Unfortunately, Jeffree is invited to almost every PR event. If ya'll stopped buying from a brand cause of him, you wouldn't have any more makeup to wear. I don't think rihanna handled much of the invite process for her event or was even aware that Jeffree was there LOL.

That's fine. I won't wear makeup. Principles are larger than makeup. Folks are reasoning this away because its Rihanna....meanwhile other people not named Rihanna didn't get the same pass. I'm not with the wishy washy. I don't get why folks say it so casually that people should just be okay with someone being a racist. If you want to buy it, cool but don't suggest that it should be ignored so casually. Jeffree isn't a he said/She said/I heard situation....he's proven he's disgusting. If there are other makeup brands affiliated with folks like him, let me know so I could stop buying.

My friend went to sephora today and said yes there are many shades but most are in the Caucasian, and veering into light skin range . Not too many shades for darker skin tones. I haven't seen it myself so I can't say. She also lives in a different city.

Eh, the thing is a lot of people don't even know wtf It Star is. I went years before I ever knew of him or the vile things he said. I'm not necessarily giving Rih a pass, more so the benefit of doubt. Its pretty much a given that she didn't personally craft the guest list, she didn't invite the man into her home, she didn't take a pic with the him, she didn't jump on Snap telling people to STFU and get over his past, nor did she send him or any other YT'ber free product. :shrugs: A third party shooting him an invite vs a brand actually endorsing/defending him and putting his name and face on their products...there are levels for me, the latter is where I draw the line.

There's a crazy amount of light shades in every undertone imaginable, and she even designed shades for those with albinism. I heard that if the line is successful they will release more darker shades, hopefully that happens quickly as there have been some complaints online.

I had no idea who he was until I read about his lipsticks then got lost down a rabbit hole of reading about him.

I heard that he was invited by Sephora, they were in charge of the guest list and Rih had no idea who was going to be there. I only saw pics of her with a couple of influencers and she didn't mingle too much because of interviews.

I never suggested that it should be ignored. And yes principles are larger than makeup but I think boycotting his own brand is enough because a lot of brands affiliated with Sephora are not in control of PR. Fenty Beauty is exclusive to Sephora and they control who is on the list, not Rih. It sucks because I think she has a solid collection that she released and don't think she deserves to have that tarnished by one wrong invite to a launch party that was most likely something she was not even aware of. Maybe she could have and it would have been great if she did. But it seems like she didn't because there might have been more celebs and supermodels rather than beauty gurus if she controlled who was invited and who wasn't.

But you have your right to not choose to buy Fenty Beauty and I respect that. No hard feelings.:flowers:

Can Jeffree just drop off the face of the earth already? I don't want him associated with my fave in any way, shape or form. Whoever put him on the list deserves their a** whooped a stern talking to :cursing:

I ordered three highlight duos, three of the sticks and the foundation. When I heard there weren't any lipsticks I was hella disappointed tbh, but they are saying they are coming "soon". Eyeshadows, too.

I've seen a few people complain about the shade range and I honestly don't get it. She released 40 shades straight out the gate. 40! And the way it's been described to me, she released 10 light, 10 medium, 10 tan and 10 dark shades. Obviously, you can always have more, but 40 is nothing to sneeze at. ;)

the email from sephora said get a free sample, available in six shades....at first I thought that meant there were only six shades total. maybe that caused some confusion

The bigger influencers got the PR packages at the launch parties with every item. And smaller influencers got only a few products in their goodie bags.

Oh boo. Oh well the ones I watched all paid for everything and gave Fenty a solid review of it.
Don't really care for the big guys who are trying to sell me stuff they got for free. I've basically stopped buying from brands that send huge PR packages and send those YT'ers on unnecessary trips. Just added Smashbox to my list lol.

I got the sample with my initial order but after looking at the swatches on FentyBeauty.com the foundation sample I picked was too dark lol. Sephora's swatches don't look right.

The amount of stuff these gurus get for free is disgusting lol. Some of them do these "Free PR unboxing" videos and it's thousand upon thousands of dollars worth of products from just about every brand. Maybe not super high end brands like Chanel or Dior, but even Pat McGrath sends someone like J* free products. :oh:
