    I am looking forward to the part when they state the cost for making makeup. I worked in this field in the past and I know the cost of affordable makeup. Lots of companies produce the makeup in China and the production cost is ridiculous. The markup is shocking. I know jeffree makes his makeup in the US and in Italy so the costs will be different but it will still be interesting to hear them talk about numbers.

      @@bribellamy1451 what jeffree said is completely true. I know the cost of palettes made in China. They mentioned Kylie's palette costing 3 dollars to make and her palette is very small. The usual palettes with 20 shades that you can buy in boots cost maybe 5 or less to make and are sold for 25-30. Some brands are more 'honest' than others. Jeffree spends 20 to make a palette and sells it for 50 and the markup is not as high as other brands.

I did not body shame him by stating he is above average weight in proportion to his height. Opposite to that I only wished he did whatever he judges best in order ,not to get a "model's" body, but a great psychology that allows him not to make self depreciation jokes about his weight.

    It was interesting getting our different takes on the episode, he responded better to Jeffree than to shane which surprised me. But he said it was because of Shane's constant self deprecation and he felt he was needy and constantly requiring validation.

    I have a drama-related question:
    Did everyone just forget about when Jeffree took Tati's side in shaming James Charles and calling him a predator without proof? Like they all made videos saying they would be settling it privately, but Jeffree had already made horrifyingly vicious comments and accusations by that point towards someone 15 years younger than him, so really don't understand how he went back to being loved and idolised..

When we're heated we all say things we really dont want to, but these are people on the limelight, nothing they do can be erased. We all grow and learn by making mistakes, Shane and Jeffree are good friends and I think this series will show how dirty and awful this whole "influencer" world is. My opinion

    Let’s be real, Shane won’t discover anything. He’ll get information Jeffree allows to be seen. Jeffree has a brand to maintain and will reveal only what he wishes. My issue with these documentaries is Shane is naive and nothing new is brought to life. It’s simply a way for the subject to alter the narrative in the way they want. I’m just tired of Shane saying it will be an honest look at the beauty community. It won’t be. I also am tired of Shane’s same deprecating humor. I’m nitpicking I know I’m just annoyed that people act like his series are some amazing production when imo they are basic AF

      agree, honestly I try not to participate in cancel culture or anything cos its gross but seeing jeffree repeatedly fuck over people he claims to be his friends is starting to get old and I find it hard to believe he is constantly the victim. I used to love him but I just can't pretend that he isn't nasty af to people. Even the whole laura lee situation, I'm not justifying what she did but jeffree used his millions of followers to end her fkn career over a few tweets when some of the things he has said in the past is 10x worse then what laura did so it was pretty clear it wasn't the racism that he was bothered by. Idk about this whole series, it feels like 'jeffree star' has at this point just become a business and lacks the genuine connection that i love about watching youtubers, and this whole series is just an ad to keep promoting the business

    Maybe I'm wrong but I feel like everyone is totally missing the point of the series. Case in point the prom queen song: it 100% reflects what the series is about and the first episode confirmed that for me. From what I can see it seems like the series is about Shane entering into the beauty community to yes uncover it but more importantly how its bringing up a lot of his insecurities by the nature of the community itself. It's about him feeling like he doesn't fit in, doesn't feel comfortable in his own skin, his perception of what people think of him when they see him. He feels like he could never fit into a community like the beauty community "that's not me, i'll never be prom queen".

    • @lemonblesssed3753
      @lemonblesssed3753 5 років тому +6

      also we saw that theme again when he talks about other youtubers and jeffree being on the forbes list and how he's never been good at the business side and obviously that makes him feel a little insecure or embarassing: again "that's not me, i'll never be prom queen". I think anyone who has struggled with self-imagine and criticism (but self-directed and from others) can relate to this. I think this series is about Shane uncovering what its like to be those people who you feel you can't live up to but also him finding his place and regaining some self-worth/esteem.

    • @keira4346
      @keira4346 5 років тому +7

      Finally somebody who sees what i see. They think everything will be about drama, they are ignoring that wasn't the premise that Shane started the series with in the first place. I think it's called the 'beautiful' world of Jeffree Star because he's entering this beauty world through him. And for me the beautiful in the title seems more sarcastic than most seem to pick up on, especially cause it flashes from, scary and creepy before settling on beautiful

    In summary...
    Do I have to problems with the beauty community? Yes

    Do I watch it still? Hell yes and will continue as it's interesting.

      Balckface was already seen as not socially acceptable in the 1960s. He would have had to be living in a cave in Syberia not to know how offensive it is. Excusing doing blackface with lack of knowledge holds as much water as excusing using the n word with „I didn’t know it was wrong.” I’m sure Shane has grown since he’d done it, but such weak excuses are simply ridiculous.

Like, he was talking about how being with Jeffree was like being with a mob boss, and the very next second Jeffree texts him to come up and Jeffree and his assistants are just sitting at a table waiting for him, "welcoming" him into the family. And it was just... Weird to me idk lol like i get that they might arrange things like that, but how dramatic his series' are it makes it seem like it fluffed up for entertainment.

