do like for families not really personal classes homeschooling and and all that so you did this for a while do you get paid okay I was not in the salon at the moment yeah all right so you had to go through I didn't go to any school all right due to passion or something all right so you're just watching people all right how would you define makeup makeup is a good thing it okay it gives someone confidence you know when you're doled up can you just feel your something doled up is the time you use uh after you make your makeup so you're doled up yeah oh I learn new things every Tuesday on my morning so if you'd like to get doled up she'll be sharing uh social media handles in a few but white 54 channel on twitter white 54 underscore channel on instagram and white 54 on facebook or it's very more it is the way to reach us uh white 54 uh white hashtag white in the morning rather and entrepreneurship Tuesday at the hashtags you're going to use on social media to interact with us so dole up yeah so you're in the business of doling up people yeah yeah all right I like this so makeup gives you that self-confidence yeah you say uh what else did you say about makeup the self-esteem you know you just feel you're good you just feel beautiful self-esteem and the rest of them so okay to start with as you can see I don't have any makeup on myself so it has to start with you you have to accept you the natural you are because okay good mirror is so beautiful we don't have to put makeup to look beautiful exactly so it's not about makeup for you to be beautiful you have to start with yourself all right love yourself first before you even go to makeup all right makeup is there to enhance your beauty not to like change you completely it's to enhance your beauty one of them uh make up the false advertising uh okay I have been a victim my hubby doesn't like makeup at all okay it's so funny you see that well represented yeah yeah exactly so he doesn't like makeup at all okay initially we used to fight fight first when I was starting makeup I had to do myself makeup so as they can show people what I do and at least they can demonstrate myself I yearning my work on myself it was not easy because he couldn't like pick it he's like okay no I just don't like you doing this abcd xyz but at the end of it he came to like okay it's okay yeah to understand it but when we're going maybe for family out or something I'm not my natural role yeah you're totally natural yeah because it suits the hubby well you just want to have you on these particular things exactly all right I like that so uh you remember starting out yeah you started out working for someone or you went straight into happening okay I started working in a beauty shop okay I was working for someone that is I was being paid yeah so what what inspired me to go out there as a makeup artist I worked for like three years for someone selling makeup then it was selling and applying selling and apply at the same time so you know you have to apply someone to buy so you you have to apply them these it's like if they like they buy so that's what I was doing and I was doing it for free then I was being paid by the company the company which is supplying yeah exactly all right how much capital did you start with and how did you raise the capital okay they started they used to pay me at 15 000 per month yeah so what inspired me actually uh to like be a makeup artist instead of making business for people is okay one day I just woke up took a book I started like writing what I sell every day I could see I sell a lot of cash like maybe a hundred k in a day when it's both markets exactly in terms of and that is beauty alone you do the lipstick the foundations and all all about the makeup stuff nothing else why so I say to myself if I can make a day like more than 50 or to 100 and these guys are paying me 15k monthly you understand there is a description and it's my work selling because I have to talk to them I have to demonstrate to them then they buy so this is a good thing and I'm doing it so well so why why don't I do my thing for myself you understand so I invested on makeup I started with with vitokidogokidogo I didn't do so much so I can say a budget of like 10k that's what I started with yeah small smaller and then you started how did you get your first glance or you got them the same way you used to get your plans while selling the makeup so you used your same same clients who have stood by me till now they have me who I am today wonderful we have some pictures on the screen right there of people you have worked with and you make them look so so gorgeous wow this is beautiful yes so tell me what is happening here okay sometimes I do readings so this is a wedding yeah all right so these are the wedding clothes or these are just the ones all right oh it's in form of culture yeah all right thank you for the knowledge yeah for those of us who might get married sometime in future all right so I can see different skin tones yeah on these on this you can take me back to the the previous picture please I can see different skin tones but this is also a beautiful one but please take me back to that one yes I can see different skin tones on different people yeah does this define the direction the makeup is going to take yeah sometimes it does depending on the skin itself sometimes you you may find it it has a problematic one maybe some acne spots or something so yeah but by the time you're done with the eyebrows doing the eyes you have something in mind okay she's supposed to use this to use this to use this