He is so sweet..
more Javon
He is a cosmetic chemist, and he is brilliant. Why wouldn't you provide his proper title? You being sus, allure. 🤔
Probably the best content allure has ever put out. Having an educated colored person on here is a 10/10 for me. Let alone the information he shared. I'd love for him to do reviews on product. Having a chemist do reviews on product is game changing! Thank you Javon!
Love that “hmmm. This is not worth $32.00…”
I really appreciate you mentioning ethical mining. Why dont the eyeshadow chemists at least test it on top of different color foundations?
I love this guys videos
LOVE LOVE LOVE Javon! C'mon Allure–the only reason I even subscribe to your channel is Javon. He is a CHEMIST. Change your title!
He's a makeup expert because he's a cosmetic chemist. He's a scientist for chrissakes. Why is he called a vague makeup expert.
This person is amazing!
Javon is a CHEMIST! He's a whole scientist, give him his flowers
Now i need to know why it has to be specifically hexagonal instead or circle. Hexagons has corners that may be sharp like squares no??
such a huge fan of Javon, would love to see him in more videos here! ❤
this guy seems cool! I like listening to people who really know what they are doing
I love Javon’s videos! I hope that you keep bringing him back— I’d watch every single one of them
Love this man!!!
<3 Amazing !
I want more of this guy please
I love Mr Ford's descriptions and information!
wow how cool was that to watch. Also, Javon seems like a very sympathetic person!
DISGUSTED by allures colorism and racism
The Juvia's Place Zulu palette is one of my favorites ever! It is so so pretty! I don't feel he was fair to say that the color payoff was not good. He looked at a pink, called it red, and then was disappointed that it showed up on his skin as pink?
Cosmetic chemist***!!!
He is a genius please do more with him
Wait a minute he’s a cosmetic chemist not a makeup expert, he’s not teaching us how to apply makeup professionally there’s a difference.
As a chemistry student, this infuriates me
Thank you Javon. This was very informative.
Liquid shadow
A: Chanel Ombre Première Laque Longwear Liquid Eyeshadow in 32 Vastness
B: Stila Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in Cloud
Please have him do blush, concealer, mascara, and lipstick PLEASE! I adore this guy.❤
We want more videos with Javon. I like his combination of layman's explanations and technical knowledge. Also, I love the music. Please add credits.
It's weird to me that he said glitter eyeshadow should be hexagonal and that's why you shouldn't use craft glitter because every craft glitter I've ever used is definitely hexagonal? I thought it was the other way around because it makes more sense to me that glitter shapes with corners and lines would be more like to cut you
That was very interesting! He is a Cosmetic Chemist isn't he? He's brilliant.
This is super cool. I love makeup but am also a STEM student and am very interested in the science behind it.
I' d love a blind test between Chanel Les 4 Ombres and E.L.F. Bite-Size mini palettes😁… Or Chanel blushes vs Juvia' s Place ones🤣
Off topic but if you pause at 10:57😱🤯. Davon' s eye symmetry is as crazy as his knowledge. 🧛🏻♀️🖤 (sorry, professional deformation at its finest).
I love this series so much
