Shane Dawson donated large boxes of makeup to the charity recently. Shane’s partner posted a video on his YouTube channel which shows large boxes in their house. However, instead of praise, the fans accused him of using makeup as a ‘cash grab’ to get views.
Shane Dawson and his partner, Ryland Adams, both have their own YouTube channels. They post random videos on the YouTube channels and vlogs as well. Recently Shane’s partner posted a vlog on his channel in which they showed the viewers their house as they cleared out their closets. In the video, Shane discussed how he still gets makeup from his friends like Jeffree Star, and at the end, Shane shows his makeup collection behind the camera.
In the same video, Shane shows one large bag and two full boxes and says that they are going to charity. His partner then estimates that one box weighs approximately 60 pounds and the other weighs 70-80 pounds. But, this video did not go without controversy.

But, influencers can’t stay away from YouTube for long, Shane might want his subscribers back now since it has been a long time.
