♫ [theme music] ♫ Hello, friends, and welcome to another video. Today, I'm gonna be mixing every eyeshadow from every online beauty guru's eyeshadow palettes together. So I've mixed a lot of my own makeup in the past, and I've also previously melted together every lipstick from Sephora to get a Franken-lipstick that was meant to uncover the average shade of all of the lipsticks that are sold in their stores. Or, I suppose, the midpoint color of what Sephora thinks is a marketable lipstick to their clientele. Now I'm guessing that most of you as YouTube viewers know what a beauty guru is, but just to propose a definition, I'm referring to online creators and influencers who make beauty-related content and, within that, usually recommend specific makeup products and provide tutorials as to how to achieve certain makeup looks. Now, these days, a lot of beauty gurus produce their own makeup products, either via their own company or by collabing with an established cosmetics brand. And if I had to say what the most common beauty guru makeup product is, it would definitely be an eyeshadow palette. So following the logic from my Sephora lipsticks video, if I were to mix together every eyeshadow shade from every beauty guru's palette, I would hypothetically come up with a midpoint shadow that would represent the most beauty-guru-recommended color. Once again, it's not great science. In fact, it's not even good. It's bad makeup science. But I guess that's why it's the name of the series. Now, a couple of caveats before we begin: First off, for this video, we are only going to be using palettes that are currently still in production, or at least were very recently in, like, the last six months or so. This ensures that in case a guru's taste has changed, we're presenting their most current recommendation. We also focused on gurus who, to my knowledge, got their start online and, more specifically, are YouTubers. But even with those constraints, there wasn't, like, a master list of beauty guru makeup products out there, so we may have missed a palette or two. So no shade to anyone if we missed them. But I think as long as our sample size is large enough, a couple of palettes shouldn't change our final result. Now, speaking of shade, I do realize there have been some, uh, goings-on in the beauty community recently. In fact, I started ordering these palettes in July, attempted to film this video in August, then "stuff" happened, so I decided to postpone. Since then, more things have happened and I realized that there's probably never gonna be a GOOD time to do this, so we're doing it now. Just so everyone knows, every person who I know of who could be considered a YouTube beauty guru's palette is in this video. I am not attempting to judge anyone's character, nor am I attempting to review the quality of these palettes, I'm just interested in what colors are in there, and how many of them there are. No shade. Only SCIENCE. So with all that said, let's whip out the palettes. I feel like with them all laid out like this, it's almost like the Game of Thrones intro, where you have, like, a topographical map of Westeros. Where are my dragons? I don't want to start anything, so I'm not going to say who I'd put at King's Landing. Fly, you fools! In the Game of Gurus, you either win or you die. Here For The Tea just gets to behead you with the shard from a lip-filler. No, it's very dull. It will take a while. All right, so to actually begin, why don't we start off with Jaclyn Hill's many palettes? So to honor the source material of this video, we decided to mix everything in this clear teacup, but this is a teacup of healing, hopefully, or at least of just forced togetherness. And the process I'm going to do, is I'm basically just going to scrape a little bit of each of these eyeshadows into this teacup and then once we've scraped a bit of every single eyeshadow from every single one of these palettes, I'm going to use this Fixy Makeup Repair Kit that I got to turn it into one eyeshadow. So without further ado, let's get to scraping. Oh, I haven't done one of these in a while. Ha ha hah! (slightly maniacally) Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Now this Morphe Jaclyn