- She wants to glow she said.
- Yes I have to look like a glazed donut
or else it's not right. (laughs)
(upbeat music)
- Hi I'm Megan.
- Hi I'm Jaelen.
- And today, we're trying zero-waste makeup.
- So I'm the teen.
- And I guess that makes me the adult.
- I'm excited to try zero-waste makeup.
I have been doing makeup since freshman year of high school.
I have grown more eco-friendly,
so I don't use plastic water bottles,
I don't use plastic bags.
I've never tried zero-waste makeup,
but I do feel like if it's a good product and zero-waste,
not only are you making yourself look beautiful,
but also you're helping the earth.
- I'm very excited to see if this stuff is worthy.
- [Woman] Today with your zero-waste makeup
you're going to be doing a date night look.
- Ooh, I'm excited. (laughs)
- Yeah, love that.
All right, gimme makeup.
(squeals)
All right let's dive in shall we?
- This is a nice color.
- (gasps) It's like a rosy-
it matches your nails! - Oh it goes with my nails!
Yeah!
- Ooh.
- Ooh look at that big ass mirror.
- They're magnetic.
- That's brilliant I love this.
It is a lot of nudes, good natural.
- Yeah, but it's good for a date night,
it's good for a date night. - Mmhm, mmhm.
I really like this packaging,
I just wanna hold it and put it in my pocket.
- This is vegan mascara so that's interesting,
and they don't test it on animals.
It looks like any other mascara.
- This is probably the most interesting
liquid eyeliner component I've ever seen.
Oh! - Oh!
- See, I think this is really cool
and I'm a sucker for good packaging,
but I feel like this wand isn't long enough,
you have to get real close to your eye
and that kinda scares me.
- But it looks pigmented which is good for an eyeliner.
- That's true.
- Yeah.
Let's get to this.
- Let's do it.
Starting with eyes.
I'm thinking like a really natural
smokey eye is what jumps out at me.
Ooh, there's a little bit of kickback
but that's expected, it's (bangs) a powder.
Let's see the pigment, there's not a lot on the brush.
I'm gonna use this pink one, and this beige one.
- So far right (record scratches) there's nothing happening.
- [Man] Uh-oh.
(laughs)
- It's very smooth and it's actually blending good,
but I do have to build it up.
- But that's not necessarily a bad thing,
you don't necessarily want something
that you're gonna place on your eye and then go,
"How do I blend this out?"
- I'm gonna put some eyeshadow on the bottom
of my eye to see if it shows up.
Oh yeah it's showing up, I like it.
- That looks nice.
Date night, date night.
I'm gonna go to Echo Park on my date
and go on the little boats on the water there.
No one knows what that means (laughs)
unless they're from California.
[Woman] - I do. (laughs)
- Self date!
- I'm scared of those. (laughs)
- Why?
- I don't know, what if you stop pedaling and you drown?
- I don't think you just drown. (laughs)
- I don't know. (laughs)
- We're gonna get you on a pedal boat
that's the follow up to this video.
I'm done with my crease,
the color started off slow but it's fully there,
very nice blendable color.
Now I'm going in with this lighter shade
to put all over my lid.
- I'm also gonna get the lighter shade
and I'm gonna put it on my brow bone.
- These are really nice, I'm super into this so far
actually, a little surprised, I'm not gonna lie.
- [Jaelen] Yeah.
- If I didn't know that this was eco-friendly makeup,
I wouldn't have thought anything different.
I'm normally using Fenty, Urban Decay.
- I use a lot of Wet n Wild,
especially their highlighters, best highlighters.
I'm very much into shimmers.
- She wants to glow she said.
- Yes I have to look like a glazed donut
or else it's not right. (laughs)
- All right we are done with our eyeshadow
and it's time for eyeliner.
We have this fun little teardrop sort of bobber.
- I feel like it's too short
so I have to go really close to my face.
- Yeah the want is short but the brush,
the tip is like so thin and precise, I'm like okay.
I feel like I'm in the 17th century
and I'm writing a letter to my lover in the war,
in my inkwell. - [Joalen] (laughs)
- This worked really well,
I don't know if it's my hand
or the product or a combo but like.
- Yeah, it looks good.
- Pretty good, yeah it looks good on you too.
Mm, aw sh-
(dramatic music)
(sighs) I just.
- Ah, you're good you can't really see it.
- God damn it.
No that's like really high. (laughs)
- No, go away.
God damn it, that was going so well.
No I almost never ever use liquid eyeliner
so I've never even applied it with this brush that I grabbed
but like, pretty good, pretty good.
- Yeah I like it, I really do. - Right?
See that wing is (beeps) ready to cut someone, I'm scared.
- (laughs)
- That's a good brush, that's a good application.
- It is pigmented, but I do feel like
it has trouble setting on top of eyeshadow?
- That's interesting, I disagree.
- Really?
- Yeah, maybe it's our different brushes but-
- Yeah maybe.
- This is just like (farts).
You know, do I need to add more words?
It's just like here I am.
I'm done.
- Okay we're gonna move on to mascara now.
- Yay.
That looks like a good wand, it's like spiky.
- Yeah.
- Ooh hi length.
Length, separation, and pigment?
She said, "Hello, I'm here."
- Yeah my lower eyelashes look longer, it looks good right?
- Ooh yeah.
- Lower, lower looks good.
- Yeah, very separated and nice.
- [Woman] What are your go-to mascaras?
- I get my mascara from Mexico so it's definitely different,
it's not like Maybelline or anything. (laughs)
I literally will go just to buy it, it's bad.
- You gotta give me that address.
- Uh huh (laughs)
- Now it's time for blush.
Looks like a nice shade.
- I usually go for darker, but let's see how it looks.
- Yeah I don't think it'd be super
universal a color cause it's kinda pale.
- Oh I like it.
I like it, it's like a rosy color,
not usually what I'd go for but it's pretty.
- Easy, went on the way you'd expect a nice blush to go on.
- Yeah.
It's time for lipstick.
They're both shades of purple.
Can I use the dark one?
- [Joalen] Yeah sure.
- This one matches your nails.
- Yay, look! (laughs)
- (sniffs) Oh my God it smells so good.
(sniffs) Oh it smells so good.
- It smells like candy.
- Oh my God I wanna stick that
in my nose this smells so good.
- (laughs)
Ooh, it is way lighter than I thought.
Yeah, it's definitely lighter.
- I'm gonna go ahead and say that
this is not a lipstick like they say it is,
I'm gonna go ahead and say it's a pigmented lip balm.
And if they marketed it that way,
I'd be like hell yeah, this is great.
But to expect pigmented lipstick is wrong.
- [Joalen] Yeah. - Pretty color though.
- You had to layer it on a lot of times
to actually get a color. - [Megan] Yeah.
- It smells delicious, I mean I'm not mad at it.
- Yeah I know I feel like you could eat it, but no.
- Yeah.
(dings)
- I think we're done.
(sprays)
(laughs)
- Now I'm done.
(camera clicks)
- [Joaren] I really like how the blush looks on your skin.
- I'm telling you, oh thanks!
I think everything looks great on you.
I think you did a good job with the eyeshadow,
all those colors look really good on you.
The eyeliner wing is so (beeps) sharp.
I could not possibly explain to you
why my brain associated zero-waste makeup
with garbage, but that clearly isn't the case
based on the ways that our faces turned out.
- Yeah I do feel like I want to actually research
other companies, other brands.
- Cause it's good.
- Yeah, it's good. (laughs)
[Megan And Joaren] It's time for our dates!
- Goodbye, I'm going to the lake.
(laughs)
