing.

Also, my algorithm on like Instagram and
stuff is either terrible music

with terrible people in the comments,

or images that are like "2014 Ariana
versus 2024 Ariana."

Thoughts?

This is when the celebrity was 18

and this is what they look like now
at 55.

Thoughts?

"The pose is so cringe though."

"Those poses and facial expressions
are super cringe."

Fellas, is it cringe to stand still
and smile on a red carpet

where you're supposed to be posing
for a camera?

You'll see a lot of the accounts we're
reviewing today

use celebrities as like engagement bait,

and a lot of them will do it to like
promote their own businesses

as if they worked with the celebrity,
but obviously they didn't.

But also tied to this is the whole
like beauty industry just turning into

"wellness influencers" begging you to buy
the thing they're definitely using

on their face every day.

And suddenly I only see "buy this, use
this, don't use this,

it's gonna fry your hair off, eat eggs,
don't eat eggs they give you cancer,

use this it'll cure your acne, don't use
this it'll make your acne 10 times worse

and it'll burn off your flesh until you're
just muscle and bones."

[overlapping voices]

And I know the very masculine men
who watch my videos

are probably thinking right now that
this video might not be for them.

Um, no I think you'll like this one.

I think you'll get something out of this
whether you directly relate or not.

I had to go cut my bangs cuz
they were pissing me off.

Maybe take this as a like an insight
into enemy territory,

like a little glimpse into the fuckery
that is a women's Instagram algorithm.

As quickly as the average man's algorithm
turns into like alpha male shit

because you looked up one workout video
and now it thinks you want to learn about

crypto and brainstorming-

[man in video:] When was the last time you
sat down with a blank piece of paper

and just like brainstormed?
Ever heard of that?

I got a problem? Problem at the top.

Give me a fucking hundred solutions for
that problem.

Oh, I don't know what to-

Chill the fuck out. What's gonna happen?
Relax, G. Relax, G.

[Gabi:] -that's how fast my algorithm
turns into over analyzing my face

because I like a makeup video.

[classical music plays]

I've been seeing more beauty stuff lately
on Instagram

and it's, first of all, it's overwhelming
and exhausting.

[man from video:] Relax, G.

[Gabi:] but it also made me pay a lot more
attention to things like my posture,

my jawline, and not liking how I looked.

Mission accomplished.

Now I've been on YouTube for a little
while now,

and naturally I feel like when you're on
camera this much and you have to stare at

your own fucking face this much,

you kind of naturally want to look
better.

So what a lot of people do, whether
they're celebrities or not,

is they get things like botox, but I don't
want botox in my face

cuz I don't like needles in my face.

It has nothing to do with how I feel about
botox, trust me.

If I could, ooh, I would snatch this shit
up.

But I just have to lose weight,

I just have to get my color palette done so
I don't look gray and washed out I guess.

I just have to drink more water.

I found out I've been drinking half the
amount of water I'm supposed to be drinking

as the average woman.

I just have to lose weight! Wait, I
already said that one.

I just have to do these facial massages
every day.

My nail came off? Me having such like
mishaps with my beauty today

has been quite the metaphor for this
video.

God, being a girl is exhausting.

And like, looking better can mean you feel
better,

unless your nails keep popping off
and your bangs won't cooporate,

but there's nothing wrong with wanting
to look better to feel better,

but sometimes social media just
takes everything way too far.

"SZA's aesthetic transformation before
and after.

In honor of SZA performing with Kendrick
Lamar tonight, at the Super Bowl,

let's see her aesthetic before and after.

Any guesses on what you think she's
gotten done?

Tox, filler, surgery."

You know, me and tox, we're on a
first name basis.

Botox. I just call her tox.

"Comment below."

Does anyone see what the fuck, like,

is anyone honoring Kendrick Lamar by
posting a before and after of his face?

So what surgery do you think he's gotten
done to look better?

Uh, really cool that he performed at the
Super Bowl, though,

yeah that's like cool and stuff.

In honor of SZA, we're gonna psychoanalyze
the shit out of her face.

It is, it's such a big cycle of poop.

It's kinda like the, you know you have a
water cycle?

This is the poop cycle. This is absolute
craziness that we do this.

"Celebs that would look better with
90s brows"

And we go through Jennifer Connelly,
Gal "Cadot," Zendaya.

"Is this satire?" I'm afraid not.

"Millie Bobby Brown hasn't aged; she's
just not using the most flattering color palette.

"Wearing the wrong colors has always been
known to make you look older."

See how much more radiant and youthful she
looks with the right colors and styling?

Dude, if someone used this picture of me
as an example of, like,

how to be ugly and not ugly, I would lose
my mind.

You couldn't have chosen a picture where
she, like, looks ready for the camera?

Come on guys.

"Let the damn woman live! Let her try new
makeup and hair.

She's so young. We all did it.
Good grief."

You would think this might be a one-off,
but this is like- there's a lot of these.

Like why are we so hyperfocused on the
color of her fucking hair?

What year is it?

"Much better, she needs better beauty
advisors."

