Ready for some Middle Earth Acrobatic? *Terrific Feats of Athleticism* "oh my god" You ready to get weird? Hello! Coming at you with some more niche
content that you probably didn't ask for.. The world is a weird place right now, are
you tired of hearing me say that? I'm tired of saying it,
BUT I do feel the need to justify my actions when it comes to videos like
these... So admittedly I thought about making
this video months and months ago. I bought all the
supplies and i just never committed to doing it, and that is mostly
because makeup transformations don't do too great on my channel... but you know
what? Life is short, and if I want to dress as
an old wizard .... I'm going to do it M'lady So today,
I am turning myself into Gandalf You might have heard me say this before, but
some of my favorite transformations are ones that are just
super dramatic and render you unrecognizable. I-I just i just want to be an old man with a beard.... *sips* The way i'm dealing with my anxiety during all of this, is
making some weird-ass content and I warned you
on social media that I had plans to do some weird-ass content and
you basically were all like "YES, GIB" So i'm not saying you brought this upon
yourself but.... Eyhhh I'd like to formally apologize before i
even begin. So these supplies were just sitting in
my closet, waiting NOT to be touched, but i did get approached by a brand
called Book of the Month, which i figured is kind of the perfect
opportunity... .... to create a monster So before we get
started, and to talk briefly about Book of the
Month Here is Sponsor Rachel. *whoosh* Oh, hi Do you like reading? Do you also
like books of which to read? How's that for a pitch? Today's video and today's transformation is brought to
you by Book of the Month It is a subscription service, much like a
lot of the ones you see out there today. Every month they have a choice of five
books on their website and you choose one and
they send it to you in a lovely little box And what I liked about
the selections is that they seem to have a really diverse
selection of genres Book of the Month is the fastest growing online book service
in America, their mission is to help new and
emerging authors while simultaneously letting you discover
the books that you want to read. "You've Got Great Taste".... thank you A little box and a bookmark, we
love a bookmark! Good stuff, I feel like it's a really
exciting way to find new titles and new authors that you
normally wouldn't think of It's risk-free, of course, you can skip
months when you want you don't have to do every single month. Normally $14.99 per month but new members can get their first month for only $9.99 So for August the choices were: The Unraveling of Cassidy
Holmes, The Space Between Worlds, The Night Swim, Atomic Love, and The Death of Vivek Oji Sorry if i pronounced that wrong So yes,
if you did want to check out those books or check out book of the month
in general head to bookofthemonth.com and
you can use their August promo code to get your first month for 9.99! Thank
you so much Book of the Month for sponsoring this video,
and without further ado, Let's get back to it... *whoosh* Welcome back. So i'm going to show you all the materials that i got for this. First of all, this costume which i would say is
a cheap-ass costume but.... unfortunately my friends.... *pained noises* 'Twas not. Spent a little more money on
this than I would have liked... Officially licensed,
which is nice you know it's not like some ripoff name for Gandalf like... *uncomfortable silence and crickets chirping* The Charcoal Magician .... Not sure that was the one... okay. So this comes with the tunic, the robe, the belt, the bag,
and the hat Towel material?? I mean it's pretty heavy, so i would think that it's
like at least decent quality.... not the best Which is
how I live my life,so.. That is cheap looking, huh? Oh yeah... It's literally a towel. Garbage! Why do they charge so much for Halloween costumes? This is
pure trash Before I get started on the actual makeup transformation, I will be
doing some work on this. Put it up on my dress form and try at least to do
SOME weathering. Oh... Gandalf the Lifeguard I did get a wig, which is downstairs
which you will see later, I also got - I don't think you're ready for this - Um yep, I got a beard. This did not come
with a mustache portion so I think what i'm going to do is probably cut off the
sides and just kind of... you know what i'm saying... I, also, from the same site ordered eyebrows... they just gave me a
mustache. It says "man eyebrows", I don't believe them. What a world it would be if mustaches could just double as
eyebrows... Now in addition to all that I also got... *Poorly imitated Jaws Theme* I got a nose! I've never done a realistic
fake nose before. Last time i did a fake nose was for
Maks-o-Ween last year and my nose was running and you can't
breathe out of your nose... So all the snot - I'm so sorry - all the
snot just kind of comes out and like pools around the bottom... Absolutely
miserable. So it looks like this at least I can
kind of punch holes at the bottom and make it align with my actual nose. I'm
nervous this isn't gonna look great but I also feel like who cares?
