We get it

You're a makeup artist, not a video editor. You don't need to become one.

You can match a foundation shade in seconds and talk a nervous bride through her whole morning. But video probably felt like a different job: cameras, ring lights, timelines, cutting, captions, music. So it stayed on the "someday" list.

With jajavideo you write (or let AI write) what you want to say. That's it. The built-in director splits it into scenes, picks a visual for every sentence, adds a natural voice-over, music and animated captions. You don't need to be a good speaker or writer either. The prompt on this page writes the scripts from your expertise. You just check that the tips are right.

Why video works for makeup artists

Your clients can't see your work until they sit in your chair. A 40-second video fixes that.

People book a makeup artist they trust, not the one with the cheapest price list. Video lets them learn from you before they ever send a message.

Trust before the booking

Someone who watched ten of your tips already believes you know your stuff. The first message becomes a formality instead of a pitch.

You stand out in a crowded field

Thousands of artists post pretty photos. Very few post useful short videos regularly. Specific tips, posted steadily, put you ahead of most of them.

Show the invisible skill

Makeup is hard to see in a still photo. A short that shows why a primer matters makes your value concrete for a client who never thought about it.

Practice what you sell

Videos give you more places to be found: YouTube, TikTok, Reels, your Google Business Profile and your own pages. That is visibility, which is your whole job.

Add your name, your city or market, and who your clients are. Your details go straight into the prompt.

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini

You get 10 scripts, each teaching one specific makeup tip, each opening with a hook and ending with your name.

Check the advice like you'd check a client's skin

You're the expert. Fix anything that's outdated or not how you'd say it. Five minutes.

The format

Plain text, a Title: line, AAA between scripts

No scenes, no visual directions. Just what should be said. This is exactly what you paste:

Paste into jajavideo → Bulk
Title: Makeup tip: why your foundation turns orange by lunch
Ever put on foundation in the morning and by lunch your face looks a shade darker than your neck? That's oxidation, and it's usually not the foundation's fault alone. Most foundations darken slightly as they mix with your skin's oils and the air. Two things help. First, match the shade to your neck, not your hand, and check it in daylight, not under shop lights. Second, prep with a light moisturiser and let it settle for a few minutes before foundation, so the oils don't hit it all at once. A setting powder on the oily zones keeps the shift small.

Copy, paste, done

The makeup prompt: 10 expert scripts in one go

Fill in your details. The prompt updates as you type. Copy it into any AI chat and paste the answer straight into jajavideo.

Prompt for Claude · ChatGPT · Gemini
You are an expert short-form video scriptwriter and an experienced makeup artist. Write 10 scripts for faceless YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Reels for a makeup artist.

About me:
- Name or studio: [YOUR NAME OR STUDIO]
- City or market: online, no specific city
- My ideal clients: brides and wedding parties
- My focus: bridal and long-wear makeup
- Language of the scripts: English

Rules for every script:
1. Teach ONE specific, practical makeup tip that my clients can understand and act on. No generic ads like "Want a flawless face? Book me".
2. The first sentence is the hook: a common makeup mistake, a myth, or a real question my clients ask. It must keep the viewer watching past the first 3 seconds.
3. 90 to 130 words of flowing spoken narration (about 30 to 50 seconds). Plain language a client understands, short sentences. No jargon without a one-line explanation. No scene directions, emojis, lists or headings.
4. Include one concrete detail: a product type, a number, a technique name, a real situation.
5. Only tips that are accurate today. No guarantees about skin, allergies or results, and no medical claims. Tell viewers to patch-test new products.
6. End with this sentence: "Want a makeup look you can trust? Search [YOUR NAME OR STUDIO] on Google.". Write any website as words, for example "example dot com".
7. Each script covers a different topic. Mix mistakes, myths, client questions, quick how-tos, bridal makeup and skin prep.

Format (follow exactly):
- Start each script with one line: Title: [topic]: [hook]. The title is not read aloud.
- Then the narration as one paragraph.
- After each script, a line that contains only AAA.

Output only the 10 scripts in this format, nothing before or after. I will paste them straight into jajavideo.

Video 1 · Why your foundation turns orange by lunch

Read the script

Title: Makeup tip: why your foundation turns orange by lunchEver put on foundation in the morning and by lunch your face looks a shade darker than your neck? That's oxidation, and it's usually not the foundation's fault alone. Most foundations darken slightly as they mix with your skin's oils and the air. Two things help. First, match the shade to your neck, not your hand, and check it in daylight, not under shop lights.

