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.

06:21My peg is a strong heart evangelist, right?

06:55Haji and Lenny's construction cost 1 million pesos in their studio.

07:01they were able to recover it within 2 months.

07:04And now, they earn 500,000 pesos every month.

08:02They will just come here, bring their own stuff,

08:05and we can provide everything to them.

08:26the couple was able to found their own car

08:28and expand their studio.

08:31But Haji would have felt better

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

08:43if I did not experience all of this.
