The video is about examining fake makeup items and their real counterparts under a microscope. The host, who is a fan of makeup science, decided to take a closer look at some fake makeup items, which are essentially knock-offs of designer products. They replicate the packaging of well-known makeup products and fill that packaging with a presumably lower quality product to sell at a lower cost.
The host chose several makeup products to examine, including an eye shadow palette, a foundation, a highlighter, mascara, and lipstick. The fake products were compared to real ones, and the host used a microscope to examine the products under a magnifying glass. The fake products were found to have lower quality ingredients and a different texture compared to the real products.
The host also used the products on their skin to see how they would look in real-life conditions. The fake products were found to be less saturated and more streaky, and they didn't replicate the real products' colors as well. The host concluded that while the fake products might look similar to the real ones at first glance, they are not as effective when used on the skin.