Okay, guy, really? [laughs] Like-

Now here's an image of a side-by-side of
Ariana Grande and Audrey Hepburn.

A comparison that the person who owns this
account made, not Ariana,

and so let's compare these two women
that have nothing to do with each other.

"With the big difference that Audrey was
natural beauty and Ariadna is not."

"Audrey had class, with natural beauty."

You know, like Ariana didn't make this
comparison, right?

Instagram loves putting images of like two
people side-by-side

who have nothing to do with each other

and will not put, like, a mean caption
or anything,

but they know what they're doing.

It's giving so much "let's create something
to be mad about."

[man in video:] Relax, G.

I guess also I've been wanting to get my
fashion and personal "brand" cohesive,

and I just want to feel put together.

So, that means I've been seeing a lot of
color palette videos.

A culmination of your skin's undertones,
your natural hair color,

your facial features, can mean that you're
a warm summer, cool autumn, dark winter.

You can also be high contrast, medium
contrast, or low contrast.

What the fuck does any of this mean?

I'm assuming it's kinda like the contrast
of your hair and your skintone,

whether there's a lot of contrast.

For example, I have pretty dark hair and
pretty light skin,

so I would be high contrast.

And we'll get to the color palette stuff,
but like seeing Sabrina Carpenter's

amazing glow-up (I'm just going to try to
sneak Sabrina Carpenter into every video

apparently) like seeing those gorgeous
befores and afters of these celebrities,

and how they snatched their color palette
and makeup and branding,

makes you think like "oh, what kind of
glow-up could be in store for me

if I just tried a little harder?"

I remember when I was kid, there was this
common thing about how green eyeshadow

was supposed to be really nice looking for
your dark brown eyes,

it's supposed to bring them out,

and I tried it, and that shit looked
horrible. Fucking J-14 lied to me.

But overall growing up I didn't really pay
that much attention to fashion, specifically.

I did pay attention to those
eyebrows, though.

I definitely paid way too much attention
to those eyebrows.

But like actually seriously thinking about
fashion and stuff is a

very new thing to me, I promise.

It's not that I wasn't interested in
fashion,

it was that I always had such a difficult
time and no budget

finding clothes that fit me properly and
didn't make me look bad.

It was just too much work so I kinda gave
up.

Like it feels like I've just been putting
in the effort for like aesthetics.

For example, I've been living here for
like a year and so,

and I just refuse to buy a light stand.

Here's a picture of my current setup.

You'll see I have two photo strips taped
onto the wall. One of them's falling off.

And they're both from Creator Clash from
like two years ago. I just haven't decorated.

At least in front of me, the only thing
I've decorated is what's directly behind me.

And like a few other things in the house.
But I'm working on it.

But so the eyebrow thing, that was a
trend in 2016,

and obviously yada yada beauty standards
are changing,

I don't need to give you a fucking essay
on that.

But lately, it has felt that we've- we're
like back in the early 2000s, apparently.

With the level of thin-ness that is now in
trend.

[girl in video:] I used to think there was
just fat and skinny.

Apparently, there's a lot of things that
can be wrong on your body.

[girl 1:] My hairline is so weird.

[girl 2:] My pores are huge.

[girl 3:] My nail beds suck.

[girl in video:] I have really bad breath
in the morning.

[girl 2:] Ew.

[Gabi:] After this whole big body positivity
movement,

we're literally doing this again.

Actually, we were always doing it, but I
feel like it kind of got better,

but then it kinda got worse again,

and now we're in the worst part of
the timeline.

[man in video:] Is it just me, or does
history feel like it's repeating itself?

How toxic body standards of the 90s
promoting fad diets and supplements

that didn't actually work has now been
replaced by "wellness."

75 hard, or I need to drink bone broth
every morning or why this type of sea moss

is the best for your smoothie.

The list goes on and on.

[Gabi:] Adele, Lizzo, Selena.

Thinness is in. And man, have I been
feeling that trend.

And like, of course just cuz Lizzo has
talked about body positivity in the past,

and loving her plus sized body, that doesn't
mean she can't lose weight in general

if it makes her feel better, but I'm
saying that all of this is culminating

into the trend that thinness is in.

But then people will say with their
whole chest that you should be

confident and comfortable in your own body
and feel beautiful,

but then the second that you are actually
confident and feel beautiful in your body

and find yourself attractive, it's
suddenly back to "oh, no. Not like that."

"Not like that."

"She really thinks she's hot? Wow."

And now we wonder why there's an
Ozempic epidemic.

An Ozempi-demic. Too soon?

Clearly, the cast of Hairspray, the movie
musical, has suffered from this trend as well.

"Have y'all ever seen Hairspray?"

"Wow, a tribute to a musical about a plus
sized character with no plus sized representation."

"Goundbreaking."

"You can't pay tribute to Hairspray and
be fatphobic at the same time."

It's not like being plus sized is a core
part of the story.

I mean, quite frankly, I'm just not quite
sure if I'm boy pretty or girl pretty.

Or even deer pretty or fox pretty.

What about wolf pretty or predator pretty?