Want a shade match you can trust? Search Lumen Makeup Studio on Google.

Video 2 · The 4-second blush placement that lifts the face

Read the script

Title: Makeup tip: the 4-second blush placement that lifts the whole faceMost people put blush on the apples of their cheeks, and then wonder why their face looks rounder than it did before. Blush placement changes the whole shape of a face. Instead of the centre of the cheek, start at the top of the cheekbone, near the ear, and sweep forward and slightly up toward the temple. Keep it soft and stop before you reach the middle of the eye. That upward line lifts everything. Cream blush works well for this because you can blend it with your fingers in seconds. One small change, and your face looks more awake. Want a blush shade that suits you? Search Lumen Makeup Studio on Google.

Video 3 · Why your wedding makeup is melting by the photos

Read the script

Title: Bridal makeup: why your makeup melts before the photosBrides often tell me their makeup looked perfect at the trial and then slid off by the afternoon. Almost always, the skin prep was too rich. On a wedding day you're warm, you're moving and you're emotional, so heavy cream on top of heavy cream has nowhere to go. Keep the morning routine light: a gentle cleanser, a thin moisturiser and a primer only on the areas that need it. Let each layer sit for a minute before the next one. Then use a long-wear foundation in thin layers and set only the centre of the face. Your skin does the rest. Want a wedding trial that lasts? Search Lumen Makeup Studio on Google.

Your makeup instinct applies here too

What makes a Short get watched

Think of it as colour matching for video. The title and first line are your base and your primer.

The first 3 seconds are your shade match

Open with the mistake, the myth or the client question. If the first sentence doesn't earn the click to keep watching, nothing after it is seen.

Title as Topic: hook

"Makeup tip: why your foundation turns orange by lunch" tells the viewer and the platform exactly who it's for.

One tip per video

Same rule as one product per step. Three tips in 40 seconds means none stays in the viewer's memory.

Help first, credit last

No "Want flawless skin? Book me!" openers. The tip earns attention. Your name in the last line earns the follow-up search.

Test like you test shades

Make the same tip with three different first sentences. Keep the hook that holds viewers and reuse that pattern.

More videos, more people who know you

You tell clients good skin prep takes time. So does an audience. You don't have to post daily, but the more useful videos you put out, the more potential clients learn your name. Make a batch in one sitting and schedule them.

Did you know? 10 million+ channels publish Shorts every day.

Think bigger

More than marketing: new ways to earn with video

When a finished video costs you a couple of minutes, video stops being a cost and becomes something you can sell.

Add "a video every day" to your bridal packages

Brides want reassurance, and most of them watch video before they book. Offer daily Shorts as an add-on: you write the tips with the prompt, jajavideo makes the videos, and you deliver them under your studio's brand. Commercial use is included on every plan, and on Unlimited you can put your own logo on the videos.

Example: 5 brides × 20 videos a month = 100 videos
Your cost on Unlimited: $27 a month in total
Your price: whatever 20 videos a month is worth to your clients

Video for salon partners

Give hairdressers and salons short videos to post on their own pages, with your name in the last line. They get content, you get seen by their clients.

Turn every look into a series

Paste one look breakdown into the prompt and get five scripts from it. Same work, many more places to be found.

Win new markets in their language

Clients getting married abroad? Make their tips in Spanish, Japanese or Arabic. jajavideo speaks 74 languages, so you can offer what most artists can't.

Consultations that sell themselves

Send a prospect a short video explaining the three things to fix in their routine. It's more memorable than a price list and it shows your work in seconds.

Never made a video before? Start here

Every question a first-timer asks, answered

You've never edited a video and never used a system like this. That's fine. Most people who use jajavideo hadn't either. Pick any question below. Can't find yours? Ask Jaja, our agent.

Getting started

I have never edited a video in my life. Can I really do this?

Yes. You never open an editing program, never cut anything and never touch a timeline. You paste text into a box, pick a voice, and press Generate. jajavideo does every video step for you: it splits your text into scenes, picks a picture or clip for every sentence, records the voice-over, adds music and puts animated captions on screen. If you can copy and paste, you can make a video.

What exactly do I need before I start?

Three things: an email or Google account to sign up, a few sentences about a makeup topic (or the prompt on this page to write them), and a few minutes. No camera, ring light, microphone, software, design skills or credit card.