so as you can cover so when you just look at somebody not tell someone when you see this phase you have to use it subconscious all right so when you see somebody's face from the color to the facial structure you know exactly what you're going to do with that exactly what if somebody comes up with a request and tells you I want you to do my makeup this and this way oh let's do that because okay sometimes you find someone says okay I know I'm dark but I don't want to really look so dark but you see sometimes it's your work online you can't make someone look so brown and maybe she's not have to like you know you will have to find somewhere in between and you see you can't argue with a client so you have to find a way that she has to be satisfied and at the same time you you're okay with the makeup all right that was going to be my next question if you ever get people telling you I want to look lighter than I actually look how does this make you feel as an African woman sometimes I advise someone I tell you I tell them okay all I can do maybe you can do the contour the contours means you just highlight the center part then the other parts has to look like the same yeah at least to go yeah yeah all right I like this picture right here it's uh this is a photo shoot right yeah it's a photo shoot studio photo shoot yeah so you are called in for this uh to do the makeup and then she does the shoot yeah so I'm guessing this you're contracted and paid exactly so say I'm I'm a solo I'm a solo person looking to get a photo shoot at a studio lady like this one how much should you charge me power okay it doesn't okay um it doesn't matter how many hours gonna stay with you because I'm gonna do your makeup like in the next like 30 35 40 minutes and I'm out so it's your role to do the shoot all right so yeah it's not about the hours but if you need me more maybe for a day or something that depends on what you're doing all right yeah what are some of the craziest requests you've got from clients apart from I want to look lighter than I'm actually sorry like you're a request to me I'm crazy crazy like people come around you and tell you I want to look lighter not like a light kiasi and tell me another crazy request from a client so the others they just look at your photo then they just take a photo or rather they take a photo from somewhere they want to look like the same or they want to look exactly like another person but you see we are different so they're like you see the Nigerian makeup this makeup is so nice I want to make sure totally different it's your role to talk to your clients convinced them to them nicely exactly makeup at the end of the day business has to be done I like that all right you've worked with quite a number of celebrities yeah I'll pick two yeah the list is endless I will be posting them on social media or on social media which is going to be telling us in a few but number one how was it working with Piera McKenna Piera is an easy woman she's easy to like interact with she's a good person I can say she has an attitude on being she's an inspiration to young girls like us out there yeah being a mother and everything exactly right and how is it working with Lady JD Lady JD was kind of so down at the same time not so so you can't tell so much about JD but you share a culture yeah kind of all right I like that so on to our next we have another picture on screen this is also another photo shoot this is quite interesting what is happening here okay we were doing African inspiration shoot we wanted to accessorize more of African taberns and stuff to present African culture all right you've done the cover of true love magazine yeah a couple of times yeah how did you get this due because there are so many makeup artists out there were like if I get the cover of true love I've made it in life to be honest I don't know what to tell you but I just got a call like it's a referral okay in our industry it doesn't like you don't it's not that you go searching for clients okay the better you are with the business the way you handle that's the way you trend you understand give you referrals okay for me to get to the true love magazine satisfy your clients yeah so you can get referrals as much as possible all right it's about your personality the way you do work the way you relate that's it yeah all right so you've got a call went for a meeting did you have to present a proposal or something no no no no actually the CEO called me herself Kate Odera called but I went to meet her I was so excited and I'm like oh my goodness my dream is exactly this is a big thing yeah that's it nothing else I didn't write nothing and she was so confident with me she okay she told me that she's been looking uh yeah me following me on my page and all and sing my work that's it all right I like that so uh she got impressed with the work as well yeah so your work is speaking I guess yes what do we're doing a satisfied client is the best form of marketing that's how you get referrals yeah what we're doing herself so many pictures uh uh flying by uh and uh we can't talk about all of them what I'd like to know right now uh is uh what my jujax makeup yeah what are you dealing in are you only uh making people uh are you darling people up or you're also dealing in makeup products or beauty products okay what I normally do so far maybe that will be my next project dealing with the selling makeup actually but since I used to work in a beauty shop I had interest in skincare somehow so I know about skincare so when I gave that client who has a problematic uh