No, that's actually a thing. I was saying
that as a joke.

There is, there's predator pretty and
prey pretty.

Do I have upturned eyes or downturned
eyes? I literally don't know.

Do I have a cupid's bow or a double
lip line?

Do I need glycolic acid? Do I need
hyaluronic acid?

Do I need retinol? No I shouldn't use retinol;
this is how you get Korean glass skin.

It feels like we're getting even more
analytical, like, scientific about it.

Like now we're analyzing color palettes;
which is fine in small doses.

If some of these things bring you joy and
make you feel more confident,

that's awesome. I like it.

But I've noticed this really annoying
trend of doing this to celebrities,

as if they're dress-up dolls for you to
literally go in and Photoshop

what kind of surgery they need done.

[woman in video:] So, if I was Natalia's
injector, this is what I would do.

[Gabi:] "Giving the Kardashians their old
faces back."

Dude, oh my God that one doesn't even-
that's not even the right angle.

That looks horrendous and it's not because
of their faces.

Oh, see, that's not even the right angle
either. That doesn't even-

And also, you're not taking into
consideration like the lighting or

how they did their make-up at the time.

Like, now they have professional stylists
and like make-up artists

for this photoshoot in particular that
has also been highly re-touched,

and now you're just pasting on like
terrible old pictures of them.

Not that they look terrible, like the
pictures themselves are not of the same quality.

Like, what is- I don't really understand
the point.

Hey, guys, it's Gabi here, and let's
revert Gabi Belle's face,

before the tons and tons of ugly face-deforming
surgeries she's gotten to look better

because everyone kept making fun of her
for being ugly as a celebrity in the first place.

Like, I don't know. Is this not kind of
mean?

In the same vein, people also dress up
celebrities and give them a makeover

with the guise that you're just trying to

"give an example of how they'd correctly
follow their color palette"

without any regard about how they didn't
ask for this or want this.

"Sticking to your color palette and making
the right subtle changes can work wonders.

Darker, softly arched eyebrows; winged
eyeliner and a bold lip;

purple is definitely Ariana's color;
warm brown hair color.

Ever noticed how Ariana Grande looks
stunning in her color palette

but something feels off when she's not?"

"She had such a glow down"

"Glow up or glow down?"

"Most of these are glow downs, especially
Billie, Ariana, and Leonardo."

"She be trying way too hard to act cool
and gay."

"Shit's mad weird and annoying. Her style
got shittier, too."

I've noticed all these pages really
favor making everyone look the same

and also taking away their personal
style.

"What if Lily-Rose Depp wanted a
makeover?"

"Transforming Alabama Barker into an
ethereal girl."

"Dissolve some of the lip and get chin
filler to slim the face."

I'm Googling "Alabama Barker age."

She's 19, and you are saying that she
should get chin filler.

And then people turn around and ridicule
women who get these fillers

when people keep telling them that they
need to get the fillers.

She was born in 2005. That is not chin
filler age.

"Proof you don't need to spend a lot of
money to have a glow up."

"What if we gave Grimes a makeover
while keeping her personal style?"

Yup, you definitely kept her personal
style.

My camera battery died and kombucha
spilled all over my desk

and now my desk is really sticky and
things just keep going wrong.

But God damnit I'm going to finish filming
this video. We perservere.

Oh, that wasn't plugged in. Oh, that wasn't
recording on my audio. [screams quietly]

Also, what if Lily-Rose Depp didn't
want a makeover?

You ever think of that?

"Sabrina Carpenter is not a warm
spring."

I know you were all thinking it, but thank
God my suspicions were debunked.

"Warm tones are too overpowering for her."

"Silver compliments her undertone better."

"Better in cool tones."

"Let's tone the hair to ash blonde."

I feel like I've seen every single one of
these Instagram

color consultants always make people's
hair ash blonde.

Never blonde, blonde's always too strong.

They always tone everything to the middle,
to the average.

"Color analysis changes I'd make to
Ariana Grande as an image consultant.

Add depth and warm makeup."

Girl, please. [laughing] The bangs!

Leave this girl alone, please.

"What if we gave Chappell Roan a makeover
while keeping her personal style?"

She's stunning, but let's see how much
better she'll look when I give her a makeover.

Okay, so like I like this style too, but
hear me when I say

you did not keep her personal style and
again made her more generic looking.

Like no one can be unique anymore.

"Waiting for the day we analyze men this
intensely. Her body is not your business."

Real. Okay, so look unique and stand out
but don't look too different,

don't look too unique or else that's too
much.

That's not pretty anymore, that's too
different.

But also you should keep your personal
style,

but also make sure it follows your color
palette,

but also you can keep your personal style,

but also you shouldn't do that.

I know they're celebrities, but does no
one ever think about how weird it would be

to log onto Instagram and see like dozens
of videos of people giving you a makeover

and how they'd make you look better

because they don't think you're pretty
enough or would do your style differently

or are fucking obsessed with your hair
and eyebrow color?

Here's Selena Gomez in 2024 and here's
Selena Gomez in 2025. Thoughts?