    I agree with everything you said, the series is about Shane finding himself and his confidence through exploring the beauty world with Jeffree and I think that is why they used the song prom queen in the trailer. Personally I loved the first episode and my only critique for it is that Shane should have put subtitles when he was mumbling because there were times where he was hard to understand.

    Also the bit him admitting he misses his old content despite currently criticizing the same old content he misses. Idk it just doesnt sit right with me. I'm not saying cancel Luke but that little admission just feels wrong

    Honestly speaking, I was a teeny bit disappointed because the trailer indicated a lot of drama but the episode was had a very chill vibe. I get that it was just the first one and basically the intro, but I feel like he should have addressed at least a little bit of the drama and ended the episode with a cliff hanger. I really liked the way the contrast between their lifestyles was shown and the shane-ness of it all but I feel a little more insight on the drama or even Shane's new makeup would've kept the audience hooked.
    Edit (more like a rephrasing)- by drama, I meant the drama in the makeup industry, the 'behind the scenes' that is generally not shown to the public, and the complications of it all (which was what I understood to be the topic of the series) and a brief idea of what he wanted his palette to be like.
    I am also speaking from a Writer's point of view, so everything I said applies to the way the 'story' is shown here. It would have been better if there had been a solid piece of interaction/info for the audience to cling onto and it would've given them a basic idea of the series.

I am sure the drama will be sprinkled in but I think so many people want it to be focused on and put high expectations and get disappointed when it's not there.

    love your commentary and channel (including vlogs, etc). bless mtv tana for bringing so many of us here.
    your take is so positive and sincere. so refreshing. i have some differences of opinion, but I'm definitely on the same wavelength in terms of enjoying the shooting and execution of the series. it was so engaging from a pov perspective, as you said.
    in terms of where i differ: i appreciate the "fluff" domestic moments of shane at home and the dynamic with ryland because shane seems more comfortable and ryland and andrew are both natural on camera.
    the constant juxtaposition with jeffree is sometimes offputting. its never ending anxiety and insecurity about money, appearance, crowds, drama, travel. a non-stop existential crisis, if you will. shane used to have a certain edginess and charisma in collabs (or faked it really well), and it all goes out the window with jeffree. I miss that side of him. the vulnerability is real. i get it. but man it is overkill in response to the beauty community. makes me wonder why shane wanted to step into that world at all when he could make money in any endeavor.
    that said, i am looking forward to the behind the scenes in the beauty process. merch, manufacturing, design. will be interesting. hoping to see Shane's confidence grow as well. but i think I'll most enjoy the glimpses into his life that play in the backdrop like his engagement, moving, dealing with youtube politics, etc.

    I'm so disappointed. I thought you were going to give an objective critique. Everyone is talking about how they cant wait to hear what "really went on" behind the drama of Tati/James/Jeffrey. I dont get it. If Shane really does delve into that it will be Jeffree's side and maybe Tati's side. That's all. That is not investigative reporting. And both Jeffrey and Tati made comments about James that were proven wrong. Are we all forgetting that? This would just be giving Jeffrey a mouthpiece to give his side of it and most likely come out looking good, since that's how all Shane's docuseries on youtubers are handled. (Tana, Jake, Jeffrey, Eugenia). He never really holds anyone accountable for what they do but rather mentions it and then ends it by showing us why we should feel bad for them therefore canceling out their wrong doing. Eugenia bad talked her friends that tried to stage an intervention to try to get her help and Shane never even looked into that to find out that her friends really tried to help but Eugenia's mother stopped the intervention by saying she was going to call the cops on them. Her mother was an enabler the whole time and she still lives off of Eugenia. The situation is not good but Shane made it look like everything is great. I have enjoyed parts of Shane's series but they're not perfect and unbiased. And in his conspiracy theory series he very negligently talked about lasers from space possibly starting the California wildfires when scientists and activists are trying to bring awareness to the fact that climate change is what is causing these terrible wildfires to get worse and worse. I found it despicable that Shane added to the "fake news" agenda by misinforming his young impressionable audience about something that is so important to their future. And the fact that so many are salivating at the possibility that "dramageddon" is going to be reopened is sad. I thought we all realized that this crap is not healthy for anyone.

      Yeah, I was a bit surprised when Luke didn’t mention the fact, that Jeffrey made multiple, very serious accusations about James Charles; calling him a “danger to society”, telling him he should be locked up for a long time, accusing him of molesting someone, while they slept etc. I don’t know much about Jeffrey Star, since I only follow the drama from time to time and only with one eye, but he really does seem like a horrible, mean human being, who even stoops as low as bullying teenagers on Twitter and calling black women „rats.” Which is why it boggles my mind a little bit why Shane decided to make yet another “docu-series” (and no, they aren’t real documentaries, since documentaries require the creator to at least attempt being objective) about a person like that.
      Is it all about getting the clicks and money? Shane has such a massive platform...if he really wanted to use it for good, he could have started making videos on/or about smaller youtubers in beauty community or another community altogether. Jeffrey Star, Jake Paul or Tana Mongeou don’t need the exposure, they already have more than enough of it. Why keep pushing the people, who are already famous and rich on us? It’s like he’s going out of his way to promote the most cringey and offensive people he can find. It’s all a bit sad, really.
