- Hi, so I'm gonna challenge you
to do a zero waste glam makeup routine.
- Is that even possible?
(playful music)
- My name is Jhanneau and I'm a sustainability influencer
and blogger.
I use my YouTube channel and my Instagram
to talk about how you can live a low waste lifestyle
while also making it inclusive and accessible to everyone.
So, I cover all things from makeup
to kitchen tips.
- Trying to encourage brands
to be more inclusive is really important.
I've been trying to be zero waste
since the end of 2016.
I don't wear a lot of makeup.
I've kind of shied away from doing makeup
because it seems really hard to do zero waste.
And I've been noticing you do so many cool
low waste, zero waste makeup videos.
And I'm just in awe.
And I'm like, show me how please.
- More than happy to show you.
I'm gonna help you through it.
It seems scary,
but you're gonna look amazing.
- I'm gonna try.
I accept the challenge.
All the things have arrived
and I'm also really excited for you
to be teaching me something
'cause I'm usually teaching people zero waste things.
- I'm excited as well.
(laughing)
So, the first thing we're gonna do is we're gonna take
the Besame Cake Mascara.
It comes in a tin,
which is 100% recyclable and it's aluminum,
which I really like.
You don't have to worry about anything spilling.
This is literally gonna last you forever.
I've had this for I don't know how long.
I use a angled brush like this one.
You're gonna need to wet this brush a little bit.
- I have some water that I'm drinking out of.
But, that's fine right?
- Yeah, me too.
So, I just kind of dip it
and then I kind of brush a little bit off
on the edge of the tin so it's not dripping.
I'm just gonna go and just kind of flick up a little bit.
Just kind of fill them in.
You don't wanna be too heavy
'cause you don't want them to look like
you have a Sharpie,
like drawing on your eyebrows.
- I use an old toothbrush sometimes for my brow.
- Perfect.
So just brush them out.
Now we're gonna clean up our eyebrows.
So, I want you to go ahead and take
the concealer that your using.
You have a more affordable option
which is Pacifica.
And although Pacifica is plastic,
they actually have a take back program.
If you're someone that's on a budget,
Pacifica is definitely a good option
'cause they're vegan.
They're clean and they have a take back program.
I'm actually gonna use one by Kjaer Weis.
This is actually their foundation and it comes in
100% aluminum recyclable packaging.
You can just pop in a new refill.
So, you keep this forever.
I would just dab it.
- This feels so luxurious.
I've never take this much time.
- You gotta put time in looking good.
So, just kinda outline it.
It helps me cover up the hairs
that need to be waxed but aren't waxed.
'Cause you know,
COVID's going on.
One of the reasons why I started doing
makeup on YouTube in addition to all other low waste things
is because sustainable beauty doesn't always have
different shade ranges.
Well, how can we expect everyone to be low waste
if we don't actually create products for them?
- Yeah, I hope that more shades become available.
- It really gives your face kind of like a clean look.
- My eyebrows feel defined.
- Yes, they are.
Perfect, so I'm gonna take my foundation
which is Pacifica foundation.
I know you don't like using foundation.
You can just go ahead and use the concealer to kind of
cover up dark spots that you wanna cover up.
Sponges are actually made of plastic,
but I've had this forever
so I'm just gonna keep using it
until it's into a billion pieces.
(laughing)
Use what you have first,
and then you can transition to something
that's more sustainable once it's no longer working.
- That's super good advice.
- I'm gonna take the Kjaer Weis foundation
that's lighter than my skin tone
that I use as concealer and just kind of put it
up under my eyes.
So it just brightens my eyes.
- Uh oh.
- What happened?
- It had gray on it.
These are my roommate's old makeup brushes.
- You have to clean your brushes.
The best way to do it is just take a bar of soap
and just kind of go up and down
and then it helps to clean it.
So, it's a zero waste way to clean your makeup brushes.
Bacteria and stuff can build up,
so it's important to clean your brushes.
- Well, I'm a dirty (beep)
so it's fine.
No, just kidding.
I gotta clean off this gray that I accidentally
put on my eye.
- Now we are going to do eyes.
And so, we're gonna take this
from Antonym Cosmetics.
I kind of use it for my eyes and as blush as well.
- I love a multi use situation.
- And it's a really pretty color that I feel works well
on pretty much any skin color.
And just dab a little.
And now, we're gonna take mascara.
So, you're gonna use the Besame one.
I always brush down and then brush up.
It helps them to make them longer.
We are almost there.
Now, we're just doing lips
and that's kind of the final icing on the cake.
And so, you have some lipstick from
Elate Cosmetics too, right?
- Yes.
I got the plenty color.
- I have perk,
which I think is one of their newer lipsticks.
It does come in bamboo.
There is a little bit of plastic in it, unfortunately.
I don't think you can be perfectly plastic-free.
It's about having brands that are just trying to make
a difference and reduce their impact.
Maybe we're gonna see you wear lipstick now, you know?
- I love this lip color.
I'm definitely gonna use this a lot.
- This is the final look.
You look great.
- So do you.
- I like how it's just kind of natural and
you can kind of wear this at night
or during the day as well.
- I'm definitely gonna use this
whenever we can go out again.
It's definitely not zero waste,
but it's low waste.
Thank you so much.
- Of course.
Enjoy your day with your glam look.