You know what you're doing.

Why are we doing this?

"All those tears made her fat."

"I think I'll blame my weight gain on meds
too."

"Age progression not on her side."

"Getting a little chunky."

"Looks like she had four babies already."

"She needs to lay off the pancakes."

"10 years and 10,000 tacos later."

"She would look so much better naked."
That's disgusting. Come on.

"Oh ozempic." "Ozempic." "Ozempic
plus whatever the fuck that is."

"Ozempic." "Ozempic. Medal."

And there are a bunch of comments on here
defending because

genuinely what is the point of this post?

There's so many posts like this.

I can't show you a clearer example of how
infuriating it is to see shit like this,

but I can show you another one.

Millie Bobby Brown has been thrown to the
fucking dogs because she doesn't look

11 anymore when she was a child actor.

"Why does she look 40?" Leave her the
fuck alone!

This is, like this is what I mean, all of
this is so exhausting.

[woman in video:] Nothing can sort of
happen in a vacuum,

and even if you're just like kind of doing
a lighthearted or good faith or you know

one-off critique of somebody or like
making a general observation,

it always has to be like put into context
whether we want it to be or not.

And so sharing an opinion about an
individual look, yes, is very different

from sharing an opinion about the whole
of an individual person

and what that look now means about their
brand and their persona going forward.

What I mean is that engaging in meaningless
critique of an outfit doesn't cause

much harm on the surface, but there are
some folks who will take it a step further,

implying that Millie should've stayed true
to this more innocent

child-like persona forever and that
celebrities in general

should be afraid of aging, which is a more
harmful touchpoint

than just saying you don't like her blonde
hair.

And the fact that a lot of female
celebrities

feel the need to change themselves to fit
with this evolving standard

warrants a critique in and of itself.

I guess the line for me is like when
you're directing it at the person

with no additional context. You know,
saying Miley's teeth look fucked up

is different than "I am disappointed that
Miley was pressured into getting veneers."

You know what I mean?

[Gabi:] You bitches complain so much
about Ariana's weight,

as if you actually care, and many people
never seem to stop and think about

why celebrities feel the need to be
as thin as possible in the first place.

Commenting on people's bodies, even if you
feel like it's out of concern,

especially on social media, is not helpful
at all.

And I know this is a circle of like people
complaining about other people talking

about someone else's body, but like
social media is actually

driving me insane I think.

If I have to see one more comment about
this woman's fucking eyebrows,

I'm gonna lose it.

Why do we give so much of a fuck
about these women's goddam eyebrows?

You guys don't get tired of fucking having
discourse

about the undertones of Ariana Grande's
hair? Give me a fucking break.

It's exhausting for me to look at as an
outsider,

but I can't believe the amount of people
that make comments on

other people's bodies, negatively, who
won't even look in the mirror

to understand how those words would
affect you

if your comment was at your expense.

It's truly baffling, like do I have to
take you all back to kindergarten?

I'll do it! Don't try me!

Like it feels like we all know this, so
like-

this is really- do we need another
reminder to maybe shut the fuck up?

"She's pretty, but she's nothing without
lash and eyebrows."

Says the person with no profile picture.

Like people are afraid of being judged
while contributing to that exact problem.

It's actually insane.

People are getting far too comfortable
again commenting on other people's bodies

on the internet.

What happened to that whole movement that
said like we weren't gonna do that?

Or does that not apply when someone's job
is an actor or a singer?

They actually signed up to do movies and
music,

not an avatar on Dress to Impress.

This might be crazy, but they're like,

a real person with feelings.

People are also using celebrities to
promote their injector botox business,

as if they did any of the celebrities'
cosmetic work.

Like first of all, I love this picture of
Miley Cyrus on the left.

This is an iconic image, I want it printed
out and taped onto my wall

next to my other two photo strips
on my wall.

I love it, it's hilarious.

But, like, "I can buy myself botox,
fillers, threads, surgery, and ozempy?"

You mean like the picture of when she
was like 15 compared to a picture

of her being 30?

Like that's insane. That's crazy work.

Also, her pose is completely different,

the shot is from a different angle.

Okay. [screams]

Can you imagine someone taking what you
look like now and then

doing a literal side-by-side of you
when you were fucking 15?

Celebrity or not, that's absurd. That's an
absurd thing to do.

And then if someone had the gall to tell
me I looked better when I was 15,

I'd fucking lose it.

And if your first reaction to all this is
"oh, well they signed up for it,

they're a celebrity" or "they signed up for
it because they posted it on the internet

and I'm allowed to have my opinion,"
look inside yourself.

I'm not holding your hand when I say this:

that is the lamest fucking argument I've
ever heard.

Like there is genuinely no good reason
to take time out of your day

to leave a comment about how someone
looked better when they were younger.

"20 years old versus 42 years old."

I love how this picture of Beyonce on the
right is so clearly edited.

"Botox, fillers, surgeries."

"Wait, how does a body do that?"

"It's called plastic surgery."

"The fact that y'all can't tell that this
is heavily edited is so funny."

It's about as funny as it is sad.

