Jeffree Star and Shane Dawson have worked hard to create a multi-million dollar beauty
brand, so when one of their beloved subscribers, who’s done NOTHING but support their endeavors,
has been ‘makeup-shamed,’ you bet there will be some words exchanged.
What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News, and let’s get one thing
straight: makeup is a form of self-expression.
There is no right or wrong when it comes to how one chooses to lather their beautiful
canvas of a face in colors, shades, glitter, and/or any other form of crafty coverage.
Ok, so now that we have that taken care of, Jeffree Star and Shane Dawson are forced to
do some major damage control due to a fan being ‘makeup-shamed’ online.
It all started when Australian makeup artist Evelin Costa shared a photo of her face completely
glammed top to bottom, all thanks to Jeffree’s recently released ‘Blood Lust’ palette.
Sure, it’s the internet and it’s public domain, so we all know that people will have
their opinions, but did you know that there’s a Facebook group called, “That’s it, I’m
makeup shaming”?
Yeah me either, but line… crossed!
Naturally, it didn’t take long for people to get ahold of the photo, screenshot it,
and upload it to said Facebook group.
Hundreds of users in the Facebook group instantly began bashing her look, some claiming that
it’s “too much,” while some other users called it a straight-up “mess.”
Evelin got word of where her creation ended up, to which she shared her own screenshots
to her Twitter account to spread awareness for this type of ‘hate group.’
Along with the screenshots, she wrote, “Just got sent this From my @JeffreeStar #bloodlust
look, why is this ok?
Why is this group a thing, ppl r so stupid, lucky I don’t let this bother me.”
It also didn’t take long for both Jeffree and Shane to get a hold of what was happening,
as they were both quick to come to Evelin’s defense.
Jeffree quoted her tweet and responded by saying, “As long as you love yourself, everyone
else can f**k off…
makeup is ART.”
Shane also chimed in and added QUOTE, “This makes my heart hurt.
A group for “makeup shaming” might be the most pathetic and embarrassing thing I’ve
ever seen.
Keep ur head up Evelin and keep doing your thing! ur making @JeffreeStar and other true
makeup lovers proud!
Evelin soon began receiving TONS of love and support from fans who were clearly not part
of the makeup-shaming group.
Many took to her original Instagram photo to send her words of encouragement, like this
fan who said, “Girl ignore what all those haters say!
I wish I could do my makeup as good as you, I’m nowhere even close!
Love it!”
Another user commented, “I think you look amazing!
Ignore the people that are pathetic and criticize you for your individuality.”
Shaming of any type is clearly not ok, but to create a whole online community dedicated
to what some people think to be ‘horrible makeup looks’ is just absurd.
I’m curious to know what you guys think about this, and if you’ve come across other
online shaming groups, what is your initial thought?
Get the conversation going down here in the comments, and speaking of online bullying,
as we all know, this clearly hits home for Shane as he’s recently fallen victim to
a slew of hate messages surrounding his weight.
Over the weekend, he posted a video addressing his weight-gain and slammed anyone who feels
the need to body-shame, and revealed that he hasn’t been uploading content because
of all the online negativity surrounding his weight.
In the video, he said QUOTE, “Listen, my only response is going to be, ‘F**k you.’
People who make fun of people’s weight or attack people’s weight, literally f**k you.
You’re going to die soon, I know it, I can feel it, I’m a psychic.”
Let it out Shane, let it out...
Shane also did give his fans some advice if they’re ever shamed for their weight, makeup,
or really anything, for that matter.
He said QUOTE, “A, don’t let things people say about you on the internet bother you,
they will, but try not to let them bother you, and B, whatever people are saying about
you is just a projection of how they feel about themselves, or they just want attention.”
AMEN to that!
So I don’t know about you guys, but I feel like we should start spreading some positivity,
so right now, just share some sweet words of encouragement for someone down here in
the comments, whether that be Evelin, Jeffree, Shane, or a random subscriber…
Because, who knows, you might turn a stranger’s day around for the better!
