      xamyx I only say ABH because I came into makeup right when the liquid lipsticks released and they were all the rage. I missed the hay day of Mac. I feel like colourpop leaned that way around 2017/2018

      @@KariTalks When ColourPop launched, it was back-to-back LE collections, and because the company had very little overhead, they could keep prices low, which excited people. It also meant that one could by an entire collection for the cost of one palette from another brand, and consumers were excited for the next release. As a result, other brands have had to keep up, especially those who rely on Social Media for promotion. Given how products cycle in & out, brands like ABH had to continue to release new things, or risk being buried by ColourPop collections. Estee Lauder was actually the first brand to play the LE game.
      I'm old enough to remember brands, overall, relied on Seasonal collections, and a solid core of permanent products...

    I think the fact that Jeffrey Stars doesn't portray himself as a nice person unlike every influencers helped him a lot. Because people felt like he was probably the least fake person. He was clearly egocentric, unapologetic and just a not very nice person.
    Other influencers who messed up fell harder because they were thought to be the kindest, only for people to realize they were human with flaws too.
    You don't expect a bad person to do good things so the impact of the bad things are lessened when compared to those in which we expected so much more of.

      Interesting you use the word "nice." I wouldn't call Jeffrey "nice" but I happen to think he's a good person. He's outspoken, he makes mistakes, he's a little too hair-trigger in his responses... but I believe he has a good heart. I've seen him consistently do good things for people. He relates well to the underdog. I think he's good to his staff if they're good to him. And also - he's a fucking iNCREDIBLY hard worker! i put a lot of respect on that. So ya... it's complex, but i"m not anti-J. Not that simple.

      This exactly! Back when I used to watch him, I always admired that he wasn't afraid to just go in on brands when they messed up and was never too "professional" like other BGs. At the time, that was authenticity to me bc it seemed like other BGs would be nice to avoid being kicked off PR (i.e. nicole concillio)

  • @Hannieah
    @Hannieah 4 года назад +3817

    "For whatever reason, he can get away with it." The reason is misogyny, he gets away with a ton of shit because even though women make up the major percentage of those who are buying makeup and who are directly marketed towards, the makeup industry and the fashion industry is misogynistic at its core. It's why female influencers can't get away with or are criticised more for the same behavior male influencers are, and why female influencers have to deal with a ton of ageism. Male influencers also don't have to answer for their looks the same way female influencers do, or are criticized in the same way or for the same things. It's misogyny.

    • @naestse4786
      @naestse4786 4 года назад +365

      Hannieah to add to that, I think also a lot of (straight) women look at him as like their “gay best friend” and therefore it’s ok if he makes rude remarks etc bc “he’s just like that”. Whereas if a straight man said the same thing they would be up in arms. Multi layer misogyny I guess haha

      @SurrealisticLEO 4 года назад +84

      4) Redundant separate plaette for the glitters, like why? If he put those shades into the bigger one, then it would've looked more interesting than it does. I've seen both the big Orgy and the mini in real life and only the mini was interesting, but kind of waste because why should anyone want just glitters without mattes? Why didn't he do the same thing with Orgy like with his other palettes? He probably had a sugar rush or something while he was planning these palettes, so random. I wouldn't buy then nonetheless, even if he made them more interesting in colour scheme or with the packaging.
      5) Disastrous naming. Want your product be sellable - name it properly. Orgy is a word that is deffinetly going to be cencored in social media, especially here, so why do this and shoot yourself in the foot? Oh, for controversy's sake.

    • @clairepeoples9373

      not to mention the theme! I don't consider myself a super prudish person... but a lot of JS fans are on the younger side. No one's mom is gonna buy their teenage daughter/son a palette called "orgy" with pictures of naked bodies on the front. I think its an example of when his desire to push the envelope kind of backfired into being too vulgar

    • @cowinafield6282
      @cowinafield6282 4 года назад +44

      The packaging for both this palette and the cremated palette were very unpleasing to the eyes. I think that a regular cardboard palette would be fine but for both designs I feel like the outer name was too in your face and not aesthetically pleasing at all. The background was white for cremated, which with the inside of the palette being white too, I think I didn’t tie into the colors as well. The little characters on the o*gy palette honestly looked not so great in my opinion for a brand that has had simple and sleek designs in the past. Changing it up isn’t bad but these two palettes did not hold up at all. I mean I don’t like the brand anyways but if jeffy is going to place himself on such a high pedestal he needs to raise the bar with his packaging.

      @@cowinafield6282 Yes! and sometimes he gets creative with it, but in a way that is a bit too unrealistic to use. Like the purple palette had a lot of wasted space, he could have fit at least four more colors in there for the hefty pricetag. I don't have it, but it also looks like it would be hard to store with all of my other palettes being rectangles/square.