Hill Palette is actually the only palette that was also featured in my "Mixing All of My Eyeshadows Together" video from last year. So, um, she's already been through something. All right, ready? Tyler: Yeah. Careful, careful! Just a bit off the top. Oh, yes! YES! And then once we've scraped, it's time to dump. All right, now that we've popped the cherry, we just have to keep going 'cause there are a lot of eyeshadows, and sixty-nine palettes left. Unintentional, but good number. Oh, my god. That's a softy. Listen, I love me some ASMR. My current favorite video is this one where a girl roleplays as a medieval nun who is taking care of you while you have the plague. Angelica: Ummm. You are sick … with the bubonic plague. So sowwy. I don't think I've every made it to the end; I always fall asleep. All right. So I'm on my last row now. I've started wiping off my scalpel on my pants in between shadows so I guess later on we'll have some leg check-ins, as well as our tea check-ins. So besides her, like, OG Morphe palette, Jaclyn also has four Vault palettes: she's got a purple-toned one, a mustardy-colored one, a rosy-hued one, and a sort of, like, smoky-blue one. These ones also have the shade names on the palettes, which I appreciate, because then I get to see what they are named: like these ones are "Hush Hush" and "Bling Bling." And they're about to get "Scrape Scrape"-d! Sounds like I'm saying "crêpes crêpes." I could totally go for a crêpe. There's also a color called "Shhh" and a color called "Bomb Ass," which sounds kind of dangerous, honestly. Ready for some pour porn? Or as I like to call it, "Pour-n?" One good thing about a small palette is you have sort, like, a narrow dump. All right, so this is our final Jacky Hill color. Ooooooooooooooooooo. It was Moooooooooooorphe.com I'm sorry, that was so stupid. But anyway, I guess that's one guru down. So as we move along, the other element I'm interested in investigating is what the average composition of a beauty guru palette is. Like, how many shades are in there, are they neutrals or are they bold colors, and if they're mattes, shimmers, or glitters. I like shiny things. I'm sort of like a pigeon in that way. So as we go digging and scraping from guru to guru— Oh, yes! Oh, my god! Oh, it's so soft. Oh, I'm going too deep. Oh, my god. —I'm going to be calling out some stats to Tyler, so at the end we can calculate the hypothetical most common beauty guru palette. I like your pencil. Tyler: Thank you. I also like your Fiends long-sleeve t-shirt! Sorry, back to the video. Okay, so next up with have Kandee Johnson's collab palette with Too Faced, which is called "I Want Kandee." You know, kind of like Aaron Carter, circa 2000. And it does kind of smell like candy. ♫ "I want shavings." ♫ Tyler: ♫ Da da-da da-dat! Dat dat! ♫ And that's how I beat Shaq. I was trying to catapult them in. Tyler: Successfully. And then next up, we have a bunch of collab palettes from the company Makeup Revolution, which I believe is a British company, so they're mostly, like, U.K.-based creators, except for the Emily Edit palettes--I think she's from Illinois. As am I. So, what's good, Emily? How about them bears? I don't think they're doing particuarly well, but… they're not doing that bad. Hey, there you go. So after some of these Revolution palettes, the mixture is looking quite vibrant: almost looks like flaming hot Cheeto dust, which you wouldn't think you'd want to put on your eyes, but right now I kind of do. Coincidentally, my pant leg is also looking quite nice. Don't you mean thigh-dye? So with this final sprinkle, I'll clean up these palettes later. Don't worry. All right. So I feel like it makes sense because we just did Revolution Beauty, which is a U.K.-based company, to push on and do some palettes from creators of the Commonwealth. So we have a Tanya Burr palette who's from the U.K. Waaah! We've got a couple from Chloe Morello who's from Australia.
Tyler: Ooo! Safiya: Did that make it in? It's just luck every time. And one from Shaaanxo who I believe is a Kiwi, aka from New Zealand. So the fun thing about the Shaaanxo palette is that it's double-sided. You have, like, one palette here, and then it goes this way.
