Star, who has been teaching Dawson about the business of the beauty world while they collaborate on a new "Conspiracy" makeup line together, looked at the camera before revealing just how much Dawson had missed out on.
"Anastasia could have paid you $200,000 plus to do this giveaway," he said. "That's how much you just ... You just gave them so much free publicity."
"Oh my God," Dawson replied in a whisper. "I could have made $200,000?"
Star laughed and said that with Dawson's YouTuber fiancé Ryland Adams also in the photo, it could have been worth $300,000.
Looking shocked, Dawson joked, "should I delete it?"
The rest of the episode focused on a first look at Star and Dawson's new collaborative palette, with all the new shades and names Dawson had picked out, including a bright yellow "Food Videos," a beige "TanaCon," and a hot pink "Trish" (an ode to Trisha Paytas).
There was also behind-the-scenes footage of the aftermath when one of Star's warehouses was robbed of $2.5 million worth of makeup in April.
Dawson began the series by candidly saying he doesn't have much of a business mind like other YouTubers, and wanted to learn more about his earning potential.