"18 years old versus 36 years old."

Um, I think they look different.

"I don't care what she had done, she looks
great and I bet feels even better.

Let's not pretend choosing the right
makeup helps, too."

You're absolutely right, she looks fantastic,
she looks great, I bet she feels great too,

but all of these comments are positive
because she had such a "glow up."

So now it's okay, now the fillers and the
botox and the ozempic, that's okay now.

Cuz she's hot.

And like not to mention her past struggles
with drugs and things like that,

she deserves to feel amazing.

But can we pick a lane?

Like it's so- I'm so confused.

When is it okay to enhance your
aesthetics?

And apparently there's times when there's
not.

Everyone's a fucking critic, everyone's a
fucking, like-

wants to control what other people
look like.

I'm so, just, confused.

Because when Lindsay actually looked like
that, when she was

going through that, the headlines were
not sympathetic towards her.

But now she's hot again, so it's okay.

And I'm actually very supportive and happy
for her now.

Obviously, there are things I would change
about myself,

as I'm sure most of us have something
like that.

For example, I wish my ass wasn't so fat.

I can't fit through doorways sometimes.

I feel like Squidward after eating the
vault of Krabby Patties.

It just- it really gets in the way.

Just kidding. I do wish my jawline was
more snatched,

and that I didn't have chronic skin
problems,

but other than some minor stuff,
I think I'm pretty.

I like my nose, I like my eyes, even
though one of them's a bit lopsided,

that's okay.

I like my hair, even though having the
darkest brown hair, I kinda wish I could

dye it without frying it to the point
that it would be food for horses.

Being 4 foot 9 does present some
challenges,

where I can't reach the second shelf of my
kitchen; half of my kitchen is entirely

unusable for me and that makes it a little
harder.

I can't reach the bottom of my washing
machine.

That makes laundry fucking horrible.

But I do get insane leg room on airplanes.

I think out of the whole genetic lottery,
I got a pretty decent spawn, you know?

I gotta be thankful for what I have.

I could've had like six toes, like-

not even aesthetically, I just think
buying shoes would be a nightmare.

But the whole point is that I could be
more attractive.

I could be the alpha woman of my dreams.

That Sabrina Carpenter glow up is just
waiting for me around the corner.

So the whole color palette thing:

I do think certain colors work best for
certain people, but again,

we don't need to be playing dress up
with celebrities who didn't ask for it.

So let's do it on me.

Let's do it on me!

A lot of these Instagram profiles that
post these like celebrity mock-ups I guess

will offer services of their own to
analyze my color palette.

They just use celebrities to promote their
business.

But I'm honestly curious about how these
people will give me a makeover.

I don't think it hurts to get some ideas;

plus, I'm doing this consensually,
so that helps.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to look
better and finding colors that suit you best

and women helping other women look and
feel their best and most confident.

It's just the climate of like over
analyzing all of our features feels feral.

Like the dozens of dos and don'ts.

What's your eye pattern? What's your eye
pattern? We're gonna put that in a box, too.

So while I take and submit photos of
myself

to send to these strangers to give me a
makeover,

let me tell you about my favorite socks,
Bombas!

Bombas doesn't care what you look like,

because I'm assuming you all have feet.

And we don't look at those that often.
Unless you go out of your way to.

You all know why I love Bombas:

they're the most comfortable socks that
I've ever owned,

and they last wash after wash and don't
get holes in them after three uses.

They're extremely high quality, but also
contribute to a great cause,

because each purchase equals one donated
to people experiencing homelessness.

Bombas make up the top three requested
items in shelters,

and if you've seen comments of people
talking about Bombas under my previous videos,

they actually do donate so much and I'm so
grateful for that.

They've donated over 150 million items,
whether that be from their incredible socks

to their shirts, to underwear.

[in foreign language:] Hi everyone,

live-action Gabi back here

so I'm really excited to get my color
palette done,

even though I've pretty much
perfected it.

[in English:] Yeah, live-action Gabi will
be taking over for this section,

so hopefully she finds me some good
color analysts.

The first one we'll be looking at today
is That Girly Concept,

which is someone that we've seen a lot
of reels from today.

"That Girl Concept. We respect your
privacy.

All photos submitted for our services
are kept completely private and secure."

Okay and then just the website name again.

Above the website name, in case I forgot.

I like that you can really tell you're
getting a really premium service here,

because it says multiple times "important
notice: all sales are final-no refunds."

"Please note that we do not offer refunds
under any circumstances."

"Delivery time is a maximum of 2-3 weeks."

"Please be patient as we process orders.
There may be slight delays."

Oh my God, are you like in a lab doing
these?

"It's time to tap into your own pretty
privilege."

They're featured in an article.

[man:] Oh, you're gaming!
[Gabi:] Yeah, I'm gaming.

So this person was featured in an article
that won The Girly Concept or whatver.

[man:] What?

[Gabi:] So they're featured in an article,
but I'm trying to see what the article

is saying about this page.

But so far it's just like glazing Sydney
Sweeney for like a few paragraphs.

And also very large images.