like skin sometimes I advise what to use I have that and I have that knowledge that I can tell you what to use and it works for you thank you very much for bringing that up would you share some knowledge with us on how maybe you can deal with acne on your face acne sometimes is ammonia yeah so what you normally do control your diet much take too much water okay um water is key yeah when you when you have acne yeah then check your diet acne mostly is uh kind of brought by too much cholesterol sometimes you can tell yeah so when you do that all right so skincare routine means washing your skin yeah exactly in the morning yeah and before you sleep yeah uh drinking so much water yeah and reducing cholesterol yeah no chicken for you if you have take too much vitamins take so much vitamins vegetables uh we can't uh go away without talking about this particular picture it's different it's a different form of makeup and in what setting would you would you advise somebody to look like this because it's quite beautiful but I don't see somebody walk into the office like this what we normally do when you can see those two powders kando kando they are here the center and those are highlights yeah it's called contours contours or the same contours you are talking about yeah all right you can okay when someone has a round face or something you can try and slim the face looks a bit slim a bit okay by doing that so you agree with the brothers who say makeup is false advertising I won't put you on this spot too much about this you can share your social media handles uh with the viewers so that they if they like to get some services from you and uh get some tips from you and how to take care of their skin uh they can hit you so so my IG handle is at make up by mojuchaks and mojuchaks make up mojuchaks make up if you like follow me on that mojoo I think is a self explanatory yeah maybe you can spell the chucks for us CHAKS CHAKS yeah mojoo is MW AJU so mojuchaks yeah makeup by mojuchaks on instagram yeah mojuchaks make up on facebook yeah I love that so that is the way they can interact with you yeah I was instagram influenced or affected your business it has never affected my business but all my clients could tell me you know you know what mojoo because on facebook I'm doing so well I started with facebook actually and facebook okay I have a good line of I have a good line of market on facebook which I started with so my clients could tell me where you know what um like IG it's one year old right now oh it's one year old oh that's why you say it hasn't had an effect on your business as much yeah but facebook you get clients but being one year old now I think it has done something yeah at least I have like 3000 and or and something followers yeah are they predominantly female your followers mostly yeah because it's beauty it's all about it's all about beauty uh the last question of the day before you speak a a wide of inspiration to the to the queens out there is that makeup for men so uh when I used to do tv I used to do makeup for men and when I used to do the series I have worked with the nene shows I used to do men so okay there are there are no makeup specifically for men they're the same same makeup that we use we use on men but we know how to use them oh it's just how you use them exactly it's not what you use there's no specific take a moment all right I figured that out thank you very much for coming through mojoo but you can't be without sending a a word of encouragement or your word from your experience something just tells something to the queens out there we're watching you somebody wants to be a makeup artist like you or somebody who wants to try something just out of the norm and uh do them do it by themselves okay it keep pushing have passion be be that person that this is where I want go for it never give up okay it may not be good today tomorrow and the day after tomorrow but try me after sometimes it's gonna give you what you want yeah so always keep pushing keep pushing that's my wide keep pushing that's the keyword yeah exactly and I like what you said earlier about uh how an impressed client is the best exactly yeah because you get uh recommendations you get recommended uh in other places as well that's how you got to be all the referrals if you get a call try me I've been referred to you by I've been told by uh yeah those are the things that trends in my business all right uh um there's a question coming in from the viewers I'm told uh somebody wants to know uh would you recommend uh makeup products or beauty products made in Kenya don't uh mention a specific brand or do you use uh products made in Kenya by chance yeah I normally do because I what I believe in if they are legit and genuine we supposed to to support our fellow Kenyans before we go out there so they're those good brands how do you know the difference between legit and genuine don't mention any brand please okay okay out of my experience no I've done those legit makeups from US UK and all so I have that knowledge that you can see plus the pricing yeah the pricing is always a factor exactly don't go for cheap yeah your skin is very important exactly uh it's what people see the first thing people see yeah all right send some shout outs uh who would you like to anybody who has helped you get this far okay uh I would love to say this this this one chick we used to struggle together she's called Nemo Lin Saki yeah we struggle together she's my inspiration till today she pushed me to be the person I am today I'm so grateful all right wonderful thank you
