 It's really hard because people now get into it thinking of money and once you get into it thinking of, the money is there, it's good, but if that's the only thing that's driving you, you'll get tired. Okay, all right, guys slap us with some pictures now. We are ready. We are ready. Slap us to those special effects and please don't freak out. It's just makeup. Hashtag is why in the money. Why does this look so amazing? Oh my gosh, please walk me through this. That was a first paint cheater kind of situation. That was the beginning of my career. Even when I look at it now, I'm like, really? Like why? It's not about kumoka. It's the growth. Like when you look at your work back in maybe four or five years ago and you're like, no, why did I do that? I should have done this instead of doing that. I love seeing my growth, so it's fine. I am the presence of great people a lot. Thank you for in the morning, guys. And every time I hear someone and I say, I could have done better. I just know you're great. I know you're great just basically on that. Okay, slap us with another one. Slap us. How long did that take just FYI? That took, let's say, an hour. Okay, I have a type of blue. This is green. This is more like a nature thing. Is that you? No, just a random model. Okay, just out of curiosity, when someone wants this kind of makeup, what does the phone call sound like? Hi, I want to look green. They'll call you. They'll tell you, I want to do a shoot that entails one, two, three. Can I know your rates? And I'm like, just send me a write up so that I know what exactly it is that I need to do. Because I can give you a quotation that is overpriced and maybe need something. Or I can give you a question that's under and the work that I'm required to do is so much. So I have to first read the script, then figure out how much product I'm going to use, time, energy, then I'll quote. Again, another sign and symptom of kwa moka. Give us another picture. And yes, strength of a woman to your tawkwe lo. Hashtag is why in a zi and money. I'm having fun. Are you having fun? And I'm learning something. Excuse me, why does that look so real? Like, unge nulisa unge samayo ni Photoshop, personally. Walk me through this. This is optical illusion. I like doing a lot of optical illusions. I'm just using paints to bring something into life in the form of 3D. So you look at it and think, is this real or not? Ya, like I want to peel the fig and see what's going on. Ya, so I like body paint as well. I do a lot of body painting. So the second picture was a lot of body painting, the green girl. And this is also body painting. And this translates into how many hours of work? An hour. Ya. Sweety, me the first time I started doing makeup, it took me almost 2 hours. Just one hour and one eyebrow alone. And she's so efficient that she can do such magic in such a short period of time. Like the more you keep doing it, the shorter the time becomes. Like your eyebrows, you can do it in 5 minutes even if you've done it a lot. Hashtag is one of the one. Clearly we have a lot of people and by we I mean me. Hashtag is one of the one. Give us another one, give us another picture. A white 5 on Facebook, white 2 5 on Twitter. That looks so real. Tell me about this. Now that special effects. Ya, a lot of blood work. A lot of products use actually not really. It needs practice because there's some movies you've seen, Kenyan, Nigerian, where the wound looks like it's been placed there. So you need to do a lot of practice to make it look as realistic as possible. So you have to study anatomy. That's what we did in school. So real? Ya, muscles, bones, everything from head to toe. We had to know all those things. We had to, like you have to learn them. Because you can't just create a wound. You have to know what muscle is found there. You have to know the bone so that it looks realistic. Because if you have a cut that deep past the muscle, that means a bone will show. So what bone? How is the bone? How far is the bone? Are you going to show it? Yes, it's practice. I started off impressed but now I don't even know what. Like she's a scientist basically. Okay, do you have another picture? It's getting interesting. Hashtag is why in the morning. This is an aging photo. This is the same person. Okay, walk me through this process now. So this is the aging gig I was telling you I did last year. We had to age 60 people. It was difficult but it happened. I like how you're so composed. I can't even imagine what was going on. No, because it was just out of... So many things went wrong. Let me just put it like that. So many things went wrong. Because the products I was supposed to use, they were coming from the States and then someone forgot them there. So I had to improvise. Look at you doing a good job. Okay, another one. Like DJ Khaled. Hashtag is of why in the morning. And before we leave, of course you are going to tell me about your product line. Okay. Just tell me about it now. I decided to start this product line because of product unavailability in Kenya. For me, I have to order my things on Amazon because we can't find them in Africa. Let me just put it like that. And even if you do, they are overpriced. So I usually just have to ship in my products. So I just decided okay. So Mipo keep asking me do you have this, do you have that? And I'm like I don't, I have to ship. I just said oh wait, I can actually start my own thing, make my own blood, sell it. So that's how I sell it, make my own blood, sell it. Shipt in a lot of silicone and just repackaged and started selling. So that actually helps people who are in the industry get access to products easily. So it's all about just trying and error. Guys, are you as impressed as I am? Like not only does she know what she's doing, she actually knows the human body. Like she's intricately involved with her passion. And not just that, she now also provides products so that people in the industry can thrive just way. These presidential awards, who are they giving to? Can we give her one? Mr. President, good morning. I know you watched the show and we are glad but we would like you to honour her in some type of way. By we again I mean me, I'd like you to. And I mean it by the way. Okay, muchocha for a living, clearly. But I really do mean it. Like I'm... Senjeu umeni pres. Like I feel now like I want to start my own station and just start another media house and start funny wobasi to chase evil. Okay. And now, has COVID-19 affected your craft? And how? It has because of filming. We have to film like if you're shooting a movie or a TVC or... So the works were not coming in because again the curfew and everything. So yeah it did affect even in terms of the school and most of my students are kids who still live with their parents. So they told ya matatu, kumakpanda matatu. So like I want to come but my mom says I'm like it's okay, let's just wait for COVID to die whenever it is it will die. And then you can pick it up from there. What does being a student mean? Is it rigorous? Like do I have to be there every day, Monday to Monday? No, it's Monday to Wednesday but the days are flexible. It's three times a week. So whichever day you choose which is not the weekend it's fine. Yes Monday to Wednesday five hours. So it's not like at your whole day thing where you have nine to five now. So we start at eight by one you're done. It's flexible really so if you're available on Friday we can do Friday, if you're available on Thursday we can do it on Thursday, Monday. Does it involve also learning anatomy or is it just you know. No it's the basics because I tried to I tried to teach like everything that I felt people should know but then if you put that in terms of the fee Kenyans being Kenyans we like three things. Exactly. So I just told myself okay let me just compress everything and just teach the basics that if you're called on set they call it that things people also don't like thinking too far they'll call you for cuts a bruise, ganchot wound aging you know those things so I'm just like okay so those are the basics that I teach. Imagine if you were in Nigeria and then someone has been shot in the head but they're still moving how much money would we make? I love it. Okay so we have a couple of our pictures ready and set so slap us slap us what is that? That was it was more of beauty makeup I did a collaboration with my friend she does jewelry so she's on who did the head piece and then I did the makeup and the chest situation Nikiwa moka na zoku pugi asim I'll pay everything. And supporting black people does not mean calling them for job and asking them for discount we together, thanks. Hashtag is why the money. Slap us with another one. Another one.