[man:] Of her breasts.

[overlapping chatter]

[Gabi:] They need to shrink these pictures
a little bit.

Wait, so, I have to pay-

so this journalist hired them to do the
same thing, and they just-

this is just FaceTune, is it not?

I can give myself a makeover in FaceTune.
It's just an app.

I think I can do this to myself for free,
I think.

First of all, they made her face slimmer
and nose slimmer, also,

but this is supposed to be what you can do
like with your natural features, is it not?

"Without changing my features with botox,
filler, or surgery."

Within an hour- within 2-3 weeks?

Okay, so they gave her a haircut,

gave her snatched collarbones, okay.

Oh, so she actually got the haircut done
as well.

I do think this looks very good.

It sounds like she had a really good
experience, actually.

Okay, it sounds like they liked it.

That hair suits her very well.

"Non surgical and surgical procedures."

Do we want her to-

what is a non surgical procedure? What
does that mean?

Let's do no procedures. I want to see
what they can do.

There's 42 pounds spent.

I don't know what the conversion is.

[cheerful music playing]

250 pounds?

Is there like a simpler package, perhaps?

Okay, this one's Created Colorful.

"We're here to tell you which colors look
best on you,

get you out of all neutral errrything,

and help you find yourself
in your closet."

She's like putting us all back in the
closet, like no please don't come out.

We're gonna make you go back in there.

180 dollars? Holy cow.

I'm gonna come back to that one, I think.

Jesus. I- this is 120 pounds and I think
that's even more in- hold on.

150 dollars! I'd be spending like a grand
if I did all these.

Alright, this is what I'm looking for.

This is another page that's posted a bunch
of like celebrity color analysis stuff.

"AI-powered style creator. Realistic AI
outfits."

I think this is gonna be the one for me.

I have to download this onto my phone.

They can track my loca- why do they need
my location?

You don't need to know where I am.

Enhance my style, feel more confident,
stand out in the crowd, experiment-

enhance me.

[cheerful music playing]

Jesus, even this is 10 dollars a week?

3-day free trial? Alright, I'll set a
reminder to cancel it.

Ooh, add photo. Okay, we get to do this
now.

Does it have like a color palette thing
that I can do?

"Your color type" yeah let's try that.

I don't like that it wants to access my
camera but I'm gonna have to.

[in foreign language:] Okay guys,

I guess I'll leave it to

the other Gabi Belle

to continue this process

as I actually don't have any authority
over the bank account.

I don't really know what the information
is.

She won't let me use that credit card

for some reason. I don't know why;

it's not like I've ever

done anything bad with it.

Bye-bye!

[in English:] I decided to go on Etsy

to find the rest of the color analysts,

and price had absolutely nothing to do
with it.

If you didn't know, you can find almost
anything from witch spells

to 200-year-old sourdough starter
on Etsy,

so this is really nothing out of the
ordinary.

So I thought maybe, just maybe I could
try this out myself

and see if these other analysises could
compare to this: my creation.

I also downloaded this AI app from a page
we looked at earlier,

and luckily it had a 3-day trial

followed by a charge of 10 dollars a week.

Pretty good deal, if you ask me.

And upon going through this,
my result was:

cool summer.

[Cool for the Summer by Demi Lovato plays]

I don't know what that means.

I decided to try the gold dress

to see if the warm colors would really
overwhelm my features,

and, oh.

Well that's that app.

I'm just curious to see if these are all
gonna come back drastically different,

or if I'll be proven completely wrong,

and all of them are gonna come to the same
objective conclusion

about my appearance and what metals look
good on me.

I mean I know inherently this isn't
objective, but

if we're gonna get scientific and in the
nitty gritty of what color palettes

actually suit people the best

by completely overanalyzing their
undertones and overtones

and what have you,

then I would expect all of them to come
back to the same conclusion

about what objectively looks best on me.

I got my first color analysis back.

It feels like I'm kind of paying someone
to like take a BuzzFeed quiz for me.

It's kind of fun, you know? Like,

what do you think what sign I am?

Am I giving off Libra energy?

Any astrology girlies in the chat, let me
know if I come off as my sign,

which is Libra.

I like understanding these things.
I don't know. Okay.

The one's from the 112-dollar Image
Consultant Maidenhead

and she thinks I'm a deep winter.

I'm so excited.

"Undertone: neutral, leans cool."

Very dark colors.

I'm kind of in the season of my life where
I kind of am enjoying the brighter colors.

I agree with the blues.

I think blues look really good on me.

And I love that, because blue is my
favorite color.

Here are the colors: white.

Do some people not look good in white? I
feel like white looks good on most people.

Powder blue. I love that color.

Corn. [laughs] Hey, you got any corn
colored tops I can borrow?

That deep purple I guess could look
good on me, but I don't really-

I'm not really resonating with the palette
I think.

I get that not everyone's gonna look good
in like trendier colors, but

I just don't think these are it for me.

"Your best neutrals." Dark navy has been
a solid neutral for me.

"The opposite colors work well together."

I don't wanna look like Barney.

I don't think I should put these colors
together actually.

