The World of & Shane Dawson

By:Jenika Finch

Since he was 19 years old, Shane Dawson has been making videos for people about all the things that are happening in the world, especially conspiracy theories. Since he started in

2008, his subscriber list has grown tremendously. He now, in 2019, has 22.5 million followers including: many teenagers, adults, and other on his YouTube channel.

Just recently he has started doing videos with other YouTube stars such as Graveyard

Girl, , and others to find out what makes those people who they are and how they got to where they are now. On October 1st, he dropped a video with Jeffree Star, one of his best friends. He wanted to show his fans more of Jeffree’s world in detail than what they see in

Shane’s videos or Jeffree’s videos.

If you aren’t familiar with Jeffree, he is a popular YouTube star, and like many others on

YouTube, he is a makeup artist and posts a lot about his life and his new products. Unlike some other makeup artists on YouTube, Jeffree has come out with many different makeup palettes that have gone viral. The palettes got so big that he was able to tour around the world a few times to premiere them in many different stores, and in many different countries.

One of the other big things that some people don’t know about Shane is that he is starting to get really interested in makeup. He started doing his own looks on himself and even on some of his friends and his boyfriend Ryland. Since Shane learned that he really wanted to get into make up, he realized that one of his best friends is a big hit make up artist. So Shane talked to

Jeffree and they made things happen. This is one of the biggest things that people are talking about right now: that Shane and

Jeffree are starting to collab and are getting together a few pallets together. The process that they had to go through was trying out what kinds of material they want to put together in the eye shadow so that it would be a success and so that it is lasting and many people would buy their pallet. Since Jeffree has had a lot of experience with this kind of thing, the process was easy for the two of them.

One of my cousins named Lisa is a part time makeup artist in Columbus, Ohio. So I realised that since she works a lot with makeup, it would be a good idea to ask her the process of knowing what makeup is good or not. She told me, “It takes time to really realize what is good or not, because you have to have used a lot of products to really experience having good and bad pallets.” Since I understood more about it, I then asked her what it takes for eyeshadow to be good. She was telling me that “It’s the eyeshadow that you get and you put on your finger and wipe it off on your wrist and see how far it goes on your arm and if it doesn't go far, then it’s not the one to go for. So when I have a client, I make sure to use the best makeup I can so that they will come back and I can still have my little side gig.”

Now that I know what it is like to know what good make up really is like, then I see why it is such a long process to make the makeup and why it really is a big process for Shane and

Jeffree. When the pallets came out on their website, all of the pallets were sold out in less than an hour. They sold one million pallets in less than an hour, which made the website glitch while people were trying to buy the products. For many of those people, while on the site or checking out, the site popped up as sold out for everything. This angered many people, which caused many emails to go out to Jeffree and Shane out of anger. But Shane and Jeffree came back with a Tweet saying that the site glitched when everything was sold out and that is why the customers sites didn't let them continue shopping. They both apologized and said that more pallets will be on the website for people to buy soon.

In the end, the journey for Shane and Jeffree going through collabing and having a huge sell out was a big deal for both of them. They bothposted pictures of them celebrating and being excited about the big success. After this success I’m sure that the two best friends will be collabing again with more products for the fans.