Tyler: Ohhh! See, it's kind of like how the toilets flush the other way in the Southern Hemisphere. They also have double-sided eyeshadow palettes. Now I think that's all the Commonwealth creators, though we may have missed a Canadian or two. They're just harder to sniff out. Then next up, because we just did a Pixi palette and a BH Cosmetics palette, I have more Pixi and more BH Cosmetics. From itsjudytime, ItsMyRayeRaye, and Carli Bybel. ItsMyRayeRaye's is also another one that has, like, multiple panels, and when I balance it on my cup, it sort of looks like a beach chair, which felt like it was something to note. For some reason. And then we have Carli Bybel's palette, which to me kind of looks like a Roman bathhouse. Like we've got some marble, some pools, some sort of decorative tiles... Well, there's a lot of nudes in there. Okay. With all of those done, we're nearing, like, the midway point of the eyeshadows. The palette pile is quite formidable and our eyeshadow mound is rising. So up next I have five eyeshadow quads from Patrick Starrr in collaboration with Mac, and they come in a variety of different colors, and I think they're usually released, like, with a set of other makeup. Where'd this outfit come from? And this turban? Golly, gee, I think I'm turning into Patrick Starrr! Do you think that Patrick Starrr is just a really big SpongeBob fan? Who got there first? Patrick Starrr or Patrick Star? We'll get there in a second. I will say, though, that Patrick Starrr is the only guru who has me on PR, so … *snaps palette shut* that's the real tea. Although I'm not really sure why anyone would want to send me PR after they see what is done to the makeup that is sent to me. But the point still stands. Thanks for the PR, Patrick. Call me. All right, so now I'm just going to finish up the influencer/brand collabs, starting with the ColourPop palettes, of which I have one from Makeupshayla, two from Eva Gutowski, one from iluvsarahii, and two from Kathleen Lights. Now, thinking back to the PR point, I'm actually pretty sure I do get Kathleen Lights's ColourPop PR, in which case, thank you to Kathleen as well. However, I don't have a Kathleen costume. Sorry. For this round, I'm also bringing this Maybelline City mini palette by Makeupshayla as well, just so the Shayla ones can go together. You think this is a one-dumper? I think it could be. I call this one, six colors, one cup. Dear Shayla, I'm sorry. It's a very pretty palette. So with that, we're done with ColourPop and also the Shayla addendum of this li'l thing. So we have five more influencer/brand palettes, starting with two from Kristen Leanne and Urban Decay. Now I was going to say that Kristen Leanne was kind of contributing to the neutral-ness of our eyeshadow… stew, I guess, but her second palette is, like, all bright colors in all differently shaped pans. I feel like it's trying to tell me something. Almost like Morse code, you know? Like lines and dots? It's like National Treasure but for beauty gurus. It's been in the palette the whole time! We also have one from Aspyn Ovard and Tarte, one from Melisa Michelle and Ulta, and one from Nicol Concilio and Violet Voss, which is holo. Biiitch. So adding that to my very precarious pile. Now we're on to palettes by makeup gurus who run their own lines, like Laura Lee and Manny ... ♫ [intense music] ♫ Everyone breathe ... ... and Christen Dominique too. And she's got her Latte palette and her Lemonade palette. She also, fortunately or unfortunately, has DC carved into each of her shadows, which we are about to mess up. They're Marvel eyeshadows now... Ha ha ha ha ha. And then next up we have four palettes from Jeffree Star: Androgyny, Beauty Killer, Thirsty, and Blood Sugar. And he, of course, also has, like, an engraving in his eyeshadows, that is about to be bulldozed. Actually, could we just pause for second? I feel like we're going through this way too fast. We're just blowing through all these eyeshadow palettes. Maybe we should split up this video into, like, five parts? Maybe even eight …