I think I would try to go for the
opposite.

"Lip colors." No.

"Your best metals." Silver, that's so
interesting.

Cuz I've always found that golds look best
on me, in my opinion.

But except for these silver earrings.

"Gold can be worn lower down or in small
pieces."

Okay, yeah, that's fair I guess.

"Rose gold." I did get rose gold glasses
and I do think rose gold looks good on me,

excuses me for being like very 2015.

So I guess I am already wearing this
palette, right?

Like rose gold, silver, and this shade of
powder blue.

The sweater's black, so I'm already
kinda killing it.

Everybody knows I'm killing it.

Everybody knows I look good in rose
gold.

Everybody wants to know.

I think this is the 17 dollar one from
Etsy,

so let's see these results.

"It's clearly a disharmonious combination
between cool and your features."

"The cool ones make your skin look dull
and botchy."

"Whereas warm ones make your skin look
bright and more even."

Okay so so far I've gotten

that I'm cool toned and neutral toned.

And now they're saying that I'm warm
toned.

Okay "we can see in the above metallic
draping

that golds are much better for you
than the silvers."

So fuck that lady that said that I looked
better in silver jewelry, I guess.

That- she sucks.

"Your eyes are deep, warm brown with an
earthy undertone."

I guess that's one way to say poop brown.

"You also have a flower pattern?"

What?

Is that why she needed a close-up of
my eye pattern?

I don't- I didn't know that you had
different patterns in your eye.

I thought that every eye was just like
different colors,

but I didn't know they were different
patterns that meant something else.

"You are a warm neutral undertone."

"This rules out cool-based seasons like
summer and winter."

Of which both I got results back for.

Also I didn't think summer would be cool-
based.

Summer, to me, in my head, is like very
warm.

So I guess that's wrong.

"Deep autumn and deep winter are the only
seasons that match this level of depth."

Wait, I thought you just said we didn't-

I thought you just said it wasn't winter.

"This rules out cool-based seasons like
summer and winter"

and then the next page you're saying that
I might be a winter.

I feel like they're being biased.

I feel like they see dark feautres and
dark hair

and immediately the only thing I can
be is dark colors that work on me.

"The spring colors are too bright and
overwhelm your complexion."

"Autumn enhanced your natural warmth,
making your skin look radiant and even."

I really feel like I'm getting back like
zodiac analysis, but I kind of love it.

"You are dark autumn."

"Your features are rich and intense,

meaning muted, dusty colors will dull you
down rather than enhance you."

I guess that's one way to describe my
features.

As intense.

I think these colors are pretty, and
I do think they compliment my

intense features [laughs].

Ooh, I got worst colors.

You want to know what my worst
colors are?

"White." [laughs]
[man:] Rip!

[Gabi:] Light blue, are you kidding me?

[man:] No, they're wrong.

[Gabi:] No, that's literally what the
other-

like, the hundred dollar one said I looked
best in.

Acid green? No Billie Eilish green for me.

[man:] Nah, I think a pantsuit

[Gabi:] An acid green like brat pantsuit?

[man:] Yeah. Like literally brat.

[Gabi:] I think I could pull off the acid
green pantsuit. I think they're wrong.

At the end of the day, I got two
out of four reports back,

until I sent a follow-up email to Girly
Concepts,

cuz that one was the one I was most
excited about.

A couple hours later, they replied with my
finished report.

And they typed me as deep autumn,

actually matching one of the Etsy
analysis.

And now, this is the moment you've all
been waiting for:

the makeover!

[laughs] Oh my God, dude.

This looks- I can't- I've been staring
at this side-by-side image of me

like every day for like at least 10
minutes trying to figure out why

this version of me looks so uncanny.

Like, it's not like they changed much at
all,

but this is not even close to what I look
like with makeup on.

Just in general.

I've been trying to figure it out, and I
think whatever AI program they used

maybe elongated my eyes a little bit?

And lowered my cheekbones? Cuz my
cheekbones don't sit that low on my face,

and I think that makes it a little
uncanny.

And maybe the makeup blush is also kinda
dragging my face down a little bit.

I also found it interesting that they
made my hair also that

exact same light brown-ish color that they
make every one of their makeovers.

But this was exactly what I was
looking for:

a true FaceTuned masterpiece.

Though, it doesn't really hold a candle to
my edit, I would say.

I had some trouble with the FaceTune app
doing my hair,

so I'll just take care of that real quick.

They also gave me outfit suggestions.

If you're wondering what the fuck deep
autumn means, it's just warmer colors,

to my understanding.

But now it's time to put this look to
the absolute test,

as I perfectly recreate this makeup on me.

Minus the hair, because I didn't have time
to do that,

and I didn't really want chunky
highlights.

And what was interesting to me is
that some of my best colors

they definitely nailed it.

I do think this yellow usually looks
good on me.

I don't think there's a right and wrong
answer,

but what was interesting is that my worst
colors were some of my best colors,

according to my hundred-dollar report.

Outfits include like soft, classic,
smooth.