How do I sign up?

Go to jajavideo.com and press "Continue with Google". It takes about 10 seconds. You can also sign up with an email address. No card is asked for.

What's the very first thing I should do after I sign up?

Make one test video before anything else. Open the dashboard, stay on the Single tab, and paste this:

Title: Makeup tip: foundation that matches your neck
Most people test foundation on the back of their hand, and that's why it looks wrong in daylight. Your hand is usually a different shade from your face. Test two or three shades along your jawline instead, look at them in natural light, and pick the one that disappears into your skin. That's your match. Want help finding yours? Search Glow Room Studio on Google.

Choose English and any voice, press Generate, and in a couple of minutes you'll see your first finished video. After that, everything else on this page will make sense.

How long until I have my first video?

Usually a couple of minutes per video. If many people are making videos at the same moment it can take a bit longer. You can close the tab: you'll get an email the moment it's ready.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Everything runs in your browser, on a computer or a phone.

Scripts: what the video says

What is a "script"?

Just the words the voice will say in the video. Nothing technical. For a 30–50 second video that's about 90–130 words, roughly one short paragraph.

I'm not a writer or a speaker. Who writes the scripts?

You don't have to. You have three easy options. One: copy the makeup prompt on this page into Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini, and it writes 10 scripts for you. Two: inside jajavideo, type one line like "a tip about blush placement for round faces" and press ✨ Write script. Three: ask Jaja, the script assistant, for ideas in plain words. Your only job is to read the result and make sure the makeup advice is correct.

What's the "Title:" line for?

It names your video so you can find it later. It is never read aloud and never shown in the video. Use the pattern Topic: hook, for example Title: Makeup tip: why your concealer creases.

Do I write anything about the pictures or scenes?

No. Write only what should be said. jajavideo's built-in director reads your sentences and chooses a matching visual for each one by itself.

How do I make people contact me at the end?

Make the last sentence your credit, for example "Search Glow Room Studio on Google." The voice reads it out. If you mention a website, write it as words, "glowroom dot com", so the voice says it correctly. Jaja can also add the ending for you if you tell it your studio name or phone number.

Can I fix a word or a sentence the AI wrote?

Of course. It's just text. Change anything before you paste it into jajavideo. If you notice a problem after the video is made, edit the text and make it again.

What if I run out of ideas?

Use the 30 ideas on this page, write down the questions your clients ask you in the chair, or reply to the AI in the same chat: "Write 10 more, completely different makeup tips." You can also paste one of your Instagram captions and ask for five scripts based on it.

Bulk: many videos in one paste

What is Bulk, in simple words?

Bulk lets you paste several scripts at once and get a separate video for each one. Instead of making ten videos one by one, you paste ten scripts in one go and come back to ten finished videos.

How does jajavideo know where one video ends and the next starts?

Put a line with only AAA between scripts. Each script starts with its own Title: line. Here is the smallest possible example, 3 scripts that become 3 videos:

Title: Makeup tip: blush goes higher than you think
Blush placed too low drags the whole face down. Smile, find the round of your cheek, and start your blush just above it, blending up toward your temple. Keep it soft at the edges. Search Glow Room Studio on Google.
AAA
Title: Makeup myth: mascara makes lashes fall out
Mascara itself doesn't make lashes fall out. Sleeping in it does, because the lashes get dry and brittle and break. Take it off every night with a gentle remover, and your lashes will thank you. Search Glow Room Studio on Google.
AAA
Title: Makeup tip: set your under-eye concealer
Concealer creases because it moves while it sets. Apply it, wait a minute, then press a tiny amount of loose powder under the eye with a small fluffy brush. Don't sweep, press. Search Glow Room Studio on Google.

Real scripts should be longer (90–130 words), but that's the whole idea: Title, text, AAA, repeat.

Where do I paste them?

In the dashboard, click the Bulk tab (next to Single), paste everything into the big box, choose the language and voice, and press Generate. All videos use the same voice and caption style.

Do I have to write "AAA" myself?

No, if you use the prompt on this page. It already tells the AI to put AAA between scripts, so you copy the AI's answer and paste it as it is.

I forgot the AAA lines. What happens?

If each script starts with its own "Title:" line, jajavideo still splits them correctly. AAA is simply the safest way to be sure.

