What happens when you swap your bathroom mirror for a metro window and your vanity for a commuter’s seat? You might just become the internet’s newest beauty icon. That’s exactly what happened to Delhi-based content creator Seikhohao Haokip, better known online as @ryanhaokip.xii – who turned heads (and algorithms) by filming his morning glow-up on a moving Yellow Line train of the Delhi Metro.The now-viral video shows Ryan casually applying blush, lip balm, and hair gel in a “Get Ready With Me” (GRWM) moment that looks more like a Vogue Beauty Secrets episode than a routine subway ride. With over 2.6 million views, 83,000+ likes, and 1,400+ comments, the clip has launched Ryan from regular office-goer to internet’s favourite on-the-go beauty guru.
In the video, Ryan starts with a dewy blush dabbed across his cheeks and nose, followed by a slick of tinted lip balm and a quick style-up with lightweight hair gel. After a swift ‘fit check, the scene cuts to him riding an auto rickshaw on his way to work. It’s minimal, effective, and quietly confident, exactly the kind of content Gen Z and millennials are loving.And love it they did. The comments section is a goldmine of fan reactions, from “Bro’s skin is literally glowing” to “Corporate skincare king!” Beauty influencers like Sahira Taneja and Diipa Büller-Khosla chimed in with heart emojis and fire reactions. But it’s the background character, a man watching with fascination that became an unexpected star. Comments like “The dude in pink wants in on the glow” and “He’s falling for you, bro” flooded the feed.
In a world where skincare is now mainstream and self-care isn’t gendered, Ryan’s impromptu GRWM stands as a sweet, slightly cheeky reminder: glow wherever you are, even if it’s on public transport. We loved Ryan’s video, tell us how did you like it in the comment section below.
