Celebrity Jeffree Star / Jeffrey Lynn Steininger - Sells Makeup, Really Dislikes Cunts

New collection - thoughts?

I wonder what church allowed this promo to be filmed in it.

The promo itself is well shot, and likewise the set design is fantastic (unsurprising, because it was done by Keith Boos) except for the fact everything is magenta. I mean, I know that's the point, it's a pink palette called Pink Religion, but it just ends up looking terrible.

Likewise the chasuble/stole/mitre combo with the papal ferula is incredible (again, talent in the form of an actual fashion designer) except for it being garishly bright pink with a liquid glitter purple crystal on the ferula. I think in both cases this is an example of talented people being given godawful briefs.

Everything else in the video is pretty crappy. With some of the models' clothing you can see they're trying to reference Catholic/classical iconography (the veils, the headpieces, the gladiator sandal/loincloth combo) but some of them are just wearing random pink stuff (what does an off the shoulder bandana print bikini have to do with the theme of the piece?). Everything else Jeffree wears is ridiculous - that last outfit does appear to have some stained glass Jesus pics on the bodice, but it otherwise is completely irrelevant. If you're trying to do "Oooh we're being sacrilegious" then throwing on weird outfits just because they're structural or have a vaguely baroque design on them merely dilutes the message.
 
Better pic of the Star Ranch palette. My original pic was crappy. Totally my fault. 20210730_154102.jpg
 
I never wear blue but I am going to try all but that bright blue. Just a bit too much for me.

I know that bright matte blue looks scary as shit but it could be pretty with the darker blue as a highlight/transition shade, and of course if you do a neutral more glam lid you could always do it on your lower lash line for a pop of color.

Blues like that though, you want very very little blush and a very muted lip.

You can totally find something to do with it.

Or if you get some Duraline, use it as a liner on the upper lid, but no other eye makeup besides mascara. I've seen that done and think it's a good look.

Dude that stuff is so worth it. Last time I checked it was like ten dollars and it lasted forever. Way more cost efficient than buying a bunch of liquid eyeliners and I think Nordstrom has free shipping.
Edit: oops I just checked its 18 but still, lasts forever

I love the stuff, I have some ColourPop shadows that have dried out, and it brings them back, also works on gel liners that are on the dry side.

The color scheme looks like a western wear store from the 90s.
Pray for Wyoming.
That Tik Tok video with the yaks and his designer goods looks so ridiculous. I don't think I've seen a more ridiculous thing in my life. What is the word, when rich people try to do regular people things, and just come off looking stupid and clueless?

Shit. I know what you're talking about but I don't know the word/phrase either. It's like a mix between "slumming it" and "poverty tourism". " Bourgeois Bohemian", maybe?
Also, I was going to screenshot some of the instagram comments, but they aren't even fun. Jeffree Star "stans" just seem like NPCs. Like, look at these YouTube comments and tell me if anyone of them look like they were NOT written by a bot.

I don't even know how people think this is unique. Most of those colors are variations on what he already put out, maybe a couple of shades off, but will look the same on the eyes.

And yes, his reds stain like a mofo.

You know, I was just about to comment "the last good palette he ever made was THIRSTY" but now that I'm looking at it...

All that's really intriguing is "biiitch!" "quench" and "submerge"... the rest are just every single fucking thing in any Urban Decay palette, ever, minus the neons obviously.

Even when I was a huge JSTAR fan I was still kind of like "...really? That's it?" with every palette release. The only two that I can kind of enjoy are JAWBREAKER and PINK RELIGION - everything else looks so fucking uninspired or absolutely unwearable.

You mean to tell me that I need these?

I need you to look me straight in the eye and tell me what I need each and every one of these individual colours for. Some are warmer and some are colder, but that is it. I have seen this 1,000,000 times before and done better.

This is fucking unwearable. Every single one of these colours will make you look like an actual corpse, save maybe a shimmer or two.

Even if you have a cool skin tone this won't work on you. This is reserved exclusively for MUAs or the very, VERY few people that look good in blue and won't look like a stereotypical 80s stripper.

Wearable. but completely uninspired.

You know what? After looking through every palette he's made, this is the best one yet - yes, it will stain the fuck out of your eye, but whereas every single other palette is lame as shit, barely wearable or has some other fatal flaw, this is the only one he's made that has few-ish repeating shades, a nice wearable shimmer, and warm tones that are finally not pink hued. I'm not that into makeup anymore but the last time I saw this done was with Gingerbread Extra Spicy by Too Faced, which even then was still not all that pigmented (hate that fucking word)
And even then. that's not including the highlighters and lipstick ETC from every release. The lip scrubs for Pricked seem nasty as hell and the lip colours are good but we've seen them done 1,000x before by every other brand under the sun; too faced, again. comes to mind.
So you know what? Good job Jeffree, it only took you 17 tries! :)