Tyler: Oooooo. … if necessary. Like we could call the first one "The Truth Behind Mixing Every Beauty Guru's Eyeshadow Palette Together" and then we could call the next one "The Secret Behind Mixing Every Beauty Guru's Eyeshadow Palette Together." And then in the third one, I could live like an eyeshadow palette for a day. Yeah. I'm just kidding. No shade at all to Shane or Jeffree. In fact, I'm very much looking forward to the Illuminati palette, and I can only hope that it's Taco Bell scented. Okay, so after those palettes, we're actually nearing the end of our scraping journey. In fact, we only have two gurus left. So our penultimate brand is Makeup Geek, which is run by Marlena Stell. And it's a little bit different from some of the other beauty guru brands, because it's not just her name. But she is a beauty YouTuber, so she's here. And then our final, final guru is Huda Kattan, aka Huda Beauty, or as Tyler likes to call her... Tyler cannot say "Huda Beauty." To be fair, it's difficult to say. Now, Huda, like a couple of the other gurus that we have in this stack, I think is, like, primarily an Instagram creator. I know she also has a Facebook Watch show ... I ... I think. But she does, of course, have a YouTube channel, so I felt like, with, like, all of the elements together, she should be on this list. Also, as we touched on before, her brand name is pretty great. *chanted* Huda Booty, Huda Booty, rockin' everywhere. As they say. All right, so after twelve Huda palettes, we're finally on to our last one. This is all that's standing in between me and sleep right now. So let's wreck it. We're ending with an orange. Yeah. I'll take it. All right. Let me put this atop this precarious pile and let's survey our mixture, shall we? So in the end, we had seventy palettes, from thirty different gurus. So many dumps were had on this paper. Look how bad my aim was. With a total of 759 individual eyeshadows, giving the average palette about eleven shades. All right, I've pierced the middle. Oh, it's deep! So in our mixture, as well as in our average palettes, we had 62% neutral colors and 38% colorful colors-- Oh, wow, I just saw a Crusty hair in there. Let me procure it. --with 27% of those colors being purple, 18% being pink, 14% blue, 13% orange, 13% green, 9% red, and 6% yellow. So even though actual red shades aren't super common, it seems like variants on red, like purple, pink, and orange, are very popular. And all of that leaves our mixture looking like this and our average beauty guru palette looking something like this. Oh, and also we found that 54% of the shadows were mattes, 40% were shimmer shades, and 6% were glitters. Also represented in our theoretical palette here. So I think that now that we have this mixture, maybe we should just bust out the Fixy kit and see what happens. So with the Fixy kit, you first grind your shadows through the sifter. As it's going through the grinder, it's starting to look, like, very metallic. Like, I'm seeing some shimmer up here. After that, you pour your shadow grounds into the pan you want to use, and give it three to four spritzes of this sort of hand-sanitizer-scented stuff. All right, one more just for fun. Aah!
Tyler: Ooh, yeah. Okay I did a little bit more than recommended, but I want it to be strong. Now I have to place this lid firmly over it, and press for—oh, I should be standing up—press for ten seconds. Then after that we just lift up the lid ... Eeehh?
Tyler: Eeh? … and we have our eyeshadow. Ta daaaah! Hello, Franken-guru, and welcome to the world. I've birthed an eyeshadow. It smells like alcohol. First impressions on how it looks in my hand ifs it definitely looks warmer and browner than the shadow we made when we mixed just my personal eyeshadows last year. But similarly to that one, I am seeing a lot of shimmer in there, as well as some multicolored speckles if you look close enough. So the Fixy kit does say that you can use your newly pressed shadow in, like, just a few minutes, but I'm going to let it dry overnight, because we've been mixing for hours, and I'm about to pass out. So I'm going to put my Franken-guru shadow right here and then tomorrow, when we eventually awake, I will return, swatch it, and wear it all day. But in the meantime, we'll place her here, so she can sit upon the pigment throne. All right. So it's the next day, and our shadow is looking dry and ready to apply. A pimple has also sprung up on my nose to join us in this journey, so welcome, pimple. All right, so this is how it's looking this morning. I think it's looking, like, slightly more purple and burgundy-ish than it was last night. It does, however, still look more brown than the Franken-shadow that I made last year. So this is what the swatch looks like in full sunlight. *both Saf and Tyler*: Oooooo. It's quite sparkly and it's sort of like a rosy copper shade. And then in inside light, the swatch looks like this: less sparkly and more of, like, a penny color. All right, let's put it on. So I'm just going to put some eye primer on, just to give this eyeshadow a fighting chance. Ooooh. It is