00:00Do you also like Gillian Ward's angelic look?
00:04And the Diwata vibe of Marielle Pamintuan?
00:07Fierce!
00:08Slay if you want to slay, right?
00:12The aura of the content creators,
00:14Vy Cortez, Kong Velasquez,
00:16Genela Tungginay,
00:18Prince Adrian Dagdag,
00:19Kat Melendez,
00:20and Rye Armenta,
00:21achieved!
00:23I will use makeup to be presentable in front of the students I will be teaching.
00:34It will also help if I have makeup or photoshoot to boost my confidence.
00:39Makeup artist, photographer, hair stylist, are you ready?
00:44Just sit back and relax because here they are!
00:54From the studio, makeup, wardrobe, camera, and set up,
00:59the imagination with the magic of touch is created by 26-year-old Haji
01:04and 27-year-old Lennie.
01:08I started being a makeup artist when I was in high school, 2014.
01:12I really like to participate in competitions in our school like cosplay competitions,
01:17poster making contests, and I am a member of the journalism in our school which is editorial cartoonist.
01:24Because of her love for arts, Haji studied makeup.
01:28When she was competing in hair and makeup in school,
01:30her hair training was also there.
01:32So she taught me what she knows.
01:34I was the one who did her hair when she had events at weddings.
01:38Haji and Lennie had almost the same fate in life.
01:41Haji's family moved to another house and he also experienced living with others.
01:46Then I thought, why not? I can do it too because
01:49At that time, I was about to graduate from high school
01:52and I didn't have financial support from my parents to send me to college.
01:57Growing up, my dad was in prison and my mom had no job.
02:02Hi guys!
02:04So for today's episode,
02:05They entered as content creators.
02:08There were makeup competitions,
02:10you have to make a video while doing your own makeup.
02:13That was my way of searching on social media.
02:18Lennie also got to know more about the makeup transformations they do.
02:22Until there was a TikTok,
02:25that's where I started.
02:26I just did cute makeup at first,
02:28then I just did lipstick.
02:30Haji and Lennie both graduated from the course of Office Management Systems.
02:34Because of being discarded,
02:36even during the pandemic, they kept making money.
02:39She took pictures of me,
02:41then I posted it on Instagram and Facebook.
02:43Then there are brands that like my pictures
02:46and they approached me to promote their products.
02:49Haji and Lennie used the products of some brands to make a living.
02:54Because of this, they saved up to build a small studio.
02:58It's really small and hot because we don't have an air conditioner.
03:01That was our struggle because we were ashamed because our clients are hot and there's no parking.
03:06Haji and Lennie pursued to earn a lot for their dream studio.
03:12But because Haji's profession is different,
03:15his wealth and Lennie's relationship were judged.
03:18I really gave up on makeup artistry
03:20even though that's not the standard that men see in their jobs.
03:25I didn't think about it because I can't study if I listen to what they say.
03:29We're at the point where we need to break the stereotype.
03:32We need to break the toxic masculinity.
03:34I know and I know who Haji is.
03:38You're a man when you get to know him.
03:40You can make everyone tremble.
03:42You can shout that you love him.
03:44And you can stand up for everything.
03:47Today, Haji and Lennie are visiting the studio for the first time.
03:50They're visiting the Filipino Nigerian model and influencer, Laura Jane.
03:54Will they be able to pull off their look?
04:03Laura is an aura.
04:06Laura is a makeup artist.
04:09My colleagues are so gentle especially with my hair and makeup.
04:14They never make me feel like they're covering my flaws.
04:20Of course, we won't let Laura do her job.
04:23It's time to meet Haji.
04:25Hello, Haji!
04:27Oh, you're the celebrity who does makeup for celebrities and vloggers.
04:35I saw your studio's picture, the video, it's so beautiful!
04:40The aesthetic, why did you think of that vibe?
04:42The vibe of our studio, we really want it to be minimalist, high-class, high-end.
04:46But it's not like you said it's high-end, it's a bit pricey.
04:50No, it's not. It's just right.
04:52But everything that the client needs, the convenience is what they like the most about us.
04:58Pause for a while. Are you ready for my version 2.0 look?
05:02Super glam, dark eyes.
05:04It's like a photoshoot for a supermodel.
05:06Like a Vogue.
05:08Vogue?
05:10So I just put on moisturizer
05:12so that our skin won't be powdery.
05:14So that our skin won't be dry.
05:18Applied primer.
05:19Applied lip balm.
05:20Then put on eyeshadow and eyeliner.
05:22Followed by foundation, concealer, and blush on.
05:26Attached eyelashes and mascara.
05:28Of course, you can't miss the contour and eyebrows.
05:32Lipstick on.
05:33And the wig.
05:34So that it's ready to go.
05:49Aurora Palacios.
05:51My niece, Sun, is inviting me.
05:55Now, I'm going to buy the Hacienda Palacios.
06:02What do you guys think?
06:03Can I be a Vida Contra Vida?
06:06So, Ma'am Susan, how are you?
06:07What do you like the most about my look today?
06:10Everything.
06:11Everything?
06:12That I feel so socialite.
06:16The hair is light.
06:17The makeup is light.
06:20There.

08:33if he was with his proud father.
08:36Thank you because in everything that happened in my life,
08:39I will not be this strong,
08:41I will not be this discouraged in life
