Real Vs Fake Makeup Under A Microscope

Today we're going to be taking a look at some fake and real makeup under a microscope! Also, a big thank you to Honey! You can join Honey for free here - joinhoney.com/safiya

So I've seen a lot of makeup under a microscope videos floating around, so I wanted to get in on the fun and get a microscope of my own to see what I could see! I got some knockoff makeup products from Santee Alley downtown, and then compared those to their real counterparts under a microscope to expose the differences up close on my skin! We took a look at the Sweet Peach Palette, Fenty Foundation, Moonchild Palette, Better Than Sex Mascara, and Kylie Lip Kit.
Also, apologies for the "horseshoe" typo!! Whoops, lol.

HELLO FRIENDS!! ah yes, another gross microscope video to add to the list.... what do you guys think of these products? I would say "would you try this?" but I don't want any of y'all using unregulated fake makeup!! But I do condone the use of a microscope in pretty much any situation. xoxo, saf

YOU SHOULD DO A VIDEO TO SEE WHICH MAKEUP REMOVER TAKES OFF THE MOST MAKEUP (wipes, face wash, etc.) because they all advertise that they do but a lot of times they don’t! Then you can look at your skin with the microscope to see which took off the most!!

Speaking as a microbiologist, that microscope is not powerful enough to pickup any single organisms. And in any case, bacteria are mostly clear unless grouped in a colony, but if you have bacterial colonies growing on your face, then you have a whole other issue going on there. :P

Actually you naturally have bacteria on your skin, there are the good bacteria that help with the balance of your skin health and there are bad bacteria which can cause infection we learned that in health class and cosmetology. Thats why you shouldn't share eye makeup and many other cosmetics and cosmetic tools like powder brushes due to the risk of getting and infection amongst other things. Oh and razors. Don't share personal razors and other personal grooming and beauty tools like eyebrow tweezers, and i discourage the use of public shared samples of mascara and the such at makeup departments even with the throw away mascara brushes due to the risk of someone double dipping their mascara brush into the mascara sample tube, swatching on your wrist or hand, i say should be fine, but do not apply to your face i beg of you!

I would love to see a video where you review the Burt's Bees makeup. I would love to get your opinion on this.

[@epicfreakingguy4156]

I love your navy blue lipstick! 🤩

[@Housewarmin]

I think a lot of these are just replicating the packaging not the actual product.

[@CynthK]

Chances are it’s because that’s all they need to replicate to make a sale since you probably can’t open it before buying it, and at that point the seller most definitely has a convenient “no refund policy”

[@viktoriamh3442]

Help me develop the channel. You can go and watch my videos🧡 And sorry for spamming💜💜

[@duhhdude64]

it's called counterfeit for a reason.

[@beccac6812]

Yes but if you’re gunna replicate the packaging people are going to expect a similar product

[@kerri8037]

King Jesus Yeah, they’re another normal person.

[@lauradelavie3745]

Why don’t you go to a real lab and let them check the ingredients of the fake makeup that you bought? That would be so interesting! 🤔

[@Hessimore]

Can you imagine the cost of doing something like that?

[@lrose1310]

I was going to say, that would be super expensive.

[@oliviamiller-davis4667]

@@Hessimore I mean she's spent a lot of money for videos before like $700 for jeans

[@michaelak6753]

its already been done, theres tons of documentaries you can watch on that :)

[@moonishvix]

The face you made after sniffing the fake mascara! XD That got me dyingggg!!!

[@FirstFallSnow]

The fakes look so damn bad. Might as well get dollar store makeup, at least that gets inspected

[@indigochild3700]

Dollar store dont have near the quality of some of those shimmers, also they dont have that big of a selection and the makeup is sometimes shittier at the dollar store. FDA approved makeup doesnt mean its safe for your skin. People have still been known to get diseases, breakouts, and rashes from "safe" makeup. Makeup is a bargain every time you wear it!

i’d just like to say, can we all please give saf a little break on the lengths between when her videos are uploaded? yes i understand it’s been a little bit since she posted but honestly, quality over quantity. i’d rather her take her time and put forth a good effort into her videos and upload every 2 weeks rather than upload every day and the videos are poorly made and not good. and also, she has a life outside of making videos. she has other responsibilities and other priorities besides youtube.