Do it for the - For the "lulz" Art thou READY?? I don't think you are... So first things first, like i said we are going to weather this baby, so
let's give it a shot. I'll be honest i'm pretty nervous about
this, don't know if you've noticed but me and Sir Ian Mckellen don't share a lot
of facial features... so let's see what we can
do. Alright well things are about to get
really attractive, so prepare thyself.. *snap* I warned you. Why is it my neighbors are
always out on their front lawn when i'm doing videos like this? Also i feel a little bit like Voldemort in this tunic, I don't think the hair net quite helps. *Voldemort impression* Haaarryy... Pottah. Alright, back to business So I've got my basic tool kit here, which is my normal makeup,
some contour makeup, some pros-aide.. and so it begins Thankfully most of my face and neck is going to be covered with beard,
which is awesome because my skin's awful right now. So i suppose that's my beauty
hack If your skin is acting up just throw a
big ol' beard on it! I suppose I can start with like wrinkles.. *singsong* Don't look at me neighbors. Looking good... hey Beebee *smooch* You wanna see my fireworks? Please child, don't look in my window *sings to tune of 'Come to My Window'*
Don't loook in my winnnddow! Why am I so scary? Why do i look like
Palpatine? Something something, dark side Best I've ever looked. Help. Let's do some brows here. He ain't got time to get them groomed, He's got shit to do This was a bad idea... Everything's fine, everything's fine,
we're gonna fix it Look a little bit like
Gandalf and Diseased right now but uh... Let's add the nose. I didn't promise greatness here folks, I
just promised adequacy... should be the tagline of my
channel. Oh I don't like that, oh it feels weird *whispers to self* I look great... Alright, Mr. Gandalf let's see what does your nose look like? I looks like Squidward... Ahh..... ffffffffffffudge That's not right. Please don't look in here... Bulbous...
enough.... for you? *wink* Let's see if we can fix this a little - oops Can I like, stuff this? All the other wizards are
going to tease me: "Gandalf stuffs his nooooose" What have I done? Getting somewhere.... nice and bulbous. Not great I'm gonna try to add some
liquid latex around the edges. Oh that smells awful Why did you let me do this? Pardon me, I'm going to powder my nose I have regrets. I am so sorry Sir Ian Mckellen, this is
not what your nose looks like. It's not even attached. Cute. I'm gonna cut off the very edges, lil choppy-choppy Serious question, do you think i am
making Peter Jackson proud? *Listens* thank you. Is this gonna affect my mic? Okay and then the mustache.. Glorious, okay Gotta make those
cheekbones pop. What happened?? I'm now teaching you how
to voluminize your beard, you don't want that beard to
be see-through folks. hmm Oh.. I was gonna trim this but look how
beautiful! Come at me Saruman.. I'm gonna trim it just a little play "they're taking the hobbits to
isengard" *some random song plays* This-this is not what I wanted *"They're Taking The Hobbits to Isengard" plays* "Oh hi, is Rachel home?" "Have you shown Nick yet?"
No, let's go show Nick No comment? Just the Ushje? "Frodo, can't I be speechless? how pretty you look?" You think so?
Well... YOu, shall NOT, PASSSS. I'm over-heating... How does this look, good? No, FRODO. I will not trifle with such GAMES! We should get some video-
oh my god, oh my GOD FRODOOO *sings* Casual Tuesdays.. When I squint like this? "Fly, you FOOLS!" Well, this was this. I'll be completely honest it came out
better than I thought it would I wanted to do the thing, and i did the
thing and here we are. I'm so happy This sure was a journey, and
a journey that for 88.3% of the time - ehhh More like 96.4, I thought it was going to be a gigantic failure. Very much adequate.. I feel great, honestly. I feel confident Um, okay yeah so
from far away.. it looks good. Up close? not so much This hair kind of makes me feel like Thirst Trap Gandalf Would come with me to Mordor? I'm so
sorry Sir Ian McKellen The only thing that was gonna make me happy this week
was making some weird-ass content and so this is
what that was. If you're still here, congratulations Thank you Book of the Month for sponsoring this video, I will have
everything you need to know down in the description,
and of course use the code! And that is it, I love you - no it's a
Gandalf voice *horrible Gandalf impression* I love you whether you're new or old to this channel if you feel like sticking around, I
upload every Friday, we have fun here. and i will see you in my next video, byeeee! am i just like radiating?
translucent.... To talk about so -messup- to talk briefly Alright then keep your secrets..
