Apparently the video for Jeffree Star’s new palette got a lot of backlash from his fans. They were saying things like the video was something straight out of QVC and they coudl tell that Jeffree was reading lines and how the video was humorless and cold.
Being someone who’s watched Jeffree Star and all of his launches before I can kind of vouch for this. Something about the video did feel like a pitch you would see on QVC and while I didn’t exactly notice the reading of the lines that some of the other fans noticed, the overall feel of the video was kind of humorless and he didn’t make as many wisecracks as he normally makes throughout the video.
Youtube – Jeffree Star refilms the Blood Money review
I thought that he was just trying out a new style, as it turns out, Jeffree says that that video was because he was having a bad day.
In true Jeffree Star fashion he didn’t exactly elaborate on a lot of things, but he said that there were things going on in his real, day to day life that were making him really not feel filming that video at the moment. He said that he wanted it to be over the top and sickening and that’s why he did it in the setting that he did it in instead of how he normally does video launches, where he just sits down and plays with the products and wisecracks his way through them.
The people have spoken, and they definitely didn’t like the new QVC-type feel to the videos. No one tuned in for Jeffree Star ‘now on QVC’, everyone tuned in for old school Jeffree.
He said that one of the reasons that he hasn’t really been himself lately is because recently he had come upon the year anniversary of his breakup with his longtime ex, and it affected him more than he thought it would.
He also said that COVID-19 played a role in how he felt about filming that video too, because like the rest of us he’s still trying to adjust to this new world of social distancing and for a person like Jeffree, not being able to do events has affected him probably more than he cares to admit. (He used to do music, so he’s kind of used to doing things center stage and meeting people. This is new.)
In this new review of the palette, he went back to his old self. The basics, where he just sat in front of his camera and talked about the makeup and played with it. It was a nice change of pace and honestly, more along the lines of what everybody wanted.
So… I guess Jeffree learned a valuable lesson and that was not to stray too far from what works for him. It’s not a music video, it’s makeup, let’s not get too fancy here. Stay tuned!!!