You know like there's a lot of words like
clean, soft, shaped garments,

and stuff that really cinched the waist a
little is what they were suggesting.

Which, I definitely do agree with for my
personal body type,

but here is the yellow outfit. [laughs]

God damn it I was so uncomfortable, I'm
not gonna lie.

I think it's cute, don't get me wrong.

It's cute, but I really don't think this
is me,

and I think this was a really interesting
perspective that I haven't really

felt in a long time, is feeling
uncomfortable in my clothes,

because I seek that so greatly in my
clothing.

Just like feeling comfortable not only in
the fabric and whatever,

but like the style itself felt so not me.

And I also think I don't know if it was
just the lighting or whatever,

but I do think this shade of yellow
actually kind of washes me out.

I think it's a little overpowering.

I think in the past, when I was a bit more
tan

I think it worked a little better,

but right now I'm kind of pale.

So then, to really put this to the test,

I put on one of my worst colors, which
is simultaneously one of my best colors,

according to someone else,

and this outfit fucking eats. I love this
outfit so much.

You cannot tell me otherwise. It's so
cute. I love this color on me,

and I love this color in general.

I do think this outfit does also follow
the guidelines of kind of

cinching my waist a little bit, since it's
a two-piece with a cropped top.

But yeah, this has been a really really
interesting journey,

as someone who fashion is a bit
foreign to.

I have a really hard time grasping some of
these concepts and holding on to them.

So I got two people typing me as deep
autumn, which are warmer colors,

and then dark winter,

and then then AI app that typed me as
cool summer, which are cooler tones.

So yeah, they all came back different,

and there's a lot of overlap in them,
don't get me wrong,

but at the end of the day, I just kind of
felt like

eh, I mean like yeah, I do look
good in navy.

I'm sure this is a way better and more
in-depth process if you go somewhere

in person to get your color palettes done,

and seeing it in real life obviously is
a lot more different than me

sending in a picture.

It's not like creators are giving bad
makeup tips,

but like if you just remember that one
size does not fit all

when it comes to fashion and makeup and
hair,

be wary of general tips for round faces,
slim faces, et cetera,

because you have unique features on top of
your face shape

or whatever they're trying to tell you-

or hooded eyes, makeup for hooded eyes,
et cetera.

And it can get really confusing to know
what tips and products actually work for you,

and it's so easy for me, and probably
other people,

to get really really overwhelmed by this.

I mean it's just kind of at the end
of this,

yes it is extremely overwhelming, but just
take what you need, leave what you don't.

There are some good gems in there.

I found some really cool videos, but you
don't have to follow every trend, okay?

"I wish this was back in style,
so I could-"

you can just do it. You can just do
whatever you want.

No one's forcing you to do anything.

But it can feel that way, so I get it.

I don't care how many times you comment or
say that I look and dress like a grandma,

I like it. You guys will see the vision

once I get this shit down,
it's over for you. It's over.

I'm sure that the color analysts would
agree with me, too,

that this is all subjective, and their
reports and assessments of my face

are just suggestions.

But it just goes to show how much of this
is personal preference.

So obviously, no one's forcing you to pay
people to tell you how to be pretty,

but I'm saying social media as a whole
makes you feel like

there's an endless stream of other people
telling you how to be pretty.

It's gotta be how you like yourself to
look.

And honestly I can see how these are help-
ful when you're kind of bored of your look

and you kinda wanna change something up,

but it's really hard to look at yourself
and tell you how to change,

it's almost kind of nice to have a third
party kind of step in and be like

"I think you'd look really sick in this,
actually."

You know, let's just relax a little.

I think the moral of the story: we should
all just relax a little, I think.

[man:] Relax, G.

[Gabi:] Anyway,

I was nominated by Pinely to shout out
some channels that I really like,

cuz why not? I think this is part of
a pyramid scheme

that JSchlatt did. I don't know.

But, I got nominated to shout out
some other channels that I like,

so I freaking will.

First we have up Nicky Reardon,

one of the most intelligent people
on the internet

when it comes to like brand analysis and
music. I love all the commentary.

You saw a clip of his earlier in this
video, he's so well-spoken,

I love listening to him talk. Same with
Kayla Says,

or as I dubbed her: Kayla Slays.

Just every one of her videos I love
hearing her yap as well

about beauty, about celebrities, about
music, also.

Same thing with Josh Dare, he kinda-
if you're kinda the more

"I wanna put something on"

and there's yapping and he's just talking
about some stuff that he likes,

definitely go check him out. An extremely
talented muscician.

So yeah, there are some channels you
should check out,

and I'm supposed to nominate more people,

so I will nominate Chad Chad.

I also nominate Chris James and
HTHAZE. And Roomie, fuck it.

Why not? Let's nomiate Roomie.

Okay, comment down below what color
I should dye my hair.

Don't do that, I'm not gonna- not gonna
do it anyway. [laughs]

But who knows, maybe I'll lighten my hair.
We'll see.

I've been thinking about it, I've been
toying around with the idea.

Alright, I'm fucking tired of this shit.
Bye.

[man in video:] Relax, G.
