IZZABELL Arcana lives a very pink lifestyle. The 23-year-old from DFW, Texas, describes her look as an amalgamation of early 2000s and Japanese Kawaii fashion - in all pink. Even Izzabell’s room is a reflection of this, decorated in the style of a Barbie doll house. Izzabell created her own fashion brand called Karousel Kouture - where she designs and makes pieces that embody the ‘Y2Kawaii’ and ‘doll’ style. Izzabell will be transforming out of the bubblegum Barbie style look and swapping the all pink aesthetic for basic beige, Izzabell told Truly: “Other looks are not pink and that's why they're boring. Everyone should wear a pink. You should wear pink. I should wear a pink. The whole world should wear pink honestly, it's a calming colour. It’s nice.” So how will she react when she sees herself in the mirror and how will her boyfriend, Daunte react to her transformation?

00:00Today, I'm transforming from bubblegum Barbie to basic beige.
00:04I wouldn't even consider beige a color.
00:07I don't do natural.
00:09We have beige shoes lord.
00:14If it's not pink, I really don't want it.
00:19Are you ready for the big reveal?
00:22I'm feeling very, what have I done?
00:27Oh, wow!
00:29I think Beyonce is going to freak out.
00:32Wow, this is different from the pink.
00:39I'm not good at being natural.
00:41My room style is more of a Barbie doll house.
00:44It's my little piece of dream house on this earth.
00:47And I love it so much.
00:49I would describe my style as being way too kawaii.
00:53It's a mixture of early 2000s fashion with like Japanese street style.
00:58And I mash it up and create a magamation of just pinkness.
01:01If it's not pink, I really don't want it, so.
01:04I have on my baby doll headdress that I made from my brand, Carousel Couture.
01:09So I love it. It's fabulous.
01:11With my super long lashes that can cool down the entire state of Texas if I blink hard enough.
01:16My fashion brand is called Carousel Couture.
01:19And it is the embodiment of the way too kawaii.
01:22These are a staple in my shop.
01:25These are way too kawaii earrings.
01:28This is Carousel Couture's original designer bag.
01:31And I love it so much.
01:33Today I'm stripping my bubblegum Barbie look back and going all natural.
01:37From pink princess to basic beige.
01:40I wouldn't even consider beige a color.
01:42I don't like the earth tone colors because I'm brown for one.
01:46And I don't want things to like blend in too much.
01:48I associate dark colors with like depression and anxiety.
01:52So I run from them emotionally.
01:54Hold on. What's this?
01:56Is this a track suit maybe?
01:59This is an outfit darling. This is a moment.
02:01It's not my moment but it's someone's moment.
02:05We have beige shoes lord.
02:11I'm not a big fan of just basic general looks.
02:16Give me some pizazz.
02:18I'm feeling nervous about today's transformation.
02:21But we're going to see how it goes.
02:24How are you feeling?
02:28Nervous but you know I've never really had just super natural makeup.
02:32So I just, I don't know.
02:34I don't know.
02:36It's going to be great I promise.
02:40So now I am drawing on her brows.
02:44I forgot I didn't have on any brows.
02:48Growing up I had a really rough childhood and I would only wear black.
02:53I'm not even sure why I was just kind of drawn to it.
02:56I was trying to find a color that would best represent happiness.
03:00And I discovered pastel pink.
03:03And I've kind of been addicted ever since to just pink.
03:06It's like an emotional shield in a way.
03:09That makes a lot of sense.
03:11So the makeup is going really good.
03:14I really like the natural eye shadow.
03:23Are you ready for the big reveal?
03:25Yes.
03:26I'm scared but I'm ready.
03:28I'm feeling very, what have I done?
03:32I do feel like I'm going to be surprised, shocked, befuddled, bewildered.
03:40Oh wow.
03:42Oh wow.
03:49Wow.
03:52I pull off this gold, brown, beige, khaki color.
03:57Not too bad.
03:59Look at my makeup.
04:01It's so pretty.
04:03I don't recognize myself.
04:05I don't feel like I look me glamorous.
04:07This is another person's glamorous.
04:10I feel normal.
04:11I feel like...
04:16I feel like people would see me in public.
04:21But not even notice me.
04:24I wear the pink stuff because I want to be noticed.
04:26But I want to feel like I'm controlling what people are noticing.
04:29I think Deontay is going to freak out.
04:31I can't wait to show him.
04:33I'm kind of nervous but excited at the same time to see this new transformation.
04:40I'm excited.
04:52Wow.
04:55This is...
04:58This is different from the pink.
05:02I like it.
05:03Really?
05:04Yeah.
05:05How do you feel about my makeup?
05:06Your makeup looks beautiful.
05:08I really like it though.
05:10It's something different.
05:12Again, it's casual.
05:14Do you have a preference?
05:16Or do you feel neutral either way?
05:18Neutral.
05:19Neutral?
05:20On both sides.
05:21If I walk out randomly, you'll be like,
05:23Oh, alright.
05:24She's beautiful in whatever she wears.
05:26This, pink, blue, whatever you wear,
05:29I'm going to love you to the end.
05:31Oh, babe.
05:34I'm immediately about to go change back to my clothes.
05:40My clothes.
05:41This is a cute fit.
05:42Whoever dressed this way, you got swag, you got taste.
05:45Just not me.
05:47It's solidified that I love pink.
05:51To the bitter end, that pink will be the color that I wear forever.
06:03I love you.
06:04I love you.
06:05I love you.