    Any feelings towards Jeffree aside, the truth is that his brand used to be interesting, innovative and not something we have seen a hundred times. While JSC launched things like blood sugar, the market was flooded with neutrals. But after the conspiracy launch it has been going downhill creatively. The last two palettes have been a joke - 60$ for 5 shades multiplied a few times...

    Disclaimer: I am not a Jeffree Star fan.
    Unpopular Opinion: I don't agree with a lot of the criticism regarding Jeffree's Cremated palette. We know that it takes months and months to produce makeup and all of the palettes were already ordered by the time the pandemic hit. I don't think him releasing the palette in the time that he did was him being insensitive, but rather bad timing and not wanting to lose the millions of dollars he already invested into that project. If anything, he should be getting more criticism about the ashy shades and not necessarily the theme.

Not saying he's not allowed to make a gray palatte or else he's automatically ripping off someone else, there's no new idea under the sun. But the colors, theming and timing were pretty close

      To be fair, I think his palettes were often slightly too edgy for most influencers rather than it being a quality issue. I think he was ahead of the curve of that bolder more experimental look....and then once it took off, for some reason he started putting out super plain understated pallettes lol.
      I did know someone who was a big fan and owned multiple pallettes. What I noticed was that they would end up panning maybe 1-3 colors, have some moderately used ones, and then like half the pallette was basically untouched. Same thing when I look at reddit or instagram and people are listing off what they used in their look: they're using 1 MAYBE 2 jeffree shades, and then everything else is different brands. And nowadays, lots of brands are offering super bold colors with high quality formulations. Except they're cheaper, smaller pallettes, not associated to a trash person....The makeup industry stepped it up right as Jeffree thought he could start coasting

During rest of the year he could've sold something smaller such as hilights and lipstics, maybe annually throw some facemask or other suprise product launch on top of that.

(not saying she doesn’t deserve actual criticism, she does) When the Manny/Laura/Gabriel/Nikita ship sank, it really felt like the only person who never got a life vest was Laura Lee, despite Gabriel saying she was a good person deep down. Kat Von D had to give up her brand for her terrible comments, but jeffree is still doing fine monetarily. Again, not saying anyone shouldn’t be criticized, but I do wish people would at least keep that same energy across the board.

    as someone who has been aware of jeffree since like...2009 or something, it was actually kind of shocking to watch him build such a massive brand knowing the kind of person he was and seeing no real signs that he'd actually changed. i agree with nearly everything you said here hannah, especially with regards to people being more comfortable passing on his products now that they're not as "revolutionary" but i also think the reason kat and jeffree got such different reactions is also because jeffree is a man and men do get passes way more often than women do. not to say that people should've supported kat during her scandal, but the double standards are very stark.

    I became irrationally upset at the part where the indie brand's packaging was ripped off. It's one thing to look at pictures and rip off a design, but a whole other thing when you REACH OUT TO THE COMPANY under the pretense that you like their product. I see it time and time again in the lingerie industry. Small brands come out with something awesome (an extensive line of skin-like colors, a unique design feature, spot-on inclusive sizes) and creative directors from big companies (COUGH Victoria's Secret) make a huge purchase and next season have their own line of unique designs or inclusive sizes and colors. It infuriates me to no end when larger companies and influencers don't even try to hide the fact they are copying designs.

    The thing is Kylie popularized the big lips trend in 2014 with the whole story about "over lining and filling in with liquid lipstick" (we knew she had got lip fillers back then, but that was the story she sold everyone), so JSC launched in a pretty convenient time to catch the trend and expand it

    When talking about brands with a roller coaster history, I think of tarte. They’ve always been at the center of the crazy ridiculous and wasteful Influencer PR stuff in the beauty community and have had a series of both highs (ex: shape tape concealer) and lows (ex: shade range controversy). Would love to see you cover that!

It's good editing and you can tell he put work into it or whatever but it's overdone to me. He could've sat down for 20 minutes and talked about it all and it would've been better..

      milaya, I think, in this case, you speak louder with your actions than your words. Words can be cheap, and don’t always have the intended affect. In my opinion, if you don’t agree with somebody, don’t buy their stuff, don’t subscribe, etc. You affect somebody more by NOT talking about them than by spreading “hate” about them on the internet, where they still kind of profit off of it. Just my two cents.

I like Jeffree as a person more than Kaitlin but they both thrive/feed off negativity

I literally cannot recall a time he ever used the word cremated... idk I think he’s losing a grip on reality and is living in his own little privileged world.