Can I mix languages in one Bulk paste?

It's best to paste one language at a time, so every video gets a voice that matches. Make the English batch, then the Spanish batch.

Where do I find all the videos afterwards?

On your Videos page. Each one appears as soon as it's ready, and you get an email when they're done. Download them any time within 30 days.

The video itself

Will my face or voice be in the video?

No. The videos are faceless: real images and short clips, a natural AI voice-over, music and captions. Nobody appears on camera, and you never record your voice. That means you can post makeup tips without being on camera in full glam every day.

Can I choose the voice and the captions?

Yes. Choose from 300+ natural voices in 74 languages, and from 5 caption styles: Classic, Karaoke, Word Pop, Box Highlight or Two-line.

What if I don't like how a video came out?

Press "Make it again — free". It's made again from the same script with fresh visuals, and it never counts against your free videos.

How long can a video be?

Shorts can run up to about 3 minutes of narration, but 30–60 seconds usually works best. The Unlimited + Long plan adds landscape YouTube videos up to 4 minutes.

What format is the video?

A vertical 1080×1920 MP4, the standard size for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels and Facebook. Make it once, post it everywhere.

Will faceless videos make me look less professional?

Not when each video teaches a real, specific makeup tip. People judge a short by whether it was worth their time. A clear tip about foundation matching or blush placement, with your studio name at the end, reads as expertise.

Posting & scheduling

Do I have to post a video every day?

No. Post at the pace that suits you. The simple rule is: the more useful videos you put out, the more potential clients learn your name. Two or three a week is a fine start. Steady beats occasional bursts.

I don't have time to upload every day. What can I do?

Schedule them. Make a batch of videos in one sitting with Bulk, then use the scheduling tools that the platforms already give you for free, so one video goes live each day (or every other day) while you work.

  • YouTube: upload in YouTube Studio and choose "Schedule" instead of "Public", then pick the date and time.
  • Instagram and Facebook: Meta Business Suite lets you schedule Reels ahead of time.
  • TikTok: on the TikTok website you can set a future posting time when you upload.

One hour on Sunday can fill the whole week. Platform menus change from time to time, so look for the "Schedule" option when you upload.

Where should I post first?

Start with one platform you already use or where your clients are, often YouTube Shorts or Instagram. Once that's a habit, post the same videos on the others. They're already the right size.

What should I write in the description?

One or two sentences about the tip, your business name, and how to contact you. On YouTube, add a link to your website if your channel allows links.

Does jajavideo upload the videos for me?

No. You download each video and post it yourself, so you stay in control of your accounts.

Results

How soon will I get clients from this?

Nobody can promise that, and we won't. Like any marketing, video builds up over time. Give it a steady few months, look at which topics get watched, and make more like those.

How do I know what's working?

Each platform shows you views and how long people watched. Look for videos that keep people watching past the first few seconds, and repeat their topic and opening style.

My first videos got few views. Did I do something wrong?

Probably not. New accounts often start slowly while the platform learns who your videos are for. Keep posting, make your first sentence stronger, and keep each video to one clear tip.

Do these videos help my makeup business get found?

They add visibility on YouTube, social platforms and your Google Business Profile, and can keep visitors engaged on pages where they're embedded. No video guarantees new clients, so don't promise that to clients.

Clients & business

Can I make videos for my clients and charge for them?

Yes. Commercial use is included on every plan, so you can publish videos on your clients' accounts and sell video as part of your makeup packages, for example for brides or salons.

Can I put my own logo on the videos?

Yes, on the Unlimited plans. Every video is watermark-free, or carries your own logo if you want it.

Can I make videos in my clients' languages?

Yes, in 74 languages including right-to-left ones like Arabic, Persian and Urdu. Ask the prompt to write in that language, then pick a voice in the same language.

Free plan & price

Is it really free?

Yes. Every day you get 5 completely watermark-free videos, about 150 a month, with no card. After those 5, you can keep making videos with a small "Made with jajavideo" credit.

When do my 5 free videos reset?

Every day at 00:00 UTC.

Do failed videos or redos count?

No. Only finished videos count, and "Make it again" is always free.

What do the paid plans add?

Unlimited ($27/month): unlimited watermark-free videos, your own logo, priority in the queue. Unlimited + Long ($47/month): everything in Unlimited plus landscape videos up to 4 minutes. Both are monthly PayPal subscriptions you can cancel any time.
