My reflection questions

# data[].attributes.body
this is the closest photo i could find that resembles how I was treated in my youth. My sister and I were home one day and she suggested putting makeup on my face, of course I wanted to be entertained by my older sister so I agreed. My Mom and Dad came in after the final product of my face was finished and my parents called me "Brenda". I of course found it hilarious and made a joke of it along with my family but what i'm getting at is, because i grew up with an older sister by my side I have become aware of the things that are considered "feminine" products and "male" products. My family is very supportive as well of the LGBTQ community and made my sister and myself aware that it is normal to be gay or lesbian it is not normal to not be comfortable in your own skin which is a very valuable lesson.

This photo is of Bianca Del Rose, the winner of 'Drag Race', a show about males who dress up as "drag queens" which by definition is a male who dresses up in women's clothes mainly for entertainment purposes. Drag queens will do a variety of dancing and singing all while dressed up with tones of makeup and a big fancy dress.

This is a photo of my long lasting best friend, Ryan. Friends since we were 9 years old, this guy has always had my back. When he told me he was homosexual I was very accepting but some others were not. When Ryan "came out" it was a very difficult time for him as many so called friends ridiculed him for being apart of the LGBTQ. People calling both of us gay hurt both of our feelings as he felt he was embarrassing me, while I was worried for him. Things like these come from us being from a small town and people from there being uneducated and narrow minded and it only took us a short amount of time to realize this.

This article basically sums up what James and Jeffree talked about in their collaboration video, reviewing each others beauty pallets. This gives more insight on what it is that they are actually talking about because for someone like myself, I found myself confused at times when they were talking about certain things.

James Charles and Jeffree Star are arguably two of the most popular and divisive beauty YouTubers in the game right now. Lucky for us, they joined forces to collab on a video. As one commenter wrote "Two queens in one video!? Sips tea."

The pair did a sister swap, where they each created looks using both of their recently released, very successful, palettes. James gave his MORPHE x James Charles "Artistry" palette, and Jeffree gave his Jeffree Star cosmetics "Alien" palette.

Throughout the video they discuss a number of topics from business to personal.

James Charles recapped some of the drama that has surrounded the release of his Artistry palette.

One issue with Artistry is that half of the shades in the palette are actually pressed pigments and customers felt this wasn't made clear when the palette launched.
What are pressed pigments? MORPHE's website describes them this way:

Pressed Eyeshadow Pigments deliver all the rich color payoff with none of the inconvenience or mess. Made with over 80% pure pigment, these shades deliver intense shimmer, multi-dimensional shine. The dual-use formula can be applied dry for a subtle look or wet for a dramatic effect.

What's the issue with pressed pigments?
In the video with Jeffree, James explains that these pressed pigments are not FDA-approved to be used on the eyes. Some of the brighter shadows also stained the lids of the wearers.

For more on this drama check out this video from Jen Luvs Reviews:

The beautubers also discussed James' new car and commiserated over what it's like to drive in Los Angeles. Both of the gurus drive Teslas.

"I love that we have matching cars," said Jeffree.

James explained how he felt he really pushed MORPHE, because he wanted the best for his product.

"I'm the type of person-I will say that I'm definitely difficult to work with because I know what I want and I will never settle," explained James.

Yet as far as the future, James reveals he most likely won't be launching his own makeup line (for now) or collabing to create more palettes.

"I'm not that interested in product development to be honest with you," explained James. "For right now, I'm really focused on Sisters Apparel and I've got some other things in the works, but it's definitely not a cosmetics brand."

The two also touched on how beauty fans often speculate about beauty beefs and how they are continually pitted against each other.

"It's not going to work," laughed Jeffree. "We're actually real friends, so sorry."

Another highlight for James was how proud his parents are of his success. He discussed how they went to the mall to take pictures of his Artistry display at the Ulta store.

Jeffree Star confides in James and spills some tea

Always pushing the envelope, we learn that a 10th-grade Jeffree showed up to school with his eyebrows shaved off. As a result he was nicknamed little alien, which was part of his inspiration for his "Alien" palette. He also explains he has a love for the extraterrestrial.

Jeffree also spilled some behind-the-scenes tea regarding one of his first launches of Jeffree Star Cosmetics -his highlighters.

"Someone made a video really going in on me like, this whole thing was shattered, they're awful," said Jeffree. "I clapped back instead of like listening to the complaint, because I was like there's no way, my formula is amazing. You're just trying to lie for attention."

Jeffree goes on to explain he should have never done that because he'd later learn that his team dropped a forklift palette of the highlighters and had in fact shattered 30,000 units of the product.

He explained that he wasn't told about the damage, the highlighters were shipped and so the customers were actually, rightfully angry and disappointed.

Jeffree tells this story as way to give James advice about being defensive when it comes to criticism of his work. James' sensitivity in response to criticism has been a much discussed issue in the beauty community.

It's fun to see these sister stars interact and for Jeffree, now a veteran in the beauty community, to take on a mentor-like role with James. We're hoping this friendship stands the test of time but if history tells us anything, beautuber relationships can be as fragile as a highlighter palette.

We're sure there will be a second video from the pair on Jeffree's channel, so we'll keep watch for when that's uploaded.

James Charles is just beginning his career in cosmetics but has also used his prior YouTube fame to make his pallets much more accessible to his fans. James started his career in YouTube while he was still in high school (as seen in prior videos) and made a major name for himself when it came to how he wore his makeup which really changed how males are now looking at makeup.

Jeffree Star is a 33 year old ex singer who has taken his talents to the makeup industry. Star's cosmetics sell at a more expensive price but by review it is well worth the price. Jeffery used his already proclaimed fame to start up this cosmetic business which is now a massive source of his success.

This is a video of two of the most famous male makeup artists, Jeffree Star and James Charles. This compares both James and Jeffree's makeup pallets from either of their perspectives. During the video the two talk about how people in the industry (like many others) will try to turn the two against each other even though they are close friends. This video also has a more in depth view on how the two do their makeup for fun to practice different colours and ideas.

After watching this video I find myself flabbergasted at how well James knows the product he is using along with what is actually in the product. James has mastered makeup and as he says in the start of his video, he has had many famous people watch his videos for tips and tricks on how to do makeup properly. James Charles has started a movement of male make up artists for younger generations with his dedication to makeup

I feel as though this video represents just a small portion with what James was dealing with in high school. Although he makes fun of these situations he went through now, at the time it was probably very difficult for him to continue doing his own makeup while it was still somewhat new to everyone.