showing up very quickly. I think with the last Franken-shadow I did have to, like, build it up a little bit and this one I would say is more pigmented. I think it does work pretty well as, like, an overall lid shade, and, in general, indoors without sunlight it does look sort of just like a flattering, warm, rosy, taupey, brown. I hope that wasn't too many descriptors. But that's sort of how I feel about it. So I'm just going to finish up my makeup really quick and cover up our friend, Sir Pimple. Dame Pimple. Judy Pimple. And then we'll check back in. Okay. So this is my finished makeup look. I think that actually this Franken-guru all over the lid with the rest of my makeup looks kind of dramatic. Like I feel kind of, like, **dramatic eye-pop** But used more sparingly and perhaps with less of, like, a cat-eye wing, I think it would come off more subtle. So now that my makeup is on, we're going to go outside, see how the shadow looks in different lighting, and then we're going to do a few different activities including looking for a dupe at Sephora, and also looking at the shadow under a microscope. All right. Let's go. Tyler: Ooooo. Ohh, the sun is bright! Tyler: Right in the eyes, sorry about that. Oh, it's real shimmery! I feel like a cat in the sun or a raisin, either or That's a poetry joke. I also apologize for that. I'm going to make an apology video after this. Tyler: Yeah, but this apology video will be just failed jokes. Alright so now that we've seen it out in the sunlight And I've slightly damaged my retinas. Let's go to Sephora And see if we can find a similar shade. So I'm just going to swatch the Franken-guru on my hand, To aid us in our dupe finding quest. There are a lot of dupe candidates Because it's just a neutral shimmer. But it's also kind of quietly unique. Because it's in between purple and brown And also in between matte and like a true metallic. I guess its sort of a satin? So it's tricky to match actually. As you can see from the numerous swatches on my hand. We also have a swatch from crusty right here. Tyler:Oh yeah. Tyler:We need to trim his nails. All right, so after a decent amount of swatching, I came up with four, like, finalists, that I think are pretty close, but out of the four, the winner for me is this shade right here, Which is a Dior Backstage shadow Called "Shimmer Purple" In a palette called "Cool Neutrals" So I guess Dior thinks this is a... Cool Neutral Purple Shimmer Which isn't what I would call it. but ... it's a pretty good dupe. Okay, so we're at home a few hours later and I thought it was high time for more science. So I brought out my trusty microscope, just so we could take a closer look at what we've got going on here. ' Okay, so I'm just going to swatch it on my arm and then we'll see what we can see. Oooohoo! Interesting! Oh, wow, you totally can see a lot of different colors under the microscope, come look. I can see some sort of, like, brown particles in the cracks in my skin, but with the shimmer that's coating my scales you can see a lot of different colored glitter. Look, you can see, like, an orange and a blue and a pink. All these things you can't see with the naked eye, but with science you can see it. Tyler:"Science" aka a $19 microscope from Amazon. So as a bonus comparison, I'm going to swatch the OG Franken-shadow next to it, just so we can see the difference. Oh, interesting! Okay, so this shadow is obviously much older than the Franken-guru, actually I think it's almost exactly a year old. Tyler:This is sorta like the one year anniversary. Aww! And when I look at it under the microscope, I do see a few different colour pigments, but I would say that I'm seeing less different flecks overall, I feel like. It's sort of more frosted and less multicolored, I think partially because the gurus had more different colored glitters than I did in my personal collection, and I theorize that the glitter chunks are what we're seeing here. Alright. So it's been quite a few hours, so I think it's time to wrap up our day wearing our Franken-guru eyeshadow. I would say that overall it wore pretty well, like, it still looks quite good on the eyes, and in terms of the color, I do think it is a nice color, though I will say I wasn't surprised when it turned out to be, like, a warm, shimmery brown, just because of how many neutrals and variations on red went into the mix. And I think that the strong representation of those colors may just be because neutrals and rosy tones are easy to wear for a lot of people, though I do sort of suspect and wonder if there's some, like, color