I've been on a makeup no-buy for a year and a half now and watch a ton of YouTubers who make content relating to this and project pans/declutters so I've made some observations about the community. I make videos about the beauty industry, the beauty community on YouTube, makeup no-buys & sustainability, but I've never touched on race. In this video I'm talking about the makeup no-buy/project pan community on YouTube at the intersection of race, and why it's so white.

*I've been on a serious mission to STOP buying makeup this year because I realized that there was a number of problems with the way I was buying. Please let me know in the comments if you relate to any of these things and I'd love to hear about your no-buy journey!
