00:06My first memory of SZA is one of my really good friends, Sydney, trying to convince me to actually
00:14listen to SZA. She just makes music for girls like me. Like, you're cool, but you're not like
00:19girly, but you're not like full-on tomboy. You're just like carefree black girl vibes. When she was
00:24performing Z in Soho somewhere, and I was like a freshman in college, and the same
00:30friend, Sydney, was like, we have to go. And I'm like, I can't go, I have class. She was like,
00:35fine, I'm
00:35going. So she went, and me and my other friend went to Dover Street Market. So we were coming from
00:40Streetwear, and the elevator stops at 2, and the elevator opens, and it's SZA. And I'm just like,
00:48that was it. That's all I, I didn't say anything. I blew it. But if I could meet her
00:54again, I, I think of something. I think of something. I'd say something other than silence.
00:59Before we get into the transformation, don't forget to subscribe below.
01:06This first look is from 2014 when SZA is performing at the Pitchfork Music Festival.
01:14For her makeup, her base is minimal, and her lids have a medium brown eyeshadow. And the inner
01:19corners are highlighted with a shimmery white and gold eyeshadow.
01:29SZA's hair is curled and teased out. It's pulled back into two pigtails with
01:34gray scrunchies. Her eyes are finished off with bold, fluttery eyelashes. She's wearing a
01:43nude brown lipstick. Freckles are drawn across her nose and cheeks.
01:53Oh, this is like if SZA was a Bratz doll. The freckles, of course, are super SZA, but just like,
02:01this hair is a moment. I'm living for this. This is great. Just walking into work like,
02:07hey, R29s, it's poppin'. It's me. You know, your dog come to life. Here to shine. Bring the SZA vibes.
02:15It's great.
02:19The second look is from the 2016 Pemberton Music Festival.
02:28This is a very simple look. SZA's base is lightly contoured. For her eyes, she has a white eyeshadow
02:34winged out, and she's wearing a fluffy set of eyelashes.
02:54For her hair, it is an orange-red, and it's curled and teased out. She is also wearing a nude
03:00lip in this look.
03:13Oh, my God. Who knew I could be, like, red? The red hair is just amazing. Like, amazing.
03:22It's like 80s vibes, but we're like shouting out SZA. I feel like it's very accurate.
03:34This last look is from the 2018 Met Gala. The theme was Heavenly Bodies, Fashion, and the Catholic Imagination.
03:42SZA looks very regal and dreamy. Brown eyeshadow is dusted into her crease with a silver glitter on her lids.
03:49She has a winged liner and a full set of lashes. There is bright gold eyeshadow on her inner corners,
03:55and for her base, she has a warm blush and contour.
04:03Her hair is curled and draped around her shoulders. She has soft bangs and two braids that frame her face.
04:28There are two gold tears dripping down her cheek.
04:36To top off this look, SZA is wearing a halo crown.
04:45Oh, my gosh. This is amazing. Look at this crown. Get into this eye makeup, though. And the tears are
04:56so perfect.
04:58Just like, you know, your not-so-average black Madonna. I came to slay. It doesn't get any more real
05:04than this.
05:05The dress is perfect. The hair, the makeup. This is a look. She's put together. She's ready to go.
05:10This look definitely has my heart. Like, yeah, the pigtails, unforgettable, but this is just like, you can't top this.
05:16It doesn't get any better. It's like, this is like when someone's like, I care. No, I don't. I'm sorry.