theory to it, just because I've seen things about how fast food restaurants, and restaurants in general, will choose, like, red and yellow and other warm colors for their logos, because that makes people feel hungry and more likely to go in. So I wonder if perhaps the same thing might happen on, like, social media: Like a warm-toned look might make people, you know, feel sort of cosy and ready to Like. Of course, that's just a hypothesis. I don't know a lot about color theory. But it sounds plausible. So just to truly put a cap on our day, I thought it would be only appropriate to make one more tea joke. Tyler:....Oh My God. So, I bought some empty tea bags with which to make some Franken-guru tea. It's sort of like stone soup, but not. All right, so I'm going to boil the water so the tea is hot. Should I leave room for milk? Both: No. See, this feels like one of those things where, like, someone should've stopped me before we got to this point. Tyler:Yeah I think he's sitting behind the camera right now He he heh. All right, so I've let the tea steep for a couple of minutes, so, ah, here we go! Cheers! To the gurus. Ooo! It tastes like chalk. But, you know, not too bad, actually. Sort of a ... a bad feeling in the back of my mouth. Like I'm feeling a little bit of, like, a powder back there. But all in all, I'd take another sip. Do you think this is bad for me? Tyler:Most likely Mmm. Valid. Okay, so that is the Franken-guru eyeshadow. Obviously, this time around, I don't have, like, a lot of them to give away, but I would still like to hear your guys's name suggestions in the comments below. Also, we did just re-stock our Bat Bitch hoodies on our merch site as well as a few other items, so if you're looking for your size it should be there, including XXL and XXXLs. Thank you guys so much for watching. If you liked that video make sure to shmash that Like button and if you want to see more videos like this make sure to shmash that Subscribe button. Here are my social media handles and a big shoutout to Carly for watching. Thanks for watching, Carly, and I will see you guys a-next time. I just wanted to show everyone what happened when I took the tea bag out to dry. It made this face on the paper towel. I think I may just have exorcised the angry Pac-Man out of the beauty community. Or it's just a tea bag. I don't know. You decide.
You would think that scraping brand new makeup would bother people, but I thought it was so satisfying.
I don't think I can watch anyone but Saf do a "mixing all of my ___" video. She just makes it so entertaining. I really did like then end product, surprising color or not. It's a very wearable color.
I also appreciated the way she went about the drama, because it would have had to been brought up somehow.
All I can say is: Safiya collab when?
I was dying when she did the dramatic Manny and Laura Lee reveal.
Also, "maybe I should make this a 5 part series. Or even an 8 part series."
lmao I cackled when she suddenly dressed like Patrick.
I wish she would’ve done like a whole palette!!! Like one of just transition shades, one for dark matter, one for reds, etc
I died at "Patrick Starr is the only guru that has me on PR so *claps palette* that's the real tea."
I thought I would be bored by yet another mixing products videos, but nope, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I like the way she addressed the Beautuber scandals. Felt like a "normal person's" response to acknowledge the drama but not get involved. Loved her little shade at Shane when she mentioned maybe splitting the series into 8 parts and then said it wasn't shade at Shane haha
Unfortunately, this video exposed me to so many palettes I was unaware of, and now I want them all. I'm sure we all knew this shade would come out as a shimmery brown, but this video took a lot of work, so kudos.
She finallly did what Jaclyn has been telling us all along... Just scrape the top layer for better pigment honey!
I think we all knew it would be brown, but... obviously, I had to hang in there to see which brown!
Overall, the jokes were good, the tea was good, the flat lay of product was good, and the statistics palette was good. I like it.
There’s something nice to me about the way she clearly references people throughout this video, if that makes sense. She has more subscribers than the majority of BGs mentioned but say some subscribers of hers like the look of a certain palette they might be spurred on to check out that BG. Or even if a couple people checked out, say Nyma Tang or the ASMR video, that’d be really nice for them.
